“great food and drinks! we went out for my birthday dinner. we had the tropical Margherita and frozen blood orange swirl, and they were the best drinks we've ever had at a restaurant. the Philly burrito and the spicy burrito were phenomenal, and the churros were so good I will ask for those over a birthday cake any day. absolutely 100% recommend and we will definitely be back.“

“Our server Chris went above and beyond! The whole staff is wonderful it'd be hard to write everyone's names down. But the food is absolutely fantastic and such a welcomed edition to Chattanooga. Offering a unique and vibrant menu. The cocktails are delicious and innovative and the bar boasts a large variety of mezcal and other agave spirits.

Parking: The parking lot dedicated to the building can fill up fast, but if you go around to the Food City parking lot there is a walkway between the fence.“

“Whenever it’s Monday I get bummed out because the Taqueria on Rossville is closed. And then I remember Taqueria at the Plaza! I cannot got enough of this amazing food. Born and raised in San Diego CA it’s difficult to find authentic Mexican food. Look no further. The breakfast burritos are on point, as are all their staples from the traditional lunch menu. Everything odd always fresh and the service is quick and friendly.“

“After a really disappointing experience at Happy Hemp nearby—where employee (maybe manager) whom I think was named Brian was clearly intoxicated and behaving inappropriately—I stopped into Los 3 Amigos to regroup. What a difference! The staff here was welcoming, the food was delicious, and the margarita was just what I needed. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and a comfortable, friendly vibe. Definitely worth the stop!“

“Always amazing serve and variety of food selection. El Pastor tacos were very authentic. Tony is amazing along with his staff. Great drinks! Clean and able to accommodate our party of twenty inside. Spacious and outside deck is wonderful in the warmer months. We visited in November 2024. So good!!“

“Amazing tacos!! Everything on the menu is good overall!!“

“Hands down the most fantastic meal I have had ALL YEAR; how did I not know about this gem before?! Come for the pupusas- stay for the world’s most amazing guacamole, some magical mango hot sauce, empanadas, and the PACOS!!!! Five star food, and service. Seriously, come eat, ASAP. Tell your friends.“

“awesome tacos love the Lengua tacos so tender“

“had the Carne Asada taco with limes and green sauce. Out of this world. Cooked to order. Could eat my weight in them.“

“La mejor comida y los mejores tamales“

“The quesabirrias: crispy, cheese-packed tortillas slow-cooked beef birria, with a side of consommé that deserves its own award. Each bite is a glorious mess of melty cheese and bold spice, and yes, you will end up dipping everything on your plate into that broth. The beans were not the usual mashed pintos. They had a bold flavor that made us bag some extra up to go! Also, their chips and salsa are to die for. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous. 5/5 stars – Already planning my next trip back.“

“I finally made a lunch stop today and I’m so glad I did! The tacos were awesome and the price was incredibly fair at $2 per taco (tax included). I loved them, my dog was incredibly jealous!“

“Hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant in Chattanooga. Never disappoints! Can’t go wrong with the enchiladas verdes. Ask for Carlos and order a fiestarona with a large cheese dip.“

“Very authentic and everything is fresh and made daily and to order. The salsa's were amazing and went well with the tacos. Tortillas are hand pressed for each order. Highly recommend anyone that wants real Mexican food to give it a try.“

“Real Mexican food! We went to the Latin Festival today at Miller Park and tried their elote in a cup and the mangonada, wow all the flavors were absolutely amazing and delicious! Can’t wait to go to the restaurant and try more things! 10/10“

“Me gustaría trabajar en esa taqueria“

“WOW! Amazing in all aspects! The quality and authenticity of the food is superb! Starting with the salsa... perfect heat, flavor, and consistency. Margarita flight was exquisite- definitely a must. I will be traveling back to Chattanooga to experience this place again...very soon! This is on my top three restaurants of all time.“

“Prices are very decent for the serving and the service is quick and on point. In and out in just minutes. I'll be back for sure.“

“I ❤️ their food! It’s healthy and sooo good!“

“Love their food an happy hour Margiritas.“

“Amigos will always be a family fav for us! So many amazing things that we love to order off their menu! They have many options to choose from.

Parking: There’s more than enough parking! Out of all the times my family & I have ever went, there’s always been a TON of open spaces for parking

Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of high chairs/booster seats for your little one. Unless they’ve recently changed/updated their menu, they also have a section just for the kiddos and I believe it’s located on the very back.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility leading up to their entrance.“

“Service and food was legit“

“I've had 423 Taco a few times but recently, I had the birria tacos and let me tell you - these were incredible! They are loaded with flavor and plenty of onions and cilantro on top to give that added punch! I also enjoyed the rice and corn as both were additionally high on the flavor profile. There is plenty of food and the price is reasonable for the amount of food you receive. I hadn't tried the birria tacos previously, but I can assure you, this will be my staple for a hearty lunch whenever I'm craving Mexican food in the future. I definitely recommend giving them a try!“

“This restaurant was a perfect pick!!!!Eating here is one of the best decisions me and my family have made when dining out. The moment we walked in we were immediately treated like family members or regular customers. The staff were friendly, professional and kept smiles on their faces. Normally this never happens or it's temporary and ends once you place your order, but not with these wonderful people. Upon ordering we were unable to decide what to choose due to the wide array of visually appealing options. We eventually picked a few dishes to take home and then the food to eat at Taqueria y Fonda la Bonita. I was prepared to pay a pretty penny for good food but that wasn't the case. Our total was way less then we expected and they insisted on making the take home orders when we were about to leave (a 15 minute heads up is all they wanted from us). We loved the food presentation and the attentiveness of the employees, but we quickly became infatuated with how good the food actually was. For the first time in what seems like forever, no one touched their phones or said a word☺️. My kids literally cleaned their plates and begged to come back tomorrow. Be sure to put this business on your list of restaurants to visit.“

“I came to Mexiville, and got seated by Martin Sanchez who generally asked me what I would want to drink I asked for a Mexican soda called Jarrito with the flavor of mango. After looking thru the menu I couldn’t find something that caught my eye so, when Martin came around and asked if I was ready to order I asked him if he could suggest me a good meal which he told me the flaming cheese that came with a side of rice, steak, chorizo ,grilled onions, and melted mozzarella cheese on top of it. This was one of the best meals I ever had from a Mexican restaurant this is why I give this restaurant 5 stars.“
