" I came here after hearing many recommendations, and I wasn’t disappointed! The chimichanga was perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavors on the inside. It came with a great portion of salsa that blended well with the dish. Despite waiting longer than expected for my food, the experience overall was fantastic. I look forward to returning and diving into more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! Generous portions and an explosion of flavor in every bite. The team was busy but still provided great service. I have to say, the ambiance of the restaurant could use an uplift, but the food alone makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mi Amigo has a special place in my heart from my time living in San Diego. The flavors are reminiscent of my favorite taco shops! I suggest ordering anything with carne asada—it’s consistently cooked just right. It’s a small place with a cozy vibe, and you can tell there’s real passion behind each dish. Only complaint I have would be about the inconsistency in service, but that won’t stop me from coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere felt cramped when it was busy, and I didn't appreciate how the staff dealt with some customers who were upset about their orders. It made me feel a little uncomfortable. However, I was surprised at how good my carne asada plate was! The meat was well-seasoned and juicy, making up for the tense moments I witnessed. So, for that, I might give it another shot, but I’ll avoid peak hours next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this place. On one visit, I had the breakfast burrito, and it was one of the best I've ever had. Fluffy eggs, tasty chorizo, and just the right amount of cheese wrapped in a fresh tortilla! However, my latest trip for dinner wasn’t as satisfying. The quesadilla was bland, and the service felt rushed, which kind of ruined the experience for me. It's definitely a hit-or-miss, but when they do it right, it's truly fantastic! I plan to give it another shot because when it's good, it’s really good! " (*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*)
