2 Amigos

The food was good, but I’m not sure what is missing… the food was decent, the drinks were okay. Overall, I wasn’t impressed. The service was a little lackluster, as well. I had to hunt down the hostess to pay for my dinner.

Meh. The service here (on a Saturday night at about 8:30) was extremely slow, and the food was nothing worth waiting for. I won’t be coming back.

Ordered a few burritos at 11:30 pm for take out and they were damn good!

I want to like this restaurant more than I do. The dining area is fairly nice, as are the servers. However, after two visits I can’t say that the food really stacked up: when it comes to good Mexican food it seems like the most important things are fresh ingredients cooked right and served hot. In my experience, the food doesn’t justify the price tag when you consider that there are other better (and cheaper) Mexican options within a couple of blocks in either direction. I mean, hipster/​gentrification aside, this is still Logan Square, after all.
That said, if you are in the mood for a place that will serve you food and a cocktail and keep you moving up and down the Milwaukee strip, you could certainly do worse in this area.

God I just love this place. Meets my expectations every time. Reliable, friendly, delicious. Never crowded, sports, margaritas, easy parking. Eat here.

NEVER AGAIN!
I stopped in at 4:45 on a Monday. There were mariachis playing excessively loud to a corner table of 2 (I later gathered that it must have been the owners).
I requested a margarita with lime juice, rather than sour mix. I was served a glass of sour mix with no alcohol in it. I sent it back and asked the server what beer she had on draft. She didn’t understand what I meant.
My flauta dinner was so greasy it tasted like the fried rollups you get at 7 – 11 for 75 cents. I didn’t want to send my meal back since I already sent the drink back, so I consumed it as quickly as possible, as the music grew louder and intolerable. My water was not refilled in a timely manner, nor was I offered another beer. I wanted to stab my eyeballs out of my head. I left with a headache, a stomach ache, and no buzz.

We ordered a pitcher of margs and they gave us all individual margs and an entire pitcher… There were 6 of us. And they only charged us for the pitcher. This place is DA BOMB. Not to mention, they have GREAT service and authentic taste

my boyfriend and I were hungry yesterday and I decided a Michelada was a must. So we turned to Unilocal and it lead us to Logan Square where we sat and ate at 2 Amigos.
My Michelada was delicious! Not sure if they make their own mix or buy it but either way I was truly happy with my drink! My guy was under the weather so he opted for a soup with three tacos on the side (this guy) & and I went with the large shrimp cocktail and one taco.
Our food was hot and ready within a timely manner. I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail but felt there was too much sauce that made it almost soup-​y. The tacos were bomb! I always appreciate a good taco! Our server was very sweet and made sure we were taken care of. I felt bad for her because she was the only one in the restaurant. Even during down times, it always good to have staff on the floor.
It was also weird that there was no music playing, just a TV. I really don’t want to hear other people’s conversation or awkward silence when I eat. That’s where the four stats come in. I love the paintings on the walls too but I wish they cleaned up and dusted a bit. My view was less than ideal for dinner. I don’t want to see storage or dusty paintings stored while I eat your delicious food!
Overall I will definitely be back for the Michelada itself! It’s always hard to find a good one at a restaurant with great food and good service. Thanks 2 Amigos!

This place is one of the only places open late in Logan Square after a night of drinking. Their steak burritos are delicious and guac here is amazing! Food is very reasonably priced and the waitress is super nice even when dealing with a bunch of drunk people.

This place deserves more credit than it gets. Their vegetarian chimichangas with avocado inside are deeeelicious. I always hit them up late night or any time I am in town now that I’ve moved away. Fast, nice service, free chips & salsa if I remember correctly too…

I met my family here after work one day. They had waited a round for a while and told me that our waitress was kind enough to let them be seated, even though it would be a while before I met them there.
Once I arrived, I was intimidated by the extensive menu. My family ordered guacamole while I browsed the menu. The guacamole was good, yes, but it wasn’t the best guac that I have had. It needed a bit more salt and spice to it. But just a bit more of this, and it would have been excellent.
The tacos and such are much cheaper then the main entrees, so I went with a taco dinner. This is 3 tacos (I chose 2 chicken and 1 beef) with rice and retried beans. This was a LOT of food, especially after maxing out on guacamole and chips! I mainly ate the insides of the tacos, but I did eat some of the corn tortillas, which were delicious — made in house, the way they’re supposed to! The chicken was dry, sadly.
All in all, the food was good. Not great. Would I go back? Eh, probably not. I’ve honestly had better Mexican food.

