La Campana Restaurant

Their motto is Comida 100% Mexicana and it does live up to their claim. I got the chilaquiles in red sauce with a bistec and scrambled eggs. The portions were ample enough for two. The star of the platter was the bistec. Normally these flattened pieces are nothing to write home about but this was tasty, just enough marbling, and cooked well. Solid authentic breakfast.

After bragging to out of town family about this place we went to go have some great Mexican food. We stood by the doorway a few mins, while the cashier helped other customers. She didn't acknowledge us, not even a look our way. Nothing. Even after she was done, just wouldn't look at us. I finally asked if they had a table for a party of 6. She rudely answered that it would be at least a 20 min wait. Which we would've gladly waited but her attitude killed it for us, so we left. I've told others about this place and they've had a similar experience. I didn't want to believe it but I guess they were right. We won't be going back. Owners/management should have a talk with staff.

I love their breakfast burritos and I usually get them for take out. There have been numerous times that I can not get any one to answer the phone. This morning I called twice shortly after they opened and got no answer. I waited about 15 minutes and tried again. They answered and asked me hold for "a few seconds" I waited on hold for 10 minutes after she just stuck the phone in her pocket and could hear her just walking around helping other people. After 10 minutes, she just hung up. This has happened numerous times, but it's been a while so I thought they had fixed the problem. I guess not. I guess I don't need a breakfast burrito that bad.

The food was delicious. The chips were stale. The hot sauce was tasty. The sewer smell was atrocious. The sweet air freshner they kept spraying did not help. UPDATE: As of October the bathrooms are nice and no smell in the restaurant. They have remodeled and made the dining area bigger. The food as always tastes amazing

Our first time was wonderful ❤️ the food was great, the hospitality was awesome. Luisa was extremely nice. With employees like her there my family and I will definitely make this our Amarillo stop for Mexican cuisine.

The food is always fantastic here it does get busy quickly so go early. I absolutely love the chicken pozole and the hot sauce .

I've driven past this place for years and never stopped in but I'm glad I finally did. I took a seat and my server was right there to take care of everything. I ordered stacked cheese enchiladas with eggs on top and it was excellent. It was so delicious and very plentiful, to the point I couldn't finish it all. Also their salsa had just the right amount of zip to it to compliment everything nicely. I'll definitely be back. Update June 2022: You really need to come eat at this hidden gem. The food is always great and the service is always friendly.

I love the small atmosphere. Very cozy vibe. Service was amazing, very personable, caring, and relaxed. Also cane sugar soda in glass bottles just hits different. Nostalgia comes to mind.

We always enjoy this place. Never had anything here except the huevos Rancheros! Want to try the carne asada next time!

Sunday 930a.m., easy parking, easy seating. Varied menu includes options such as ribeye, ham, chorizo, and no meat options, such as egg, potato, cheese. Chorizo a la Mexicana was my choice, menudo grande, and 3 burritos to go. Food tastes delicious to me. Simple homestyle cooking. Excellent service, helpful staff. The vibe is the usual casual cafe style.

Stopped here for breakfast burritos as we were passing thru on a Sunday. The machaca burrito was excellent!

If I could leave a zero star rating I would. I ordered the Barbacoa and it was salty and not good at all. I asked them if I could get something else. And they said I would have to pay for the one I didn't eat too. Horrible customer service. I don't recommend.

Loved the food, I brought my sister from Ft.Worth and she loved it! Menudo was on point!

Best salsa in town and the pork in red sauce burritos are amazing! Everything else on the menu, including menudo, is really great too! Always a staple when I'm in the mood for Mexican Food!!

Food Service NO STARS!!! We spent the night and looking for a good breakfast. The food was amazing, sorry took no pictures, it took me back to my south Texas tastebuds! Add chorus to your beans you will not regret it! But, the waitress we had was worth the $1 tip I left her. Her attitude changed as soon as I started asking questions about the menu. She had a resting mean face after that and never checked on us, I called her several times and I know she heard me. I left my nearly touched Menudo since I couldn't get a Togo container and went to pay without the check since she never brought it! She needs to not work around people if it kills her to be nice, answer a few questions and smile.

