Had Los Amigos on Tuesday night for dinner. Very nice Mexican Food place on Mast Blvd. I had a Carne Asado burrito that was huge! I finished the whole thing but it is plenty big enough to save for the next day. My wife also had the surf 'n turf burrito which was excellent as well. read more

The food is great if you get what you order and even better if it's prepared the way you order it! But that seems to be pretty far stretch for the people working the day I was there! They tried to double charge me! Then when I said something, the old lady that sits around and scowls at everybody snapped and blamed it on the cook! When she handed me my tacos, I unwrapped them. One of them was supposed to have sour cream! I could not see any sour cream at all, but in all fairness, I did not have my glasses on! When I asked her about the sour cream, she started yelling at the cook, and then he got angry! It was quite an experience for a two beef taco order! After she handed me the order I didn't even check the tacos. I just gladly grabbed my bag and went home! When I opened the bag, all I could see was sour cream! It was excessively poured all over! Boy, she sure showed me! I tried to call Los Amigos but the phone line was busy! I believe that she knew what she did and had no desire to answer the phone! I drove back to the taco place to ask if she could correct it? But instead of doing anything to make it right at this point! She got the cash out of the cash register, walked over drop the cash in my hand and held the door open for me and told me never come back! Gladly, I would never wanna go through this again for a taco. This is absolutely craziness! I know they've got orders wrong before a few times and really it's not a big deal! This lady literally made it a very big deal! And if that wasn't unprofessional enough? Then she tried yelling. God bless you to me! Really? I am very disappointed in the professionalism that this woman showed from the very beginning! Gaslighting me about overcharging me, about what was on the taco and who prepared them! I'm shocked that they've been in business this long! My advice to anyone who eats here is check what you ordered before you leave! If something is wrong just take the mistake and go! You're better off! Trust me! Customer service! Communication between your workers! Don't argue about overcharging people! And kindness to your clients that's what you can improve! Don't embarrass yourself and blame everybody else besides yourself! A little bit of kindness could've went a long way in this situation! We all have bad days at work, but that's no excuse to act rude and spiteful when you're supposed to be representing the place you work for! After all, it's just a taco! Not rocket science! read more

We were in the area and hungry for some Mexican food. I got a California burrito. It was big and tasty! We also got a carnitas taco and an al pastor taco. Again they were big and loaded with meat, very tasty. The staff were friendly. I'll definitely come back to try more. read more

I really love the Los Amigos Special, the crispy beef taco is cooked just right, the crunchy taquitos are delicious with the guacamole, and the rich smokey flavor of the beans on the tostada was like discovering tostadas all over again. Their salsas are very good too, I prefer the green. The staff has always been friendly to me. I see some reviews that say the staff was rude, I think some people get what they project. If you treat people nicely, you get that in return. ¡Via Los Amigos! read more

Los Amigos Taco Shop is a solid choice in Santee. The carne asada tacos are tasty, and the portions are decent. Service is quick and friendly. Nothing mind-blanding, but gets the job done. 3.5/5 stars. read more

Probably my favorite taco shop in east county. Came where with my buddies. We started things by getting their potato rolled tacos they were yummy. Then I got their Diablo shrimp burrito. It was so good. I put all the sauce over it in my mouth was burning. Definitely a good spice. My buddy got two fish tacos and he said there is some of the most flavored fish tacos he ever had and the fish they put in the tacos were huge.! I also got a chill Rayeno my first time ever having a chili Reyano , and it was fire!!! My buddies both shared the surf and turf fries they loved it. read more

The food here is phenomenal and very well priced compared to what you get! They aren't chincy with their servings by any means! I can't eat one of their burritos in one serving. Same with the tacos unless I'm starved. read more

Los Amigos Mexican Food - Menu as of March 12th 2025 with new prices. - Mexican Near Me - Santee, California

