On a spring evening, we needed a place for dinner near UMass. Since this had a good rating and an interesting menu, we ventured in. The owner ended up being our server and was just lovely -- We had Ensalada de temporada con Frutos Rojos, Cochinita Pibil al Plato, Pastel de Choco, and maduros. The owner asked if I wanted salsas -- and of course I said yes! The salsa macho was delicious --'smoky' and rich while the picante one was great on the pastel de choco. My husband though was truly blown away by the maduros which tasted like ones he had in childhood in PR (the best he's had in forever). When we left, we told the owner how much we enjoyed the meal, and he really did seem touched. Then when we told our son about the place, he was stoked and said he cannot wait to visit. Great find! read more

My wife and I dined at 3 Amigos on our way home from shopping add Yankee Candle factory store. The food was good, the weight staff were helpful and the decor was pleasant and inviting. My wife and I both ordered a taco medley. We were delighted with our meals. read more

We have gone to 3 Amigos many times. For lunch, dinners, as well as brunch. There has not been once that everything we had was not amazing! The service was great, very friendly staff, and give you the true feeling that you are being well taken care of by friends. The place is cozy, not huge, and not echoey (which I am sensitive to) Their drinks and cocktails are delicious. The food variety of latin American flavors make you want to go back and try everything! This week, we even catered from them for our company staff appreciation party, and the staff could not stop eating they loved it so much. We had order a nice variety, from the 3 regions they feature, as well as at the end some desserts.... read more

We greatly enjoyed this place! Delicious drinks and wonderful entrees. The service is friendly and attentive without being too busy. Highly recommended. I look forward to my next visit. read more

They have a Sunday brunch menu (different from the regular menu), with brunchy options that sound delicious, but when you're hankering' for tacos, nothing else will do. Still, watching other plates come out of the kitchen, you can't go wrong. I love the fish taco and bc I like it spicy, I order extra sauce. The slightly sweet coleslaw is a lovely balance to the heat. Our table also ordered shrimp tacos, (same sauce) and equally delightful. The asparagus taco, was good, but not on par with the seafood. The chips and guac were great. So good, my 98 yo neighbor, who we brought with us this trip, wanted to take it home. I thought she wanted the leftovers - as there was plenty - but she wanted her own order, which I only discovered after I paid. They gave it to her. That's the caliber of kind and lovely people the owners are. They know I'm there regularly and said we've got this. Incredible. read more

3 Amigos feels like an event space, where each day the dining tables are cleaned, the space is swept and wiped, the bar is lit with the music, and the kitchen is clean and cooking. When I arrived on the odd day they open early for lunch--not breakfast!--I was treated to a warmth and attention that I found personal. 3 Amigos has a robust menu, so consider truly interesting meal ideas for those of you familiar with the meals represented. Since I am familiar with Latin food, I was able to see Chilean options in a menu for the first time I can recall, alongside Puerto Rican and Mexican dishes. Here is why to pay attention: With just a side of their beans and rice, you start at an appetizing meal as the most humble of menu options with a connection to their story. Turn to their featured entrees and see seafood, steak, and chicken if you want seasonings and herbs to match. The kind of intentionality I found in their choices and cuisine left me feeling their consideration would continue to their liquor, dessert, and apertifs. No, I wasn't about to enjoy Churro Ice Cream, despite the enticing dessert, yet in an evening I bet I could have more advisement on what would fit my meal. Even other details of my full experience might have staff who can help guide and teach beyond how they came to the Mill District to serve this international and tantalizing connection. Even my eyes feasted upon the art and artifacts brought to 3 Amigos. This restaurant left me feeling like they have a long night life, with music and conversation, and a quiet morning on early lunch days. From what I gather, they have brunch on weekends. Take a look at their hours to see 3 Amigos is open, I would not want you to taste my first disappointment in timing! read more

3 Amigos - Nacho Appetizer Plate--more than enough for a single person, and the people beside me saw this and each got one themselves! - Latin American Near Me - Amherst, Massachusetts

