We’ve been driving to Berryville a bit more lately for dinner lately. Leesburg has gotten a bit tired, and the options there aren’t incredible to begin with. So tonight was our third foray going west for dinner while Syd was at a birthday party. Mexican sounded good so we decided to give Camino Real a try. It’s a tiny place downtown, not much atmosphere…but Mexican always seems to be best in these types of places. And we weren’t disappointed here. The chips are OK, not the best and not the worst I’ve had, but the salsa was great, very fresh and flavorful. Off to a good start so far. The menu is full of options, perhaps too many, and it’s very straightforward Mexican. I ordered the two enchilada combo, chicken, which came with rice and refried beans. The food comes out very quickly here and the plates were scalding hot. Everything was very homemade tasting…clearly no Sysco truck pulling up to the back regularly. The red sauce on the enchiladas tasted like very fresh tomatoes pureed with Latin spices, and the chicken inside was freshly roasted and pulled. Even the rice and beans had flavor, which is something a lot of Mexican places must find really hard to do for some reason. The food prices are very reasonable, and the bottled beer barely costs more than a soda or iced tea. Overall, the best Mexican within at least 20 miles of our house…we’ll be back.
