Took no time to pick up my lunch. I was so hungry no picture will be attached because the food didn't make it long enough. I order chicken nachos and they were just what I needed. They really give you a lot of food and are heavy on the toppings just like I like it! Fast service as well

A very humble looking restaurant with quiet, but lovely people working. The food is authentic and so fresh and delicious. It's the real deal. If what you want is American food, go to a chain restaurant, if you want real Mexican, this is where you want to go! Enjoy!

Finally found the most authentic Mexican Restaurant in all Pontiac! Just like Mexico City. Real sheep barbacoa and dishes! Definitely a hidden gem!

There are many, many Mexican restaurants in the Pontiac area to choose from. Los amigos has Best traditional Mexican tacos in town. On Tuesday, taco Tuesday... Tacos are $1.29. regular price is $2.99. There are many, many different types of meats to choose from. The meat is super flavorful and the corn tortillas are not greasy or oily. The salsa is fantastic. The "hot" salsa is fire! Chips and salsa are on point. This restaurant is next to/inside the gas station. It is easy to miss, if you don't know what you're looking for. The restaurant staff is super friendly! I ordered for traditional tacos, shredded chicken, both kinds of pork and steak, some without and with cilantro and onion and added grilled onions and jalapeños. I cannot wait to go back. This is my new spot!

I had the carne asada burrito, wife had a veggie burrito. Both were delicious. The beans and rice are outstanding--would go back just for those. Prices reasonable. Definitely glad we found this place.

Horrible experience Went too get something to eat and my food had hair in it . They didn’t take it off the bill.Nor did the manager apologize . I would never recommend this place to anybody
2019-04-04. Los Amigos. Pontiac, MI Came here for lunch with a colleague I haven't been in touch with for a while, we were surprised to find out that the establishment is on the property of the Marathon Gas station adjacent to the Sundry store. There is a connecting door inside as well as it's own separate entrance. There are about 10 parking spots at the edge of the property just steps away. Inside, the place is small and the decor is basic. With seating for about 36, all tables that seat four. Menus are laminated, and the place is open early to catch the morning commuters wanting breakfast. While not overly extensive, their menu selection was very decent, serving up authentic Mexican dishes. They had a special going on, 3 taco for $5. After perusing their types of tacos, I was sold. I went with the lamb barbacoa, the chiccharron verde, and an al Pastor. They had a page of their menu advertising Flautas for $1.29 each, so of course I had to get one! I went with the chicken over the potato. To wash it all down, a Green Apple Mundet. Tacos, all served traditionally with two soft corn flour tortillas, with chopped parsley and onions, and lime in the side. Lamb Barbacoa. The lamb was shredded or pulled, moist, juicy, and tender. I added some red chilies sauce to kick it up a notch or two. Standard basic street taco you'd find in Mexico City, no disappointment here. 4 stars. Chicharron. Pork Rinds. I was actually hoping they would use the appetizer style roasted chicharron just chopped up, but again they were true to authentic Mexican style where it's stewed and soft. Flavorful, but not enough to quell my hopes. 2,5 stars. Al Pastor. Made famous by street vendors, this is my favorite taco. Spit grilled cuts of pork shoulder, the meat is slow roasted much like shawarma and gyros. Marination varies but has the common ingredient of pineapple or pineapple juice. The street version in Mexico City has a whole pineapple roasting at the top of the spit so that the juices drip and soak into the meat. Each taco is made to order and gets a tiny chunk to top it off. Unfortunately in MI, I have yet to have an Al Pastor that does this, and Los Amigos is no different. Still good though. 3,5 stars. Chicken Flauta. Shredded chicken meat marinated and rolled up in soft shell corn tortilla, then deep fried to a crisp. Topped with lettuce and cheese, it doesn't get better any more pure than that. The flauta was over cooked IMO, but not by much. 2,5 stars. The bill came to $11 pp after taxes and tip. Overall, a nice little place for lunch. Not to take a first date on, but the recipes are authentic, the place is clean, and the service is great. A solid 3 star place. Would I come back? Yes. If You would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit!
