Ate here with a party of 5. The waiters kept up with our chips and salsa (their red salsa is so, so good!). We ordered a big dish of their white queso, which is my husband's favorite. The food came out hot and delicious, as always. We ordered 2 chimis, 1 quesadillas, 1 Tito's rice bowl, and one enchilada plate. All were very satisfied when we left. I love the colorful decor along with their colorful tables and chairs. Fantastic experience! read more

THE CHURRO ICE CREAM IS GAS literally the main reason I go here. The churro is filled with caramel and is a 10/10

All the food is bland and almost always cooked wrong and with no seasoning. This is genuinely the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. WHITE PEOPLE MEXICAN FOOD. If you're in Texarkana and want Mexican food go to Loca Luna it's wayyyy better read more

Tacos were flavorless would appreciate better seasoning and better tortillas ,charro beans were swimming on water with no flavor at all hope to visit again and give them another chance love the chairs and tables read more

See all

I feel bad writing this review because the owners are such nice people. Went with my mom about a week ago. The server was wonderful; very sweet and attentive. The food, however....just not good at all. My mom's chicken nachos were cold. My enchiladas were just not good and the beans and rice tasted like something out of cans. The chips and salsa were good as usual but both of our orders were just weak and very bland. We did not want to say anything, so we just finished what we could and left. Not sure if we will be back. With Loca Luna within their eyesight they really need to step up their game. read more

I witnessed an employee get SCREAMED AT (which I now know is a manager) in front of everyone in the restaurant because she made a tiny mistake on my order which was no big deal; I actually could have gone without saying anything. This happened about two weeks ago. She actually gave us wonderful service despite obviously having her hands full in an understaffed restaurant on a sunday morning. I returned last night & requested to be sat in her section but unfortunately she wasn't working. Good food, great service, HORRIBLE management. I feel sorry for all the employees working in their establishment under such ridicule. read more

I was in Texarkana for a lunch and I usually do one of the chains because they simply lunch pretty well. This particular office wants to help support the local businesses and suggested amigo Juan. Being the guy who also likes helping local businesses it was a no brainer. Ordering was simple. Called the day before for a catering order. Took my order and said it would be ready around 11:30. Perfect. When I got to the restaurant they weren't quite ready for my order, so I waited maybe 5 additional minutes. But it came out promptly. Now my one beef us normally it's packaged in a bag, box, or similar. They just put the pans of food in my hatch area. Really would have helped to have a box or bag to get it inside instead of making 3 trips. Also lost some of the rice when I had a small accident. Now for the food: This stuff is delicious. Their salsa, white queso, and most importantly the fajita beef and chicken were amazing. Tender. Flavorful. Really really good. So good I almost went back for dinner. So overall for my catering order it was great. Just, help a guy out with a box next time. read more

The chips at the Wake Village location are horrible and made probably last week and refried over and over again! Chips are cheap and super easy to make. Buy corn tortillas and cut into chips- fry in oil for a couple of minutes, salt! The End! Seriously,how is it possible to mess them up??????? DO BETTER! read more

I love their quesadillas and their nachos and the chips and salsa and the queso is very good and the service is very good and the ambience is very good too . read more

Was in Texarkana and amigo Juan looked like a nice place to eat. The atmosphere was very good I felt like I was in mexico. The chairs and tables are very on theme. The chips and salsa where warm and tasty. I ordered the tito's rice bowl with chicken. And it was fresh warm Delicious. In the rice had peas carrots and corn. The chicken was grilled fresh and hot! also the melted cheese was warm and flavorful. Our sever was very nice and friendly. our waiter she was also very nice. the bathrooms are clean and well stocked. Also there is a HUGE party room. overall I would say If I was in the area again I might go again. read more

We recently ate at Amigo Juan in Texarkana. The inside was Colorful and clean. Service was good and the restaurant was quite busy. Chips and salsa were good and our food came out pretty quickly. Wife and daughter had street tacos and I had the chipotle Shrimp dish with onions,peppers and mushrooms. All were very good. We will definitely go back. read more

I've never wanted to come back to a restaurant more! Joseph was so kind we stayed his whole shift! The queso tastes like liquid gold. Thank you joseph for the suggestion. We'll be back as long as joseph alexander etheidge is at work. read more

Visiting a friend in Texarkana for the weekend she took me to this spot. I expected good Tex-Mex and had my expectations met! It was Friday night so and busy. We waited in our car maybe 15 minutes after checking in. Service was quick and attentive. Salsa, chips and white queso could have been my meal as they were so good!!! I ordered the C8 - Cheese enchilada, tamale, tostada, beans and rice meal. After all the chips I was only able to eat the enchilada at the restaurant but take out was yummy the next morning! I loved the art work and neat tables incorporating the art. I'll be back when I'm in Texarkana again! read more

Great local Tex-Mex. you can close your eyes to order and anything you order will be delicious! They offer curbside still which is nice.

