    Amazing and authentic Mexican. Always fresh and made to order. Definitely the best street tacos in the tricities.

    Located on the end of the strip mall adjacent to Wal-Mart, traffic is usually heavy. There is no…read moreparking adjacent to the building so you have to cross a traffic lane. There is handicapped parking close to the entrance door, so just watch as you are crossing the traffic lane. The host/ hostess counter is directly in front as you enter. We were greeted right away and taken to a booth. One bench cover was torn and the table had an annoying wiggle every time you changed positions. We also noticed the overhead music was slightly too loud. There were several other groups eating and we heard their conversations as they tried to talk over the music. Our server was very friendly and did his job well. He took our drink order and then gave us the right amount of time to make our selections. We received the chips and salsa just before our drinks arrived. The food took no more than 15 minutes after we placed the order to arrive. The salsa was disappointing. It had a strong tomato paste flavor. There were bits of onion and a few pieces of cilantro but neither of those flavors made it through. The carnitas was pretty good. The amount of pork was a bit less than expected but the flavor was good and it was very tender. The rice and refried beans were average at best. The salad was nice, with fresh lettuce, avocado and jalapeno slices, and tomatoes. The chicken and shrimp was also pretty good. The chicken had nice seasoning even without the cheese sauce and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. This dish had the same rice and refried beans. BTW, the accompanying tortillas were hot, so be careful as you unroll them. Other than the excellent service, the best part of this experience was the salsa bar. There were about eight different salsas to chose from. Each had a unique flavor and ranged in consistency from pico to creamy. One pico even included cactus. Any of these salsas were an improvement over the initial salsa and also made a great addition to the main meals. The bottom line for me is this is an average Mexican restaurant with above average service and salsa bar.

    Had a great time with family (party if 14) with great service. Plenty of choices for the plain…read moretaco folks and those of us that prefer a little more authentic. Molcajete was on point.

    First visit to Amigo. We enjoyed our experience. They're located in a strip shopping center with…read morea lot of parking. The food was good and their thick salsa had a nice flavor. Their tortilla chips were a bit thicker than usual, which took away from the flavor of the salsa a bit. Their lunch menu is a little short on options compared to many other Mexican restaurants (most lunch dishes $8-12). We had a friendly waiter who brought our food very quickly. The seating area is quite large and appeared to be clean.

    Service was really great. However, this is Tex Mex not what we are used to, being from California…read more I ordered a chili relleno. It said ground beef filling, so I assumed it would be ground beef and cheese inside. I asked if it could be made without the ground beef and she said no. So I said I'd try it. I shouldn't have. Inside the chili was some sort of ground beef mixture and the cheese was just sprinkled on top. It wasn't even fried. I took one bite and stopped eating it. I also ordered a tostada because I figured who could mess that up. Well it came with no beans, just meat. The good things.. chips and salsa were great. Refried beans and rice.. also good. I ended up scooping up the refried beans and putting it on the tostada. My husband had the chimichangas, but had to ask them to put cheese on them instead of the queso sauce they came with. He asked them to hold the queso sauce. He asked if they could put the cheese inside the chimichangas and they said no. He said they were mediocre. So if you like Tex Mex, I'm sure you'll like this restaurant. If you want authentic Mexican food, this isn't the place for you.
