My go-to for Mexican food. Always ask for the spicy salsa for your chips. The regular is excellent as well. Reasonably priced, tasty, good service.

This is not even remotely authentic Mexican food. It is that typical burrito in a puddle of water food just one step.above taco bell. It is not the worst but since Rasing Canes is next door you do have better food options nearby. Also in terms of the atmosphere it is exactly as expected. They painted over the "village inn" and did not actually update anything. The outline silhouette is still on the building from the old sign.

The food is great and the service is fast, BUT BEWARE if you like top shelf alcohol. I sat at the bar since I was by myself, and wanted a nice smooth drink on ice with no mixer. I have been drinking Patron tequila for years and know the distinctive taste. I ordered it, and watched it being poured from a Patron bottle, but it definitely was NOT Patron. I took a sip and immediately knew it was a "bottom self" tequila.I told the bartender to take it off my bill, and she did, but they did not fool me. I am not am amateur!

Standard local Mexican restaurant. Really good regular salsa, friendly staff, and extremely quick service - take out is usually 10-15 minutes!

Amigo's is a great newer restaurant to the area. The food is delicious, they make great margaritas, and the staff is very friendly. I would definitely recommend!

We love our Mexican and usually have our go to stop, but we decided to venture out on a Saturday evening and try something new. Reviews highly recommended Amigos so that’s where we headed. We were greeted when we walked in and realized the restaurant was full, so we asked to sit at the bar. We were seated and given menus, chips and salsa. There were so many great looking dishes and choices, but we knew right away for drinks we wanted a Michelada with Corona, and a Victoria along with queso and guacamole and two waters. We looked over the menu while we waited for the drinks and dips. It was quite extensive but sorted into categories that helped narrow it down.The Victoria, water, guacamole and queso was brought almost immediately. The Michelada took a little longer for good reason… it was a work of art and something like I have never seen! I always order Michelada at Mexican restaurants but never had anything like this with so many fixings and such great flavor! I would come back just for this! We orders our entrees after receiving the drinks - the carnitas and the veggie quesadilla. It did not take long for the food to come out but we were enjoying the chips and dips and drinks so time wouldn’t have mattered. The carnitas were served with rice, beans, tortillas, and pico de gallo. The portion was very generous and the pork was tender, juicy and seasoned well. The quesadilla took up the plate it was so big and loaded with peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomato, cheese and had tomato, lettuce & sour cream on the side. Both meals were the best we have had at a Mexican establishment and portions were very very generous… definitely left overs going home for smother meal.The service was fantastic, the atmosphere is great, and the food and drink, and menu options outstanding. I think we have a new favorite weekly stop!
