" I’ve tried several Mexican restaurants over the years, but Mi Amigo stands tall with its rich flavors and variety. The breakfast burritos are notably the best! I usually opt for the bacon and egg breakfast burrito, topped generously with avocado—unforgettable! It’s good to see they offer such sizable portions for a reasonable price. While I've had a couple of visits with slower service, the wait is tolerable if you think about the craftsmanship put into every dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yum! Absolutely love the fiery jalapeno hot sauce they serve! I tried the breakfast burrito with it today, and it elevated everything to a whole new level! The staff were also very friendly and attentive during my visit. If I could, I’d eat here every day! It genuinely gives you that warm, homey feeling when you walk in, which I truly enjoy. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Mi Amigo after receiving many recommendations. However, I left feeling let down by the overall experience. The food was okay but nothing special, and I felt it was a bit overpriced for what you receive. I believe they might have great items, but I just happened to pick a few uninspired options. The atmosphere had potential but needs a bit more charm to complement the flavors of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mi Amigo is a treasure that you might miss if you don’t know where to look! Tucked away, it took me a while to find, but once I did, I knew I had discovered something great. The carne asada fries have become my ultimate craving! They come generous with toppings and the flavor is rich and authentic, sometimes hard to find. However, I have experienced varying levels of service; some days it's great, others not so much. Still, the food is remarkable enough for me to overlook those minor issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time visiting Mi Amigo, and I must say, I was quite impressed! The atmosphere is very casual, which I appreciate. The menu has so many options, but I settled on the shrimp quesadilla. It was packed with shrimp and melted cheese, and the accompanying salsa was a burst of flavor. The staff were attentive and ensured I had everything I needed. I would highly recommend Mi Amigo for anyone looking for a delightful Mexican meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming here for years, and every time I visit, I'm reminded of why I love this place so much! The carne asada fries are a must-try, generous portions with two of my favorite toppings: guacamole and sour cream. Best of all, the authentic flavors bring me back to my days in San Diego. The staff is generally friendly, though sometimes service can be slow during peak hours. But honestly, the food is worth any wait! Definitely my go-to spot whenever I'm craving Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mi Amigo the other day, expecting the authentic Mexican flavors everyone raves about. The enchiladas were decent, but they didn't quite live up to the hype for me. It felt more like a casual dining experience than a hidden gem. I appreciated the generous portions, but for the price, I expected a more flavorful meal. I can see why others love this place, but I think there are better options around if you want a really great meal. " (*Curated Review*)
