We are from San Diego where Mexican food abounds and we were completely taken aback about how great the food is here at Los Amigos Del Sur! My husband is a native Californian and remarked that his Carne Asada enchilada was the best he has ever had as it had such an incredible amount of complexity in its flavor. I had the Pollo Poblano and although somewhat rich from the cream sauce (as expected), it too, had a distinct true poblano flavor. The guacamole is chunky and delicious as well. They have a full bar all within a very clean and casual atmosphere. The service was excellent and we will definitely be coming back here again to enjoy authentic Mexican food! read more

Best Mexican food in town. This is a little gem hidden inside of the main mall and it's amazing. Service is always amazing- staff is welcoming and does a wonderful job. Takeout always takes 20mins or less and they never disappoint! Highly recommended. read more

So good! The location is great, the food is delicious and Tonny makes the best drinks! So far, the fajita salad is my favorite thing I've had there, but really it's all delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Los Amigos Del Sur - Mexican Near Me - Durango, Colorado

See all

I was downtown hoping to check out a new taco place that had just opened up. When I got there the inside was packed full so I walked down Main Street looking for other options. Inside the downtown Durango mall I discovered Los Amigos Del Sur. There was one other small group inside the restaurant. We were helped right away and given the usual chips and salsa which were as expected. The waiter was kind and super helpful with accommodating our dietary issues. The food came hot and fast and it was seriously on point the margaritas were great too. This place seems to be run by a very close knit group of people that really know what they're doing! It was so good, I had to go back not even a week later with my parents! If you're looking for authentic, high quality Mexican food, you need to be eating here. read more

My favorite is the Kevin's spicy cucumber Margarita! Ask Tony to make is spicy! Best bloody Mary's too!

Los Amigos has delicious, authentic Mexican food with very friendly service and very fair prices. It's a comfortable atmosphere and the bar does a good job too. We're there a lot! One of our favorites! read more

When GPS took me here I didn't expect it to be inside a mall. Then I was surprised by the quaint interiors of the mall. Finally I was surprised this place was from the looks of it the only operating business in the mall. Very interesting experience. Choices were ample and quality was solid. Ordered a shrimp cocktail with raw oysters, an assorted seafood dish cooked with hot red sauce, and carne asada. Nothing exceptional but all of them was tasty. This is a place I do not love to death but would go regularly if I were a Durango local. read more

The fajitas were excellent. This place had the best food I had eaten since I had been in Colorado. My kids even ate their food. You have to try this place. read more

Fantastic service by Deana. Be sure to get the queso. It will feed a crowd! Authentic food. Tortillas were fresh. Salsa very good. Chips were a little cold and not fresh. Atmosphere was ordinary. read more

Realistically, it's one of the best Mexican Restaurants in the area. Reasonably priced and great service make this place a goto for my wife and I. read more

We were exhausted from a long day of travel and simply wanted some comfort mexican food. We wandered here and ordered take away. We had the Kevin special margarita while we waited and it was excellent. After inquiring about the name of the cocktail,we learned of the story. With all our hearts, please patronize this restaurant. Well beyond good food lies the best in people. The entire city of Durango is supporting this restaurant for a reason. When you visit, ask for a Kevin margarita. I wish I could have known him. read more

Fast service and good food. I just like my Mexican food spicier. They brought out chips plus beans and salsa. Beans must have been amazing as my husband finished them off quickly. Red sauce was good - again I like it spicier than most. My husband had a torts and I had tostadas. Both were freshly prepared. Plenty of food. read more

I had the Especial Los Amigos and it was excellent, the mole was some of the best I have had and the service was really great and friendly, all in all I recommend this place for great mexican food. read more

Don't be put off by the location! I had the Pollo ala Crema and it's amazing. The margarita was huge and very good. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Five stars for what it is, a good small/cheap Mexican restaurant. Super friendly family that runs the place. Chips and salsa were accompanied by beans to dip in which wins some points in my book. The plates were huge. Tacos were over flowing with meat. Overall quite tasty and I left happy. read more

This was excellent. Great service. Had the pork tacos. They were the right spiciness and a mojito. Great

We had one of the seafood dishes; it was fantastic and traditional!!! SPICEY!!! Proud to have this restaurant in our community!!

Wonderful service and even better food at a reasonable price. Not the tourist food that encompasses Durango just a nice, clean, fresh, delicious, authentic Mexican restaurant that caters to the locals. Check this place out and support an honest local restaurant! It's in the downtown mall in the back main level. read more

I would not give this little Mexican cafe more than a 2 star rating. The help is kind and the food is marginal. The place is small and just ok. read more

My husband ordered the tacos and they were pretty good. However, I ordered the Chicken Fajita Taco Salad. I refer to the term Rubber Chicken. That is what it felt and feasted like. My comment to the response is: I did let the server know and she went back to the kitchen and all I heard was laughing. No apology and no offer to make it right. read more

This place is amazing!!! Very authentic, amazing food. Cute atmosphere and friendly service. I will definitely be back.

