We've been to this restaurant twice and both times we really enjoyed it. Located in a strip mall off Pope Ave, it's not exactly fine dining. However, if you want good, unpretentious, reasonably priced Mexican food, you might like this place. The owner is on the premises and it shows. He's a good guy who cares about delivering a good...

Was looking for Mexican restaurant within walking distance of our hotel and saw great reviews for Amigos. Trip Advisor has never let us down, and Amigos was no exception. Great food, huge portions, cool "ambiance" with license plates from all over the world on the walls. Didn't hurt that owner is a Red Sox fan and had the game on... More

Huge burritos! I had the steak quesadilla. It was delicious. Prices were reasonable. Taco Bell is probably cheaper, but not as filling.

We recently moved back to the Carolinas from LA so we know mexican and margaritas. Excellent fish tacos, great bbq chicken salad, and huge burritos. Margaritas were outstanding and packed the right punch. Yes this is in a strip mall but we have always found that the best mexican is found in strip malls or from food trucks. Amigos is... More

I was just introduced to this gem about two months ago and I cant get enough! The BBQ chicken salad is TOPS! The fresh salsa bar and queso is no joke. So yummy. I had a margarita for the first time a few days ago and it was strong and flavorful. I just wish they had more of a "resturant... More

I had high hopes after reading the reviews but unfortunately it was a letdown for me. 3 issues:1)was famished when I arrived an dove right into the guacamole and chips. Chips are very good but guacamole was foul. Very bland and I think it is made with mayonnaise, yuck! Salsa was fresh and tasty. 2)tried to strike up a conversation... More

Lets get a couple of things straight, first our Tacos come with two tortillas and you were told that, you ordered TWO tacos and you paid for TWO tacos. Second our guacamole is not made with mayonnaise and is very good and made fresh 3 or 4 times a day. I have had no complaints from anyone else, but being... More

Amigos restaurant is amazing. The best salad that I have ever had in my life! The best margarita's as well. Also, the fajitas are amazing!!! They will cook it any way you like - I am on a strict diet - and they cooked all my food in olive oil. It was so delicious!

After reading all the reviews, we expected something special...but instead got poor service from rude staff. They charge for extra like chips that have come for free at every mexical restaurant I have ever been too...and the meal was just blah food at resort prices. The location is stuck in a parking lot next to a grocery store...but it is... More

This is the best mexican food I have had. No joke! Do not visit Hilton Head Island without eating at Amigos. We found Amigos by asking the locals where they go and they directed us there. The Margaritas are amazing. I had the BBQ chicken salad & my boyfriend ordered the veggie burrito (huge). Definitely add the guacamole to what... More