Food is always really good! The service is great and love their queso!!! It's always clean, everyone is always friendly and the service is always great!!! Hidden gem here in Amarillo!!!

Delicious if you're interested in real Mexican food. The parking lot should be an indication of good food and this place is great. Loved the huevos rancheros!

After considerable research and yelping, reading reviews of various restaurants and looking through their pictures, I chose this place to have breakfast because it looked like they had Migas, something I love but can't find in Arizona or California so I try to eat them when I get to Texas. I knew I was taking a little bit of a chance if they didn't have all day breakfast but I figured I'd find something else that would satisfy me and come back another day if I was too late. It was probably around 3 p.m. when I got here and fortunately for me the first thing I saw on the menu was breakfast served all day, the second thing was Migas for $5.99, a much better price than they had it for at La Fiesta Grande, which only serves them on the weekends, only till 2 p.m., and charges $8 for them. I decided to get some queso to go with my chips because the pictures of it looked good. The queso came first, and I nearly filled up on it because I hadn't eaten yet all day. Still, they gave me enough that I probably took half of it home and finished the next day. Their salsa was excellent with much better flavor than that which I had at La Fiesta. It had a good kick it didn't burn my mouth so I ate quite a bit of it but still had some to bring back to the motel that night. Their potatoes impressed me because they were obviously fresh-cut, you can't duplicate that texture with with frozen potatoes, almost like diced french fries, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I usually try to stay away from potatoes and didn't even notice they came with the Migas but can't say I was sorry to eat them. They weren't over-salted either like so many fried potatoes are. The Migas were also delicious and the frijoles were very good. The service was excellent up till the end when I was ready for my bill and a to-go container. I think I waited 20 or 30 minutes for someone to finally check back with me so I could package up my leftovers and pay my bill. Fortunately I wasn't in a hurry so I just sat and played with my phone until I finally caught my girl's attention. Once she came over everything happened quickly and I was able to move on to my next activity. Would I go back here? Definitely! Would I recommend it to others? Absolutely!

Looks pretty shabby on the outside but truly great huevos divorvciados with both green and red sauce with pork and eggs the way you like them. The salsa is green and tasty. It's not expensive either.

Great food, service, and Best homemade tortillas, good coffee !! Overall everything was good.

The hot sauce is the best around town. With a good breakfast ,top it off with the Homeade tortillas. Tamales matadS is the go to.

So glad we stopped here for breakfast. Just about to order when I noticed Green Chili Chicken Posole in the menu. OMG-this is so difficult to find (and for me to make!!) AND it did not disappoint! The large looked too big, but I finished it with a little help!!

We shared the shrimp chicken and beef fajitas. Tortillas were fresh, everything was fresh. beans were great too. Only beans my husband has ever liked.Kids had quesadillas and enjoyed them. Complimentary Chips and salsa so good. Place was full of locals. Neighbourhood was your typical under the overpass but i guarantee if you get in the door you'll be back here. Authentic sit down Mexican cafe with open kitchen. They also gave us free made on the spot churros and ice cream for choosing their restaurant over any other. Such sweet people.

This place is definitely one of those finds that changes your future taste buds!! The food was amazing and the customer service was just as amazing. We stopped in for breakfast before church and it was definitely a great way to start the day. Our server was very friendly, I ordered her recommendation and was definitely glad I did. The hot sauce had great taste, the tortillas were freshly made and by far better than I've ever had. We will definitely be back!!

There food is great but the service is SLOW and we often have to do call in orders and they are TERRIBLE at answering their phones. At times we end up having to pick another place because you can not get them to answer their phone.

This place is very local. For breakfast I love the eggs with red chili sauce. Mi Rancho is what they call it. The Enchilada Breakfast is also one of my favorites. Carne Guisada is also worth trying. Fir lunch or dinner you can expect very respectable Tex-Mex. heavy on Enchiladas and tacos. Don't expect the high-end hype of most Mexican food restaurants. This place is back to basics with an emphasis breakfast. This is not a "get your margarita" on place. Opposite. Get a Carta Blanca, a plate of beef enchiladas with carne sauce and you will be satisfied.

