Camilo's California Bistro

Pleasant and friendly neighborhood bistro and bakery.

Popular Food: Camilo's Omelette (tomatoes, mushrooms, caramelized onions and fresh basil); Santa Fe Chicken Salad (grilled chicken, lettuce, avocado, black beans, tomatoes, peppers, pasilla chiles and cilantro cream dressing); cranberry scones that disappear early in the mornings.

Unique Food: Enchiladas de papa con huevos -- an amazing combination of Mexican and Provençal cuisine; weekend specials (frittatas, eggs Benedict and eggs Florentine); Amelia's Apple pastry.

Drinks: Good strong coffee, fresh-squeezed juices.

Seating: Abundant seating in two sizeable rooms; a good-sized, but intimate booth and counter side and a light and airy "tearoom" side that caters to larger parties and family meals.

Ambience: Friendly, efficient service with a distinct family-run energy. Food and service are flawless and have quickly established Camilo's as "the place to be" in downtown Eagle Rock.

Parking: Free parking on Colorado, metered street parking on side streets, metered city lots off of Caspar Avenue, and small free lot behind restaurant.
