El Amigo Tacos and Mexican Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Love the food! Great vibe! And very speedy service! A very good place for any occasion
I just happened to spot this place while driving by so I stopped in for lunch. It has jumped to the top of my best tacos in wny. I got the mix street tacos with an asada, chorizo, carnitas, and al pastor. I was blown away and their extra hot salsa from the salsa bar left my mouth burning while being absolutely delicious. If you like tacos you MUST come here
Good was very authentic. Owner is very attentive and kind. Highly recommend coming here for amazing service and authentic Mexican food.
Very small but cute, like a 50's diner with Mexican decor! Nothing fancy but good food. A no frills approach! Service was great! Will try again
Cute , clean , welcoming, friendly service, authentic place! Great margarita's !! I got the burrito with all the meats - it was a great size with a good amount of everything, meats, beans, rice lettuce and probably more . very delicious!! The wife got the Chimachunga it was even better, crispy, cheesy loaded ! Like I said friendly warm service!!! Will definitely return soon with the family!!!
This place was amazing! The service was great and the employees were so friendly. The food was delicious! Very authentic and fresh! Cute diner atmosphere inside. Best Mexican food we have had in the area by far! We can't wait to return for more!
Ahhhhh! Trying to beat the Cinco de Mayo celebration on Sunday, I decided to make a stop here at one of the most delicious true Mexican restaurants around. The ambiance makes you feel welcomed and at home. It's a great place to come with friends, but I was just getting out of work and it's just as good without! Less talking, more eating! The food is outstanding and my favorite is the steak sopas with beans and rice ... I am now stuffed and ready to go home and relax without the stress of cooking..
The tacos were great! And service was excellent. also ordered a margarita which was delicious. The atmosphere was comfortable and I can't wait to go back!
Small little family Mexican place and it was amazing! We love Mexican food so we are always skeptical after a bunch of bad places. This place is probably one of our top 2 ever!!!!! Steak fajitas and the toppings were a huge amount, the chicken quesadilla was the best one I've had ever;) they have a sauce/toppings bar that's really good. Margarita was very good as well. No complaints at all here.
Stopped by El Amigo for lunch as it's right around the corner from my house. Warmly greeted when I entered and seated myself. Great little place that screams authentic. ( And I spent alot of time in Mexico many years ago and have eaten in many REAL mexican restaurants ) Certainly not fancy but when you walk in you could definitely feel like you just walked into a street cantina in Mexico. Order the 4 Mini Street Tacos. Very Fresh, Very tasty and the toppings bar was filled with fresh ingredients. If you like Authenticity in your Mexican food this is definitely worth trying
