    Tostadas. Corona & burrito. It was a very warm day and I think they need some assistance with the air conditioning. But food was excellent.

    Have been coming here since it opened. It's a treat when I'm back in NWI now since I live in Fl. Best burritos still❤

    Don’t be fooled by the dive-looking ambience. That’s just part of the charm. The steak burritos are superb, and the portions are super-sized so be sure to bring your appetite.

    Try a sope! They are delicious, and El Amigo makes them the best! Also be sure and order horchata for your beverage (it's a traditional Mexican drink that is SO good).

    My favorite place to eat lengua (tongue). If you’ve never tried it, give it a chance in taco form. Soft flavorful meat.

    I love how you can mix and match tacos. 1 avocado and 1 steak is the best!!

    Delicious steak burritos and tacos. You might break a toilet afterwards, but worth it.

    Love the fact that they use real chihuahua cheese, not cheddar or provalone
