(292)

Happy hour happens every weekday from 2PM to 6PM and bottomless mimosas every weekend from 11AM to 2PM! There are locals that write reviews stating they won’t eat anywhere else for Mexican food. They will only eat where they love the food and service and that is at El Caminito. El Caminito handles corporate catering and well as weddings and private parties. Their loyal customers wanted El Caminito

’s flavorful, authentic Mexican food at their events. This is how this segment of the restaurant has grown, especially with the local high tech companies. It is hard to beat the inexpensive per person pricing that they offer, usually less than $15 per person. The motto at El Caminito is “Authentic Fresh Daily” and the menu stays very affordable for the large families that come in to dine. Julian wants to make sure that everyone has an enjoyable time when they come in to taste authentic Mexican food with the authentic and friendly Mexican service. El Caminito Restaurant is open 7 days per week.

It was an honor to host Larry Klein, Sunnyvale Mayor for the (early) start of 🇲🇽Cinco de Mayo celebrations🇲🇽! We are so proud to be a part of this community. Thank you for the support, Mr. Mayor! 🍹🌮🎉

🇲🇽 Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🇲🇽

Yesterday, I celebrated a day early at a local mainstay—El Caminito.

I had the chance to catch up with the owner, Julian, and enjoy a great chicken burrito and a mug of horchata. 🌯🍺 Julian offers authentic Mazatlán flavors and recipes that many Sunnyvale residents grew up on.

While Sunnyvale has a lot of great Mexican food, this restaurant has been tucked away on El Camino and serving food for 34 years!

If you want to celebrate with amazing food and even better people, come say hi to Julian and the crew.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! 🇲🇽

Not drinking but still want a cold one?

We got non-alcoholic Coronas on ice 🍋🍺
Same crisp taste, just no buzz.

Perfect with tacos… or just relaxing doing nothing 😎

Mole poblano is a rich, complex Mexican sauce originating from either Puebla or Oaxaca, depending on who you ask.
It's characterized by a thick, dark brown texture made from a blend of dried chiles, nuts, spices, fruits, and chocolate.

The dish has become a culinary symbol of Mexico's mestizaje, or mixed indigenous and European heritage, both for the types of ingredients it contains and because of the legends surrounding its origin.

Our version is served over boneless chicken breast with sesame seeds sprinkled on top, with sides of rice, refried beans, and your choice of tortillas.