Decided to give it a try. Chips were very fresh, salsa was decent. I had the cheese enchiladas they were good. Service was above average great place for lunch. read more

Amigo Juan - a plate of mexican food and drinks - Mexican Near Me - Texarkana, Texas

Whenever in town, we like to eat at Amigo Juan. It has been a favorite of my family's for many years and we look forward to treating ourselves when in the area. Recently, we've had a few bad experiences, all within two months. When my son and I were in town shopping, he took me there for a late lunch. I ordered fajitas. We waited some time for them to be delivered to the table. When our order arrived, I found an extremely long, dark hair woven among the fajitas. The waitress offered to have it remade, but, frankly, at that point I was ill and didn't eat at all. I gave it another try about three weeks later when in town again. I ordered a la carte tacos this time. They were sub-par. I've had better at the drive-thru. I didn't say anything but was thoroughly disappointed. Just this week, thinking that the last two experiences were flukes, I stopped by again. This time, I ordered nachos. They came to the table rather quickly and were stone cold on a stone cold plate. The cheese on top had not been melted in spots. I asked for a take-out box and warmed them up when I got home. It appears that the restaurant has suffered some quality control issues in the kitchen lately. New help? Poorly trained staff? New management? I'm not sure about the cause of inferior food being delivered to the table at Amigo Juan, but I do know the solution for me is not to go back. read more

This is by far the BEST food I've had in Texarkana. We just moved here in July, and just now (Oct) tried this. Fell in love when we walked in. Beautiful handmade from Mexico carved & pained booths, chairs & tables; excellent waiter--super nice to my kid too, but the food! OMG! I had chihuahua shrimp, plus they brought red & green salsa, plus we ordered white quest, all was delicious, more food than we could eat. There was nothing I didn't love about this restaurant! Chips: thin & warm & perfect Salsa: green & red and verrrry good White Queso: warm, creamy & delish Shrimp chihuahua: heaven on a plate! Bean burrito: just like my daughter likes it on Everything! read more

We were driving through Texarkana today and decided to stop for lunch. This place is a little off the "beaten path", and we wouldn't have come this far off the interstate without the Yelp reviews. Food was delicious. Their cheese dip has a bit more spice/peppers than my husband usually likes, and he loved it. (Pleasant surprise haha). Our service was great, prices were really good for the portion sizes. Also, the place was really clean and staff was very attentive to cleaning off tables, etc. which is always a good sign. We really had no complaints at all! We'll definitely swing by again in the future. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town! Live the green sauce. Very good service & excellent fresh food!

Talk about busy place during Saturday night dinner and the plates were coming out hot and ready! Visiting from San Antonio I had to try the street tacos and it lived up to its name, I recommend it. The staff teams up to help each other when the orders get big which in my book get things out faster to the customer, that's a big Kudos in my book. I have no gripes about Amigo Juan this place gets the five stars. A happy customer read more

This food was terrible.. It lacked flavor of any sort.. I found gristle and jello like chicken skin in my burrito. The beans tasted like they had a lot of beef fat in it. And the red salsa tasted like the tomatoes came out of a can. I will never return to this location. read more

I don't know what everyone is complaining about, I've been here 30 times and every time was excellent! The Shrimp Chihuahua is probably the best thing on the menu, but everything I've tried has been good! The salsa is always the perfect consistency and not too spicy, the chips always crisp, and the white queso is so good that my husband and I drove 3 hours just to eat it! It's definitely improved and deserves your business. Will try to go back as often as possible! read more

This will be my favorite Mexican restaurant near where I live. My wife and I had dinner there. We were early so it was not crowded. I had the shrimp and steak skewer. My wife had the shrimp tacos. The food was excellent. The portions were large and we had enough left over to eat another meal the next day. The waiter was attentive and responsive. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This is my favorite Mexican Restaurant. The green salsa is the bomb. The food is always great and you get good portions for a good price. Even the kids chicken strips are awesome. Can't go wrong here. read more

Used these guys for catering to an account, and the food was great, service was timely, accurate, and performed with a smile. I would definitely use them again! read more

Good food and good service, but very loud place. Maybe they could put some sound treatment up to deaden some of the noise.

