" This charming Mexican spot exceeded my expectations! After hearing many locals rave about it, I finally decided to give it a shot. I ordered carnitas burritos, and they were out of this world—mouthwatering! The atmosphere was casual yet vibrant. I was served promptly by an attentive waiter who made great recommendations. Highly recommend the margarita on the rocks—a perfect accompaniment. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Amigo Spot on a weekend and the restaurant was packed! Despite the crowd, their service was excellent. I ordered their seafood paella, which was a bit of a deviation from the traditional menu but surprisingly tasty! The whole vibe of the restaurant made me feel welcomed and upbeat. A little crowded but definitely worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at The Amigo Spot was pleasant. The food was good, though their spice level seemed toned down for my taste. I had the chimichanga and was pleased with the flavor and generous fillings. The atmosphere was lively, with festive decorations. Service was attentive, and I appreciated the warm ambiance. I might return to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! This restaurant might look ordinary from the outside, but don't be fooled. Inside, The Amigo Spot offers a warm atmosphere and one of the best Mexican meals I've ever had. I had their shrimp tacos, which were fresh and served with a side of vibrant beans that paired perfectly. My only complaint was the wait for the food, but the attentive service offset that. Definitely a place I’d visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

The ambiance is cozy and festive, perfect for family dinners or a casual night out with friends. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, adding to the lovely dining experience. Don't forget to try their homemade salsa! I'd highly recommend this restaurant if you find yourself in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say that my experience at The Amigo Spot was one of the highlights of my trip to San Diego. The ambiance set a great mood, and I am very particular about Mexican food—I was impressed! The pork carnitas were tender, and the taco shells had a delightful crunch to them. The staff were genuinely friendly and spoke highly about their food! Definitely worth revisiting. " (*Curated Review*)
