Just average. The restaurant looked like it needed a makeover. It looks like the original furniture. The serving size is definitely small. I finally had to say something. The way it works is you select the type e of entree. I selected a burrito. Then you select the type of rice, beans and toppings. It looked like he was trying for small portions. The woman was eating at the register. It was certainly not very professional. I would try someplace else. read more

Delicious food, maybe a bit too spiced (salt, heat, etc) Generous portions, fast friendly service, and a bustling warm eat-in area. Definitely better than your average burrito place. read more

Got take out for lunch and it wasn't too busy. Got the amigos style fish tacos. Comes with 2 pieces. Plentiful amount of tilapia pieces so was pretty filling. The sauce, lime and pickled onions went well. Clean inside with good amount of tables seatings. read more

Be very careful here, they will add extra upcharges to your meal without advising you, then not offer a receipt. I had to ask 3 times for a receipt, and when I finally got a print out and complained, the manager just shrugged and offered no help. Although the food is not bad, the surley service and this habit of slipping in extras makes me not want to return. IF YOU VISIT, ASK FOR A RECEIPT! read more

my wife didn't really enjoy her "California" burrito because the chicken was hard/ chewy. My Baja tacos were good, until I chipped a tooth on something in the guac or the taco! read more

The food here was pretty good I ate a burrito and it was better than I expected. The menu has some unique burrito toppings potato that I haven't seen before and it was such a pleasant surprise. However for 11 dollars for a small burrito it was a little expensive and the burrito fell apart at the seams really easily. Nevertheless the food was really good and I would recommend. I also enjoyed the wall art and thought it added plenty personality to the restaurant. read more

Pretty great burrito! I placed a mobile order and it was ready about five minutes early, which was a nice surprise. I ate at home , but from what I saw, Los Amigos seems like an awesome spot for a quick meal or even a casual date. I got the chicken burrito and will definitely order it again. My only complaint is that I wish there'd been a little more sour cream- but that's on me for not adding extra :) read more

I will never eat here again, and regret having eaten here in the first place. After ordering, sitting, and having only one bite left of my mango salsa shrimp tacos (which were yummy, btw) i was waiting for my friend to finish her burrito.... When I looked up to see the crew REMOVING AIR VENTS RIGHT NEXT TO OPEN CONTAINERS OF FOOD. They pulled one down, I thought, okay, maybe an issue... then a second, and a third. GROSS. The staff person sets them down AND THEN RETURNS TO CLEAN MORE!!He climbs up on a ladder, merely two feet from the open serving containers of lettuce, beans, tomatoes, chicken, etc. and begins to spray and clean the vent hood. DISGUSTING. GROSS. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Super yummy plantain burritos! All the flavors work well together! A lot of food at a fair price! We really enjoyed our lunch! Delivered hot and on time! read more

Food excellent ...best burritos in the area. Moved into Bigger space. Lots of high school kids around lunch time read more

I'm pretty much a skip on this place. Don't bother ordering a 12.5" tortilla versus the standard 10.5" tortilla. While it may be larger, the filings and portion sizes are the same. You'd figure they would give more chicken, rice, etc on a large tortilla but it seems as though the portion size is the same. I'd pass on the chips and guacamole. Not very inspiring and the chips were not very good. read more

Hits all the spots!! My order: coconut shrimp burrito. (both times). Note: both times I've eaten here, it was through delivery. The coconut shrimp burrito was just what I needed when I didn't want to get out of my PJs. I have never had a coconut shrimp burrito, and my first (and second) did not disappoint. The coconut shrimp did have a slight difficulty holding their crunchy texture, but I'm sure this is due to the time lag during delivery (no "points" deducted). The online ordering was easy to customize your burrito, and they executed each order perfectly. I also want to commend them for wrapping the burrito in such a way it did not make a mess, even when I ate it in bed. All in all, this is likely going to become one of my go-to places. I recommend it for anyone looking to try something good! read more

Los Amigos Taqueria - Coconut Shrimp Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Great local burrito restaurant! They always have quick service and the restaurant is very clean!

