" Though the Amigo Spot is attached to a hotel, don’t let that sway your judgment; it’s a great eatery. The atmosphere is lively, with colorful decorations that create an inviting space. The tacos I had were phenomenal—fresh and bursting with flavor. Service was quick and cheerful. It's an excellent spot to enjoy some authentic Mexican food without breaking the bank. I’ll return during my next trip for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was new in town and decided to give The Amigo Spot a try. Initially skeptical due to being part of the Kings Inn motel, but it turned out to be a great choice! I had the tamales, which were authentic and served with a delightful salsa. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick, making my dining experience enjoyable. Will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an incredible experience at The Amigo Spot! The staff treated us like family, and the food was bursting with flavors. I had the enchiladas, and they transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen! I will definitely return, particularly for Taco Tuesdays, which the locals seem to rave about. This place is a hidden gem, and the margaritas are to die for! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tucked away in a hotel complex, The Amigo Spot is a hidden gem. I enjoyed a delicious taco platter filled with fresh ingredients. The ambiance was alive with laughter and cheerful chatter. Service was quick, but it felt a little rushed. I don’t mind to be served promptly, but feels like we were hurried to order and finish up. Nonetheless, great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first impression of The Amigo Spot was decent, but as we sat down, we realized it was more than that. The menu offers a variety of traditional dishes. I tried the carne asada fries, and they were delicious, though a tad too salty for my preference. The service was prompt, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Not the best place I’ve been to, but I wouldn’t mind revisiting to try other menu items. " (*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*)

" Had a fantastic meal at The Amigo Spot! The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the food was served pretty quickly. I ordered the shrimp ceviche and it was so refreshing! My friend tried the fajitas and loved them. I can confidently say this is a solid spot if you're craving Mexican food. I plan to make this a regular stop whenever I'm in the area!
