Camino Ranch Restaurant Near San Antonio: Tex-Mex Above and Beyond the Rest

In San Antonio, there is no shortage of restaurants offering Tex-Mex cuisine. There are however, few restaurants that take this typical South Texas food to a whole other level. Camino Ranch is one of those few.

Located just outside the San Antonio city limits in Selma, Texas, Camino Ranch offers customers aesthetically pleasing architecture and eye pleasing interior. Once inside, greeters await you and take you to your seat quickly on an average night. A typical weekend wait time is usually around 45 minutes, however, Camino Ranch offers an inviting patio waiting area and you can even receive bar service while waiting to be seated.

Service at Camino Ranch is right up there with the quality of their food. My wife and I have dined here many times and each time received great service. Our drinks have been filled promptly and we are asked if we need anything at regular, but not annoying intervals. The tortillas are made fresh, in full view of the patrons and all the chicken on their menu is rotisserie chicken, slow roasted in full view of the customers as well.

My wife and I have ordered almost everything on the menu and have not once been disappointed. The food is always very hot, very fresh, and very good. My wife says that their Margaritas are second to none and I have never tasted better fajitas. And that is saying a lot having dined at many of San Antonio's Mexican restaurants.

While their fajitas are my personal favorite, you will not be disappointed by anything on Camino Ranch's menu. While they do offer some fairly pricey items such as their steaks, most items on the menu are in the $9 to $12 range. That is a bit more than your average San Antonio Mexican restaurant, but then again, Camino Ranch is more than average.

Some other things that make Camino Ranch a top pick for San Antonio dining are the free ice cream for the kids (every day) and their kids eat free on Mondays policy. Kids can order anything from the kids menu free of charge on Mondays. From my experience, Monday's are also the most kid friendly since the bar area is usually not very busy on Mondays.

Overall, Camino Ranch offers arguably some of the best Mexican/Tex-Mex food in the San Antonio area. The combination of the appearance of the restaurant, the excellent service, and the quality of the food make Camino Ranch a top choice for San Antonio area dining.
