I've only been here for lunch, so I can't speak to their breakfast or dinner menu. All of the portions were large so if you're not a big eater, I would consider splitting an entree with someone. Be prepared to spend a lot of money. Lunch will cost $30-40 for 2 entrees without drinks, which would be more appropriate for dinner prices.
FOOD. I recently ordered Pasta Puttanesca with prawn - I chose the tomato sauce over the cheese sauce because I wanted the lighter of the two. The sauce was good. Not great, not bad. It was rustic with plenty of olives, but also plenty of capers, which made it a bit too salty for my taste. I took leftovers home and was a little shocked at the amount of oil that accumulated at the bottom - very, very oily. Their pasta dishes overall are too heavy. On top of that, each prawn cost an additional $2, so this dish ended up costing way too much for what it was. Lesson learned - will not be ordering pasta here again.
I've tried the salads here a few times and they're decent. I don't mind paying a little extra for good quality, but the salads range between mediocre and pretty good, so I'm not happy paying so much. I feel like the salads next door at Four Cafe are priced better and are tastier. One positive though, is that the portions are large.
The sandwiches I've tried are good, but same thing. They cost too much for what they are. I think there is a theme here.
SERVICE. Great. The waiters are always attentive and know the menu well.
AMBIANCE. Pretty nice. This is the type of restaurant I would take my grandma out to. It's a sit down, cloth napkin kind of place. You can dine inside in booths or outside (I'd recommend inside since Colorado is a really loud street and the outside tables are lined up on the sidewalk right in front of all the car action).
Camilo's is alright and I would come back if their menu prices were more reasonable, but there are so many awesome restaurants to choose from in Eagle Rock now that I don't see myself going back until that happens.