This place is the best place to eat in Amarillo, hands down! Oh my goodness! We walked in and sat down and we were immediately greeted with a smile and chips and salsa. The hot sauce is a bit spicy but oh so good! I kept gobbling it up. Shortly thereafter, we received our food and let me say the plates were the size of Texas! I had the Steak and Chilaquiles with over easy eggs with a side of beans and let me say it did not disappoint! It was so good and full of flavor. The tortillas weren't soggy but yet cooked to perfection with just the right crunch. The sauce was perfect. The steak was cooked to my specification and complimented the chilaquiles well. My Hubbt, ordered the Flats with over easy eggs and he didn't left his head up for a few minutes. I have to admit I tasted his plate before even trying mine and it did not disappoint! He ordered his with cheese and added steak from my plate and it was amazing! We left so full and satisfied! Can't beat that! Make sure you go early cause they aren't open all day and make sure you get the chilaquiles!

Nice little spot in the cut. Perfectly proportioned tacos,rice,& beans. Definitely leaves you wanting more & try the flan :)

Looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Incredible! Everything is worth a try!

Mexican plate was awesome... and great price. To much food. Salsa was hot today... chip were fresh and kept them coming... Tuesday - Saturday 4-8 you get free sopapilla

I could write a paragraph on how La Campana looks but this is about the food and service so lets get to it. My table ordered tamales montavos and nopales a la mexicana. When we placed the order we asked for the eggs on the nopales to be over and easy instead of scrambled the waitress told us that was fine, and never returned to let us know it was not possible . Once we received our food we sent it back due to the eggs being scrambled. The waiter then brought the plate back to us and told us that it was not possible to do over and easy eggs due to the mix. When we told her we just would do without the whole plate she returned again and said that they would go ahead and do the order the way we asked, weird. The other plate was good, however the potatoes there are not seasoned. Overall I would not return to this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in the area with great food and wonderful service.

Won't ever answer there phone to place an order and even when they do and tel you it will be ready in 20 min and you show up 30m later and they haven't even started makes it even worse. Customer service is awful there used to go here almost every weekend not sure what has changed but wouldn't recommend going or waiting here

In my band, there are two of us that are half-Mexican, which makes one collective Mexican. I wish there were more of us to enjoy the awesomeness that is La Campana. Inexpensive and the best Mexican food I've had outside of Little Mexico in Chicago, I will definitely be back! The chips and salsa are great, and definitely go for the Diablo Platter.

This place is very deceiving, extremely rundown on the outside, however inside is clean, service was friendly and fast, food was very delicious and tasty. I ordered a simple breakfast taco, chorizo egg potato and bean, the plate came out fast and piping hot.

The worst food I've ever tasted in my Life please do not waste your money on this restaurant!!!!

Yummy authentic mexican food! Gordita and cheese enchilada were delicious! Will stop in again if ever in town!

Couldn't decide on what Mexican food place to eat and remembered this "whole in the wall " La campana! The food is delicious! We typically always order La Campana plate with 2 chicken enchiladas, carne guisada and rice and beans. Highly recommend! Spicy salsa and chips in abundance and so very attentive staff. They have $1 American beers from 4-8 and on the house sopapillas . On another note, went to Yelp to post review and it showed to be closed but that was not correct info. It was around 645 and they are open until 8. Not sure how that gets corrected.....? Either way, give it a try! Delicious!!

The food was good however the service was not. It was a super busy and when we entered we stood their awkwardly because there were no signs saying wether you wait to be seat or self seating. After awhile someone approached us and sat us down. After we got sat down we waited about 10-15 minutes for our waiter to take our drink orders and bring chips to the table. The chips were good they were thin and crispy. I ordered the green chicken posole and liked it.

The absolute best Taqueria in Amarillo! Don't live there anymore but anytime we are in town we have to stop by for breakfast. Tamales Montados is the best!!

