This place hasn't changed one bit in 10 years. Looks like a rundown Dennys, food was okay. Molcajete was room temperature, almost cold. Molcajete is normally brought out scorching hot in a real Molcajete, not a plastic one. Aguachiles were good had the perfect level of spiciness. Will be back in another 10 years, possibly.

We had a great time out for dinner at El Campanario. My wife ordered a casadea with chicken. Her sister ordered a Chimichanga that she enjoyed very much. I ordered a taco salad with chicken, which was excellent. Our service was excellent as well. Again, it was a great time for our first visit.
El Campanario is a hidden little secret that deserves being told more.The restaurant was busy, but service was prompt and friendly. We came in for margaritas and nachos, but mostly seafood on the menu. We did get our chicken nachos and they were better than average.The restaurant looks like it was once a Dennys or Carrows. With the bright lighting and booth-like lined up seating, not much obvious change in ambience.Drinks, food and service good, but the people in the exposed next tables are watching the whole time.

The food and service was very quick we got seated right away and drinks were taken by the hostess a gentleman brought the drinks over and then right away someone came over with chips and salsa I was very pleased with the speed of service and the food was just as tasty we had two items fajitas which we are very specific and difficult to order because we want them a certain way and they did it 100% without question and my father loved them they were delicious my mother and I split a combination plate dinner with taco and enchilada an extra taco the tacos were crisp and fresh as we had ordered the crunchy tacos and the enchilada was to die for the sauce was tasty the rice and beans were good traditional refried beans the rice was different than other Spanish style rice and I've had previously but it was good with no complaints the restaurant was clean and look very presentable even though it was very busy and has a full bar it was not loud or overbearing it had a very nice basic ambiance keep it up and we will be back

If you want authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Go for the food, not for the Ambiance. They have all the major traditional dishes that you can't get most places. Reasonable prices too.

The shrimp in garlic butter is amazing. The pricing is extremely fair. This restaurant is always busy for good reasons!

Exceptional authentic South of the border food and drink!
The food was delicious. Fast service. Lots of people working there, so there was always someone coming by the table. We came from out of town, so we were pleasantly surprised by everything.

I ordered tostadas de ceviche. They were flat. I'm used to a nice amount or mount⛰ $14.00 for what they served? I felt cheated?Unfortunately I noticed a lil hair as I finished? should of paid more attention to my plate instead of how much was served. Maybe some nets for the cooks would help a bit?