Do not waste your time or money! Came here last minute to get out of a rain storm...ordered one watermelon margarita (spicy) and one regular. The watermelon margarita was NOT drinkable. It tasted like cleaning fluids mixed with crushed Tylenol. I tried to politely send it back (and to be honest...I don't think I have EVER sent back a drink before...if I was ever in prison I would probably be cool with drinking hand sanitizer for a nice buzz) but this was BAD. The waitress was understanding and went to tell the bartender I would like to send my FULL drink back and he said "TOO BAD, SHE ORDERED IT". I just wanted to switch it for something drinkable. They threw away my full drink, refused to refund me or replace it, then charged me for the modelo on draft I ordered to get the horrific taste out of my mouth. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GO HERE. Also the beef in the tacos was really chewy and it was dirty inside (but that was the least of my problems) - besides for not taking a picture of the brown sludge "spicy watermelon margarita" they refused to replace.... Go somewhere else! read more

This place will surprise you. The Mexican food here comes out nice and hot(in temperature) and stays hot. So you know nothing is nuked. The food is cooked perfectly and the seasoning is excellent. While it lacks ambience it's almost better that way because it's quiet and low key and in a small town that actually a very nice thing. The best part is the price is great for the quality. This place is head and shoulders better than Taco Nayarit in price, quality and service and there's no wait! The owner is the nicest guy you will meet. read more

My family ate here while on our summer vacation in Durango. Everyone loved what they got. Portions were big and margaritas were huge! Very good and good service. read more

Sarah is awesome! Very professional and makes the experience tens times better! We will keep coming back here as long as Sarah works there. Great food and great atmosphere. read more

This little place is our new favorite Mexican food restaurant! They do Cochinita Pibil and Barbacoa like nobody's business. But the best thing is the service. Mama B (of Fransico's fame) and Sara (best Michelada EVER) make it a wonderful experience every time we go! Try the burger or the tacos with your choice of meat! My dad doesn't like Mexican food so he always gets the pancakes, lol. Durango is very much a word of mouth town, so spread the word! read more

Food was good, service was slow but understaffed. Be aware that advertised prices on wall are not necessarily what you will be charged. Will try this place again. read more

Not sure how this place gets 4 1/2 stars. Staff was super friendly and attentive but food was not on par with 4 stars. I might have given 3 stars for that but given the current rating, food is nowhere close to 4 star. Beans were bland. Enchiladas were ok. Chips/salsa were maybe average. read more

Restaurant in a mall. Single server very overworked and service slow. Food decent but not more. There are probably better options.

This was our second choice for dinner and boy, did the other restaurant being closed work out for us! All the meats were incredibly flavorful (I had street tacos, my husband had the carne asada plate). Friendly service and quick food made this the perfect stop with our toddler and the spicy cucumber margarita was the icing on top. A hidden gem for sure! read more

Great food and margaritas, really nice staff, it's a mall location but with big heart

A wonderful small place near the back of the Main street mall. Friendly and fast service, decent prices, medium-to-large portion sizes, amazing food. The pollo mole poblano was great enough to be nostalgia-inducing - thought of my abuela's cooking. The owners have been at it for many years, so they know what they're doing. read more

We ate here yesterday because Gazpachos our favorite Mexican restaurant was closed for remodeling. This restaurant was a letdown. We ordered Barbacoa. It turned out to just be roast beef prepared with a Barbacoa type sauce. It was not authentic Barbacoa. The food was not terrible but it certainly was not the best Mexican food that I've had. read more

By far the best Margarita in town! Plus fresh, amazing food and great service. Authentic Mexican food with flavors like no other. Great service which is a rarity in Durango. read more

Great food great service. I eat a lot of Mexican style food and this place is great. I say 5 out of 5 easy. The especial los amigos was awesome! read more

Although we arrived 15 minutes before they close, they still served us. The food was great, tasteful, fresh and with proportion.

We loved Los Amigos!. The waitress was very helpful to let us know all about their wonderful food. Tony made us the best margarita ever. It was a cucumber jalapeno margarita , he named it the Kevin margarita. We will definitely be back when we're in town. read more

One of the freshest margaritas to date. Also a great deal during happy hour!! Wonderful food and Sara the bartender and server was extremely helpful and friendly. read more

Secret locals spot exceeds expectations every time.

Do not miss this gem hidden away in the back of the Main Mall. read more
