I love this place! I always get enchiladas with queso on top. They have yummy white queso, not that nasty yellow queso. I also had a frozen mango margarita....delicious! read more

Absolutely my favorite Mexican restaurant in Dallas!! Been a regular for years. The best queso I've ever had!!! Also love the enchiladas covered in mole, shrimp nachos, brisket tacos, and breakfast burrito. Great service every time. read more

Sadly, I would not recommend this place to anyone. If you want the details, keep reading... Party of 4 people. We ordered queso blanco for an appetizer. It had nice flavor but was extremely thick and just warm. I ordered a margarita on the rocks, which was fine, no complaints. I also got cheese enchiladas topped with mixed fajita meat. The beef was better than the chicken, for sure. I couldn't even swallow the chicken I tasted. It had a strong flavor to it, as if it was made the day before and reheated. Barely any sauce at all on the enchiladas, which made them dry. The rice was fine and the beans were plain ol' beans, nothing special what so ever. Another person in our party had a burger. He said it was "edible" and the other two had combo fajitas. They didn't eat their chicken either. They serve store bought tortillas, I asked. If you go here, honestly, all I would recommend is their rita, chips & salsa, & queso (make sure it's hot) I'm sorry, Amigos. I really wanted to like you. read more

I told Jeff H that I wanted dining al fresco since the weather is sooo nice today (84 degrees in sept?! woah~) He suggested this since it's pretty much halfway from both of our offices. I perused the menu online before heading over and decided on the tilapia taco. I was kinda worried that it was singular and not plural tacos, but Jeff pointed out that it said "grande" Anyway, the chips and salsa are fine. They also give you a little tostada thing to start with. When we got our actual meals, I was surprised to get a wrap or a burrito. what? taco?? Anyway, it also came with beans and rice...blandblandbland. The burrito thing had a good amount of fish and lettuce, tomato, onion, but no taste at all. It had some kind of mango sauce in there but it didn't do anything for me. It needed like limes or something spicy. Anyway, cute patio, lots of plants, friendly wait staff, but food was bleh. read more

I had lunch here with some co-workers. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the food, BUT the service was very good and it was cheap ($7 w/ tip). Chips & Salsa - Salsa was okay, but the chips tasted stale. Amuse bouche - Consisted of a large corn chip topped with beans, cheese, sour cream and shredded lettuce. It was probably the best part of my meal (not that it was phenomenal or anything). Sour cream enchiladas - Chicken had a mushy yet chewy texture (I had the distinct feeling that it was microwaved because it was steaming hot while the rest of my dish wasn't). Also the sauce was a bit too thick. Mexican rice - Perhaps the worst I've had anywhere. Tasted like bland boiled uncle bens with frozen veggies. Pinto beans - good, no complaints here. read more

As culinary brunch formulas go, quality tends to decline exponentially as value increases - like the left side of an inverted bell curve. Amigo's is a glaring exception. My wife's $9.99 fajitas were the best she has ever tasted ... and she's picky. With four tortillas stuffed, there was still plenty of beef left on the platter, and this was well prepared quality skirt. The platter arrives with the usual accompaniments including guacamole at no extra charge. My Bob's Enchiladas ($7.99) were also great. Two over-easy eggs lazing over two chicken enchilada's that were swimming in this insane tasting chipotle (cream?) sauce - yes insane I tell you, insane. Came with beans and rice. I requested borracho beans - you should too. The chips are crisp, warm and tasty. The red salsa is worthy of immense praise and accolades. As cheap storefront Tex-Mex spots go, this is as good as it gets. read more

Originally I was going to give them 4 stars which in my opinion, is still really good, but i got 25% off for checking in here with Yelp so one more star for that! The deal says 25% off for up to two people per check-in per table, but our waiter gave us 25% for our table of 3 (don't worry, we tipped on the full amount before discount). My favorite thing here to get is the Brisket Enchilladas. It comes with 4 mashed potato stuffed enchiladas with brisket, onions, and mushrooms on top with this delicious poblano cream sauce. The Parrillada is also a great one to share with 2 or 4 people. It's basically like fajitas with a large assortment of meats. If you order anything with shrimp, you wont be disappointed because they use large shrimp that are grilled to perfection. With that said, the Seafood Enchilladas with the shrimp is another one of my favorites. There's plenty of seating, the staff is great, and the food is excellent. I would definitely recommend this place for some delicious Tex-Mex. read more

I went to this place with a group of friends for happy hour--the majority of us for the 1st time. It was amazing. The margaritas were awesome--just strong enough. I had the Camarones Diablo and my friends ordered the Chalupa plate. We all enjoyed our food. The service was above par and the place was clean. I enjoyed everything so much that I went back 2 days later with 1 of the friends for lunch. I ordered the exact same thing cause it was mmm, mmm good. By the way, the shrimp was not fishy tasting which means that it was not OLD. A lot of restaurants will serve fishy tasting (OLD) shrimp. FYI...If your seafood is fishy tasting or smelling, IT IS OLD! read more

