Luckily we ordered tacos and I just happened to notice a discount on the bill and asked why we had it.  Water pitcher on the table was nice.  Tried the Ensalada Verde salad to start (share). Dressing was a little too sour for me and the greens were not crisp. 7/10.  I got the Fish tacos - 12/10 wow. Fish was SOOOO big and tasty. Slaw was meh but fish was wow wow.  Friend got the blackened chicken - 6/10, dry chicken, not a lot of great flavor or texture. We also got the Grilled Pina Colada dessert - 4/10. Pineapple had nice grill marks but was just warm, not caramelized like Pampas. Ice cream was good but just vanilla. Pineapple sauce was just thickened pineapple juice. Tiny sprinkle of granola on top. Overall very underwhelmed Especially for the price - WAY overpriced.  Recommending - only come for the fish taco and come on a Tuesday!!

I came here for my birthday dinner and overall had a great experience!…read more We started with the House Salsa Tasting, which came with black bean refritos with cotija cheese, salsa macha, salsa roja, salsa borracha, salsa cruda (pico de gallo), and agave totopos. Every salsa had its own unique flavor, and they were all delicious. The chips were fresh and crispy, and we even ended up using some of the salsas with the rest of our meal because they were that good. Next, we ordered the Beef Quesabirria, which came with braised beef, Oaxaca cheese, salsa cascabel, birria consommé, pickled red onion, white onion, cilantro, lime, and flour tortillas. These were absolutely incredible. The beef was tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The consommé was honestly a 10/10 and tied everything together. We also tried the Chicken Tinga Quesabirria, which came with chicken tinga, Oaxaca cheese, salsa cascabel, chicken birria consommé, pickled red onion, white onion, cilantro, lime, and flour tortillas. These were just as enjoyable! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked really well. To finish, we were surprised with complimentary churros because it was my birthday, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. It was a great way to end the meal. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and the outdoor patio has a great atmosphere. The only downside during my birthday visit was the service. We waited over 15 minutes just to get our drinks and another 15-20 minutes before anyone came to take our food order. There were quite a few long gaps throughout the meal. Our server was friendly, but I expected quicker service, especially for a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m. That said, I actually returned a few days later, and the service was much better, so it seems like it may have just been an off night. Overall, the food was outstanding and definitely the highlight of the experience. I'd absolutely come back for the quesabirria and salsa tasting!

It contained tomatoes, onions, cilantro, signature salt mix, avocado, garlic, jalapeño, lime, and tortilla chips. It is fresh, flavourful and vibrant. A great way to wake up your taste buds. And I love how it is constructed in front of you. Super fresh. Totally recommend this as a starter. We decided on the veggie quesabirria, and the smoked belly tacos. The veggie quesabirrias contained wild mushrooms, roasted bell peppers, charred onions, salsa macha, oaxaca cheese, vegetarian consomé, pickled red onions, white onions,cilantro, lime, and flour tortillas. The Smoked Pork Belly Tacos contained, crispy pork chicharrón, salsa borracha, onions, charred pineapple pico, cilantro and corn tortillas. Both tacos were delish. The veggie quesabirrias were so full of flavour that you won't miss the meat. There is also a good cocktail menu if that is your thing. We will definately be back.

This little L-shaped eatery offers a huge menu filled with favourites like tortilla soup, a variety of tacos and enchiladas, along with desserts. The four of us ate with gusto and were pleased with everything we tried. In particular, the Tres Leches cake is outstanding, with a perfect texture, not too watery and not too sweet. Very like the cake I had eaten prior in a diner along the Texas-Mexico border. One of us was having a birthday, and he was presented with a complimentary piece while staff sang to him to a backdrop of canned birthday music. It was delightful. The staff was very pleasant.

Full of bright colours and interesting mural and interesting art all over. Seating isn't exactly comfortable but otherwise a fun plae to dine. Menu is fantastic. There are so many things to try. They have appitizers, tacos, street food, and larger mains. Be sure to check out the dessert display case. We didn't have the room for dessert but it looks amazing. Oh and there is a plentiful drink menu. Ceviche was on special and I love that so we ordered it. It contained cubed wite fish marinated in lime juice, and mixxed with pico de Gallo and tooped with avocado. It ws served with tortilla chips. It was fresh and delicious. I would order this again. My husband went with the enchilada suizas which w was 3 tortillas filled with shredded chicken baked in salsa verde. It was rich, filling , and tasty. I ordered the plato de la abuela wich had a bit of everything. It contained rice, beans, potatoes, tortillas and you can pick your filling. I went with fish and beef. Massive portions and it was really tasty too. i especially like the fish filling. I had leftovers for the next day. IF you are indecive this is a good way to go. Service was in general good, except when it was time for the bill. I had to ask repeatily. Worth trying!

