Los Tres Amigos

Not to be the bad guy here, but the front desk cashier shorted me $ 5. I didn’t want to make a seen as I was with a group. I would recommend only using a credit card b/​c either the guy is bad with cash or dishonest. Would be interesting to find out if the til was up $ 5. As far as food, it’s okay. People always want to go here but I would rather go somewhere else! They can get a large group through lunch fairly quick — ask for JoJo.

PLEASE READ THIS: Eat there at ur own risk! Last night was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had regarding carry out food! In fact, I’m up at 3am writing this review bc my tooth hurts so freaking bad from a STONE that was in my salsa. There was one other little one that my daughter bit into, as well. But, this rock was quite big and VERY sharp! About the size of an adult molar. Anyway, it wouldn’t have been so bad had they just taken responsibility, apologized and refunded our money but they did NONE of those things! Well, they did say that they would credit our card back but that was only bc I told them they would. I called there very angry, which is something I don’t ever do! I worked in the business for 10 years and I know how things can happen. I’m also just about the most understanding person u could meet but, I will admit to having a temper and after biting into that sharp stone. Holy crap, it hurt! Now, I can’t help to think that maybe someone put them in their on purpose. bc I was a bit of a difficult customer to deal with on the phone. I ordered my husbands food and when I mentioned the (3) tacos for 5.00 (listed on their website that I checked minutes before) they informed me that they were actually now 7.99!?! What the crap is that? So, I said I needed to talk to my husband and call back. I called back and ended up still ordering one order of the tacos anyway. At the end, I asked how many salsas that would come with (we had the complimentary bag of chips/​small salsa) but, anything after that you’re charged for. The guy could tell I was confused and unhappy so he says that he will «just throw in» a second one for free and then I purchased a third small salsa. Well, seems to me that they «THREW IN» a couple of stones, as well! Seriously though. What the hell is it with these people being so damn CHEAP?! Every time we have gone there it’s horrible service, first of all. And they get SOOO annoyed if u ask for more chips and/​or salsa! Don’t offer the chips and salsa then if ur gonna be pissed that we eat it! Duh. Now, with that being said.
When I called to speak to someone (the first person that answered) I didn’t even think to ask for a manager at that point cuz I was so upset. I just started bitchin’. I told them that I wanted to know WHY there was a stone in my salsa. And this dude just played dumb. made excuses. talked to someone there with his hand over the phone. and offered me absolutely NOTHING as compensation! So, I told him that they WOULD be refunding my money. He had an attitude like that just wasn’t Gonna happen and got his manager. (Here I’m thinking, omg is this really happening?! I would never have even had to ask my boss permission to tell the customer to come back in and get their money back AND get them all new meals!) So, in comes the manager with the SAME story! I had calmed a bit and started off by (what was about to happen and) apologizing for being so upset and rude but I really wanted to know why there was a rock in my salsa. U wouldn’t freaking believe it! He had the nerve to tell me that there WAS NO stone in my salsa! Haha. I’m pretty sure there WAS considering that I just; spit it out of my mouth, didn’t finish dinner and called u to complain! I told him that «fine, I trust u. I believe u didn’t do it on purpose then.» (I was giving him the benefit of the doubt here.) «. but, regardless, it happened and now I may have to have a tooth repaired.» Still nothing. no «sorry». no offer to refund my money. So, then I told him that he WOULD be refunding my money. well, that plan didn’t jive with him, I guess. I had to get real mean then and let him know that yes, he would bc I have photos of it here and I’m about to start posting all over the Internet. he THEN changed his mind about the refund! And if it’s not on the card in 48 hours. they are in some serious trouble. I may report them anyway but if it’s not there, I will for sure be reporting this!
So, after all that. if u still decide to take ur chances and eat at the Mason Los Tres Amigos. DO NOT PISS THEM OFF IN ANY WAY! That means: don’t ask questions about the menu. don’t ask for more salsa. don’t ask for anything special. Bc if u do. u might be the one laying in bed all night awake with pain, writing the next bad review and waiting to call the dentist for an emergency appointment in the moring!
It saddens me so much, too, bc my girls love going there to eat. :(

Good food, solid service and great décor for being located in a small town. Would definitely recommend if you’re craving Mexican food and already in the area.

The food is good as long as you come before 7:00pm. I think everything is made in large batches before they open and by 7:00 or 8:00pm, the food starts feeling «old and greasy». This has happened to us enough times that we’ve learn the difference.

The food here isn’t exceptional, however it is pretty good. I work right down the road and come here for lunch occasionally. They have nice lunch specials with good portions ranging anywhere from $ 6-​$ 8. They are usually pretty speedy and service is good. Not great, but good. Not a bad spot if you have the taste for some Mexican.

