El Rey Cantina | Our Story
Bold flavors, everyone welcome
El Rey Cantina is Old Town Camarillo's destination for vibrant Mexican-inspired food, strong drinks, and a room that knows how to have a good time — all on Ventura Boulevard.
The welcome
Crisp tortilla chips arrive before you've even settled in, with salsas ranging from cool and mild to properly fiery — as noted by The Camarillo Acorn.
The atmosphere
Sugar skulls, papel picado, and red leather booths under star-shaped lanterns give the room full Día de los Muertos energy — festive on a Tuesday, electric on a Saturday.
The bar
The glowing El Rey skull sign watches over a bar stocked with tequilas, craft cocktails, and the margaritas that keep regulars coming back.
Live music and late nights
Live bands, DJs, karaoke, and mariachis rotate through — El Rey is one of the few spots in Camarillo where dinner turns into a full night out without anyone having to leave.
Something for every table
Tacos, burritos, portobello plates — the menu brings a whole group together without leaving anyone out.