After spending a few hours walking around Lincoln Square with our son, we had to wait another hour until our daughter got off work to meet us. Most of the restaurants in the area were pretty crowded and had wait times. We needed a place where we could come in out of the cold and just relax until she got there. 2 Amigos had seats to spare.
First, I have to say they were wonderfully accommodating. We told them it would be an hour or so until the fourth in our party arrived. Some restaurants say to wait until your whole party arrives. Not here — we were given our choice of seats.
Since we did not want to eat until she arrived, we ordered soft drinks. ]They also brought chips and salsa to the table. Their dished salsa was red and mildly spicy. They also had a tomatillo salsa in a bottle that was very good. We also ordered a large bowl of guacamole. It was very plain — they really don’t add much to the avocado. But, that was fine with me — it was fresh and quite good.
The waitress was very attentive, bringing refills as needed. When our daughter finally arrived, we ordered our meals.
Their menu is pretty extensive — traditional Americanized Mexican fare, but they do have goat and lingua on the menu. I opted for a steak torta with fries. The fries were good — hand cut. They were a little undercooked, but with the very large sandwich, I decided I would not ask them to crisp them up. The torta was good, but I have to say I’ve had better. They were generous with the beans but a little skimpy on the meat. I found the meat to be a little tough too.
All in all, not bad, but I have had better. In general, their service was much better than their food. But their guac was very good and shouldn’t be missed.

A damn good carne asada burrito at 12am when the only food you’ve had in the last six hours is three chicken wings and a piece of birthday cake followed by an unknown number of drinks… know what I mean?
I shall return. Soberly, and for some horchata!

Have to say being from San Diego, these tacos are really good. Didn’t think Chicago could do it and 2 Amigos did.

(My review is based on my lunch on a Wednesday around 12:30pm-2.)
The restaurant is one big open room. It’s dimly lit but still has a nice ambience with colorful paint and decoration. It hasn’t been remodeled too recently. But, it seemed fairly well-​maintained for its age. I didn’t check out the bathroom though.
The restaurant was only about a ¼ filled. Service was good. They provide complimentary chips and salsa.
My friend and I both had the 3 taco plate with rice and beans. It came out pretty quickly.
The rice and beans were pretty standard. The tacos were good. I had one of each of the following: chicken, ground beef, and steak. I thought the chicken could have used some seasoning, the ground beef was okay. The steak taco was definitely the best.
We also had a large order of guacamole. It was good. It was a big portion for two people though. In retrospect, a small would have been better.
The chips are good too. Corn chips — they were fresh and crunchy.
Overall, I wasn’t blown away by the experience. But, it was good. No complaints.

Love the well-​priced tacos and hefty servings of guac! I’ve never sat down here for a meal, but I’ve placed to-​go orders many times, and I’ve always been happy with the food and prompt service. Also: soups to-​go by the half-​gallon?! AH-​MAZING! The menudo came with hearty slices of tripe, but were a bit slim on the toppings.

Dang baby how long has it been since I’ve had your burrito de picadillo? I still got that 2 Amigos calendario you gave me. I’ve been around, but don’t trip you still my favorite burrito spot.
Yea i still want my burrito de picadillo with everything including queso and aguacate. I still dont like the lechuga doe. Aw you know I want it. Open late too!
Imma catch up with you.
Burrito de picadillo you my only burrito.

It’s not the best Mexican food in Chicago, but here are the reasons why I love ‘em in no specific order:
1. Authentic
2. Inexpensive
3. BEAAANNSSS
4. Extra sauce
5. Fast service
6. Friendly staff
7. There’s always a table available
8. Open late
9. Good location
10. I can have beer across the street at Revolutionary afterwards: D
Boom.

It was a day/​night of adventure which concluded with a stop here. We stopped at Revolution and while there we kept eyeing 2 Amigos. Deciding we wanted a few tacos for the road, my friend and I stopped in. And it did not disappoint!
I got the steak and pork tacos… delicious! They really hit the spot. Spoiler, this was the second time I had tacos that day, and I’d rate these superior.
The waitress was also quick with getting our order and bringing it out.
Overall, a place I would recommend. And will likely go back in the future.

Stopped in for a late night taco fix in the neighborhood. This place is pretty good, not crazy amazing but hit the spot. The Carne asada was cooked perfectly, the rice and beans lacked flavor but the guacamole was solid. Parking is terrible with Revolution brewery across the street but I’ll probably be back.
