Nice fresh chips and sizeable dinner portions. The food is always tasty and we always get the queso dip with the chips. read more

Hungry Amigos - Chips & Salsa - Mexican Near Me - Parkersburg, West Virginia

Today I wanted to try a new to me Mexican Restaurant in Parkersburg so I stopped at Happy Amigos. I was greeted and seated immediately and my waiter rushed over to get my drink order and deliver my menu. I went for the Tostaguac which was Tostada with beef, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese & Guacamole served with beans and rice. Of course chips and salsa standard and I loved the salsa The food and service was great. The atmosphere was vivid colors and brightly decorative dining spaces. Very pleased and definitely going back. read more

It was an evening meal for two, the dining room was extremely hot. Easily in the upper 80s. We ordered drinks, we did not receive what we ordered. Proceeded to talk to the server, and order food. She had enchiladas. They were flavorless, with very, very little filling. I had the burrito grande. It too, was not very flavorful. We finished our meal, what we could eat of it. The server never checked on our table until we were done. The server brought the check. However, I was expecting to pay from the table. But, I had to walk upfront to an empty cashier station. Finally, a bearded guy with glasses came up to ring me out. . He did not Ask how our meal was, he did not say hello, he said nothing other than the amount owed. At the beginning of the meal, chips were served. The paper that lined the basket of chips had dried food all over it. The bill was close to $30 for this shit hole. If you enjoy, no service, terrible food, a very inhospitable atmosphere, with extremely rude employees. This is the place for you.. Absolutely, a terrible Place to eat. Do yourself a favor, eat roadkill instead. read more

I literally just walked in and out of this place. It smelled like raw sewage. Disgusting.

Food on par with or better than any Latino fare I've had in the Mid-Atlantic region (have dined on this style all over much of WV, southeast OH, part of MD, etc). A nice little place centrally located in the metro area and strangely never as busy as you would expect though it seems to be picking up. Maybe the best salsa of ANY place I've been. read more

Waiter spilled drink didn't clean it up. I would be surprised if there was any alcohol in the margaritas. VERY watered down. No peach flavor at all. Had to ask for napkins. Asked for to go box, never got one. No one asked how the food was. And it was not great. Won't ever go back! read more

Confused waitress... food was cold...refried beans were mush and cold. Guacamole was brown topped. Chips were cold and chewy. Out of chicken, out of cheese sauce. .. Dinners were greasy. Won't be back! read more

Food was amazing so good service was so good the two people I met were great Martha and Mario I recommend here best Mexican food in town matter fact state! FYI there's new owners now they are amazing kind people. read more

This was my first and last time eating here. I ordered a chori pollo and the chicken was not fresh... it had a bizarre smell to it. I get a chori pollo every time I eat Mexican so I'm familiar with how the dish should taste. The chori pollo was cold, without seasoning, and tasted like dish water. For some reason there were Lima beans in it. The refried beans themselves were runny and very watery. I couldn't eat more than two bites (one extra bite to make sure my initial taste was correct). I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. For what it's worth, the service was fast. The salsa wasn't very flavorful either. I'm not a Mexican food snob, I'm just saying, there are better places to eat. read more

These portions are unbelievably large. If you like steak I think the Burrito de carne asada is the best $10.00 you can spend here. Probably the most bang for your buck foalmost anywhere. Even the sweet tea is delicious. The staff and food were both just great. No question I'll be back for seconds read more

I won't be back. I ordered 20$ worth of food take out for just me carne asada burrito, Chile relleno, and tamale. Burrito was tiny for 13$, tamale was terrible, I will say I liked the Chile rellleno. The lady was rude and I asked for some sauce after she rang me out. She rolled her eyes and I told her I have cash if its extra for sauce, she said never mind I got it. We were only of three in there and no salsa or sauce. After eating I haven't been that food sick in a long time. My father ordered 4 tacos but again no sauce and he resorted to put on soy sauce. I was horrified. Never been that sick in a long time much better places around town read more

Did not receive my complete order. And what I did receive was cold. I got the fajitas, but did not get any tortillas to make a fajita. I also order the melted cheese on top. Didn't not get that either. read more