There are not enough good things I could say about this place. My family and I go there weekly (at least). The high quality of the food (and of course drinks) is consistent without question, the service is impeccable, and every single employee goes out of their way to make sure the experience you have is top notch (even if you just pop in for their amazing happy hour). Lupe is the sweetest and always asks how our family is, Jose makes the BEST drinks and always goes out of his way to say hi, Fernando is very attentive and always makes sure we have everything we need at any moment, Edwin never fails to come say hello with a smile and is always making sure we are ok, and Claudia is probably one of the best servers I've ever had. We live in Richardson and amongst ALL of the Mexican restaurant options we have close to us (Frankie's, Pappasitos, Holy Frijoles, etc.), this is the spot we have and will ALWAYS choose. Love the people, love the atmosphere, love the food, love the drinks. I would point out certain food recommendations, but that would include anything I've ever eaten there, so this review would be WAY too long. Grateful to have this place down the road. They're incredible. read more

I've heard a lot about this place but I just never went until now. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is really good and the value is just amazing. $5 for a whole enchilada dinner which is actually good? The service was good too, they came by and filled up on salsa and drinks long before we ran out. I tried their chipotle chicken enchilada which was quite good. read more

Amigo's Comida Casera is tucked away in a slightly run-down strip mall in Richardson, a northeastern DFW suburb. Things started off well with two things: The waiters constantly refill the salsa - excellent. They also bring you an amuse bouche - impressive for a hole-in-the-wall. Tasty, to boot. Queso is made with white cheese and slow roasted peppers, spinach and carrots. The flavor is a nice, mild spice. Enchilada verde are topped with a very fresh tasting tomatillo sauce and come filled with finely shredded tender chicken. Guiso is one of the house specialties. The tender slow roasted pork is complemented by a broth of spicy serrano pepper. For dessert - yes, our waiter convinced us to go for dessert - we had "The Best Flan in Richardson." Our waiter explained that the flan, which looked like cheesecake, was flan Napolitano. Whatever it was, it was delicious. We also had to have a sopapilla. Also delicious. All in all - delicious. I suppose you could probably tell that we liked it by the sheer amount of food that we ate. It's the type of restaurant that we could go and have anything off of the menu and be happy. So I guess that means we'll be back. And that we like it. And that we've finally found a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in town with amazing food, great service and unbelievable prices. read more

First time at Amigos and it exceeded my expectations! Fernando's customer service was outstanding! He was attentive, polite and the food came out fast, hot and delicious! The "Shrimp and Fish Stew" was exactly what I wanted (one of my favorite dishes) and the margaritas were strong and exactly how I like them! The vibe was very positive, lots of regulars and the bartender knew something about each and every one of them. Overall experience was great and will return. (The bathrooms needed attention the night we were there, that is the only thing I would recommend changing) read more

The food was absouluty amazing but even better was the service! Jose P was our server and Lupe was the manager and we could not be more satisfied with our lunch pick. I bought a home in Richardson just three weeks ago and this is just up the street. I have been wanting to try it and when my son called and ask if he could take me to lunch I picked here. We sat outside and had fajitas and enchiladas, the salsa is the best we had ever had and that says a lot. Queso was spectacular. The service was worth coming back for. We got top grade A service. I felt so special I told my son I felt like I was being treated on Mothers Day. Will def be back!! read more

Over the three years we've lived here, Amigo's has always been our number one spot! We love this place and its people!

Went here for dinner last night with some friends. I really like their chips, they are sturdy and crisp. The salsa containers are tiny though, like maybe 3oz, not sure what's up with that. We started with the Large Queso $5.25. It is a white queso and has great flavor. The only issue I have is that it is soupy/runny. I had the Ribeye Fajitas $17.99 which were great, very tender and juicy. The flour tortillas are some of the best I have ever had. The rice was flavorful but the beans were just okay. All in all pretty good and we will be back for sure. read more

If you want amazing Tex-Mex, look no further!!! I have been here four times now and the service is always great, chips and salsa are awesome and the margaritas hit the spot! I placed a to go order and they told me ten minutes. I arrived exactly ten minutes later and because I waited literally 30 seconds for my food and they gave me a free margarita. 30 seconds y'all!! I wasn't even worried and would have gladly waited 10 more minutes. read more

First time visiting amigos and it was an amazing experience! The food was delicious fast service and our waiter Fernando was very friendly! It was a Saturday night and we got there during busy hours but he still manage to deliver a great customer service experience and was constantly checking on us, great live music. Everything was great! Definitely will be coming back read more

Metallic Pot Scrubber Pieces/Wires in Food ! I went to Amigos on 12/12/17 for lunch with my colleagues and had the worst experience ever. We ordered lunch entrees and while we waited for our food, they served us tostadas. I had almost finished eating the tostada when I noticed that I could feel something metallic in my mouth as I tried to chew on it. I spit it out and was shocked to see multiple pieces/wires in the tostada! There could have been more scrubber pieces in it that I might not have noticed and eaten accidentally. I didn't feel right after eating the tostada. How can they be so careless about it? read more

