My husband and I had dinner here. Very surprised by the quality of the food. Food was very delicious. For a small restaurant off the beaten path, we were not expecting it to be as good as it was. Service was good. Food arrived quickly...and was well priced.More

We stopped here on our way back home. The food was excellent as was the wait staff. And I could go on and on about their margaritas…delish. And it is right off highway 65 it is worth the stop.

Family friendly restaurant. Nice staff. Menu is was what you expect from a Mexican restaurant. We both noted that the food tasted a bit salty. Free chips and salsa. Chips were too thin for salsa dipping. Broke off a lot. Easy on and off I65.

This is some of the best Mexican food our family has ever had. We had veggie quesadilla, carnitas, and steak fajitas. In addition, the staff was friendly and fun, and the service was amazing!

Was really dark when I came in by the Bar Area. Went thru another door and a young lady asked if she could help me. I told her I wanted to place order for takeout. She had a young man help me due to language...barrier. Ordered Beef Burrito with rice and beans for husband. I ordered steak fajitas with bell peppers and tomatoes. It also came with refried beans/rice and lettuce and tomatoes and sour cream with 3 soft tortillas. I saved the rice and beans for later. It was tasty. Also, got 2 bags of chips and salsa for them. Also, ordered white cheese of which my husband usually eats. Said I could keep that due to it had jalapeno spice in it. He is now a spicy guty.More

I was impressed with the taste of their food. I usually take a plate home, but I ate it all up. My sister and I enjoyed every bit of it. We will visit again when we travel near the area. I did not enjoy the...salsa and chips.More

We were traveling and stumbled on this gem. The menu boasts that it is the best food on this side of the border. I was doubtful until I ate lunch. The chips are thin, crispy and freshly cooked. The salsa did not disappoint. We ordered...the bean dip and was very pleased. I had the BEST chile relleno that I have ever eaten and I have eaten many. It is like no other that I have had in the states. The sweet tea is truly a Southern tea too. I would highly recommend this place.More

El Amigo Mexican is located in a run down building next to the interstate. Definitely not a lot of vibe or excitement about this place. Service was attentive and friendly. We had fajitas - our favorite Mexican dish. Their fajitas were average. Just that -...average. I would say eat there if you are staying in the nearby hotels, but definitely not worth a special trip or an extra effort to get there.More

We stumbled into this place off of the highway when the place that we stopped to eat at was too busy. We weren't expecting much more than a quick meal, but we discovered a cool place with a very friendly and welcoming staff. The food...was also better than we expected. Overall, we had a very good experience, and we would eat here again without hesitation.More

This was the only nearby restaurant aside from fast food and a welcome meal after a 12 hour drive. Good food, good service, would go back.
