" Our visit to El Buen Amigo was nothing short of fantastic! We tried the birria tacos and they were some of the best I've ever tasted. The flavor was deep and rich, and the side of broth to dip was a wonderful touch. The service was kind and attentive. I will recommend this spot to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been all over trying to find good Mexican food, and I finally found it here! The chilaquiles were wonderful, and the salads were fresh and vibrant. The service staff was friendly, but the restaurant was a bit small. It felt cozy but was very busy that day. " (*Curated Review*)

" (*Curated Review*)

" The best Mexican food in the area! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the enchiladas while my husband ordered the fajitas. They were both packed with flavor! The tortillas are freshly made, and that made all the difference. I have been craving their food ever since our visit! " (*Curated Review*)
