I'm in your new management and ownership. went in the other night amazing!!! kids room clean the books for the kids to play with private area for the kids to play if they don't feel like eating. wide open spaces live music fast friendly service. found myself my new favorite place.

if you like slow service, paying for drink refills, and expensive ala cart, not so delicious menu items, then this is the place for you.

We used to LOVE this place. We've recommended it to numerous friends over the years and used to eat there ourselves 2-3 times a month.

That was before the little Manager (Owner) tried to pocket my twenty dollar bill.

Let me take you back in the action and describe what led up to her attempting to steal my twenty.

1st: Los Amigos runs ads on a popular "Dining" Web site that offers 15% off meals of $35 dollars or more.

2nd: We attempted to used one of the aformentioned coupons, and were told that our food bill needed to be $45 (Although the coupon states $35, we accepted her reasoning eventhough we were $8 short of $45.)

3rd: We go back again, rack up a $70 bill (which is tough to do in a Mexican restauarnt) try to redeem a coupon only to find out "We don't except any coupons!?!?)

WTF: Then, as I was paying cash, I give her $100 on a $70 tab (Expecting to leave a tip) then after scouring the bill, I realize they included a 18% tip. Manager/Owner comes back with $10 in change. When I asked her for my $20, she started with the ol' " I don't speak good English" thing. It took me 10-minutes of arguing and a quick Math 101 refresher for her to give me my money.

What a scam this place is... Not worth.

BTW: Server was awesome, food lacked any originality and flavor.

When you enter Los Amigos you are welcomed with your typical Mexican Restaurant décor and a nice large bar. Also as soon as you walk in one of the staff sings out "Welcome, amigos!" and then the staff calls you "amigo" at every opportunity. We went for an early dinner at 5:00 and were the only people there.


The menu offers more than the usual Mexican and Peruvian cuisine with taco/burrito/enchilada suspects, serving up smoky moles and jalapeño-packed pico de gallo, lime-drenched ceviche, tender chile-rubbed carnitas, and much more.


I started off my night with a Margarita on the rocks. I LOVE margaritas but I must say I was disappointed in this one. I could tell they didn’t use fresh ingredients and used a sweet and sour mix. No matter how many times I stirred it each time I took a sip I got a blast of sickly sweetness, or puckering sourness or tequila. I finished it but there was no way I was getting a second one for the price of around $6.00 per drink. My husband got his typical soda and was surprised that for $1.50 there were no refills.


The chips and salsa they serve you while you gander the menu is addicting. We were not sure if the salsa was house made but it had a nice kick and was very fresh tasting!


My husband got the Carnitas ($12.95)- Pork chunks cooked golden brown, delicately seasoned with secret spices, herbs and beer and served with rice, beans and tortillas. The meat was tender and sweet. We were very impressed with it but we think it may have been the Carnitas form the day before- but it still tasted good.


I had the La Favorite ($10.95) - One burrito with beef tips, one chicken enchilada, and one special tostaguac (A flat crisp corn tortilla covered with beef and beans, lettuce, cheese, guacamole and chopped tomatoes). Overall everything was cooked well but was lacking something- it was very bland I thought. I did squeeze some fresh lime juice on it and some salt which both helped but it was still missing that something that made it good.


Overall, the atmosphere is nice and friendly but the majority of the food was below average. The price for food was good but I thought a bit high for their drinks for what it was and the serving. It is in a great location of the Hamilton/Lauraville area but we aren’t sure if we would go back again.


Note: They took our email for some reopening?????? They didn’t give us any details on that. Sorry no pictures on this visit.
