User Reviews of Amigos Original Tex Mex

Yelp.com Review - by Janene H.

3.0 of 5 stars. I hear a lot of talk about how good Amigo's USED to be; there are even awards at the entrance of the dining room that remind you of this. The inside was a little dark and dank but still comfortable....

2.0 of 5 stars. I remember when Amigo's opened back in the late 80s/early 90s. The food was fresh. The service was decent. You could count on a 2 hour wait to get in, an incrediblel meal, and an opportunity to...

I so love this place. I've never been to the other locations, but the one in Altamonte is one of my very favorite restaurants around. Their queso sauce is *the* best!! I've never had anything bad here. The...

Great food, great service

I have been to the Altamonte Amigos at least 10-15 times a year for the last 6 years since moving to Altamonte and most of my experiences have been great. I think I can remember two times out of all those...

Best Salsa in Orlando

I truly just go here to eat chips and salsa, it is by far the best I have had in Orlando. I usually end up getting quesidillas or a lunch special with my meal, and the food is pretty good. I have never had bad...

YUMMY!

Love the mexican food! Making the Guac at the table is great! The service has been great, if you go early no need to wait for a table. But if you wait too long the line is out the door.

Not recommended

If you love Velveeta

Velveeta is the cheese of choice at Amigos. That must be what puts the "Tex" in "Tex-Mex". My husband enjoyed the fajitas, but we both hated the salsa. It was very bland and had an odd texture.

Food worth the trip.

The decor needs sprucing up. However, the food is worth overlooking the sad worn appearance.

User review by deekayen

The whole restaurant seemed run down. Salsa was bland and watery. The booth we stat at had rips and worn off tape for rips through the fake leather that curled up and poked my legs through the whole meal.
