Excellent food and drink! Not crowded so service was great and the food was the tastiest Mexican food I've had since moving to Tennessee 2 years ago from Colorado! Chips were fresh and hot and guacamole has a unique superb taste that I still can't quite put my finger on. Will stop here again! read more

As noted previously, this is a hidden gem. Had a combo and it was quite good. Beans were superb! Good bar selections. If I lived here I'd be back often. read more

Great little place right off the interstate. Food was very good and super fast. The best steak fajitas that I have had. Service was quick. Highly recommend as you travel to and from the beach!!!! read more

Food is bland. Service is so-so. We gave it multiple chances but it didn't improve.

Great find out in the middle of no where on the way to Huntsville. Worth the stop for the chips and salsa alone. Recommend veggie Fajitas and Spicy Burrito. For the kids, the old standby, quesadilla is better than most you'll find in places like this. read more

El Amigo - The lightest crunchy awesome chips I've ever had and coming from Texas, I've had plenty! - Mexican Near Me - Hope Hull, Alabama

A typical side of the highway rundown little Mexican joint with 73 different menu options. The food was rather good however the building was so run down I felt it wasn't the safest cleanest place. With holes cut in the walls to make Windows and the bathrooms that were in terrible condition. The service was great. read more

El Amigo - Shredded Beef Burrito~ - Mexican Near Me - Hope Hull, Alabama

I liked what I ordered, but I was the only one and I was the only person whose order wasn't wrong in some way or other. The margaritas tasted of cheap pre-mix but the chips were light and crispy and the rice was great. I got the chicken verde burritos and thought they were great. read more

El Amigo - Not the best I've had but it was the only Mexican restaurant around - Mexican Near Me - Hope Hull, Alabama

Yeah should have skipped this place. The pictures with the dead flies is right where we sat. So dirty!! Left most of my plate. Not sure what sort of cheese compilation they used, but it was just nasty. Ordered a Dos and the waiter called it xx. lol and he forgot my lime. I even asked. Not bad for a beer but this is bottom of the barrel! The staff was more worried about the chicken legs they had cooking outside for themselves? Oh well. read more

Wanted a beer and to get waited on so in spite of the 3.5 stars we picked it. What a find! Greeted at the door and seated- ordered a beer - it came with a mason jar type glass rimmed with salt and a wedge of lime. Delivered with the thinnest crispy warm chips and medium salsa. Ordered the steak fajitas for two/ they came quickly- sizzling hot with rice , beans and shredded salad. I did not think we could handle that mound-- but we did. Left stuffed and happy-- oh service was superb throughout. If you are at exit 164 on I 65 in Alabama stop and see! read more

Very nice place. Ambiance is cafeteria like, but the food is incredible. Service was outstanding. I will return... read more

Typical "Tex-mex" restaurant.. I guess you can call me biast since I'm Mexican and know what REAL Mexican food is. The salsa was the typical "on the border" sauce. I got the two enchiladas one chicken and one beef. Portion was good but just feel they could be a little more generous with the rice. I hate how many restaurants give so little rice. I Mean come on now your charging me an arm and a leg for something I can make at home for less than 8$. For what I spent food could have been a little better. I'll give 2 stars since the waitress was nice. read more

This place is right off interstate 65. Clean and great food! And alcohol! read more

El Amigo - Steak and chicken fajitas! - Mexican Near Me - Hope Hull, Alabama

Stopped in for lunch on the way to Gulf Shores. The tacos and rice were flavorful and not too spicy. Service was prompt and friendly. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Ate here for lunch today. The salsa was delicious first round but the second tasted different-not as flavorful. The chips were good, though slightly greasy. I had a flauta with rice and beans. It all tasted good, though the rice was very greasy. I felt the price was a bit high for lunchtime and for the amount of food I received. With two family members with me all with sodas, and a 20% tip for friendly service, the bill was close to $50. read more

Don't judge this place by the outside! The food is awesome, the cheese dip was super cheesy and the lunch fajitias was a huge portion and tasted amazing! read more

Enjoyed our food here. Great service. Margaritas were ok but I think I will try a daiquiris next time. Husband got chicken burrito with tasty and plenty of cheese sauce on it. I had vegetarian choice that was very good. Their salsa tasted homemade and they gave us a good size bowl of it so we weren't flagging anyone down for more. Will definitely eat there again someday read more

