Contemporary Mexican

Boca Raton

About the restaurant

At El Camino, our guiding principle is to exceed our guest’s expectations in all areas – food, beverage, and ambiance – and create an experience that will arouse and excite our guest’s senses. As a team, we are inspired by the culture and the heritage of Mexico. To that end, we are passionate about bringing you an authentic experience not typically seen north of the border in chain restaurants.

We are committed to offering the freshest organic and local ingredients where possible, and we value local, artisan, indigenous and reclaimed offerings. We are even taking the not so typical step of making our own tortillas, sauces, and anything else possible from scratch. The list of craft cocktails is truly Mexican and includes house made sangria's, a curated selection of agave spirits, a diverse selection of craft and Mexican beers. In the end, it is all about sharing the food with the community of people who enjoy it. Viva México!

An unforgettable dining experience from start to finish! From the moment we walked into Il Mulino New York in Boca Raton, we felt warmly welcomed. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, and the service was truly exceptional. Our server, Julio, was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. He made sure every detail of our evening was perfect, and his genuine hospitality elevated the entire experience. The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented, but the highlight of the night was a special octopus pasta prepared personally by the chef. It was beyond delicious — fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with Mediterranean flair. This was easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in South Florida. Thank you to the entire team for making it so memorable. We will definitely be back!
