El Camino's in Peterborough

is it a car? is it a truck? no. its a mindblowingly delicious burrito!!!my only complaint is that I keep messing with the habernero sauce and it makes my face melt off... but thats 100% on me. why am I like this?

Food , its always really good and the people are friendly. It is the favorite Spot in town for all ages ,and the students love it because they can always count on it being open til 3am every night , wither there out with friends or studying.

They are open super late which is great the foods okay, but they have a reputation for overcharging drunk uni students

Usually amazing but this time the nachos were a single solid item, burrito was okay.

Every time I order from here it’s always fresh and delicious!! Appreciate all the staff’s hard work! Thank you guys!!💕💕

The man behind the counter caught himself messing up the order and made me a new one free of charge!One of the best reliable late night food’s one could get in ptbo.Thank you!

Good food, but the shorter blonde guy working in the front of house has absolutely atrocious social skills and shouldnt be working in a role where he is interacting with customers. I shouldnt feel like Im greatly offending him just by ordering my food.

Worst experience ever in my entire life. The person who was in the restaurant (tall guydont know how to behave. Why should i have to create fake review. I am person who never do google reviews at all. But this time i had to because as i said the worst experience ever....

Best burritos in town! Loaded with meat and veggies, packed tight, and piping hot. The perfect pairing is the Spicy Beef Nachos. Loaded with cheese, ground beef, and jalapenos.Everything decently priced for what you get, and the absolute perfect place to eat at 2am!

Amazing burritos! and my little ones love the chocolate chip cookies

Amazing tacos best place to go to if you want a taco especially really good munchie food

5 soft tacos for $20 and that included taxes and $2 tip. Such a great deal for what you get. I just asked for them to mix up the meats and sauces as they seemed fit. 3 in me and i am stuffed. Have only had their burritos before and they too are great. Wonderful staff

Quick and delicious service!Lots of options on the menu and friendly staff, open most nights of the week.A clean and covid friendly kitchen is where you walk into this restaurant they serve you and ask what toppings youd like and promptly package it all up for you.Walk out the back to an open cement courtyard behind the Peterborough square mall and the river and park are just a few hundred feet away.

Awesome food. Worth every penny for the quality and service. Definitely recommend others to try this place.

Amazing friendly staff, Even better food! Short wait times!! Must try for everyone who loves tacos

Food is okay.. but be polite next time while serving each customer. ✌️

Terrible service in the city the guy who own the restaurant (short Guydoesn’t know how to speak with customers specially with Asian food delivery guys i went for my take out order as normal when i saw his behaviour with the international students. Also i had to wait a lot for my order even though it was take out and they jus ignored me. These are the scammer people. Don’t know how they got 4 star rating on google.

Fantastic food and great service! Fantastic ownership! I’ll keep coming back again and again!

Worst experience ever..First of all, you are wrong about my past 7 generations but I don’t care what you think.Secondly, you or one of your friends posted fake reviews about me at A&W (my workplace). You did this because I complained about you to doordash.IMPORTANTYou accept orders in your tab of doordash and then dasher goes to your restaurant to collect the order. After waiting 20-30 minutes when dasher asks you about the order then you rudely say that you won’t make the doordash order and ask dasher to cancel the order because you already got the money in your pocket from doordash. This happens everyday with every dasher. You are earning money for doing nothing through doordash and other platforms.After doing all this, if you afford a HUMMER then that’s not remarkable.Lastly, if I talk according to you then my Family is proud of me that I have broken the chain of having non-luxurious car since last 7 generations at the age of just 23.Listen, I afford this car because of my hard work not like you and I’ll make sure that my next 7 generations will drive Mercedes or better one.⚠️Here below is what you have reviewed about me at my workplace.(Rude night crew, specially the guy thatowns the Mercedes telling people howhe runs AW. Its funny since their 7generations never owned a vehicle andthis is their first time.)

Very good restraurent. Friendly people. I do skip. On time food pick up and apt response for queries.

Worst experience ever..I live in north york, and visited my friends in Peterborough last Saturday. I went to this restaurant with my boyfriend . First of all, the short guy (looked like a traineewas eating in the restaurant while preparing orders which is so disgusting. Apart from this, his customer service skills are below average (a teenager can do better customer service). He misbehaved and has no manners how to treat customers.