Love eating here but it's a very texmex place not really authentic, good prices though

Had lunch here with my family yesterday. We had a group over 40. The staff did an excellent job job of taking our orders and not one mess up or mix up any either. The food was absolutely amazing and so were the margaritas. I will for come back the next time I'm in Texarkana! read more

Great food. Huge Portions. Great Service. Slightly above average for prices but worth it. Not average food:)

They have the best white queso and my favorite chimichanga period. Highly recommend especially if you don't want a long wait!

We stopped here on our way back to Texas after having had a mediocre experience at a restaurant down the street the last time we came through. This place was just what the doctor ordered. The salsa, tomatillo salsa, and quest blanco were great. The strawberry punch was also tasty. I enjoyed the taco and tamale. The cheese enchilada could have been better. The charro beans were very good, even above expectations. The service was quick and cheerful. We will definitely return! read more

It has been a while since we have been here. We received a gift certificate so we thought we'd try it out. The food was good. My wife had the trio fajitas and said it was great! Monica waited on us and we had excellent service and smiles. read more

Amazingly good! I have never had a better meal. My family and I were amazed at not only the amount but the taste of the food. The quality of service was beyond perfect. Fantastic experience and the best white queso ever. read more

Love to eat here every time I drive in from Dallas which is usually every weekend. Food is great and staff has been wonderful. My only issue I have had is when I order a cocktail it always has a weird taste to it. I've tried the margaritas and another drink that had the word "Shark" in it, can't remember exactly what it was, but every time I get that nasty taste. That is my only complaint here. read more

Bed service they assume that Hispanic people don't have the money to pay for it and the food is horrible

Tried this place for the first time today. Won't be back. It was gross and over priced. I ordered 2 soft tacos. How the hell do you make 2 soft tacos taste literally like dirt? Couldn't even eat it. I wasn't aware how much I was charged till I looked at my receipt when I left. The lunch 2 soft tacos were supposed to be 6 and some change and got charged almost 9. The chips and salsa was disgusting tasted old af. And i for the life of me wouldn't recommend that green sauce. I took one bit of that and had to chug my water to get the taste out of my mouth. I could of went to taco bell and had a better meal than this place. And another thing, it took literally 2 minutes from the time we ordered to getting our food? That's not normal. Had to be sitting out because it sure tasted like it. I think the only almost redeeming part was our waitress the 3 times we saw her was nice. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. read more

Everything was great! We had good drinks, good food, and a great waitress, Brittany, who was very attentive to our needs without us asking!

Just left this restaurant, the food and drinks were good. But the server on the other hand needs to work on his people skills. They brought out our food and he gave a few of us the wrong plate. No big deal we just passed the food to the right person but when he noticed us doing that he looked at us and said "Oh that happened because you all look the same" We are Hispanic by the way, my boyfriend asked him "What is that supposed to mean?" But he didn't answer and just walked away. Then maybe two minutes later he handed us our tab didn't ask how we were splitting it,there were five of us at the table. At no point did we say we wanted the tab, he then completely ignored us never came back to ask if we wanted refills or if we needed or wanted anything else. My boyfriend had to get up and go to a drink station and serve himself a cup of water! We went to this place because of the great reviews on here and were really surprised to be treated the way we did. His comment of us all looking the same was uncalled for and racist. I don't know what his problem was with us but he's lucky our parents raised us to be the bigger person in situations like this. It's just sad that there are still some people who think like him. We will never visit this restaurant again and hope none else gets treated the way we did. read more

Our first time here. The service was awesome, and the decor is really cool! The food is good, not great, it could use a bit more spice. The salsa isn't great, but the white and yellow queso were both pretty good. The margaritas are the best I've had in Texarkana in a long time. My husband had the House, and I had the frozen swirl, and they were delicious. We would definitely return, even if only for the drinks and great service. :) read more

The reviews were too kind. The Enchilads, and tortilla soup was just gross! The red salsa isn't bad but the green sauce tastes like cucumbers and the queso was below average. The chips are good. The wait staff was excellent and the decor is festive and high quality. Unfortunately the food is terrible. read more