The food was ok, the avocados fries tasted great and came out fast. We also ordered varios tacos and a churro sundae. The tacos took a very long time to come out about 45 mins. They took so long that we ordered chips and guacamole to hold us over, which was very tasty. Once the tacos were served they were ok. Typically when you order tacos you get lime and hot sauce. In this case we didn't get lime or hot-sauce. The churro sundae took about 25 mins to come out after we had our tacos. The sundae was taken off the bill since it took so long, which was good. If you are wanting tacos, I would not recommend it. If you want to have drinks and some appetizers, you will like it.

Mine, the guava margarita, was somewhat tasteless. My partner really enjoyed his drinks. However, for being priced at over $14 per drink I think the drinks were not worth it. We ordered the taste menu for $35 with 3 courses. The tostadas were bland and boring. The tacos were decent but still somewhat tasteless. I expected more of some of the tacos such as more cumin. For dessert I got the chocolate cake which was delicious. My partner got the churro ice cream sandwich. In summary, El Beso lacked that extra thing to make it actually worth it. The drinks, overpriced, the food, lack luster.

And yes, there really are three amigos - three brothers, actually. The Rosales brothers are from Oaxaca and have been treating Edmonton to their vibrant flavours for nearly twenty years. It's no surprise that the Edmonton Journal voted them as Favourite Mexican Restaurant 2023 after becoming such a long-lasting and trusted name in Mexican fare. What better day of the week to visit a bumpin' Mexican joint than on Tuesday! Taco Tuesday, that is! I highly recommend making a reservation at Three Amigos because every time that I visit I watch people get turned away at the door because the restaurant is often full. This is especially true on a Tuesday, the day of my recent dinner. You'll find Three Amigos in a strip mall in Duggan, not far removed from all of the south side hustle and bustle. You can't possibly miss them with their awesome sign with a giant lit-up number three on it. Stepping into the space is like a portal straight to Mexico! The colours! The energy! The smells! The restaurant is positively alive with the vibration of Mexico and it's a feast for the senses. No inch of the dining area is spared from a bright splash of paint, an interesting piece of art, or something else that feels incredibly authentic. I love the corrugated tin walls, the tabletops made out of metal Corona signs, and the Latin music filling the air. And I especially love the bathrooms, which you need to see for yourself. Let's just say that they have leaned into an entire unexpected Simpsons theme down in that end of the restaurant and it's hilariously wonderful. You will certainly not be short on atmosphere at Three Amigos. The servers are warm and friendly, offering a glow of hospitality that makes every customer feel welcome. Seated at my table, I was treated to an excellent view of the entire room and I watched as each and every table filled and became occupied for the evening. I could think of no better way to start the meal than with a Horchata Aguas Frescas ($5.00) and Totopos (House made corn tortilla chips, salsa - $12.00). Horchata is my forever favourite and I order it every time (if I'm not drinking alcohol). A traditional Mexican beverage made up of white rice soaked in water and then flavoured with cinnamon. It's sweet, nutty, and milky but also somehow quite refreshing. The horchata at Three Amigos is very good, however I did find that the bottom of my drink was very dense with ground cinnamon. I found the grainy sips to be a bit much and could have used for the cinnamon to have been dialed back a bit. The totopos seem simple enough but are not to be missed. The heaping mountain of tortilla chips are the perfect thing for everyone to munch on, and let me tell you, these housemade chips are addictive. You can tell that they taste freshly fried and are salted just the right amount. Nothing like the bagged kind from the grocery store. I also really enjoyed the three salsas that were served with the chips, each a different level of heat. The bright red one (Roja) was the mildest, while the darker red one (Diablo) was spicy, smoky, and full of deep chipotle flavour. My favourite is the creamy green salsa (Verde) which is medium in spice. The menu at Three Amigos is HUGE. It can be overwhelming to consider all of the options from starters to mains to tacos (an entire section all its own) to tortas. The best way to sample a lot of different things (especially if you're undecided) is to try the Amigo Plato (Empanada, taco dorado, tostada, gordita, chicken tinga taco, guacamole, crema, pico de gallo, refried beans, rice - $29.00), a sampler plate which consists of a surprising number of items. The food all arrived extremely quickly, and placed in front of us, this platter summed up Three Amigos in one single dish. Exciting, bursting with colours, each option enticing in its own way. I wasn't quite sure where to begin but I just started eating! The empanada, a stuffed corn pastry with chicken on the inside, was fried to a golden perfection. However, of all of the items, I did find it the least exciting. Next to the empanada was the taco dorado, a rolled fried corn tortilla stuffed with chicken and potato. The shape made it easy to eat, but again the overall flavour wasn't so interesting. Things kicked up a notch with the tostada, this crispy fried corn tortilla is topped with refried beans, braised chipotle chicken, queso fresco, avocado, and pico de gallo. I find a tostada pretty difficult to eat because as soon as you pick it up and bite it the whole thing often shatters and falls apart! But I love them anyway because you get the satisfaction of a crunchy tortilla paired with a fresh and delicious flavour combo piled high on top. The gordita might have been my favourite, a corn tortilla pressed pancake stuffed with
