Amigas Restaurant

Amigas is a solid place for Mexican food. Everything about this place is really good. Not great. Not mind blowing. But really good. It’s hard to rave when El Camino and La Rosita are both right down the street, and both make some of the best tacos I’ve had. But if you like or love Mexican food, you’ll be happy you came here.

Decent Mexican fare. The interior of this place is better than the outside — it’s very colorfully decorated. It seems to kind of a mini mart with ice cream and traditional snacks and restaurant. I’ve tried the house recommended soup with beef and the green salsa pork. Portion wise the place is good. I thought it was kinda pricey though. Chips and 3 kinds of salsa for free as appetizer. Overall nothing bad and nothing super outstanding.

Just went here on a Tuesday for $ 1.00 tacos they were so good. This is a must go to for Taco Tuesdays the food is fresh and very good. If you dine in You also get chips and salsa for free. I got 1 steak 1 chicken and 1 pork I was very satisfied. I can’t wait to go again.

I got a crazy craving for huevos rancheros for breakfast this past weekend. This is strange, I know, because I can’t have the rancheros part since I’m restricted from eating spicy and tomatoes! The boy loves huevos con chorizo, so I ventured out for a very Mexican morning!
I seriously think that Amigas is the only Mexican place open in the morning! I’m glad they are! They are just a small place in the middle of a strip mall. I would say that this place could fall in the hole in the wall category!
I did get some very confused looks and questions when I ordered my huevos rancheros sans the rancheros, but you gotta do what you gotta do! The lady was very nice and tried to accommodate me with their non-​spicy salsa. She was so sweet that I didn’t want to deny her sweet demeanor lol!
I got home with our takeout breakfast and we feasted! You would think my breakfast was plain and bland! Au contraire mon fraire! The eggs were a nice medium so the yolk made a mess when I picked up the crispy tortillas! The beans had a good flavor with the cheese! There was a side of beans and rice with some cheese. Dunno why, but I always mix them together! The beans were a little runny and the rice was a little dry. On their own they tasted good, but the consistency just wasn’t quite right. My tenancy to mix them together worked out very well for me here.
The boy enjoyed his huevos con chorizo too! The eggs come scrambled with the chorizo and cheese on top. You get a side of beans and rice, though he doesn’t dig beans so I got him a double side of rice. We had plenty of leftovers for the next morning too! I just cooked up a couple extra eggs for us to throw on top!
We’ll definitely be back to check this place out for lunch or dinner!

Seriously love this place. The staff is friendly, place is clean, the food is awesome and the prices are great. I usually go on Tuesday for $ 1 tacos and I’ve always been satisfied. The chips with salsa which they include for free are good as well. They have a choice of either Pepsi products or Coke products as well. If you’re looking for desert, lots to choice from. Definitely try Amigas out.

So I had a craving for a big steak burrito and found this place on Unilocal.They were close to my work so I thought I’d stop in and check them out. Photos of the food looked delicious, and I clicked the link to their website to pull up their menu. Pricing seemed fair at $ 5.99 for a burrito and $ 7.50 for a burrito dinner, right… Wrong! When I got their I ordered a burrito dinner to go and the cashier told me $ 9.50! «$ 9.50, I was just looking at your menu online it wasn’t that much», I told her. She replied,“that’s our old menu, here is the new one.” I canceled my order and left, there are tons of other places to get a good lunch at a more reasonable rate.

Just tried a few of their $ 1 tacos. They were amazing! I got the steak tacos onions and cilantro. Steak was very well seasoned. The red sauce is really spicy and the green is good as well if you like it more mild. Can’t wait to come back and try other stuff and more $ 1 tacos! :)

Tacos are soooooo delicious! I’ve tried their Carne asada tacos which are 1.00 on Tuesdays and the carne asada burritos. Burritos are huge, enough for 2 people! Outside presentation is a bit rusty but glad I stopped in. Horchata is also yummy!

Great place for tacos and burritos. Tonight I was really hungry and opted from the usually and tried the carne Asada dinner plate. It was amazing and filling .
This place is slammed on Tuesday $ 1 tacos .
Great place and atmosphere. Friendly staff.

I’m a big fan of this place. The ladies there are very nice, and the horchata is super tasty. We typically get burritos, I’ve only had steak and it’s always really good. They’ve screwed up my order once, but was more than willing to compensate. It’s our staple mexican place. TRY THE BUTTER COOKIES!

