“ Excellent Mexican restaurant. The beef chilli Chimichanga was the best Chimichanga I have ever had. I sincerely suggest you try the Michelada if you like beer and spice. The chicharrones are a great starting nibble if you like pork scratchings, I will certainly be ordering these again. We shared the pulled chicken nachos and we're very pleased with these too. My partner had the carne asada tacos, which she said were very tasty. We shared the apple Chimichangas for dessert and would recommend if you like apple and cinnamon. They reminded me of a strudel. I am looking forward to trying the fried ice cream next time. Food, drinks, service and atmosphere were all on point, I can't wait to return in the new year. ”
“ it doesn’t look much from the outside but once you’re inside there’s a reason they’re the best Mexican in the country and award winning! James our server was probably one of the best I’ve ever encountered in this industry. His customer service skills are just beyond top level! The cocktails are amazing and the food is just incredible! The money you pay for what you get is well worth it. I couldn’t decide which sauce I wanted for my enchilada and James brought me out a tasting selection before deciding, which certainly helped make my decision. Portion sizes are massive and as much as we wanted a dessert there is just literally no way we could handle it as we were both so stuffed. What a hidden little gem! Cannot wait to return and tell everyone about this place. You have to go! ”
“ As a Texan living in England, I was very excited to try them after seeing the menu. Did not disappoint! Had queso and chips and the enchiladas. Waiter was fantastic and so was the food. I’ve tried Mexican at a lot of places in the UK and this is by far the best! The closest to my beloved Tex-Mex. It’s a bit of a drive (an hour or so) but so worth it! ”
“ Another great meal at this fantastic restaurant. Food, staff and setting is always perfect. Highly recommend. ”
“ Really great meal at Amigos, very reasonably priced, and the food is SO GOOD. I hadn't been before, but will definitely be back! I asked for mine without beans or sweetcorn, this was no issue, the waitress was lovely, attentive but not overwhelming. Jug of Margherita was tasty and good value. Vegans, veggies and allergies all catered for. Definitely leave room for the gorgeous puddings. Really recommend a visit, it deserves every bit of it's reputation. ”
“ Amazing food, and especially amazing service from Jim - we’re recently moved to the area and this has been our favourite meal out yet! 10/10 - 100% recommend. We had tacos, fajitas and spicy chicken wings. ”
“ Delicious food. Great for coeliacs as plenty of gluten free options. Also lots of vegetarian options. Big portion sizes, friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be back! ”
“ Food and service is super quick. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The food is amazing! Really recommend the Birria Tacos , they were sensational. Tortilla was crispy and a nice amount of cheese inside, not to mention the tender, juicy beef . Thanks amigos! ”