Extremely friendly and delicious! I usually call prior, and pickup through the drive thru. Very quick and I can't express enough how sweet the employees always are. Highly recommend! read more

Best Mexican food I have ever had ! Bean dip is amazing !!!! Love the food and staff is friendly and nice ! What a hidden treasure

The food is not bad at all .. My review is based on the service I received after an online order of about $40.00 including a 30% tip. I went to pick it up through the drive thru like I always do and the young male worker would not give me my food. He made me go park and walk in to get it. I found this to be ridiculous !! He lost a weekly good customer because of the way he treated me.. NOT HAPPY. read more

Great little find on our way through West Virginia! We had Carne Asada and steak fajitas. Most authentic we've seen since Mexico!! Service was great too! read more

The smell of Odo-Ban in this place is overwhelming!!! They also use it to wipe tables off... ewww!! The ground beef had a stick in it ( I was told it was bay leaf, but who knows??) It did NOT seem to bother our waitress. It bother me!! The Pico de gallo is always days old and you can tell that it's been refrigerated.. opaque onions, dried out jalapeño...etc. unlike the original restaurant located in Marietta, Ohio...this location on Lakeview, is definitely what I would call sub-par and the wait staff as well, and as in different and unapologetic. Something needs to change!!! UPDATE!!! 11/3/17 They are Still using OdoBan to wipe off tables...yuck! Raised prices, charged $1.39 to add tomatoes to two regular tacos? Charged $1.99 for a 2tbs size side of cheese sauce for my daughter to pour over her side of rice.....I see nothing has changed, still NOT AS GOOD AS MARIETTA location. And when I asked at the register about the add-on prices was told "yes, is very expensive for small cheese, no?" Whatever. NOT going back. I will drive to Marietta. Two different managers @ 2 locations, and IT SHOWS. read more

The best Mexican by far in the MOV area. I highly recommend this place 5 stars hands down. Excellent food and service

Having moved to West Virginia three years ago, we have been looking for some "authentic" Mexican food. We have tried several other restaurants that were woefully lacking. However, we ate at Hungry Amigos today and found the food to be very tasty and authentic Mexican. The staff were friendly and the new owner personally visited our table for our opinions and input. Needless to say, we will be visiting Hungry Amigos again! read more

Nice restaurant with very pleasant and quick service. The food was standard fare, but was tasty and had large portions. The Margherita was solid. Overall, highly recommended if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wonderful wait staff, the food is always great and some of the best sweet tea in Parkersburg. Just the right amount of heat in the pico and also in the queso. I'll eat there any time I get a chance. read more

Review for Tampico's 9.21.14 Intro: seated and greeted quick. Atmosphere was pleasant with some neat paintings on the wall and the lighting was ok. Waiter was nice, and had a warm vibe and was kinda cute. Got us our stuff pretty quick too. Gave us free nachos which were good. All three of us: Me, Hubby, and his Dad ordered the same thing, the Pollo Monterrey and it was really good. Right amount of ingredients and chicken was cooked good. I'm sensitive to textures and I didn't have any issues! None of us had any issues with any of ours and we all liked it and we are all stuffed! LOL. Service: Was pretty standard for a place like this. Prompt but not overbearing. Overall: Would definitely return. I've been getting tired of Cheddar's and Applebee's and Chinese food so this was a good change of pace :) read more

Wow. I've Stopped by Tampico 3 times this month. I can't get enough of the tacos. Keenan, the manager, recommended them and boy was he right. George and Anna have provided me with great service. I've only visited 3 times and they know exactly what I want. You aren't gonna find better service in town. I also thought it was very nice of the manager to come around and check on everyone. The managers hospitality, made it feel like home, I don't think i've ever been more comfortable in a restaurant. read more

After watching the intelligent, classy way that manager Sergio Budal handled an ignorant, toxic, racist verbal attack at Tampico, I can't wait to visit West Virginia and patronize this restaurant. People like Sergio are the lifeblood of our great country and need to be cherished and supported! Good luck to you all.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0KqDEza3H0 read more

Good location, fast service and delicious food. Pleased the entire family of eaters. Everything in our take away order was accurate. read more