My fajitas chicken were dry. We got a combo and the beef was ok. We like this patio and margaritas but this is the second time the fajitas were dry. Seems like they make the chicken ahead of time and it sits warming and dries out. Chicken breast get tough when over cooked. We like our waitress as well but when I told her there was no response which was disappointing. Meh . read more

This has been my favorite hidden gem for 12 years. During this Covid mess, I have made every attempt to go eat here every week. Their margarita on the rocks is THE best in town. Prove me wrong! The salsa and the queso are top notch as well. Please go visit these folks. They will take care if you! read more

I was looking for texmex and found this place. So glad I did. They are located in a skummy little plaza so dont let the outside fool you. The staff here are all friendly and prompt. They were very attentive to details and refills. Once you are seated they bring you chips and salsa. Their house salsa is homemade and spicy and refreshing that it isnt over powered with celentro. I ordered brisket tacos and was glad I did. It was excelent. It being new years the manager was walking around offering champagne toasts for free. What a nice touch. I checked in here on yelp and got 25% off the entire meal. Thanks yelp. I will definitely stop back in here again. read more

I went on an enchilada obsession one week and tried enchiladas from several restaurants. So I can vouch for the fact that this restaurant definitely has the best enchiladas around. The food is really authentic and unique and tastes great every time. read more

While I used to love Amigos and still think their guiso and chicken enchiladas are great, given the recent, sizable increases in price, it no longer feels like a great neighborhood spot, but rather like every other Mexican restaurant in town. $10 for dinner enchiladas, yes - $15 for the same meal (no, there was no smaller increase in between) no thank you. A 50% increase shows little thought for regulars and understanding of the other options out there. read more

I had the spinach enchiladas and my sister had the veggie enchiladas. It was so good! Rice and beans are usually blah to me but these were delicious! Service could have been better. It was a pretty slow night when we went. read more

This is a go to spot. Been twice and amazed twice. Amazing food, excellent service, and even more amazing drinks. Best Mexican restaurant I've been to in DFW so far, hands down (and I've been to a few). They even have a fanned patio to eat on if summer isn't too killer. Special shout-out to their house made salsa. Spicier than most places, but dang, so good. If you're reading this, and you're in the mood for Mexican, just do yourself the favor and come here. read more

I miss Texas partly because of Amigos. This restaurant is pretty great. First of all, happy hour is pretty much all day, lol!! I remember coming here on lunch break and getting margaritas with the girls then going back to work lol!! Um, I wouldn't recommend that because the margaritas were strong LOL! Happy hour is like 11am-7pm. The food is also on point and definitely reasonably priced. The complimentary chips and salsa are fresh and delicious!! My friends and I would come here very often when I lived in Texas. I would definitely recommend ppl to come here. Fresh, delicious, authentic Mexican food at great prices. Sometimes the restaurant can be a little dark but there's outside seating and seats by the window. Just go ahead and come here already! read more

I came here for lunch today. After reading the reviews I decided to give it a try and i am SO glad I did!! I ordered the Agustin Dinner Plate and 2 margaritas with an extra shot and I couldn't have been more happy! The food is fantastic and all, but the lady who took my order over the phone and gave it to me when I arrived was THE SWEETEST. They made me feel like a VIP guest even though I ordered to go. Coming from someone who spent years in the restaurant industry, this is possibly the best customer service I have received in years. I will definitely be back.. and soon :) read more

Went there for a happy hour and dinner with some friends because we wanted a change from Frankies-where we usually go. They're owned by the same family and have $3 margaritas til 6:00. At about 10 til 6 we were looking for our waitress to order one more but she was no where to be found-however we flagged her down at 5:58 but she refused to honor the happy hour price even though we showed her the time. Wow! Next time we'll just stick to Frankies because their service is WAY better anyway. For the record, we tipped her well because karma will get her in the long run.... read more

I had NO idea this place existed, and I've been MISSING out. Every time I have driven by the parking lot was busy, so we decided to give it a shot. Now I know why the lot is always full. The staff were great with suggestions. The menu is huge, and everything looked great. The prices were exceptionally reasonable as well. We started with the beef nachos. The chef really took a lot of care in the plating of the nachos. They were the best I have had in a VERY long time. The waiter suggested the beef nachos. WOW!! I was so not disappointed. Honestly, I've been daydreaming about them all day. They use real cheese, extremely tender brisket, amazing guacamole that was on point, and fantastic beans. The nachos alone deserve 5 stars. I really enjoyed this place, and will most certainly be going back. Honestly, I think you could throw a dart at the menu, eat whatever the dart lands on, and you would not be disappointed. The chef takes a lot of care in the cooking and plating of the meals, which just raises the flavor level. read more