I do not recommend the watery chicken burrito. Though the chicken marinade combined with plenty of Sour cream (inside the burritto) formed a secret sauce reminiscent of Taco bell (in a good way!). I imagine a steak or cecina burrito would be better. Upon my first visit I was in a Carne mood. Which lead me to Carne Asada A La Parilla dinner. To my surprise it came out very spicy, with chopped steak, and plenty of Tortillas on the side. I highly recommend that dish which will no doubt provide leftovers, at a price tag of $ 13 after tax (worth it). I am looking forward to going back as this is my New Fave Mexican lunch spot. I’m looking forward to maxing out on Tacos which are $ 1 on Tuesday. From the outside it may look like a hole in the wall, but its a large hole in the wall, with an excellent interior. Something about HGTV playing on the television makes for a relaxing lunch away from the office.

Just moved to the area n found this place. Great food great prices. My co-​workers n I love taco Tuesday n Wednesday burritos. That green sauce is so addictive. I even add it to dishes i make at home. The staff really nice. I’m a city girl n i know my tacos. I’ve tried other places around here not even close. This place offers American n Mexican tacos.

The waitress/​server/​hostess here is super-​nice. Located in the stripmall near LA Fitness, this is a healthier option than the neighboring Steak N’ Shake. I actually heard about this place because one of the employees camped in the LA Fitness and was passing out flyers and free samples.
Upon sitting, you get a basket of chips and salsa. The salsa seemed a little bit bland, and needed salt. We ordered some guac as well, and although I liked the consistency (not too gooey, not too chunky), again, it felt like it needed more seasoning. The tacos here are A-​OK — I do like that it comes with customary cilantro and onions, none of that Americanized crap of lettuce tomato and cheese.
Overall, good meal. They have taco tuesdays where their tacos are $ 1 each. Score!

We have only been here twice for take out and honestly the first time was much better than the second. The first time we called 15 minutes before closing so all they were able to make us were some steak tacos and a burrito. We were pleasantly surprised that they offered cilantro and onion on the tacos, very authentic.
Tonight unfortunately was a different story. I ordered myself a chicken torta and am super disappointed and am literally writing this review after picking through it and throwing half of it away. To begin with the second I opened up the foil I noticed lots of liquid. When I lifted the torta to grab a bite the whole bottom of the torta bread was soggy and spongey. Also the chicken tasted more like canned tuna. Overall, there was nothing to enjoy. We also ordered an order of fries which was another big disappointment… Soggy and greasy. The horchata is ok but nothing special. Again, I tried to give a new place a try and was let down… I just need to stick with my old time favorites like El burrito Fanastico in Roselle because I know I will not be let down.

We stopped in the other night for a post-​workout dinner. They had apparently advertized at LA Fitness next door, so that’s how my +1 heard of them.
Service was really good — friendly, accommodating. We had forgotten our coupons, so the server/​employee gave us some for next time.
We had complimentary chips and salsa and ordered the guacamole. I wasn’t a fan of the salsa — it was mostly liquid. The guac wasn’t fresh and was underseasoned; a little salt helped it along though. We asked for a bit more chips (none really came with the guac), and she brought us a heaping refill. Wow! So nice!
My steak burrito was so delicious — the steak was very tender and abundant, and the tortilla was grilled. It was very salty though — left me thirsty! Note there is some gristle in the steak, and the chicken can run a bit dry.
The dining area was clean, and there was a TV for entertainment.
I’ll be back for another burrito!

I’ve been there 3 times, only ordered takeout. The service is nice and friendly and the food is average, however 3 times out of 3 they have messed up our orders, is not just about being nice is about being competent enough to write down an order properly. If I ever go back I’ll definitely be checking my food before I leave.

The food was spot on! Our first visit after climbing, I was ready to test them out. Fresh corn tortillas, lengua, and carne asada, I was stuffed! Normally, I have to go into Chicago to get my authentic Mexican food fix, but no more! The guacamole was fresh and tasty, the chips were perfect. And Brenda was friendly and helpful with our order! We’ll be back for sure.

One of my favorite mexican restaurants. Great prices great service and great food. My favorite is the beef lengua burrito.

This restaurant has it all. Great service, great food, clean, and great prices. So glad we found this restaurant!

Went here for lunch the other day. I was pleased with my meal and will go back.
We were greeted by a friendly waitress who brought out chips and salsa. Ordered horchata (which was not my favorite but serviceable). Ordered a steak sope, al pastor taco and barbacoa taco. Enjoyed the al pastor taco immensely. barbacoa was boring and the sope was good but actually a bit overwhelming compared to what I am used to. The steak had good flavor.
I’ll be back soon — taco tuesday deals as well.