A co-worker who eats lunch here regularly recommended this place. It does not disappoint. I had the Plantain burrito. It was huge. The sauces are spicy but not overpowering. The plantain is perfectly cooked, soft, sweet, and delicious. I had chips and guacamole as a side. You can always tell a good Mexican place by the guacamole, and this was good. Even better was the fact that their chips are perfect. The staff was friendly, efficient, and focused. I took mine to go, it there were plenty of tables, even during lunch time. read more

Great taste but it has been slipping in quality and customer service. The steak is too salty and no one ever picks up the phone for any reason. Still great taste and I love the plantain add on read more

Absolutely amazing food! Very fast and friendly service. Definitely recommend this place!

I've been a customer here for years and the food is always fabulous - but lately, they've started cutting back on quantity noticeably. The last few times I ordered a 12" burrito, what I got was about 50% smaller than what I've received in the past. At first, I thought they had given me a 10" accidentally, but now I realize it's just that they're putting in much less food so they are smaller when folded. My wife got a bowl and had the same experience - noticeably less food than in the past. I've also stopped ordering guacamole and chips because the guacamole is about 6 tablespoons of very mediocre guac and the chips have gotten worse each time. Before the price was very good for what you got - but now it's starting to feel over-priced given how much they cut back. Very disappointing after being a customer for so long. read more

Los Amigos Taqueria - This is the 12" burrito. I believe that they started with a 12" tortilla - but when you put less inside, the end result is a lot smaller. - Mexican Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

No need to listen to these bad reviews, they are plain wrong. This is the best burrito chain in Mass and you can't beat the flavor or size. Unbelievable food and even more unbelievable folks would leave a bad review about this place. read more

Love their burritos and service! Highly recommend f putting plantains in your burrito, they are delicious! They also let me cookie-fy their logo and were super responsive on social media! read more

One of our go to restaurants in the area. This is high quality and delicious Mexican food. My go to is the surf and turf burrito in bowl format. You can't pass up their guac or churros - both are delicious! We typically take to go but the restaurant has great seating and ambiance. The staff is also fantastic! read more

Food was mediocre. Service was some of the worst and rudest I've ever encountered. Will not be back.

Shit was bomb af. Service was top tier... love the ambiance in the place..... would definitely return!

I'm a fan. I've been a customer for years -- and I typically order the same item each time. I request the Surf and Turf burrito, served in a bowl. The primary ingredients are shrimp and steak (duh) and I customize the other toppings as my mood strikes. It's delicious each time. Oh, and you owe it to your tummy to get a side order of fried plantains. They are HUGE and oh so sweet! read more

This has now become one of our go-to places for something quick to order when we don't want to cook or any time we have out of town guests. Everyone who has visited us has loved it! The ability to order ahead and have a bag waiting for you when you arrive is also very convenient. read more

They left out the chips and guacamole. And also did not bother putting in any silverware in my takeout. Bland experience altogether. read more

Los Amigos Taqueria - The tortillas were slimy. The shrimp battered tacos did not look battered at all. - Mexican Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

I absolutely hate writing a review online but I absolutely love the Los amigos west Roxbury location and they are amazing especially for the price. Hopefully this review helps this location realize they're doing something wrong. First mess up- I had to go into the restaurant after I had a long shift so I got Uber eats since I didn't want to drive 15 min there and 15 min back for a burrito bowl. They messed up my order. Literally every aspect of the order was wrong (there was no protein, there were beans when I said no beans, etc) and the "manager" was nowhere to be found when I decided to drive there because I was so annoyed I went to get my money back. I want protein on my burrito- call me crazy. He was not on site and not available to fix problems with customers especially when the employees' English isn't great. This location's food quality is nothing in comparison to West Roxbury and it's so clear manager doesn't care whatsoever. This time around when I gave them a second chance- The rice was crunchy, like how do you mess up rice at a Mexican restaurant? The order was wrong in other ways as well and missing things. The chicken was good but that's about it. I keep giving this place another chance and I have no idea why. Probably go like anywhere else. Anywhere. Else. read more

