" I'm disappointed in my last visit. The food was mediocre compared to what I remembered from previous visits. I ordered the combo plate and it just felt bland. Service was satisfactory, but not exceptional—had to flag down our server for refills, which isn't ideal. The atmosphere was bustling, but it didn't detract from my experience. I suppose every restaurant has an off night. I may revisit it one day to see if things improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful gem! El Amigo has an inviting charm that hooks you right in. The hand-pressed tortillas are truly authentic. I tried the mole enchiladas, and my tastebuds danced with delight. Everything was well-seasoned! Even better was the service; our waiter was attentive and sweet. The atmosphere is comfortable, and it's a great spot for family gatherings or a night out with friends. I’ll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A few of us went to El Amigo last weekend. I had heard a lot of good things but ended up feeling pretty lukewarm about it. Our meals took a long time to arrive, and the tacos were subpar—almost bland. The ambiance was nice and clean, but service left much to be desired. I would consider giving it another shot because maybe we were just unlucky with our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" You can tell when food is made with love, and that's exactly what I felt when I tried El Amigo. The fajitas were sizzling and perfectly seasoned. The proportion was so generous that I couldn't finish the entire plate, but that just meant I got to take leftovers home! The margaritas were also fantastic—chilled and refreshing. The servers were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making our experience enjoyable. I will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing friends rave about El Amigo, I finally visited and have to say that I fell in love with the grilled shrimp tacos. They were marvelous, perfectly seasoned with a crispy coating. The service provided by our waiter was attentive throughout the meal, making sure our drinks never ran dry. I appreciated the lively atmosphere too! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Amigo is a favorite spot for our family. It’s been our tradition for years, and we love the variety of dishes they offer. Each visit, I am always pleasantly surprised by how fresh everything is. The carne asada was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. Though the restaurant gets busy, the service remains amicable and efficient. If you're looking for a solid place for Mexican cuisine, look no further. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family tried El Amigo a week ago, and we were generally pleased. I ordered the fajitas, and while they were decent, they could have been a bit spicier for my taste. My partner had the vegetarian platter which they enjoyed. We had to wait some time for our server to check on us, but I’m willing to overlook it as the food was satisfying. I would suggest trying it if you're around. " (*Curated Review*)