It’s not particularly complicated food, but it’s done right. Their fajitas are the obvious «go-​to», but there are plenty of hidden gems on the menu. The Carnitas are fantastic, and the arroz con marisco is also quite good. I’ve never had a bad meal here in the dozens of times I’ve been.
The standard margaritas (frozen or rocks) aren’t necessarily bad, They’re just the same over-​sweet mix with b-​grade tequila you might get at millions of other Mexican restaurants. Not inherently bad, just not breaking any new ground. By your third one though, you won’t mind a bit! :)
I see there have been some other reviewers commenting on poor service, but that hasn’t been my experience at all. I’ve never seen a server stand still for longer than it takes to get an order. They’re always on the move and always have been very attentive. I suppose anything can happen, bad night, etc…, but all of the staff, especially Jose, our favorite waiter always treat us exceptionally well. Maybe being something of a «regular» affords me that privilege, but I’d like to think that isn’t the case.

I really like the food here… and they have an extensive menu with many authentic dishes as well basics like nachos, burritos, steak etc… The have fish and pork, mole sauce dishes. Mild to beyond spicy. Good in house chips and salsa. Prices are reasonable and the menu fun to explore and tempts one to try new or unusual dishes. Located right off my home towns downtown square where we like to shop before and after dining. They also have a full bar and good specials. My only complaint… and it’s not enough to stop me from returning. .the waitstaff seems disinterested. .or not happy to be there? So, I don’t go expecting very pleasant service… and I’m never disappointed… lol !

Great place to go to in a smaller town outside of Lansing. Décor was very simple, nothing I haven’t seen before. I ordered three soft shell tacos and they were extremely good. The service was good, not to mention out food came out within five minutes of receiving our orders! The chips and salsa were great as well, and we were able to ask for more without any problems. Check this place out if you get the chance.

I recently ventured to this restaurant with my friends. We came on «taco night», where tacos are $.99 each. The only problem is that the deal only applies to hard shell tacos. I personally enjoy soft shell tacos, so I ordered soft shell anyways. Now on to the chips. They tasted stale and they hurt the roof of my mouth. If I’m being honest, I think they are very stingy with they’re chips and salsa. You have to ask to get more, and even after that the take a long time to finally give it to you. The food came out decently fast, and it tasted pretty good actually. Overall, this restaurant has pretty good food, but the waiters/​management is a hit or miss.

Solid Mexican fare for mid-​michigan, reasonable prices and good margaritas. Family friendly atmosphere with outdoor seating in the summer.

First time here. As soon as we sat down we had hot chips and real good salsa. Our food was quick out of the kitchen and prob the best nachos I’ve ever had. Everything was great. The only negative thing about the service was our waitress was kinda rude. Maybe she was just having a bad day tho. We’ll she didn’t get much of a tip…

Los Tres Amigos is a Duffy family favorite. We have lunch or dinner here at least once a month and we have never had a bad experience. Whenever we have company in from out of town, we bring them to Los Tres.
The wait staff is fantastic. Always friendly and accommodating. They keep the chips and salsa flowing until the food arrives.
The food is fantastic and the portion are substantial. I always slip the Nachos Amigos (chicken, beef and beans) with one of my kids.
Los Tres Amigos — muy bueno!

Saturday we took my brother in law for a dinner and a drink. Amazing food and I couldn’t believe the service and drinks. They sang him happy birthday and put this huge hat on him. It was funny. The drinks were strong and the size price comparisons were great. Huge monster margaritas were unforgettable and the food was sooooo flavorful. Waiter was perfect and just had the time of our life. We will be back.

Love their food but had a HORRIBLE waiter. He was so inattentive and treated my family terrible. After are meal I asked for a menu so we could order desert and he rolled his eyes at us. I said forget it we just want our bill. I understand people have bad days but it was unacceptable, there were 3 families in the restaurant he was not busy AT ALL. Very disappointed in the way my family of 3 were treated. Will not be returning.

I have extended family in Mason, so have eaten here a few times while visiting.
The food is good; not spectacular, but good. The service, however, is VERY good. Last time we had a large group of approximately 15 – 20, and our waiter was great.
Above average overall; definitely a great option.

I went to Mason’s Los Tres for a birthday party & the service was outstanding! I had thought there were going to be 20 people, so they gave us the back room. When the group swelled to 40+, the staff was understanding & able to keep up just fine. The food was as good as ever & the margaritas kept flowing! The atmosphere is fun & colorful, and the service is always great. Highly recommended.

We love this place! The food is very good, and service is fast & friendly. The patio is wonderful on a nice day. Ask for their own homemade Sangria. (it is kept behind the bar in a plastic jug) I am a huge fan!

My family has eaten at this restaurant several times because Mexican food is my absolute favorite! I’ve eaten at the restaurants in Lansing and enjoyed them, but the Mason branch just doesn’t have very good food. Once I received old tortillas that were stale. Another time, I asked for no lettuce and got it anyway. Another time, they had buckets all over the place because of leaks in the ceiling. The waiters hover over you. I like when they refill my cup, but they seem to be bored and just waiting for you to need them. Last time we went, my whole family complained of stomach aches. We won’t go there again…
