Los Amigos

We ordered take out and ordered beef tacos with corn shells, got flour.
Ordered 4 beef taquitos and received 2 chicken flautas. Ordered carne a sada, received dried cubed tasteless beef. We got 2 orders of rice and beans with the tacos. 1 was twice as big as the other. 1 order of the beans, had guacamole on top. Ordered a large size of guacamole, received a small and tasted like lime paste. Ordered a large Pico De gallo, received a small as well. We did receive a monster size bag of chips (Hey, that was cool). They claim authentic Mexican food, but the only thing that is authentic was that it was Mexicans who made some food. We have spent a lot of time south of the border and I know what Mexican food is. I would’ve been better served buying an old el paso box kit at Walmart. They may have new owners but it’s the same old crap as the old owner tried to pass off as Mexican food. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Since my husband is from Mexico, we are constantly on the lookout for good and authentic Mexican food. Unfortunately Los Amigos had some authentic items on the menu but was not that good. After debating between the coctel de camaron (almost $ 14) and a torta (which they only had steak, chicken or salchicha), I finally ordered the steak fajitas which were ok but not great. My husband ordered the chile rellenos which were barely edible… He said they were really greasy and when I tried them, grease was all I tasted and they tasted like they had been fried in days old grease. We were sadly disappointed with our meal here.

We love Juan! Authentic Mexican with friendly service and great prices. Unfortunately, it is not our little secret, anymore. ;) We love the fajitas, steak tacos, and huevos con chorizo.

Went there on advice from my sister. …omg what was she thinking. I live in Texas and these people don’t know mexican food. Ewww. My mother spend almost 200.00 with tip and could’ve made it all at home for a 4^th the price and soooo much better. Taco bell would’ve been an upgrade.

They always remember my wife doesn’t like sauce on her chile releno. Which by the way are the best chile releno’s around! Never to busy, always have a drink and meal special.

New owners. Best chips I have had in a while! Went with family and everyone loved their entrée. The portions were big. We probably could have shared. We know authentic Mexican food and the rice and beans were delicious! Margaritas were on special as well as desert flan and those were as wonderful as everything else. We have lived in Bettendorf for 5 years and just decided to give it a try. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant and close to home!

Well, I will just say that I after taking my first bite from my suspicious-​looking cold «steak» fajita, I actually had to spit it out. It was that bad. Worse than bad. The flour tortilla however, was fine. As was the shredded lettuce that came on the side with the meal. My partner’s chicken fajita was passable however (not good tho) and she was glad to share it with me because whatever I ordered that passed for a steak fajita was inedible. I did take the uneaten «steak» home to make the 3 Aussies happy, but the next morning, upon examining the leftover in daylight, it became very apparent that it was some type of pressed meat primarily comprised of offal. The menu offers an abundance of «meat» dishes so beware. I decided it was not even Australian Shepherd-​worthy.
To their credit, the waitress did offer to bring a chicken fajita dish but I declined.
Also don’t expect to get chips and salsa (like any other Mexican place in this hemisphere) unless you order it. We really should have trusted our instincts and not even gone in (it was prime evening dining time on a Friday and the place was empty) but oh well.