My family eats here fairly regularly, either in person (when that was possible) or with delivery. The food is good but the preparation is very inconsistent, especially with delivery orders. My son and I really like the burritos and my fiancee likes the tacos. Good flavor and all that jazz. Burrito prices are pretty good; $4 per taco is definitely high. The main issue we have encountered numerous times this year is that orders aren't fulfilled as requested when ordering via DoorDash or any of those places. Toppings have regularly gone missing. Sour cream, corn salsa, lettuce, and other things have all been left out during various orders. The specific app used to order does not make a difference, missing items is not always App 1 or App 2, its all of them so the app itself is not where things are falling apart. Not sure if there are new cooks or where the lack of quality control stems from. Hopefully they resolve this soon as it is something that many other reviewers have noted. read more

Today I ordered a quesadilla and this is by far the worst food I have ever had, and if they're willing to feel comfortable to serving this bullshit I think it's time for restructuring within its company itself read more

A patron of their Newtonville location. The plantain burrito is ridiculously delicious. The plantains are sweet and slightly crispy and are so yummy mixed with the jalapeños and black beans. I get mine without dairy but add salsa roja for extra spice! Everything tasted fresh and delicious and the staff were friendly and kind. The large burrito was super stuffed and so huge! I had about a quarter left for a lil snack later on. Gracias amigos! read more

We've tried ordering online, speaking extremely slowly, and repeating orders, but it dealers choice by whoever is making the food. You're lucky to get 50% of the toppings you order. Update: I ordered a burrito for my son tonight, only to bring it home and find it had no rice in it. Rice. A burrito without rice isn't a burrito. It's a serving of sorrow and resentment wrapped in a tortilla. UPDATE UPDATE: Los amigos is trying an innovative new program where you order one thing and they give you something completely different! You won't find this out until you get home and your son opens the burrito to find an inedible combo of pineapple, beans, and sour cream. you'll then find you can't actually call to resolve the issue because no one answers the phone and the mailbox is full. What's even better is that when you drive all the way back to inform them of the mistake you're met with blind indifference and blank stares. If you ask for a refund you're told "no refund, manager not here". You can ask them to call the manager, Igor, and they claim they have no way of contacting him. "What if the building catches on fire?" *shrug* It's one thing to constantly mess up orders but to have such terrible customer service really is something else. If you're in the area go to tango mango in newton center (dece) or Anna's taqueria in newton highlands (amazing) and spare yourself the shame and humiliation of paying an establishment to make you feel like an idiot. read more

I love love love the variety of options at Los Amigos! I came in to grab burritos to go and was pleasantly surprised at the CYO burrito bar style. They have burritos in 10" and 12", bowls, and quesadillas! I got the 12" and was really stuffed at the end of it. But #noregrets. I went for my own spin on the The Plantain Burrito. It comes plantain, guacamole, and mango salsa. On its own it's amazing but I just added a bunch of the cheeses. I'm cheesy like that. I really like the freshness and quality of the food! And the size is definitely worth the price! read more

Take out tacos, Guac and a burrito. Fiancé was told "look for your own order" for take out. Crap, unimaginative, tasteless food and crap service. I'm not being nice anymore. Covid is not an excuse for poor customer service. Boston food scene is pathetic. Never going back. read more

