El Amigo Mexican Restaurant

Great family owned restaurant that has been there for over 40 years. Miguel knows every customer's name and makes you feel at home. Love the guac and chips. They have gluten free options too.

Pretty decent for the price. Would come back but maybe getting something different - I got the steak fajita burrito but thought it was light on the meat.

There were five of us and everyone was either upcharged, got something they didn’t order, or both. Here is the list…
-Three ordered items with green chili. The menu said it was included or you could upgrade to pork green chili for an additional $1.99. The server upcharged all of us without asking.
—Birria tacos were served cold. Not even room temp.
—Ordered chicken chimichanga. Got a bean and chicken burrito.
—BE WARNED: Their guacamole and chips were listed as “market price.” Have you ever heard of that for chips and guac??? It was $15! That’s insane.
—Beer ordered. Different one delivered.
—Salt added to a “no salt” margarita.
Most of these are small issues by themselves but they all added up to a totally unenjoyable meal. Especially when we waited about 45 minutes for the food after ordering. Admittedly, the food was decent but it doesn’t add up to how bad the overall meal was. And— it really upsets me when people overcharge you for something you didn’t ask for. That’s just cheating you!!

Horrible..

I really like this place. I've been going there every few months for years. The atmosphere average in construction but the super friendly service makes it seem a lot warmer and comfortable. The folks there genuinely want you to have a good meal. There are often large groups and they are good at handling it. It's not a huge dining area.

The food is where this place shines. Most of the menu is not monster portions but instead a more manageable serving emphasizing quality. Try just about anything on the menu and I think you'll like it a lot. You're brave if you order it hot, I go for medium or mild in most cases. I really like the vegetarian green chili sauce.

I give this place my highest recommendation.

We love this place,, Very Good Mexican food,,FRESH...with all the specials all week😀, IT IS AFFORDABLE, Thank you Miguel for Always being such a great host, We will see you soon!! SALUDE :)

Minus 1 star because the portion sizes are kind of small.

Food: started with chips and salsa (free). Best salsa ever!!! Guacamole and fried chips were so yummy and would recommend as an appetizer. Fajitas were hot with a good variety of vegetables. Chef made a fresh crème sauce for one of our orders (even though it was not on the menu). Kids menu had plenty of options and was only $6. Good vegetarian options also.

**This place is exactly what I want from my local Mexican restaurant.**

Service: refilled drinks in a timely manner. Very nice guy serving us.

Atmosphere: kind of an older establishment. Looked like traditional American- Mexican restaurant decor. Combo of cushioned booths and tables. Music was a reasonable volume (so we could actually talk without having to yell). Wahoo!! AC works well so everyone was a comfortable temperature.

Food sucked, Queso tasted like someone microwaved a bag of shredded cheese. Burrito tasted like canned meat. People were nice.

Look I smashed the tacos, those were good. This is the most bottom tier queso and chips I've ever had. Chunky cheese dip, no flavor, oversized "chips" with LESS flavor. I should not have ordered.

They seriously make some great food in this joint. My fiancé and I catch ourselves here every Tuesday for taco Tuesdays. It’s authentic and you can tell the owner really cares about the service and the vibe. Birria and pastor tacos are 10/10