The decor of this relatively new space is quite nice, with a modern design of wood shiplap, concrete tables, and Mexican themed artwork scattered throughout. Unfortunately, the food was overall disappointing. I wanted an entree for lunch, but they don't offer them until 4:00pm. Oh well. So I tried the 3-taco platter...1) their pastor taco had barely any filling, 2) the carne asada was decent (though the meat was well done), and 3) the birria taco with consommé was by far the most flavorful. The tacos were all single corn tortillas and easily fell apart. Ironically, I didn't order the birria, I ordered the fluffy taco but they brought me the wrong one. Perhaps a fortuitous mistake. The side of rice and beans was fine, but it was served room temperature. I'm used to most Mexican restaurants serving food on hot plates. The a la diabla burger sounded delicious, but the thin burger patty was overcooked and dry (despite ordering medium rare, it was well done) and it was missing the bacon included in the description. That was particularly annoying since they charged extra for cheese. It also is served a la carte...no fries, chips, tostones...nada. In this rural part of Massachusetts, this may be a welcome addition to the food scene, but those accustomed to delicious, authentic, flavorful Mexican food will likely be let down. read more

Saturday night, we went to Tres Amigos in Amherst. And it was just as good as the first. Though they didn't make shrimp tacos on the Valentine's Day special menu, we still loved what we ate. A delicious service and a fried pork chop and an amazing ceviche.. But what really stole the show were the beans!!!! They were fantastic. Not refried but whole beans in a great sauce with chunks of delicious meat. Can't wait for our third visit. Better yet, let's get to spring so they can bring their mobile truck parked next to CVS on King St. The ropa vieja was out of this world. Friendly service, good libations, and a room you can actually have a conversation without screaming. Yum read more

Had brunch here for the first time recently. The decor was nice and welcoming. Our waiter was attentive and got our orders correct. My breakfast with eggs and chorizo was phenomenal! My husband got a 3 taco plate and really enjoyed them all. Can't wait to go back again soon. read more

Food and drink were authentic and delicious! Staff was kind. Atmosphere was fun and comfortable. Good for families and couples.

We really enjoyed our visit. From the appetizers to the meal, the service and the ambience. Everything was tasty and we'd definitely visit again if in the area. The guacamole was fresh, and the house sauces complemented everything very well. Love the fusion of different Latino cuisine. The white rice with the Cochinita Pibil al Plato was perfect! read more

This place is awesome. The staff is so friendly, and the food is amazing. It's become our go-to weekend breakfast place. My wife and I happen to both be vegetarian, and they are more than accommodating here. I got the sopes (not listed on the menu as vegetarian on the menu) and they hooked me up. SO GOOD. The menu is varied -- they have both Latin American and America (US) style options. I've seen lots of kids here chomping away, good spot for families Come support this place, you won't regret it. read more

3 Amigos - Cool vibes. Frida gazes down upon us beneficently. - Latin American Near Me - Amherst, Massachusetts

Got the Pal Campo and it was tasty! Good flavors for all the sides too. I did find the meat itself wasn't very moist, which is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. The prices are also really high. I got one of the cheapest items on the menu and it still ran me $20. Would be more willing to return if the prices weren't so high read more

It is time for you to have some FOMO. The first Monday in July has passed. You have three more opportunities to try the special Puerto Rican menu at 3 Amigos. Personally, I am hoping that some of the options become permanent menu features. First, I loved the Queso Frito. Generous chunks of fried cheese in a tangy sauce. This is poutine's sweet and tangy cousin (don't come for me Canadians...I said cousin). We also had the El Surtido plate...the alcupurria was crispy on the outside, tasty on the inside. The tostones had an extra layer of flavor with little flashes of diced garlic. These tostones were the best I've ever had, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. So good! Somehow a pair of pasteles appeared (I've only had them at Christmas) and I was counting my blessings! The pastelillo looked delicious and was instantly inhaled by my not gf companion who made happy noises while gobbling it up. For my main course I had the mofungo relleno with shrimp. What an amazing mix of textures, colors and flavors! Please, please, please: add this to the menu permanently. I hope I can make it to one more Monday and try out more of the specials. You should try to taste them before they're gone! read more

