“ Amigos is one of my favorite restaurants to eat at in town! Not only is the food delicious, but the service is top tier. Samantha was attentive to our needs, timely with our order, & super friendly! Can’t say enough good things about my experience, 10/10! ”
“ We have eaten in and do takeout. With our schedule lately, it has been all takeout. The times we have had dinner there we had a great experience. The staff is friendly and a big bowl of fresh tortilla chips is great. When I see the food on a plate, it reminds me of when a friend's mother would serve us dinner, not like a Happy Meal with paper everywhere. Take-home reminds me of my friend's mother again. My lunch bucket would have a PBJ or a bologna sandwich that I had tossed together before running out the door. He would pull out such aromatic food from his lunchbox his mom had packed, which I knew from personal experience was delicious. Everyone knows that nothing is better than a homecooked meal but Amigo sure comes close. I seldom choose what we take home, I let my wife surprise me. Most of the meals are in aluminum pans. If we get home after it cools off, we can put the meals in the oven under low heat while we prep the dinner table. We always put the food on real dinner plates so it looks like we made it ourselves. There is a fast-food restaurant just across the street. A glance at the menu may give you the impression that you could save money. Compare what you get to what Amigo offers. You'll find that the only thing you save is time. That is, only if there isn't a long line. My wife and I are usually the only ones at dinner. We always buy more than enough "just in case" but in reality, it is so we will have leftovers. When we factor in 4 to 6 meals for what we spent (for just the two of us) it is stiff competition for their competitor. Helpful hint: You can order ahead for takeout. They are pretty good about meeting the target time. I have worked in restaurants and I would encourage you to order no more than half an hour before. What sometimes happens is that the cook (or chef) will start unfilled orders if there is a lull, especially when they know they will be covered up very soon. One last thing I want to point out is that the competitor only offers two major menu choices, hard or soft. Everything is based on the same kettle of meat (meatless items excluded of course) Just the wrapping and the toppings vary. Amigo makes each item on their menu to individual specifications. Rats, now I am craving Mexican food! If you like Mexican food, you should try it. If you are Mexican, you won't think it is just like Mom's, but you've had worse, much worse! ”
“ Best Mexican food in town. Friendly staff, margaritas were on point and happy hour! Vaca Flaca Quesadilla was cooked to perfection, fresh lettuce and pico (w a kick!). A must. ”
“ Sebastian goes above and beyond and it is very appreciated! They have nailed the perfect vegetarian bowl for me and I get it two to three times a week. Thank you all so much for what you do, you're an amazing crew! ”
“ Awesome service and awesome food. Went during lunch time. Pretty decent prices also. Will definitely return!!! ”
“ I've always enjoyed coming here. The half order of the al pastor nachos is a perfect lunch! I love the fluffy tortillas chips they use ”
“ I had an amazing dining experience at Amigos, thanks to Quint! From the moment we sat down, Quint was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. He knew the menu inside out and recommended some of the best dishes. His timing was perfect—our drinks were always filled, and he made sure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. The food was delicious, but Quint’s service really made the night special. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. If you’re dining at Amigos, ask for Quint—you won’t be disappointed!!! ”
“ My husband and I are visiting from Virginia. We walked in at 8:30 and asked what time the restaurant closes. There were 3 employees at the front and they immediately greeted us and said they would be open as long as we were there. Every person we interacted with was wonderful and made us feel welcome. I don't remember the last time we had that happen. The warm, fresh chips and salsa were so good. Our entrees were fast, hot, large portions, and tasted great; the service was excellent. A wonderful experience. ”
