Campeche Restaurant

Order the vegetarian fajitas every time and they are consistently delicious. REAL SALSA and chips for sure. Very clean restaurant. Great margaritas. Professional wait staff. Only good mexican restaurant in the area worth going to.

The outdoor dining area is wonderful. The pico de gallo was outstanding. My wife had the ultimate fajitas which she loved and I had the full skirt steak dish which was also very good. Service was very good and very helpful. We would definitely go back.

My husband and I ate at this restaurant upon our arrival vacationing in Galena. We are always tired upon arriving at our vacation destination and eat Mexican as our first meal. The service at this restaurant was average, nothing specific we can complain about, but the food left a lot to be desired. The Mexican food at our local restaurants in Indianapolis is three times better than this place. Their chips were cold and somewhat stale and instead of salsa they serve pico de gallo. Unless you are a huge fan of onions, the pico de gallo will not be for you. Their beans were tasty, as they do not mash them up, but their rice was dry and clumpy. Just the way I like it, N0T! If you want Mexican food in Galena I suggest you go on down the street.

Love the veggie fajitas! Every time we come up, we absolutely MUST have one of their excellent margaritas, too. And the chunky guacamole, the bean dip & all their tacos are scrumptious.

Absolutely outstanding food, great ambiance, patio was so nice to sit on a summer Friday night, and XX Lager on tap!!! I was in heaven.
The singer struck the right note between humor and entertainment and our waitresses was funny and helpful.
The menu easily accommodated a vegetarian and someone ravenous for meat.
Highly recommended.

I have been here a few times and it never disappoints! They have a cute little patio and pretty decent food for Galena. I absolutely love the service here. We went here when they were 15 mins away from closing and asked if we could come in for some appetizers and drinks and they were very happy to accommodate us. Everyone is really nice and their margaritas are delicious! I would always come back here just because of their service! They treat their customers well !

I brought a couple of out-​of-​town visitors here for a week night dinner, and took advantage of the outdoor patio. The patio is comfortable and attractive, and the host very gracious and friendly. We were greeted by our server in due course. She turned out to be quite the impatient person when we took our time with deciding on drinks or dishes. Again, the usual Galena server reverse approach where the customer is there for the server. I just don’t get that. And then there was the somewhat needy musician on the patio who tried to engage us and every other customer in some interactive conversation, instead of just playing while we all maintained our own private conversations. To me, the music and the musician on this small patio was more of an annoyance or a distraction than an enhancement of the dining experience. And more flies than I’ve ever seen in one place all summer. I think next time I might just eat indoors.
As for the food, the menu is very comprehensive with lots of standard Mexican fare, many a la carte items and combination platters. we each opted for the latter. Mine was ½/​carne asada, Chile relleno with rice and beans. The steak was nicely done and it weighed in on thisat about 4 ounces. The Chile was a cheese-​filled poblano and was very good. Rice and refried beans were pretty awful. My friends enjoyed there enchilada quesadilla combos, though to me the quesadillas were sad little things. One little tortilla folded over with melted cheese. The salsas offered with chips were unremarkable, one resembling nothing more than a dish of crushed tomatoes dumped from a can and flavored with hot sauce.
The tab for these mostly mediocre meals was around $ 25.00 per person with one drink, tax and tip. So not bad, but really for Mexican and things like rice and refried beans, to me it was all worth about half that. I will probably come back to try some of the a la carte items like the fish tacos ($ 5.00 each) or a burrito. And skip the tasteless side dishes. Or maybe breakfast? And again, eat indoors to minimize the multi-​tasking challenge of eating drinking, chatting with friends, swatting flies and emotionally validating the musician.

Did not live up to others reviews. Food was just ok (steak tacos were very salty). We found the bathrooms dirty and smelly. Flies were bothering us all meal (we ate inside). Will take a pass next time we’re in Galena.

This was some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Vegetarian fajitas are fresh, crunchy, and not oily like most Mexican restaurants. There are several unique menu items. I tried the shrimp ceviche which was delicious on crackers! The salsa was different than most places and had a kick to it which we loved. Frozen margaritas were perfect, not too icey. The wait staff was friendly and there was live music outdoors. Be sure to make reservations for the outdoor patio. I can’t wait to return to try other items!

We had a party of 17, they took great care of us! The food and margaritas were very good!

Outdoor dining very comfortable. Musician vocalist pleasant and upbeat. Garlic shrimp entrée was of a good size and flavorful. Salsa and sauces spicy and fresh. Margaritas large and potent. Attentive and friendly wait staff. Reasonably priced menu… What’s not to like?

Amazing dinner and great margaritas. I had the breaded tilapia. Delicious. Very filling. My wife had the vegetarian fajitas. The margaritas are huge and quite tasty. I didn’t find the chips too flavorful.

Excellent margarita. Fantastic tacos — steak, al pastor, y shrimp! Friendly staff and attentive service. Don’t miss this gem!

Great service! Our waiter was awesome and very knowledgeable of the ingredients and menu items. We enjoyed the chips and pico de gallo. My date had the steak taco dinner I had the chicken mole. The mole sauce was delicious. We both had margaritas which were premixed and not very strong.
There was live music not very good but entertaining and he took requests.

It was not very busy. It was 11:30 on a Saturday afternoon. Our menus were sticky and dirty from spilled salsa. I eat poblano peppers at every Mexican Restaurant we visit so i know good authentic tasting ones. Mine were very sour and did not look very good. The beef enchilada was made with ground beef. The carne asada was very bland, almost watered down tasting. Then the worst part was when I actually watched the waitress put a basket of chips from a table of people who had left back under the warmer by the other chips to be served again! We will never go back, in fact I am tempted to call the health department. Yuk!
Also, it was way overpriced!

Food and service were excellent! The chicken and steak in our burritos and taco was delicious. Quaint little restaurant. Lots of outside seating when weather is good.

The quality of the atmosphere, food, menu variety, décor, all beyond expectations. One of the best parts of the experience was the live music. The kind musician even introduced himself while welcoming any questions we may of had, requests, and of course dancing is permitted!

I’m giving five stars because the food is actually good and authentic. I live for mexican food, so I can say that I’m not some jackass reporting here. The inside ambiance sucks, but why do people go to restaurants? For the food!!! Stop hating!

Place was nice and friendly. The live music was a lot of fun. Good food. It was not spicy but you could add hot sauce if you wanted. We got an appetizer and split a combo dinner. More than enough food for 2 and no leftovers.

The inside of the restaurant looked like it used to be a service garage. It was dark, but not in that ‘romantic lighting’ sort of way. The tables were smushed and a bit too close for comfort, so I recommend eating outside.
The reason why I’m giving it 3 stars is because the bathroom was dirty (ew) and the place wasn’t ventilated. It smelled like gasoline fumes. Hence, one of the reasons I figured it was an old service station. (Also, the big garage doors was another major clue… what can I say, I could be Nancy Drew!)
The chips and salsa weren’t too great, but my husband’s fish tacos were amazing.
I ordered the fajitas and the portion was HUGE.
Although the décor isn’t anything to write home about, the food here is actually better than the other Mexican restaurant around the corner.
My husband and I visit Galena a few times a year. And despite it all, because of our deep passion for Mexican food, this place will be a regular stop for us. We’ll just suck it up, eat outside and wait to use the bathroom at our hotel. What can I say? We’re suckers for good food.