This was the worst food experience I’ve had period. Extremely rude and none caring, made the tacos I ordered with everything I said not to put on and refused to remake it. Never going back and I recommend everyone stay away.Looking at how the owner responds to bad reviews I see he tries to place blame on the person posting a review and will not take accountability. Every experience I’ve had in this store has been terrible. The employee was rude every time, and did not listen fully to what I was saying. He continued to make my food without listening to what I was asking NOT to be put on it. And the food quality is terrible. All pre prepared meat, vegetables all bad quality. I’ve worked in many restaurants, and this was all a big surprise for me.As for the police incident for everyone who will be reading this, that was not me, and I definitely never received a call from police. Just another customer not satisfied who could not control themselves because their are a lot of intoxicated people that go there that is a fact, I do not drink.

Probably mediocre food quality but doesn’t know a thing about how to treat customers and respect their time and money.

Selfish owner and doesn’t know how to talk to customers. I was waiting for the doordash order, after 40 minutes when i asked for my order the owner replied that he will make it after 10-20 minutes and when i asked why so, then he said its my restaurant who are you to question me. He rudely said to cancel the order and get out from my restaurant. The cook (tall guysaid that we dont work for you and started abusing. This scenario wasn’t the first time to happen with me or with other delivery drivers or even the customers. Respect must be given to everyone under his service. The guy used to do deliveries in a hummer or a pickup for doordash/skip the dishes.

Very poor service and staff is also very rude, people are paying them and getting rude behaviour from that short guy and his staff, I want to rate 0 star but unfortunately, I am not able to do it now. save your money and self respect from not visiting such a horrible place.

Very bad experience.Ordered food online and got worm in chicken burrito. Been sick for 3 days.

Best burrito ive ever had in my life it stayed in tact the whole time i was eating it which was amazing. I couldnt finish it all and saved the rest for breakfast and it continued to stay in tact the next morning. This burrito is not only packed with tons of amazing flavor but is reliable in its structural integrity. The burrito will not fail you!!!!! :D

The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and they are open late. I highly recommend this place.

Tall man working was so sweet last night. An angry drunk man was harassing us and being rude to me and my friends in line after we made a joke about the food being on him and the tall man working apologized for his behaviour and gave my crying friends a free cookie. It was a really appreciated gesture and we surely will be back to support the business and the kind people of Peterborough

This place is AMAZING! The food is delicious and the service is even better! Super friendly staff and very tasteful food! Perfect place to fulfill your late night cravings! If you haven’t tried this place yet, you MUST!

Elite late-night dining within Peterborough. Greatest burritos in the city and amazing staff. It is a ritual to come here after the bars.

Such a gem. Food is fantastic! The flavour is amazing. Will definitely return! Two thumbs up!

Had an awful experience with skip the dishes. So I went to the restaurant. The owner is a sweetheart and went out of his way to help me out. Exceptional food with amazing customer service. Thank you!

I had the Reggie Burger burrito and got great flavour, great fillings, great service. Id recommend a large burrito if youre solidly hungry. Looking forward to trying more of their menu!

Havent been here in years! Went late tonight for a burrito. Its exactly how it was when I used to come here. Some if the friendliest staff in the city. Delicious food with great portions. Everything is always fresh and flavorful. Never ever dissapointed.

Such an awful place. Staff is unfriendly, food is so awful. I couldnt even finish it because it was so bad.Response to owner- Well thats quite bold of you to call a bad review fake. I came here 2 months ago so you know. Maybe you shouldnt own a business if your ego cant handle a bad review. Which reviews are opinions. Thats embarrassing for you honestly. And based on your response, I stand by my point- staff is unfriendly.

I originally gave 5 stars, but tonight was a really bad experience. The past few times Ive gone, the food was amazing, and it was made promptly. However, this time when I ordered 3 burritos on doordash, it took over an hour and a half to arrive. Then when it did arrive, one burrito was missing. Although Im upset and hungry, I feel terrible for the courier who waited for over 45 minutes for the order to be made, and could have been out making more money. I hope this was just a one time experience. Ill still go back because I know the food is really great though.Update: Through doordash, I am able to see where the driver is at all times; he was there for over 45 minutes. I also was in contact with him through doordashs messaging system and he said that he was still waiting and that were 7 delivery drivers in front of him. Also, there was no way that the courier picked up the wrong order because the two burritos that came were correct, it was just that one burrito was missing. I certainly do not mean to hate, as I absolutely LOVE this place. Just want to make sure to give feedback when something goes wrong

Went in for the first time and ordered a 3 meat on rice. It was great and for a good price. The staff was very helpful as well.*** Update ***Its been a year since first ordering, weve continued to order from El Caminos throughout the pandemic and have never been disappointed with the service or quality of food. Consistency matters and even though its been a rough year for restaurants, El Caminos continues to satisfy.