The food is delicious! We've eaten there on several occasions; the regular menu offers lots of options, is authentic, and doesn't disappoint, and I always look forward to the specials. The portions are good-sized, and the wait staff is very friendly. The dining area is lovely and not loud, so a group can have a conversation. read more

Delicious food. Wonderful tacos. Very helpful staff. Good place to take kids. Delicious pineapple chicken dish.

This place should be full. We went on taco Tuesday and got a variety of tacos. We loved both pork tacos (carnitas and al pastor) the steak one was also good- my only critique is I would have liked more seasoning on the beef. We loved the rice and refried beans and the coconut mojito was so good. We enjoyed the trio of salsas as well- all so fresh and well seasoned. The waiter was super pleasant and the food came quick. The place was cute and I love the mural on the wall. read more

My whole household regularly went for breakfast/brunch to Cisco's Cafe that used to be in this same location. When they closed we were pleased to hear that the new folks running it were keeping some of the menu and keeping the weekend brunch hours! They have done a beautiful job redecorating the place inside. We have been twice now and the staff and owner have been extremely nice and helpful. They are still getting started and figuring everything out but the food is honestly excellent. Both times we went we got bottomless coffees and delicious Latin breakfast specials. We also tried a few of their mocktails (Spicy Jamaica and mojito), all very good. They are currently BYOB but the owner says they should have a full liquor license in 1-2 months with cocktails, etc. We also tried the Birria tacos and were definitely pleased with those! Excited to go back for chorizo breakfast burritos as grab and go on my way to work some days. (We were apparently too excited to eat the food to remember to take photos of it. Sorry!) read more

Had a delicious meal from 3 amigos. The tostones were perfectly crispy and the carne was tender. The elote was excellent. There were so many options to choose from I'm excited to go back for more read more

Awesome dining experience. I got three taco platter. All the meats, seasoning, and portions were on point. Flavors were the best I have had in Amherst. The owner was our server and was making great suggestions. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area or passing through. As of now, very high potential for taking over El comolitos spot as #1 Latin food in Amherst but I have only had one meal here and many over there. Only criticism would be the tortilla wasn't strong enough on one of my tacos. 5 stars all the way. Looking forward to trying more dishes. read more

This restaurant is the absolute best restaurant I have been to. The food is #1! Service is #1 atmosphere is #1. I frequent MANY places and if you follow my reviews you all know I am blatantly honest about my experiences whether it is a restaurant or any other establishment and I will tell you right now good people....don't drive by 3 Amigos and be sorry you went to wrong restaurant..... 5 STARS HERE!!! read more

Excellent tacos! Fresh squeezed orange juice! A real treat. My guy said they were the best shrimp tacos he ever had. Very pleasant service once it started after a sightly too long wait. I wish they had more gluten-free options for their dinners - if they would just cook the food in a pan instead of a deep fryer for those of us who can't eat gluten.... read more

The food is solid, nice staff, comfortable seating, and a nice location. No complaints.

Had a delicious dinner at 3 Amigos last weekend! I had two tacos and the arroz amposteado and my husband had the chile in nogada, which was a stuffed poblano smothered in a well-spiced cream sauce. We finished the meal with a tres leches cake that disappeared quickly! Service was friendly and attentive, and the space was much the same from when it was Cisco's. I look forward to trying more of the menu! read more

3 amigos was fine, but nothing special. I would consider moving the rating closer to a four if it weren't for the prices, which were too high for the portion sizes and quality. It wasn't a bad experience, but I'm not dying to go back. read more

Excellent food (specifically the tacos), very fresh ingredients, friendly service and cool interior. Will definitely be back!
