Joy SerbinJune 17, 2016Tostadas. Corona & burrito. It was a very warm day and I think they need some assistance with the air conditioning. But food was excellent.
Annette WiitalaJuly 22, 2017Have 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❤
Social News NetworkNovember 28, 2013Don’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).- Justin OlandaJune 15, 2019My favorite place to eat lengua (tongue). If you’ve never tried it, give it a chance in taco form. Soft flavorful meat.
- Frank GrimesJanuary 18, 2012Delicious steak burritos and tacos. You might break a toilet afterwards, but worth it.
Philip SmithAugust 8, 2012Love the fact that they use real chihuahua cheese, not cheddar or provalone
- Joey Lax-SalinasJuly 27, 2010Good authentic Mexican food. Great beef chimichangas and really good tacos de lengua.
Try my favorite dish: steak burrito with Swiss on top and sour cream inside.