Rueben was great recommended the Surf and Turf and even switched out the sour cream for guacamole. The service is top-notch here quick easy friendly have choices of salsa mild green habanero I like mild and holy shit is delicious how you recommend this place faster Friendly can't beat the prices. This is the perfect hole in the wall Mexican spot but it's clean. It's not a hole in the wall they're open Monday Through Saturday 9 to 9. The rice is delicious. The shrimp is delicious. The meat is delicious. The cheese is perfect and the guacamole flavorful it's really good the trip bounce well also really good sign that is constantly busy. This place is a must come if you're ever in the area they serve Pepsi products, also, which is a plus. read more

liked this place until i bit into a chicken rolled taco that had literal green and blue colored meat inside. I wanted to die after I saw, luckily it was my first bite. I took it back and they had nothing to say... refunded me only the food but still charged me for my small drink lol. read more

Food is amazing!! Carne Asada is tasty and tender. Every item I tasted so far has been delicious. read more

Food was very good. Only complaint was the customer service I received when asking for more hot sauce. It was as if I said something out of hand and got a weird nasty face. I would go back just hopefully next time they have a better attitude read more

I'm pleasantly surprised by the size and presentation of the surf & turf fries. The shrimp were actually cooked really well. I'm impressed and would recommend this order. The clerk was curt with me but did seem very friendly to other customers. That is the only reason I'd give Los Amigos a 4 and not a 5. I would eat here again. read more

This place is amazing. They have the best chicken rolled tacos I have ever had. The prices are great too. A must try.

Everything I come to expect from a hole in the wall Mexican food stop. Amazing presentation, real Avocado guacamole, and Kearny Sada burritos decides your forearm. It's hard to find but it's there if you get a Hankering for some rolled taco, this is a good place. Can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

3rd try. Blandest dryest Mexican I've ever had. I even got the burrito wet and put all the salsas on they gave. Even the "this is the spicy one," was bland. Won't be coming back read more

The carne asada burrito was solid. However, i did not really like the red hot sauce. It had an odd initial taste to me and was not spicy at all. read more

The guy in the front is so rude to customers. Horrible customer service. I used to work in a restaurant for 12 years and this is the worst customer service. Very rude read more

Went here and got a bean, cheese, and rice burrito and hot carrots. Most of the beans were whole and tasted straight out of a can, and the burrito was mostly flavorless, with whatever flavor was present being quite unpleasant. I tried to add some seasoning and the salsa verde to improve the flavor, but the unpleasant aftertaste persisted, the salsa verde had absolutely zero flavor and was just spice. The hot carrots were mushy and not spicy whatsoever. There are so many other good places locally, don't waste your time and money going here and pick one of the many other local places. read more

So I've have eaten here about 2 other times. With the wide selection of Mexican to go places in santee, I usually am willing to try out any new places. The first 2 times I went here the food was pretty good. My wife and I have had the carne asada burrito and carne asada fries. Today we got the California burrito. Came home and opened the bag to find the tortilla was burned and hard as a taco shell. We live less then 5 min from this place. Then she cut it in half to share it with me and we could tell the fries were burnt. They actually were hard as a rock. I ended up taking the carne asada and topping and putting it into my own tortilla to try to salvage the burrito. My wife took a bite and tossed It in the trash. We ended up ordering dominos. We should of went back and got a refund but just felt It wasn't worth the trouble with having 2 babies at home. It will be the last time we order from Them. read more

I'll echo the consensus. This is a hole-in-the-wall taco shop in a nondescript strip mall. There's no drive-thru. No salsa bar. There's no cutie 3.14 working the cash register (or at least the one time I visited, but that's neither here nor there). But wait. The locals know what's up as I noticed work trucks and other vehicles parking up front as the lunch rush began. The phone also began ringing as the regulars were calling in their food orders. People have their go-to favorites, whether in burrito or taco form, so I asked the guy which was better today, either carne asada or the carnitas, to help me narrow down my decision. He did not steer me wrong. I went with a carnitas plate and it was a tasty lunch, plus leftovers for later. I'm still trying to fight off the afternoon food coma. It was a generous portion of tasty carnitas with all the fixins and choice of tortillas. I opted for corn tortillas, a piping hot, rolled up bundle of four. Eat them while they're fresh since they dry out relatively quick. The rolled tacos are pretty good too. The 5-rolled taco special from the menu board is a satisfactory snack. I also noticed a kids menu, so Mini-me can get something next time. Yep, there will be a next time ;) read more

