Sounds odd, but it works really well. WAY better than taco Bell. I'd avoid the chicken option though, it has a weird texture. The cheese dip is excellent. The staff (mostly teenagers) is usually apathetic and less than friendly, but its worth it for the food.

It took 45 minutes for them to take our food order. Our server had multiple other tables in the main dining area. When we talked to the manager about getting our food order taken, we were essentially told we'll get to you when we get to you. Food was delivered within a reasonable time after that except for 2 meals that didn't come out until at least 5 minutes after the last people were served. Our guests also had to go to the bar themselves to order additional cocktails. The food quality was fine, but the service was poor and response to our inquiries to get food ordered was inadequate.

Thus, we were hesitant...but hungry with little expectations. Upon entry, we were pleasantly surprised to hear Mexican music and Spanish speakers in the back. I had hope! Although the salsa was bland (& I avoid spicy), we shared the taco plate and a nachos. We were not disappointed. However, I recommend skipping the mojito entirely- I had to send it back. And yes, i know mojito is a cuban drink. They knew we weren't from town, lol- so we got to talking and learned they had roots from Mexico, then grew up not terribly far from me in Ca. He admitted they've had to adjust the way they make some items due to the mid-west clientele they have who aren't used to anything remotely authentic.

We are Mexican food aficionados so it is always a gamble trying a new place . It was worth it !

Best bar in town. Only bar in town?…read more Either way. Decent margaritas, frosty mugs for draft beer. Pool table (classic style with woven leather pockets). Air hockey table (out of commission as of 9/10/2022). Engraved wood everything - tables, chairs, assorted decor. Somebody shelled out some beaucoup bucks to decorate this place. Definite small-town vibes here. Didn't eat, but the pervasively Spanish-speaking staff makes me think it's worth a shot the next time we're in town. 5 stars, no complaints. Walking distance from the Best Western (which I decidedly would not recommend... but if you end up there, at least Amigos is right across the parking lot).

We travel through…read moreCentralia often, and this used to be one of our favorite places to go, but we probably won't go back soon. The service the last few times wasn't great, and the food quality varies a lot. For Takeaway they add extra fees that aren't disclosed prior to ordering, and then food portions are about 50% of the restaurant plate at full dine-in price. The last time we tried takeaway was on our way home the week of Valentine's. Even though they were slow when we ordered, we waited over 20m when we got there to pick it up, and the person ringing us up told us twice there's a tip line. We both got the Arroz con Pollo, and it came with chips and salsa, but the salsa container was less than half full and didn't go very far. The dinners came in very small aluminum to-go trays that were maybe 6x10". They had about 1/2" of rice across the bottom and mine had 7 small chicken strips. My husbands had a couple more strips. I can never finish the dish when we dine in, but ate the to go easily. My husband ate his and then started raiding the fridge for something else to eat. Usually we'd eat there every couple weeks, but after Valentine's, we took a little break and dined in again a couple weeks ago. I got the pineapple chicken fajitas, which were fresh, perfectly cooked and really excellent with a generous portion. My husband got the paella, but the meat was really stringy and tough, and the rice was very dry with almost no cheese sauce. The cheese sauce that was there was a weird dark brown, didn't taste good, and made him uncomfortable. When he asked the server about fixing it, he kept shrugging like he didn't understand, then said "kitchen is closed, that is all" and walked away, even though it was only a few minutes after 9, and they were open for almost another hour. (He does speak excellent English, we heard him with other tables.) After that, we sat with empty cups and didn't see him again until he handed us our bill. Over the years we've been pretty happy eating there, and had the occasional hiccup like a forgotten drink or our order getting lost in the kitchen on a busy night, but those things were rare, the staff took care of them quickly, and the food was good. These last two trips were really disappointing, though.

The food was really good and the service was really good too. I'm excited to go back and try other…read moremenu items.
