• Mexican • Walnut Creek
Booked 14 times today
Good food, good mood. Bar Camino puts a fresh twist on Mexican-Latin food favorites, highlighting the influence of traditional Mexican ingredients and flavors throughout Latin America. The restaurant’s worldly take on Mexican cuisine includes dishes ranging from a traditional skirt steak ranchero plate to a refined King salmon with fresh plantains and cilantro rice.Our décor combines contemporary and traditional aesthetics, with neon lights, a refinished cypress king’s table that seats twelve, and a patio featuring picnic-style tables with bright blue umbrellas. The bar program is similarly eclectic, with a play on a dirty martini with tequila shaken tableside and tropical drinks featuring fresh strawberry, mango, and hibiscus flavors. Bar Camino will feature happy hour Monday through Friday – from 3-5 PM and a “reverse happy hour” Thur-Sat from 8 PM until close.

    Nice new Irish Pub restaurant in Walnut Creek. The food was tasty and the dining room was nicely designed. The Guinness on tap was delightful. The only down side is the restaurant there is no Irish music! The dueling pianos is a nice touch, but so would booking some live Irish music. That may come as the Gibson’s Pub establishes itself in the community.

    Had a great experience. The food was great! We all had different items, my burnt ends and pulled pork was delicious. My son raved about the loaded Mac n cheese. They had enough gluten free options for my other son that he felt he had a good amount of items to select from( caveat, there is possible cross contamination issues with the fryer but my son was good). Nico was our server and he did a great job; very attentive and personable. We also spent time in the arcade and had a blast.

    The group of us had a great lunch at Bourbon Highway. We enjoyed the food and service. The sandwiches and salads were tasty. They really give you healthy portions for the price. Great deal for sure. All the sides were really good. Try the onion rings and sweet potato fries. The spicy chicken sandwich was probably our favorite. Glad this place started serving lunch. Doesn’t appear many people have figured that out yet.
