Authentic food. Friendly service. We stayed in Ruskin down at the resort, but were looking for some other food options and this came up on Yelp. Our group of 8 was very happy with our experience. This place isn't glamorous, but you'll get some amazing food. Fresh chips (still warm) and salsa for the table when you sit down. You can get water or soda or you can bring your own adult beverages (we brought some beer and wine). Entrees come with salad, rice, and beans. The salad is just some shredded lettuce, but the rice and beans are great. Red spanish rice and your choice of refried or charro beans. The charro beans were almost the best part of the meal. Slighty salty, cooked with bacon and onion I think. I ordered the tamales and my husband had the chicken tacos. I was expecting two tamales, but actually got three. So yummy. And way too much food - I had to box my third tamale up to take with me. Others around the table tried the burrito, the enchiladas, and then three had the chef's special. For the special you can pick your choice of any three entrees to sample, or have the chef pick for you - they opted to have the chef pick and all seemed to like their selection (tostada, enchilada, and the third I can't recall). The server also brought some sauces for us to try - a very very very spicy red sauce and a green cream sauce. The red sauce had a great kick, but I preferred the green sauce - the spice was more subtle and it went perfectly with my tamales. Two in our party are gluten intolerant. Though the server wasn't sure what that means, they made sure to order corn tortillas and avoid other things that might be cross contaminated. One of them (my husband) also has to avoid dairy (and some other things). Neither of them seemed to have any reactions, so the kitchen did a good job of keeping everything separated. Lastly, you can't really beat the price - it was less than $80 for 8 adults with only one person ordering a la carte instead of an entree. Wow. We all agreed that if it hadn't been our last evening in town, we would have come back over the restaurants over at the resort. read more

Don't let the look of the restaurant fool you! Fantastic food, friendly staff, and yummy margaritas!

So few legit good Mexican places in Florida - glad to find this one. Happened to be in Ruskin and figured I'd give this place a shot. Easy to miss. It's a dingy strip mall. The first thing I usually go by in determining if I'm going to like a Mexican restaurant is the chips and salsa. They were terrible. Horrible. Bland. Tasteless. Garbage. I was so disappointed. My hopes were sky high after seeing the rating this place had. Fortunately the meal more than made up for it. I ordered mixed fajitas. They were excellent. You're brought a couple different sauces to use with them. If you like hot and spicy, you've met your match. Use the sauce sparingly until you can gauge your tolerance level. The refried beans were great. Portion size is huge. $14 for the dish I had could easily feed two. Service was a little spotty but friendly. It's not fancy by any means. And it's no Miguel's on Kennedy. But it's really good. By Florida standards, great. It's just those darn chips were so disappointing, I can't give it a 5th star. read more

Great find for us. Thank you yelpers. The tacos are amazing. The family loved them. Fresh squeezed lemonade was perfect on a hot day.

Awesome local Mexican place. Very kind and knowledgeable staff. They explained the different types of chile sauces and their flavors for my husband's enchilada. He opted for the green sauce. I got the chicken flautas. Both dishes came with fresh, crisp, clean lettuce, tomato and avocado slices. It's refreshing to see fresh produce used. I'll never eat salad dishes from chains (Applebee's, chili's etc) again after getting sick of them multiple times. They gave us free thick chips that I think are small tortillas fried and cut up. They may have been a bit old but thats no biggie to me. Everything tasted authentic and very fresh. We loved it. The place reminded me of the little mom n pop joints I used to go to as a kid in Puerto Rico. We'll def go back. read more

***Temporary review**** I will place another review when your waitstaff doesn't ignore me. Gotta be able to order food and eat it to give an honest review. Right?!?!! Maybe it was just a bad day for her. We all have them. I will return soon. read more

Love the food and they have the best server. She makes me laugh and is so caring. Great margaritas too. Have never had a meal that was not delicious. read more

Real deal Mexican! Plain looking storefront but clean and neat inside. Our table had tacos, green enchiladas, tostado, and tamales. All were delicious! Charro beans are out of this world. Horchata was tasty and authentic. Our server was patient answering our questions and made sound recommendations. The only hiccup was paying, as the register was busy with dine in and carry out customers. Plus we waited for our tab, only to find out they don't bring them to the table, you just go pay. Would be good if the server told us that. Otherwise, a great experience - highly recommended. read more

This place is the best for authentic Mexican food if you're headed somewhere on i-75 near Tampa. It's located about 3 miles off the interstate. But, worth the drive. At the waitress's suggestions my husband and I slipt the combination plate. Although we don't normally eat meat when a server tells me what to do, I feel compelled to do it. Can't remember all the things on the combination plate due the Mexican food coma I'm in right now, but everything was good. We also had a side of guacamole, which was fresh and yummy. Another Yepler recommended the guacamole, and I must second this recommendation. read more

Everything we ordered was so good! Pineapple Water, Cantaloupe Water, Beef Nachos were delicious!

