Los Amigos

In the mood for Mexican while traveling back from a wrestling tournament. Great food and service. Chips were served hot and the food was good and filling. Definitely glad we stopped here.

How was the food? Check out the picture for your self. 50 percent of people eat with thier eyes then taste it. And this Shrimp and cheese Quasadilla was just that looked bad and tasted bland no shrimp tast way over cooked. Next time I want Mexican food I will drive somewhere else. My wife also had a strawberry daiquiri and she said it was more like a bland straight triple sec and light rum. Also this is a place that will garnish this drink wrong with whip cream and a cherry instead of a lime on the rim. The drink had no strawberry taste what so ever. quick service on the food side after we ordered but as noted didnt have any taste. Drinks took for ever and to get the tab for our food it took nearly 15 minutes. Not again even if it was the last place to eat in town.

How was the food? I wouldn’t know, we never were waited on. We waited several minutes before being seated, ate chips and salsa (bland salsa, cold chips) for we’ll over five minutes, and no one came and waited on us. Multiple tables that were seated after us were waited on. I should mention it was a Monday at 1: they were not busy. We left.

Bright and clean and friendly. Excellent chips. Food less than expected. Tortilla soup could have been canned with tortilla strips on top – ground beef, corn and beans. Taco salad OK. Needs more lettuce, avocado etc. Still good to be able to get decent lunch and a Corona while traveling

The place to stop if yore road trippin and want somewhere to eat. I had polo Tampico. It was great.

This is by far the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. We stopped here on a road trip, and it was the only place open at 8:15 pm. The enchiladas had no flavor and were incorrectly prepared. The meat was not seasoned, the tortillas were soggy, there was very little cheese melted on top, and the worst mistake was that the enchiladas were never baked — a key step in their preparation. It was so bad it made me feel ill.
The rest of the food — salsa & chips, sopapillas — was mediocre at best.

Very good!
Very friendly staff, and the food was quite good. For were it is, it was surprising to find decent authentic Mexican

Nice place, nice people. Bad food (no flavor)

I believe it is under new ownership.
Strip mall mexican restaurant convincingly decorated as a villa on inside. Nice Mexican music. It is a family friendly kind of place.
Eli was remarkably effective at managing the tables there, while really being engaging with the patrons.
Chips and salsa were spectacular. Light crispy perfect salt. Fresh tasting salsa.
I ordered the Pork tostada as a side. It was huge and could be a meal by itself. Eli reommended the veggie burrito. It was awesome. Whole pinto beans, green peppers, onions ooked to perfection.
The kids has tacos and loved them! I sneaked a bite. They were juicy with moist chicken. Also one had a fajita quesadilla with a bit much onion. This plae was a real winner.
The prices were very reasonable.
If you are looking for a day trip from St. Louis this ould easily be paired with antiquing right next to the restaurant, or lake activities, or there is a corvette museum up the road.

Quite possibly the worst Mexican restaurant I’ve ever visited.
Major league disappointment — -I thought it was odd that a Mexican restaurant had philly cheesesteak on the menu. Then, I really thought it was odd when my fajitas came out, distinctly NOT sizzling on the cast iron platter. Methinks my dinner was philly meat dressed up in fajitas clothing.
If you’re going east and can wait until Effingham, save your appetite for Taqueria Don Pedro. If you’re going west, hold off for St. Louis.

I enjoy the way this place is decorated. It’s painted like a Spanish villa on the inside. Open floor plan with some booths and tables scattered about. Definitely not good for an intimate dinner. Chips and salsa given at the beginning are great. A small sign on the table notes only one basket of chips and one bowl of salsa per every two people. Haha!
I had the burrito monterey with steak and chicken. The meat was seasoned very well and I actually enjoyed the insides of the burrito very much. I was disappointed in the shell. It was a if they just threw the insides (meat, onions, peppers, tomatoes) into a shell and sorta rolled it. It wasn’t folded on the ends so there was no chance of picking it up without everything spilling out. It was drizzled in the delicious white cheese sauce. The beans were runny but great flavor. The rice was not good. It seemed old. I’m hoping it was an off day for the rice. My mom had a chimichanga that was just ground beef inside. She was hoping for a bit more pizazz in there. She did have a side of guacamole… yummm!
Great service and delicious fountain pepsi! Cards accepted. A few shops right next door (antiques and some sorta clothing store), so browse before or after you’re fiesta!