Los Amigos was a place that my wife and I discovered yesterday, on an improvised visit after the original place that we wanted to go to in the area was closed due to their Sunday hours. Upon walking in we found a small, casual Mexican restaurant in an area of Newton where there's few other options, especially when it comes to Latino fare. The menu itself is pretty basic: burritos, tacos, enchiladas, salads and plates. Nothing crazy but some of the ingredient combinations might surprise you. An example? Sure! How about their mushroom burrito which features... you guessed it... mushrooms! Or their surf & turf burrito which has both steak and shrimp in it. You can also get one with plantains right in it or even potatoes in another. Stop the madness! We promptly placed our order, paid and sat at one of the few seats by the window. The place is tiny and there's very limited seating, for probably about 8-10 people max via one table and a counter that faces the street. I decided, after a bit of indecision, to get an Al Pastor burrito ($6.85) which has marinated grilled pork, pineapple, caramelized onions, Spanish rice, black beans, jack cheese, salsa fresca and romaine lettuce. The wife settled for a chipotle chicken salad ($7.35) which had some shredded chicken, corn, black beans, Tortillas strips, jack cheese, mixed greens and a delicious cilantro-lime vinaigrette. Both came out of the kitchen fairly quickly and tasted very fresh. My burrito was awesome and not too salty, or sweet, which happens frequently with such foods. Her salad looked pretty healthy and both items were devoured in instants. So yeah, they have a pretty decent selection of drinks, a solid, well-executed and fresh menu with a few modern twists but why not 5 stars? Well frankly, the staff is mostly the reason. They brought my wife the wrong salad, and when she mentioned it, they did swap it but didn't apologize and weren't even that nice about it. Frankly, they also seemed a bit cold to us when we walked in. They also had this 'I don't give a shit' attitude that both struck us as odd and a bit disappointing. We wanted to love the place but we'll settle for liking it instead. read more

Los Amigos Taqueria - Chipotle chicken salad - Mexican Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Fresh, affordable food! I ordered a burrito bowl which was good for the most part. The rice was a little bland, didn't have much flavor. However, the regular grilled chicken has a lot of flavor and a little spice to it. I like it with the chipotle crema instead of sour cream. The cotija cheese is worth the extra 60 cents. Ingredients taste and look fresh, unlike some other places (mostly chains like Qdoba) where I have encountered wilted lettuce. I actually like this place better than the famous Felipe's in Harvard Square. Prices are comparable to Chipotle and usually under $10 (all depends on what type of meat you get etc). read more

I asked if they had vegan options. She said no, the rice had chicken stock, the beans had meat in them and the salsa had dairy. So, I couldn't eat here. I would give 0 stars if that was possible. read more

There are many burrito spots around the Boston area and Los Amigos is as good as you're going to get. Dan, the owner, is extremely passionate about his business and product and makes sure to serve only the freshest and tastiest ingredients. After over 10 years of ordering burritos, I know specific ingredients to put in my burrito, but there is a large list of creations for those that aren't familiar with specific ingredients. Personally, I've had the surf and turf which is delicious. As for my burrito, I get cheese, rice, black beans, chicken, salsa (pico de gallo), sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce. I love the blend of the flavors and all the ingredients have life. Both in taste and color, Dan's passion is truly accentuated in the product he serves. The place has a decent amount of seating for the location, but if you're in a rush, you can be in and out in 5 minutes. Obviously, it gets rather busy from 11:30-1 for lunch and 5-7 for dinner, but serving time doesn't slow down much, if at all. read more

Los Amigos Taqueria - Custom burrito (cheese, chicken, rice, black beans, salsa (pico de gallo), sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce) - Mexican Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Food - delicious. I scarfed my burrito down in seconds (I did sit behind the wheel for 4 hours but still) - it was ¡Muy delicioso! I got shrimp with a mango salsa. The shrimp was big and fresh and had a perfect texture. They have a great menu selection - pescetarian/vegetarian friendly. Reasonable prices - my burrito cost about 8 bucks. You can eat in but the place is small and it's mainly window seating. They do have a bathroom in the back. There is a metered public parking lot across the street, behind the bank. The service was just OK. The counter girl wasn't particularly friendly. She never asked if I wanted a drink (in this case, I could have used a reminder plus it's a good business policy). Still the food is so good that I don't care, I'd still come back. read more