I was here for dinner night before last. I seated myself and was provided menu within minutes. Chips and salsa arrived and my order was taken. I ordered chicken enchiladas in red sauce, charro beans, rice and a small salad. The chips were not warm or salted, were heavy and slightly greasy. The salsa had good flavor. My meal arrived pretty quickly. The enchiladas were small, without much filling, but had good flavor and we're freshly made. I was brought a mild and a hot sauce in soup cup sized containers that were more than 1/2 full. (I hope they don't reuse them from customer to customer.) Dinner was OK. I guess I expected more with so many stars in their rating. Good value for the price. read more

Very authentic Al Pastor and Barbacoa and some of the best charra beans I've ever had. Prices were very reasonable. Great find!

I have found the best Mexican restaurant in the area. The food was authentic and fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful I had the tamales, my wife the enchiladas and chicken breast, our dinner guest has the tacos and enchiladas. All of us agreed the food was superb. They serve homemade chips with two homemade sauces. The dinners come with rice and the best charro beans I have ever had. Beer and wine are available, soda's by the can or bottle. I highly recommend this little hidden gem. read more

Love this place. Very good food and very pleasant courteous wait staff. We have been a few times and always leave satisfied. They offer many authentic dishes not found in the chain restaurants. Always cold beer and a great food. read more

It's the best example of authentic mexican cuisine in the area. the seafood entres are awesome.

Little hole in the wall restaurant in a strip mall. Immediate impression was that the furnishings were not high end, but well kept and the dining area is very clean. The place has an authentic vibe, with frequent dine in and take out customers conversing in Spanish. Some times in a place such as this, non Spanish speakers can feel intimidated. On the contrary, our waitress was bi lingual, extremely friendly, and was glad to help us make our choices. The food came quickly, well presented and delicious. Will definitely return. read more

I will never go back to Los Amigos Restaurant again. The service was terrible, our waitress took a very long time just bringing the water, I saw a bug crawling on the floor and our waitress started picking up our plates before we were finished. She cleared the table while we were still sitting there talking. Very rude. I have never posted a negative comment but this really bothered me read more

This is a true Mexican restaurant. If your looking for Taco Bell, or Chili's food, well... you're going to be in for a surprise. I personally want to know that my ethnic food is being prepared and served to folks from that region. That tells me the food should be authentic to the country, and thats what you get with Los Amigos. This is one of our local places we always go to on nights that I need a good adult beverage to accompany some awesome Mexican food. We are always up to trying something new, and the waitresses are very helpful explaining items on the menu to us. Haven't been disappointed yet. read more

Tha absolute best Mexican restaurant that I have ever eaten in. The wait staff is fantastic, especially Laura!!

Delicioso! Our group had five different dinners and they were all excelente! Enchiladas Suizas were creamy and delicious. The rice was seasoned perfectly very tasty. Los frijoles charros had nice chunks of savory pork, shrimp, beef and chicken with juicy bell peppers and onions. One of the best Mexican meals I have eaten. Stop in and enjoy. Provecho! read more

Came at 5:20 on a Saturday night it was packed sat at one of the only open tables for 20 minutes. no one even came to our table or greeted us. Not safe for covid actually started having a panic that the tables are crammed in there like sardines very small. no one was wearing masks not even the cooks or waitresses and they have wine based margaritas.. so we ended up getting up and leaving. read more

We finally decided to start exploring Ruskin after living here for quite some time. I had a chicken quesadilla and my wife had beef enchiladas. She really enjoyed her enchiladas and my quesadilla was pretty good, but the cheese seemed a little weird. The server was really friendly and I will be coming back and trying the rest of the menu. read more