I really enjoy a good breakfast burrito and this little Mexican eatery sure makes a great one. For $4.99 cents you can either have a ham, bacon, or sausage with scramble eggs, cheese, and breakfast potatoes, but I axed the potatoes and added ham and bacon so the price came to $6 and some change with the tax. The breakfast burrito was not only large and generously filled, and best of all, it tasted great (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/los-amigos-santee?select=nJv-z0h7FEJ_PhZdxH_Rvw#dKPQBRMPAyRS2xL-3r555g). The scrambled eggs were fluffy and moist, and the ham was tender with some very crispy bacon all throughout the burrito (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/los-amigos-santee?select=nJv-z0h7FEJ_PhZdxH_Rvw#E0XyMF9PjvDkBwPyEsk7Mw). The flour tortillas tightly wrapped around the burrito's ingredients, which made it easy to handle and had a nice butter texture. I tried both the house red and green hot sauce and the red sauce was my favorite because had very good flavor and nice bite. The place is family owned and they are quite nice here. They also make soups, but they are not on the menu for some reason. Quite the filling delicious breakfast burrito... read more

This place used to be great. Now they have horrible food and horrible portions. I got like 3 strands of lettuce on my rolled tacos. Why bother putting any at all. Than I was charged for 8 oz sides of both beans and rice and got no where near 8 oz of each just put into a large flat container all together. Last time going here. Back to Estradas I go! PS, The owner is grumpy and mean, not welcoming at all. I love when his wife is there, she is sweet as pie and makes sure my potato rolled tacos are made to perfection each and every time read more

Won't bother with this place again- this USE to be our go to Mexican food place but, it definitely lost its appeal. The quality of food in addition to the increase of prices is def not worth it. In addition to the not so favorable location and people that hang around it. Def a disappointment. Santee has lots of great Mexican food shops with better prices. I can't believe we paid 8.00 dollars a burrito... & that was for basic breakfast burrito potatoes, eggs, cheese and some mushy bacon. The machaca was just a machaca - YEP! $8.00 for a mediocre burrito crazy times - read more

Los Amigos Mexican Food - $8.00 a burrito for potatoes, egg & some mushed up bacon ... no thanks! - Mexican Near Me - Santee, California

Not enforcing mask mandate. Any place like that is not worthy in my opinion of being open. Do better. Just terrible

Staff was friendly, good prices. I was disappointed w the supreme nachos, they were more satisfactory nachos. The guacamole was on one side, sour cream on another and not much carne asada, so you had to work to get a taste of everything on one chip. But I will go back and try other dishes. read more

Absolutely the best Californian burritos in East County! I've brought a lot of friends in here to try the CAB and no one has been disappointed. It goes great with their awesome green sauce. Kid meals are filling and reasonably priced. Only downside is the tiny interior for inside dining. Most people seem to do take away. read more

This is our regular taco shop for Santee. Tried, Leo's, fernys, Santana's, and two places on the west side. Los Amigos is the best. If we want to splurge $, Cazadores is a little better quality. Only downside is red salsa is not our favorite at Los Amigos. We are used to the Clairemont Cotixan habanero/orange base Salsa which is the best. Los Amigos Rocks!! read more

Got Togo order with carne asada fries, a plate of 3 tacos Al pastor and a sultan's burrito for the wife. The 3 tacos were pretty good and was the highlight of this meal for me but then the carne asada fries was atrocious - the fries were brown and hard/stall which tells me they were old and refried. Basically had to throw it the asada fries away and left hungry with just the 3 tacos. Would give the place a 2 for serving those asada fries but decided the tacos made up an extra star. read more

First time here. Ordered two different burritos and a combo special. The carnitas burrito was a decent size and there were some nice crunchy bits included. The Machaca burrito was also good although I've had more meat at other places. Service was great, friendly and fast. I will be back. read more
