    Bad tortilla. I had to warm up some of my own to finish the taco.

    Wow haven't been here in a while but remember they had pretty good tortillas!!! They don't make their own anymore. What they have now is just horrible rubbery terrible tortillas. I mean Chic fe la has better tortillas. Sorry bad decision not sticking with making homemade tortillas.

    Picture doesn't do it justice, but the tacos are BIG. This is a bacon & egg taco with some of the red salsa on top.

    Came here yesterday and had a few breakfast tacos and a coffee, so I can't speak for their plates and other breakfast options. For the breakfast tacos, this is a high-value establishment. Breakfast taco prices range from $2.45-$2.95. I had a bacon & egg taco and a chorizo & egg. Both were LARGE. Almost a burrito size. I appreciate this. Coffee was a bit weak, but not bad. My only request is that the breakfast tacos come with a creamy jalapeño green sauce by default. I am not sure if they offer this. The tacos come with a red salsa that is great. But some other options would be nice.

    During winter months Amigos occasionally does a chicken n dumplings special. My wifey wanted to try them so we came here for lunch. She rated the chicken n dumplings as some of the best that she has ever had. Tasty homemade thin dumplings w/a thin succulent broth loaded with juicy fresh shredded chicken & also carrots. Also had a large thick slice of cornbread on the side. She'd give them more stars if Yelp allowed a 10 star review! I had and loved the tender carne guisada plate. Came w/tortillas, rice and beans. These guys may not serve chicken n dumplings year round, but we'd still come back for the que. Good food!

    Barbacoa fat that should have been cleaned during preparation.

    I honestly feel catfished. I've seen so many reviews raving about this place on Yelp and other sites. Since this is during COVID-19 pandemic, I noticed one cook had his mask below his chin the entire time I waited for my order. They don't seem to prioritize social distancing either, as the tables were all available in the small dining room and they had BBQ sauce and ketchup bottles out for communal use. I've seen people recommend their tacos, which surprises me as the tortillas I received were clearly store bought - both flour and corn. I got both and neither were good. Now for the BBQ, the most disappointing part. See the included pictures for specifics, but in general: - brisket was underseasoned and poorly trimmed. I asked for one pound of brisket and received at least 1/3 pound of fat (see photo). I also assume it was undercooked based on the toughness and lack of smoke ring (I worked in a BBQ restaurant during college). - barbacoa should have been cleaned better. A huge chunk of fat that should have been removed was included (see photo). I understand what barbacoa is, I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley. This was lower quality than a sketchy stand at the flea market. They at least have good salsas there. Probably the most passable thing we got. - pulled pork was mediocre at best and pretty dry. Also had a huge piece of fat (see photo) - chicken was mediocre as well. I was hoping for RGV-BBQ chicken, but got generic "dad overcooked the chicken, but don't say anything he's already mad" chicken. - sausage was fine, probably because they didn't make it. It was dry though, which indicates it had been sitting in a proofer (steam oven) or on the line for a while. - bbq sauce tasted like Sweet Baby Rays, which isn't bad, just not redeeming enough for the poor quality of the meats. Picking up cooked brisket from Walmart and a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays would have been a better choice than eating here. I will never go back here based on their treatment during COVID-19 and the poor quality of the food. I hope you don't try it either, because it certainly isn't worth your money.

    Great breakfast taco shop, although the name is BBQ grill. I love the bean and cheese when I am not feeling meat early in the morning. My next go to taco us the spicy potatoe, bacon and cheese. Just amazing. Their home made sauce is wonderful. If they every start selling it, I will be first in line. I don't like putting picante type tasting sauce on my taco. I am very picky and this sauce hits me just right.

    I have only eaten here once, but it is good. A lot of ex-military and also a lot of people that were going to compete or taking food to their teams at the Pflugerville chili fest were here. This is a true joint. They have a kind of spicy potato that they have with their food. I had a potato and bacon taco and a chopped brisket taco. Sat outside and had a good time chatting with folks. There are very few tables inside and they were all full. Not bad, not bad at all. Will be going back to check out more food.

    We love Amigo's BBQ. Especially the chips and salsa. My dad will bring me home a cup of their salsa whenever he goes. One of my Favorite dishes is the Fajita Botana. For breakfast I love their bacon and egg tacos. I definitely recommend this place.

The black beans were rich and flavorful, the empanadas were crisp and satisfying, and the Yuca con Guasacaca dish was so good it honestly surprised me. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I'll definitely be back to try more things on the menu. It's a very comfortable casual restaurant. We were enjoying watching the World Cup.

Our server was great! She was nice, checked on us and refilled our waters frequently. Entrees: - Pabellion Criollo: meat was a little too salty for my friend's taste but she said the rice balances it out really well. They accommodated her request for scrambled instead of fried eggs. - Asado Negro: Sooo good. It was like, beef and gravy, but better. They allowed me to sub the beans for extra rice - Surf and turf sandwich: Hubby said it was okay but adding more of the green sauce helped a bit - Filet mignon (can't remember the exact name): our other friend liked his staff as well! They also accommodated his request to have the egg on the side. I guess it could be a hole in the wall place since it's in an unassuming small business strip but the music was good and everyone loved the food! Be warned: there is only 1 bathroom so plan your potty break accordingly...

    Let's start with the small menudo. If you don't like spicy menudo then this might be up your alley…read more As for me I was looking for spicy in every bite and never got it. Something that was very different about this menudo was that is was entirely meat and broth/juice there was 0 sign of hominey which is something I've never seen before. I love for my menudo to have lots of meat and some hominey but the fact that there was absolutely no hominey made me unsatisfied. I give the menudo overall a 3.5/10 I probably won't get that again here. The flautas were a 10/10 they were perfectly crispy all around, the meat was seasoned and the flautas definitely had a great portion of meat. The chicken flautas came smothere in cream and queso fresco as well as lettuce and tomato which all tasted fresh and went really well with those. The red and green salsa were really good and flavorful. The red one was much spicier than the green both complimented the flautas. Fruit cup was good and made fresh to order. The carne asada burrito with potato's and cheese was HUGE, very flavorful, a hint of spice and had lots of meat! 9.5/10 highly recommended only thing that could've brought it to a ten would be if the potatoes had some sort of crispiness to them, they were super soft and I prefer a crust-like outer layer on my potatoes. Beans were good, love that they put cheese in them just like my family does. The rice was good, I did add a little salt to it but overall good. The staff was sweet and patient, I came in with my two toddlers and they interacted with the staff and enjoyed their food

    Thank you Jonathan! We love getting our Tex-Mex after…read morecruising because we miss this food! We decided on an early dinner and always ask for chairs instead of booths. We sat for about 5 minutes and as Jonathan walked by Mike asks Will you be our waiter? He politely stated no but immediately asked what we wanted. We already decided on drinks and famous Numero Uno for each of us! Within 5 minutes he had our drinks and food out hot and delicious! We love this place So don't go here Cause I don't want to wait on my fast, polite service!

I paid $13ish not including tip for this small little cup of queso and oil. I complained at the front counter regarding the size and oil content, however, the apparent manager who assisted me basically disregarded me all together. Now... I've purchased large orders of queso from several other good restaurants (Ramos, Vivos... to name a couple) and it has never been soo dang small nor has it ever been topped with soo much damn oil!!!! Also, for to-go orders typically you'd seperate the guacamole so your customer can add it chilled to the hot queso as they see fit. Note to self ( and others)... DON'T waste your hard earned money here especially if they could care less about their product. And note to Casa Garcia's Management... Atleast litsen to and acknowledge your customers! There's no reason this should've been served!