The food and service are always 11/10Hard working guy who puts his heart into this Mexican soul food, and you sure can tell. Definitely worth the wait if you ever need to, seeing as hes always busy feeding peterborough.If youre looking for a good burrito or something else, theres nothing on the menu that you can go wrong with. Prices are more than fair for the fresh quality and flavors you get.Pulled pork and beef brisket are my go to meats for anything i order. The flavors are better than I expect, every time I order!

The burrito I got from this restaurant was absolutely delicious. Sri who was working that night provided excellent customer service. Very friendly and quick! I will definitely be coming back again. Thanks so much El Caminos for becoming my new favourite tex-mex spot!

Went for the first time yesterday, got the burritos and they were amazing! The prices are super reasonable and the people there were so nice. Definitley going back very soon.Update: I go here literally every time Im in town. Never had a bad experience. Id give 10 stars if I could

The food is always so delicious and accommodating! I placed an order on Skip today, and I have dietary restrictions (vegetarian), and they called me telling me that they would add refried beans to my tacos to make sure I got some protein! The gentleman on the phone was so incredibly nice and accommodating - I love this place any time of the day, not just for a late night potentially inebriated meal!

Great prices and selection, I always really enjoy the food. Going in tends to be overwhelming between the music volume and plexiglass, its just a bit difficult to hear. Their delivery is usually really good and easier for me to order through. Open really late which Ive always loved.

Highly recommend this amazing spot!! Ask for Sri and if you really want something amazing, ask for his specialty burrito, life-changing..

Best burrito in town and great customer service. I never had to wait for longer than 5 minutes. Advantage of having a local store with such good food is that you get to eat FRESH MEAT instead of FROZEN MEAT. I would always prefer El Caminos over any other burrito franchise because of their grilled meat. Lowest prices in town is a plus also. You get get your meal in just $10. This place is worth a visit.

The food is very good -- its nothing spectacular for what the menu is, but it is good. Prices are good also. Food is well prepared and well presented, although the packaging can be excessive (e.g., it is not necessary to wrap a burrito and then ALSO put it into a box).What I have a problem with, however, is the manager. I appreciate the long hours he does seem to work, staffing difficulties that affect so many businesses, the plethora of drunks and addicts and crazies and whatnot that populate downtown and often wander in, the small/cramped work area that he has to work in ... HOWEVER ... he knows, I know, you know and the owners of the establishment know that NONE of that is a reason or excuse for rude or indifferent customer service. The manager will certainly make it known to you that hes not too impressed with anything ... his job, other customers, and you and your order. Theres ZERO in the way of friendly greeting, polite order taking, pleasant conversation, or thanking the customers for their business and encouraging them to return again and to tell their friends. These are all simple things, and customer service 101. 90% of the customers who walk in off the street ... even with zero restaurant or retail experience will know the basics of good customer service. It doesnt take much.Frankly, this is where chain restaurants usually excel: They have a training program in place, they have ongoing monitoring, self assessment, management assessment (or in the managers case ... owner assessment if need be), mystery shops, etc. No I dont want a chain restaurant feel/atmosphere at El Caminos ... but its time for this manager to shape up or ship out.

After a first time visit to El Caminos I would have to say a definite four star review. The service was very quick, the food was excellent and the gentleman serving us was awesome. He was helpful, quick, polite and made a couple of jokes with my boyfriend and I. After reading a few select reviews about Covid-19 protocols not being followed, we were skeptical, BUT all protocols were followed and obeyed by staff and customers alike. I will for sure go there again and would recommend it to others. Overall, good food, good service and super quick.Visited on Dec. 16/20 around 11pm-12am

First time trying today!! Flavour is amazing! Can’t wait to have my family try it I have a feeling it might be a new GO TO place for us!!

First time here. Was extremely disappointed on the lack of quality.The ground beef in the tacos/quesadilla was terrible. The taste was aweful. Not only overcooked, but dry/old ground beef.Definitely would not recommend or return.

El Caminos is hands down the best restaurant in town, amazing food, amazing service, and the tall guy that was working made me feel so welcome!Youve got to come here!!!Thank you for an amazing food experience!I will definitely be back !
