I highly recommend coming here, the food is fantastic. Lots of seating area, and great overall.

This is a “TACO”. Not a burrito, Not a fajita, a TACOOOOOOOOO. This place calls itself a “Taco shop” - and doesn’t sell any tacos. Quite possibly the worst “Taco” I have ever eaten. The food is so bad it can be considered a Hate crime against Mexicans.

July 26, 2024

Very small portions for the price. 12 tater tots, some cheese and meat. Could fit all of it into a 1 cup measuring cup. Veggie burrito was very saucey not much else. So texture is verrrry soft. All of it just looks very blah. Wouldn't waste my money here again.

I really enjoyed eating here. The nachos were incredibly delicious, and the chili dog hit the spot. The friendly service and pleasant atmosphere made for a great experience.

June 18, 2024

What a joke. I got "Mexi fries". It was literally 5 or 6 tater tots, with a BUNCH of burrito guts. The salsa was basically chucked out tomato, and my wrap was just as bad, with all the meat up front in the burrito, and all of the refried beans at the back and NO consistency. HUGE AMOUNT of sour cream in one bite, none in the next. That went for the cheese as well. 33 bucks and a waste of my time. I threw the rest out and I wish I didn't spend money here. Get it together.

Ive only ever visited on Tuesdays for the 2 Burrito special. Service has always been great. I like that there is a window that allows customers to see into the kitchen. Usually a sign of a well kept hygienic kitchen, The decor and paint job are a bit dated.

Save yourself this place and go to taco del mar, hab 97 or even taco bell and youll get better food. Not sure how this place manages to stay open and advertise as authentic Mexican. Taco bell has more authenticity than this place. No restaurant should ever microwave food.

Hard tacos . Thats not even Mexican. Almost worst than taco bell lol

December 22, 2023

The owner doesn t seem to ever be around or want to respect the workplace by not hiring enough staff to create a warm and homey environment. The staff is constantly stressed out making sure their customers have their needs met. The owner has to be aware of low staff and makes the choice to not help the team full 100%. It is hard on the employees because lots of people don t have the brain cells to understand that they re doing the best they can do where as the owner is not showing the same passion. Instead she s busy doing personal errands or not listening to her staff when they ask for more support. If you re gonna run a business make sure you re fully prepared and ready to help the team not leave whenever you want because you don t wanna be there anymore. Not how that works start treating the staff better because they re trying their best it s the owner that is not making the change. Some people should not own a restaurant if you re not able to make the store run smoothly enough for customers to be unhappy.

★★

Ok, I usually dont like giving bad reviews at restaurants because dining experiences can be subjective. I didnt particularly enjoy this restaurant, but that doesnt mean that the next person wont. However, I dont think you can call this place a Mexican restaurant. I challenge you to expand your menu and include some recipes that would be representative of Mexican cuisine.

POOR BURRITO I EVER TASTED

December 22, 2022

Pathetic excuse for Mexican food.. Mexi-Fries came in a plastic container so they steamed and were gummy. Hot dog was a Costco hot dog and bun but the bun was somehow wet. A burrito I ordered previously tasted and looked like it was made with the most pseudo-mexican ingredients you could find. I dont understand how this place has stayed open for so long. They should be charged with cultural appropriation their food is so bad. I have had a lot of Mexican food in my travels so my pallete might be different than the typical PGer who doesnt have a lot of options for Mexican food.. but come on Amigos. Do better.

December 22, 2022

Well i left a one star review here from last year and maybe said some stuff that got it taken down because I am absolutely STILL infuriated by this place posing as a mexicqn cantina. The one star reviews are NOT lying. Soupy mess, MICROWAVED(including the lettuce), no flavour, no quality. Just terrible. If you think taco bell is the bottom for mexican food, try this place and experience a new one! Forget the mexican part, its just terrible food period. I cant understand how people can give this the rating it has. Seriously go to mucho burrito or whatever chain resturaunt you can find over this one. Even just go to macdonalds. This isnt the cute hometown hole in the wall Diners Drive ins and Dives place with spectacular food this is more like a Kitchen Nightmare before Gordon Ramsey shows up. I am only here AGAIN writing this review to warn people because it ruined what was supposed to be the cap off to a special day out with my son. Should have just ate at the bowling alley. Honestly ive never experienced anything so BAD and i mean in or out of a resturaunt. Ive never tried prison food but i feel like this is what it would be like. Picture the school cafeteria from the simpsons. Thats what it felt like... and i tried really hard and wanted to find something i liked about the food and i couldnt. I cant understand how they stay open. Mexican cantina food is cheap and easy to make flavourful... hell they could even just do taco bell tex mex... but they do this instead. Very very sad and infuriating.

December 22, 2022

Awful service. Only one other occupied table in the entire restaurant, and no one came to take my order after I sat waiting for 15 minutes. I walked out.

Amigos is a comfortable little diner that offers authentic Mexican cuisine that is always fresh and plentiful. The prices were a bit high but that seems to be the new norm since the pandemic has left its ugly mark on the economy in Canada. I would recommend this place to my friends because the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff are great conversationalists that have hearts that are as big as their Burrito Supremes.

Had the Fajita Friday special and I thought it was delicious. Ive heard mixed reviews about this place and its authenticity... I cant speak to that, but I can say Id eat there again.

December 22, 2022

Sad excuse for food and service. Had a missing item, not a big deal so i called to have it made so I could quickly grab it. Lady on the phone proceeded to tell me the item was definitely put in the bag. When i let her know it wasn t she awkwardly insisted another lady put the order together not her. Told her its okay, mistakes happen but the arguing and tone weren t very friendly so she clumsily passed the phone off to someone else without even letting me know. The second lady was very friendly but the damage was done. When i picked up the item the rude lady was standing wide-eyed at the counter and i started to say that its no sweat if theres a mistake, just dont lie or argue with customers. She promptly interrupted me mid sentence and snapped have a great day , obviously not willing to listen and wanting to sweep the mess under the rug instead of saving face and just apologizing like a normal human. Yikes. To top it off, burrito was falling apart and the beef had zero seasoning (even for being frozen and reheated it was bland and mushy). The taco bowl was totally burnt on the bottom and tasted like charcoal with this weird faint taste of bleach i swear there wasnt a grain of salt, pepper, chili powder or cumin in any component so its like eating a blandy soggy pile of burnt mush that tasted like cleaning supplies. I think this is my last time going to amigos in hopes of having food resembling what it used to be. It was never authentic, but it used to be fast and edible. Now it s overpriced slop, poorly prepared by staff with zero people skills or passion for food. Only good thing was the extra drink i got with the missing item. Experience was sub-subpar if thats even possible. Owner has no concept of quality control and hiring competent staff so theres no point in eating here unless youre 10 coronas deep and just need to fill your stomach. Frozen burritos from the gas station taste better to be totally honest so ill grab that next time and save myself the rudeness and extra trip from missing items. So much for trying to support local couldn t even finish the meal so i hope the crows at the dump enjoy it after garbage day The quality has continued to spiral downwards since the lady with the Karen haircut took over and I definitely get why a second location couldn t stay afloat. A liquor license would literally be the only draw but the 8th ave location never got one so the place closed. First Mai Thai, now Amigos im done giving my money to people that think PG is full of country bumpkins with no palette do better!