I entered a spooky looking door and asked to see a menu, as wanted to place a to go order. I was told they didn't have a to go menu. Ok, can I order off regular menu and you put in a go box? This continued until the host finally said "he will help you",nodding to a guy in a booth. Okay, let's repeat first conversation!!! I ordered a cheese and bean quesadilla, a small side of guacamole, and a chicken flauta. I will give them credit, my order was quickly prepared. This is about all the credit I am willing to give out. When I arrived back at my hotel, I unpackaged my order (which came to an astonishing $16) to find a beef and cheese quesadilla, a 8 oz cup of guac, a miniscule flauta and a large queso, 2 bags of chips and a large salsa. Ok, close enough not to warrant a trip back out. The chips were of the very thin type that immediately crack and go under your gums....a fun time for all! The salsa was actually pretty tasty with pieces of tomato, onion and cilantro visible.The quesadilla was made on 2 taco size flour tortillas, magnifying glass needed. Wrong, but edible. The flauta came from the same doll house supply with a large scoop of guac on top(forgot to add that was on the side in theory as ordered). The chicken tasted only a few hours from going bad, as I could smell the disturbing order of poultry gone wrong. The guac was tasty.....I was scooping away when I got a chunk that kept coming.....a long black hair was mixed in with the avocado mash. Ugh. If you want the wrong order, dirty place, sour chicken and hairy avocado, stop in here. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food was amazing!! They have natural fruit water.. i ordered Pinneaple.. amazing. But they took so long. The waiters would pass by and look and wouldn't ask us if we needed anything.. so the lady that would sit people would pass and ask us every now and then if we were ok and when i was about to order she told me to wait, um i know your done thats why i am telling you my order. The customer service is horrible. But the food was good. read more

We enjoyed this little restaurant on our way to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. The service was excellent, the staff was very friendly and kind. The food was very good. I'm glad we stopped here and would recommend this restaurant to all. read more

Hmm I tried the tilapia fish taco and I wasn't impressed. It was the first time that I've had tilapia shredded to make a taco. Staff was nice and the price was great. read more

There is nothing wrong with this restaurant. It is a hole in the wall, but the food was typical Mexican. The food and salsa were fresh and spicy. Great place to stop in a VERY small town. read more

Decor isn't anything special, but what do you expect from a place in the middle of nowhere? Staff was friendly, tea was good, salsa was chunky and very fresh. Taco, tostada, and quesadilla were all very good. Would come back if I am ever here in the middle of nowhere again. read more

Very good. I was a little nervous from the looks of the outside of the building. Food was tasty and staff was super nice and friendly. Nice find by the airport. read more

Great Mexican restaurant. Great food and prices. The waitress was very attentive and kind. Come enjoy the great food and drinks.

Very delicious. Don't let the hole in the wall location mislead you. These folks were nice to talk too, heaped on the to-go food and new how to cook. I thoroughly enjoyed this place. read more

This place the best Mexican in the middle of Alabama. Try the pico avocado appetizer and the flan! Lots of entrées to select from. We've tried about seven different ones and all are good so far. And they are fast! read more

This is by far the best Mexican food we've had since leaving the west coast for NW Fl.! & in Alabama of all places. Would never have guessed they had good Mexican here. Surprised this place had a total of 3 1/2 stars. Only reason I can think of is maybe they don't know good Mexican food in Alabama. Fresh w/good salsa's & sauces. Would have given it 5 stars if they would have had more than 2 cold Negro Modelo's. read more

We had eaten here while traveling through the area about 3 years ago. It was good then, so traveling again last week, we stopped in for another dinner. I'm sorry to report that it was not good at all. Usually Mexican food is piping hot, but this was barely lukewarm and extremely salty. I am just thankful it didn't make me ill. read more

Great food, great service, great location!! We stopped while traveling and couldn't have been happier. The queso was awesome, and between the family we had soft tacos, carne asada, a chimichanga and an order of fries (for a kiddo) and everyone was extremely happy with their food. The menu is huge so there's something for everyone. If you are in the area don't pass this on up! read more

Great food, cocktails are amazing, priced decently as well. Would definitely come back.

Good food. We stopped here when we were traveling and wanted something better than fast food and lighter than home cooking. I really enjoyed my beef tacos and enchilada. They have several vegetarian options. My wife got the veggie quesadilla and really liked it. read more
