El Camino Blazes a Trail to Great Mexican
August 4, 2019 | by Beth Solomon
El Camino, the Mexican eatery in Bloomingdale, is blazing a new trail with fresh classics, artisan cocktails, and elegant design. Under captivating new ownership by chef Marvin Solorzano with partners Elsa Guerra and Angel Zavala, the restaurant is finally on a par with its neighbors Red Hen and Boundary Stone, stars of D.C. and the region.
At the soft opening, guests swoon over chicken and beef flautas and tacos. The guacamole grabs you with its out-of-the garden freshness. This chef-driven menu delights the senses with creative classics.
The neighborhood is known for restaurants that draw city-wide notice. Now, Bloomingdale can really brag.
El Camino ("road" in Spanish) is not just the path to home-made, fresh cuisine. A margarita on the rocks was transformed by cucumber and a subtle garnish, rather than salt. Mixologist Angel Zavala then poured a frozen prickly pear and mango margarita for a guest to sample. They don't call him "Angel" for nothing -- these potions are straight out of heaven....
