El Campesino

Love the food, monster marguerita a hit. Food was me. Cazulada omg tequila sunrise made extremely well enchiladas super rancheros an absolute fave. Burrito special, well the meat was soft and very tender mmmmmmm.

El Camp’s was our weekly date night when we lived in Canton! We’ve always loved their food and have tried almost everything on the menu over the years. Their fajitas and chile rellenos are personal favorites, and you can’t go wrong with their refried beans and guacamole. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and helpful in recommending favorites on the menu. Definitely recommend when in Massillon/​Canton!

Ate there Friday for lunch. The food was fantastic. It was exactly as I ordered it. The service was just right. There when it was needed but never hovering over my table. I have found my new lunch restaurant.

One of the BEST Mexican restaurants I have ever been too. We checked out the menu and after ordering our food showed up lightning fast! Huge portions, attentive, friendly staff, inexpensive, great drinks… you can’t get any better than this!!!

When I first moved here almost five years ago El Campesino was recommended to us as a must visit Mexican restaurant. Our first impression was ok, but not great. With time, I have wanted to like this place but it is just a so-​so restaurant.
What is it I don’t like about El Campesino. In my opinion the staff lacks friendliness and the service is just not all that great. A proper greeting with hello would be nice instead of what would you like to drink and are you ready to order yet. Slow down there.
I have to wonder about how the food is prepped when it literally comes out faster than I can get an order from Taco Bell. Is this stuff mass prepared and then placed in the microwave and heated up? I tend to believe this is the case. I can’t stand when the flour shells are crisped on the edges and the sauce is runny and watery. This tells me it is microwaved.
Sorry El Campesino; your less than courteous staff is not doing me any favors. The last thing I want to feel like is that I am bothering your time by choosing to dine there. And with the food being less than average I won’t be returning again. A new Mexican restaurant has opened up just down the street and has excellent service and excellent Mexican food. Your not the only Mexican restaurant in town.

This palce has went downhill… always questionable when your food arrives before you finish ordering. lacks flavor

Pretty much just like every other Mexican place I have been too. For the money, its pretty good food. Northing special really…

Favorite local Mexican restaurant in the area! Great food but low prices! The margaritas are huge and don’t taste like the skimp on the alcohol. If you are in town make sure you stop by!

The best by far Mexican restaurant in Stark County! Great food, great service. The weekends are a bit crowed, but they are very quick. The will work with your order! Love spending time here! Great salsa. If your unsure what to try can’t go wrong with the cancun chicken!!!

Amazing Mexican food, fantastic prices, and the fastest service in town. We usually get our meals approximately 5 – 10 minutes after ordering!!!

It’s five stars if you’re expecting what it is, a homestyle place with good food. One exception is the tamales; I love tamales, but not El Camp’s. Way too much breading, not enough filling. If what you want is sort of a corn muffin with a tiny bit of filling, then El Camp’s tamales are for you. Don’t get the guacamole; it tastes like something from a tub at the grocery store. The cheese sauce is good, pico de gallo good, and if you ask for the spicy red sauce it’s better than what’s ordinarily on the tables. I suspect the food is made for people who have never eaten real Mexican food; wouldn’t want to traumatize Grandpa! But if you ask, they’d gladly kick it up a notch for you.

«What can I get for you my friends» Love their service!
There are not too many good Mexican restaurants in the Midwest and this is definitely on my top list! This place is too good to pass up!
This restaurant is kind of by itself when it comes to restaurants in the area. Parking is a pain when busy but pretty decent for lunch or early dinner.
It’s definitely got a Spanish style of decorating to it along with some nice music to go along with the atmosphere.
Customer service is fast and efficient. They get you what you want and don’t make you wait for it. Very friendly too!
To start off they give you complimentary chips and salsa. They do have salsa that is not spicy if that’s you’re thing. The food always seem to come out hot and fresh.
I miss this place so much and I have quite the pickings living in Southern California now.
No complaints on my end! A must try if you love Mexican food!