Iv been going here for years damn good food and nice Waiters in the Best Way, Vos rancheros and down I love come to this place it's fantastic good atmosphere hopefully she can expand more to the building next to her

All right. We're in Amarillo, Texas, night four of a cross-country trip. We don't want AppleTGIChili's. We want something good, something local. What to do? Consult Yelp! We found this place and swayed by the glowing reviews, we went. I must say, I didn't find this place terrible-terrible. The service could have been a little nicer. I leaned over to my boyfriend and said, "Looks like someone's not feeling the recession pinch and doesn't need any new customers" when we were left standing at the door, ignored, in a place with four other people eating. Points for really fresh guacamole. My fajitas were good, except for the oil all the veggies were sitting in. Blech. My boyfriend, however, said this was the worst place he'd ever been to in his life - terrible service, depressing atmosphere, bland food. My two-star rating is mostly based on his assessment, although my own would be at the bottom range of a three, or the high end of a two. Either way, we both agreed on one thing: What the heck were Yelpers thinking? Is there another, better La Campana we don't know about? And it's sad, because I think experiences like this are the reason people go to Applebee's when they're in unfamiliar places instead of being a little adventurous and supporting a local establishment. Luckily, we won't ever be here again, or in Amarillo, for that matter. Praise Jeebus!

They're speedy & friendly, the food is amazing, and even the brokest of broke people can afford to eat here once in a while (take my word for it)! If you go for lunch, you AND a friend can go all out and stuff your faces for like $15 total. Second best enchiladas I've ever had in my life (the best being at Paco's in Albuquerque). Real home cooking without being too greasy. The interior is bright and cheerful, they have a good selection on the menu, and you can do dine-in, take-out or whatever. And truly rine, very hot salsa. The only drawback is that most of the waitstaff has fairly poor English. If you don't know Spanish, it is inadvisable to call this place with virtually any complicated question. (For reference, we'll define that as anything more involved than "Do you guys do take-out?") Just be careful not to get a jones for this place on a Monday, because like almost every decent restaurant in A-town, they're closed on Mondays.

This is the worst customer service that I have ever experienced! I so agree with Liz F. As a family, we go to La Campana at least 2 times a week for 10 plus years. We have never experienced this poor service. I believe either they have a new cook or they must be having a bad month. The hamburger was raw and showed pink-which of course was used in every plate we ordered. Had it taken back and ordered similar item..but get this they charged me for both items!! And yes you guessed it..the hamburger was still raw. Ended up paying for both and the manager wouldn't even talk or look at us. Never again..Shame on you!!

place is a horrible hole in the wall , meet waa undercooked charged me 7.21 for a burrito that said 4.99 one glob of sour cream in the front of the burrito barely any cheese i asked for more spur cream it never showed up i asked for more cheese this goofy gurl tried to charge me 4.50 i got up and walked out i should have left that sorry burrito in that weak hole in the wall. i would rather eat tacos from mcdonalds or burger king than to come here again . would t even buy a glass of water from here SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN !!!

We had the worst experience ever at La Campaña and we have been loyal customers for years!!! We ordered two menudo out of five plates, and menudo was extremely salty and the other plate were good. Our waitress was kind and took the plates back and even offered the menus to order other plates. Later we were informed that the owner told them we could not order anything else even though we were willing to pay for the 2 menudos and the new orders....so basically we got kicked out and 2 people in our party didn't even eat. The explanation was because we would make everything salty and that's why we couldn't order. The best part is that the owner never even had the nerve to talk to us or show her face. Needless to say we are never going back!!!

I love La Campana! The flat enchiladas are definitely the way to go-cheese or beef and then 2 fried eggs on top. I don't know how they do it but the eggs are always perfect and pretty! Everything is great-I love the chile relleno burrito also. Great hot sauce, great guacamole (although a small order is comical-it's a serving about the size of a shot glass, maybe less) It is authentic Mexican food. Not Tex-Mex crap that's popping up on menus everywhere.

Awesome breakfast. Had the huevos rancheros and barbacoa and it was some of the best food ive tasted!! Will be back if im ever in town again.

I was just reading the other reviews. Here is my two cents worth. I have eaten at every mexican restaurant in Amarillo. There are three that I regularly recommend to friends and visitors. Of the three, La Campaña is my personal favorite. The breakfast dish I like the most is their flat enchiladas with two eggs on top. Along with the best salsa in town and hot chips, they can't be beaten. The really good news is I live on their side of town. Enjoy!!!

