Campeche Restaurant - Galena (IL)

4 /5 Korey Wenstrup: We visited during Oktoberfest weekend, so we made a reservation just to be safe. I’m not sure if that’s normally necessary, but I didn’t want to risk it. The morning of, we noticed the weather was perfect and asked to move our reservation outside — they accommodated us with no problem. They started us off with chips and pico de gallo. I asked for extra salsa roja and salsa verde. The pico had a nice kick, the roja had a smoky flavor, and the verde was more on the roasted side. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a big fan of the verde, which was a bummer since it’s usually my favorite. The chunky guac, though, was a solid 10/10. The margarita flights were 30% off, so that was an easy choice. Tons of flavor options to pick from, which was fun. For my main, I went with the Suizo burrito topped with melted Chihuahua cheese. I didn’t love it — maybe I’m spoiled living in the Quad Cities where we’ve got incredible Mexican spots on every corner. Something about it just felt a little off. To top it off, we were constantly swatting away flies at our table, which didn’t help. Still, the service was great — our server was super friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a good dinner, and I’d definitely go back… just to try something different next time.

5 /5 Steve Morris: While wondering around Galena and taking un the sites, we felt our tummies grumble and stumbled upon this Mexican restaurant. I ordered one of my favorite Mexican dishes, a chimichunga, and was not disappointed! Very good especially covered with the white cheese. My wife got the taco meal and was also very pleased with the meal. Good portion sizes and very flavorful. Definitely would return!

5 /5 Eddie Bishop: I dare you to find better Mexican food within a 20 mile radius of Galena, IL. Everything was fantastic. Generous portions as well. The margs were about double the size I was expecting. Great atmosphere and service as well. This place was lovely

5 /5 Becky Kammes: Our experience at Campeche Restaurant was nothing short of incredible! My husband and I went with friends and we chose to sit outside in their outdoor heated igloo, which made for an abundantly enjoyable experience. Joe was our server and he was exceptionally personable, fun, attentive, & professional. He fist-bumped us all goodbye and we made sure to let him know how much he resembled Sam Elliot! I had a Fresca Margarita and the fresh sliced cucumbers made the most idyllic touch! We can’t wait to go back!

5 /5 Chris Kraszewski: The margarita flight was my favorite. Get the personal size. You’ll get to taste four flavors and if you want more over another flight. The staff was accommodating for a large group and the service was good. One server for the whole upstairs patio with two large groups and three small tables. She did excellent and other staff helped bring up food and drinks. Each entree was good and large portions. Could have ordered more family style with a few entrees so not to waste the food. With the reservation no wait.