So this time we dined in, and it was worse than take out. The margaritas are abysmal. Maybe the worst I’ve ever had. The chorizo dip was better this time, didn’t taste burnt. The décor/​environment is awful… it’s loud and obnoxious with stuff falling apart. My meal was decent… I got the chefs special. The roast beef was good, but everything else was ok at best. I won’t be back.

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant and one we visit often. Fast (and I mean really fast) service, good food and affordable prices. Great place to take our kids because of these reasons. Always a safe and delicious bet.

You can’t beat it. They are cheap, fast, and good.

While I have been accused of having a very boring eating routine I like to go to «El Camps» as it is known around these parts to get the best authentic Mexican Food in Massillon. The Chicken Nachos are my favorite and it is great pre-​gamming food. On most nights you can find Jim Hale there and well priced Mexican cuisine.

We have lived in the US for most of our lives, so we have eaten our share of crappy Mexican food, but El Campesino has failed to meet even our lowest expectations. Deluded by the delightfully spicy salsa (which turned out to be the best part of the meal), we ordered margaritas and standard fare.
The margaritas arrived suspiciously quickly, and we were further skeptical about their greenish tinge. It appeared as if the glasses were colored, but… they were straight-​up green, a peculiar shade of green that haas no place in a margarita. They were almost neon green, like Gatorade. Gatorade tastes better than those margaritas, and provides more electrolytes, too.
Our entrees also arrived with surprising alacrity. Where do we begin? The government-​issued cheese? The gray, runny refried beans? How about the ground beef, which was supposed to be chicken? As an aside, when we asked the waiter why there was ground beef instead of chicken, he said my brother hadn’t spoken loud enough, and then walked off in a huff. We had to fight with him to take it off the check. Oh, the rice was okay. Sort of.
In summary: we only spent $ 12 on our meal, and it still wasn’t worth it. We should have gone to Taco Bell. Or eaten our cuticles.

It’s pretty much guaranteed that this place is going to be packed out. Also, during the time we lived in Canton, it was pretty much guaranteed that we’d see people we knew there. In short, a lot of people eat very often here, and for good reason. The food isn’t mind-​blowing, but it’s good, affordable, hefty portions of that Mexican-​American brand of culinary tastiness that everyone has come to know and at least have familiarity with. I’d rather eat here any day than chow at the other Mexican options in Canton (i.e. Don Pablo’s, Chi Chi’s), and I’ll always leave with some cash left over for snazziness. In my book, that’s a pretty good deal.
Prepare to wait in line. Be forewarned of that.

I was in Canton on a business trip and this place was recommended by the locals. I’ve been here twice and food was excellent on both the occasions. I was surprised to see how packed they were on a Wednesday night. I had the Carnitas dinner and it was so good that I had the same thing when I went the second time! My colleague had chicken fajitas and that was good too.
I think service could vary depending on the waiter because service was really slow on my second trip but the food makes up for it.

Donde esta FLAVOR?
HOLY SHRIMP. I ordered a grilled shrimp salad. There were 20 – 30 pretty tasty, no-​tail, grilled tender shrimp on my salad. There were so many that I couldn’t even finish them. THAT has never happened before. On the side was at least 8 ounces of guacamole– must be frozen? Couldn’t put a dent in that either.
I ordered a side of beans. A SIDE. As in, like a little side cup, right? No way. This ‘side’ of beans arrived on a 10″ plate. GLOP, GLOP– Lots of beans, but where’s the spice?
Sometimes places only have Corona, not Corona light. They had CL. Yeay! Also margaritas & a full bar, so mixed drinks are available should you so desire
Bottom line, if you want flavor, head over to chain Don Pablo’s in the Strip. If you want a trough-​full of inexpensive, BLAND «Mexican» food, El Campesino is your best bet. Judging by the crowd, that’s how people like it.