Hungry Amigos - Veggie fajitas ( to go) . - Mexican Near Me - Parkersburg, West Virginia

Slow, waiting to pay my bill has taken longer then ordering and eating the dinner. Not a busy night either. Dinner was good but the margarita must have been made by a first timer. Kinda sad. read more

A pretty decent Mexican restaurant tucked away in the foothills of Appalachia. The menu is pretty standard Mexican-American fare, heavy on enchiladas, chimichangas, burritos and fajitas, each coming with a choice of meats. Our server was very friendly, checking in the right amount and quick to provide refills and answer any questions we had. The food itself was OK and pretty comparable to Americanized Mexican that I've had around the country. If you're on a trip through the area and are wanting Mexican, it's definitely worth a stop. read more

On a trip to Charleston we stopped at Tampico. We both ordered the carne asada burrito plate which came with rice and beans. We were hungry, finished the chips real quick before the food arrived, then devoured our plates. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was good. It's hard to find good food in the area, we'll make sure to stop in again on our next trip down south. read more

Last night my husband and I were tired from running all week. So much to do. We wanted to sit down, have a nice meal and be waited on. My husband was hungry for Mexican. We went to Tampico in Parkersburg, WV. We met the new Manager Keenan, our waitress Amanda and the owners nephew I believe he said his name is Emanny. Normally I ask for them to spell it so I can Mentally in my mind see it . They were very polite, we enjoyed talking with them . Amanda brought out tortilla chips, salsa, and Queso dip. This is the only Queso I have eaten out that I like. I ordered burritos, half beans and half rice side dish. I was only able to eat my beans and rice, A few bites of burritos. No I was not able to get photos.... we were gone all day and my phone was dead. Next time I do owe these three people an apology. We were tired and enjoying eating, resting and great conversation I did not realize the time. Tampico closes at 2100 hrs on Sunday. We left at 2120. I promise we won't stay that late again. Thank you Keenan, Amanda and Manny for a delightful evening, Good food and good service God Bless you all read more

Great fish tacos and shrimp tacos !!!! The queso is addictive AF! The staff is so friendly and considerate! They take Covid seriously and are very good about properly wearing masks! read more

I love this place when I use to live there my friend took me to lunch where I was very happy with the service I received there I hope if I visit there I can eat there again. But I do not know when I am there again but they got excellent food read more

To start off, there was a hair in my food. Then I watched as a couple workers started rolling silverware without washing their hands or wearing gloves. They would also play with their phones and one was even playing with her hair while they were rolling the silverware. How unsanitary is that? Can I just just say GROSS read more

Best Mexican food in the area! Hands down. Can't wait to go there again!

My only Mexican restaurant!!! Loved it for years. It never disappoints! Cheese dip is the best I ever had....burrito Tampico is my favorite.

What an amazing restaurant. I've tried a couple of the other mexican restaurants in town, and this is BY FAR the best. I ordered and received my food in 5 minutes. Very fast, and great service. read more

Every time I come here I end up getting the same thing - Carne Asada. It's usually well-cooked (although it's been dry at times). Their rice is really good and I like their margaritas. Their salsa isn't very good; we usually have to add salt, pepper and hot sauce to it, but it's edible. Friendly service. Will come back! read more

Fast service, friendly waiters, ample food! The steak fajita nachos are my fave here! It's in an old fast food restaurant, so it loses a star for the ambiance, but everything else is good. read more

Went there for lunch today. Had the burrito Tampico and chicken nachos. Both were excellent. Salsa is always great. Service is good too. We eat here often and have never had a bad experience. read more

Great spot for lunch today. Today's Burrito Tampico was excellent and under $7. Was pleasantly surprised that the beef, rice and beans were full of flavor unlike many Mexican restaraunts I have visited. Wait staff was friendly, food arrived quick and most importantly, the chips and salsa were outstanding. read more

4 stars because they actually have a molcajete. They could get 5 stars if they had agua de piña and horchata and accepted Bitcoins for payment. Otherwise very fast service. The carne asada was tender. The beans, rice, and tortillas were all yummy. The salsa with the chips was not too spicy, which I like. read more