I hate that there are haters of La Campana, but it's understandable that out-of-towners wouldn't appreciate this hole in the wall the way the rest of us do. The homemade salsa is not for the faint of heart, but there is plenty on the menu for all tastes. Some of the staff members don't speak English well or at all, so be prepared to be patient when ordering. This is especially true if you call in an order. The atmosphere is a bit sterile, but the owners have made a lot of improvements over the years and who cares when the food is delicious? If you go during lunch, expect to have a wait and expect that wait to take place standing in front of the door. The restaurant is tiny and doesn't have a real waiting area.

Visiting my home town and I wanted a good Mexican breakfast, so my sister brought me here. I had the Chuleta plate & she had the Carne Guisada plate. Both were very delicious! Reminded me of my momma's cooking. The salsa was just like my mother in laws! I'm definitely returning the next time I'm visiting!

What a rip off!!!! I recently ate here for lunch and was impressed by the low prices and the authenticity of the food. UNTIL I went to pay for my meal. I ordered combination chicken/beef fajitas which were listed on the menu for $8.50. However, when the waitress rang me up she told me that my total was over $16.00!! I asked her why it so much and she told me that it cost extra because I had the combination instead of just one meat. I wish she would have told me about that when I ordered! " By the way if you order it this way it will cost double!" I don't plan to go back here anytime soon. I'm very dissapointed.

Best Mexican food in town! The salsa is always fresh and has the perfect balance of flavor and heat. The red sauce is home made, fresh and I have been known to order a small bowl of it as a dip for everything! Love the migas and order lettuce and tomatoes to replace the potatoes although the potatoes are great! I do not recall anything but delicious food!

Food is always good everytime I go. Great service makes you feel welcomed. Good prices

We love coming to La Campana when we are in town. It is a diamond in the rough. The food is great and this is frequented by locals as a favorite place to get Mexican food. Food comes quickly and hot.

This place has *the* best cheese enchiladas I've ever had in my life. They actually have flavor and are not just a bunch of melted cheese - think of it as a bunch of melted cheese, plus an extra helping of fucking awesome! The beans and rice are really good, too. Aside from the enchiladas, the rest of the food was above average. I got the "sample" platter (forgot the official name of it,) and it came with an enchilada, chile relleno, a taco and I think something else. It was all good, but that enchilada was so mind-bendingly good that I never order anything else. Their house salsa is the best I've ever had (and I consider myself a hard-to-please salsa connoisseur) - hot as fuck and super delicious. You can bring in your own container and they only charge you $1.99 per 8 oz.'s, so you can take home the transcendental magic. The best thing is, this place is CHEAP, especially if you get the specials - they're $4.50 (Wednesday is enchilada day, baby!) The rest of the meals are right around $6.50, which is pretty good, considering it's enough food to make you want to fall asleep no matter what time of day it is. All in all, I think this is the only restaurant I'm going to miss when I leave Amarillo (now that the Boondocks sucks.) Come, eat, nap. PS - I don't know who said they accept credit cards - there's a sign on the front door saying they don't. Maybe this is a recent change, but make sure to bring cash.

Decided after reading the good and mediocre reviews that it was time to see for myself how this place was. First impression was the place could be cleaner and have better service. I did wipe the table off with a hand wipe after sitting down. With the delivery of the chips and salsa, things began to change. Salsa was good, somewhat hotter and taster than most. The food was also good, but as with most Tex-Mex places basically average. Because of the location, comfort of the place and service, is not a place I would advise roadside travelers to stop for a one time meal, but for locals a good option to put in their Tex-Mex rotation.

Yikes! After many great experiences at La Campana, today we had a misstep. Food was delicious, as usual. We ordered our meal and drinks, but the waitress never brought the drinks. She dropped off our order super fast, and we assumed she went off to get our drinks- nope! She never came back to check on us the entire time we ate, yet checked on tables across from us several times. Why didn't we yell for her? We really wanted to see how long it would take her to come back. I would have never guessed that she wouldn't come back at all. When we went to pay, she started ringing up our drinks- I told her she never brought our drinks and she asked "do you want them now?" Of course we don't! Anyway if I could have I would have tipped the cook but not her. Waitressing is not for those with short-term memories. But the food (especially the hot sauce and guacamole) was delicious today. BTW, still CASH ONLY!
