“First and foremost the food tastes and looks fresh! I’m not from this area and was here for a band competition at the nearby high school. I’m Salvadoran and don’t see often pupusas on a menu. When I got there the lot looked empty only one car. It was about 3:30pm so I figured maybe that’s why it’s not busy. I walked in and a nice gentlemen took my order. 10 minutes later I had my food. I ordered tacos asado and pupusa revuelta with horchata. The pupusas could have had more pork but because the pupusa had other important components it didn’t matter to me. It was soft and slight crisp. Cheesy with what it tasted like some authentic cheese mixed in with mozzarella. The curtido was perfect, fresh. Tacos were just as good and the tortilla was handmade. Didn’t care too much for the red sauce because it was thicker texture BUT it still was flavourful and spicy kick. The horchata is how I like it made with morro. Overall I’m coming back later to order food to take home. Will definitely be coming back and hope to try other items on their menu.Side note this is an Honduran restaurant with Mexican food and it’s a place you shouldn’t miss out on.Sorry no photos, I devoured it. ?“

“They really good food, the only thing that was a little annoying was the music in the kitchen and the music playing in the seating area where two different beats and honestly I would rather hear the music in the kitchen being played throughout the entire restaurant.“

“The food is very delicious, my wife and I go to NC once a month and we like to eat there, last Monday we went at 4:30 and it was closed, they had a paper that said they closed from 1 to 3 but they were already past 4 o'clock and no one opened, we returned to South Carolina sad because we couldn't eat our aguachille ?“

“Found on a whim while there for a car show, some of the best Mexican I've ever had and I eat Mexican a lot. Not tex mex, Mexican. Not the fastest place around but well worth the wait. Pretty sure you can sit on the porch on the house behind the building but I just eat in my car as I'm usually on the move when I'm in the area. Love this place, great selection, highly recommend“

Tortilleria Los Amigos Mexican • $$
1603 S Horner Blvd, Sanford

“Best tortillas in town! I like to go early in the morning to get them fresh off the machine. Tortillas are soft and so yummy. This place is basically just a tortilla stop but they do have snacks and some essentials such as can beans and original Mexican drinks. Very nice folks; courteous and always greet me with a smile. Most of them speak English well, but really don't need to say much just "dos libras por favor" (2 lbs please). But some times they run out of fresh tortillas so the cashier might tell you they only have "frías" (cold ones). They are just as good. I bring them home and heat them up on my griddle on high for a minute each side. They taste delicious. My kid just microwave them for a faster serve.“
