Our story

One grill. One chef. No shortcuts.

El camino means "the road." Ours leads to a wooden kitchen in the Seaway Mall parking lot, strung with lights and run by Chef Emerson.

Everything starts on the flat-top: steak, chorizo, barbacoa, peppers and onions, cooked when you order and not a minute before. People drive in from St. Catharines and across Niagara for it.

Made to orderNothing waits under a heat lamp.

Fresh from the flat-top

Real food. Real portions. Made every day in Welland.

Tap any photo to zoom in. Every plate is built hot to order on Chef Emerson's grill.
