The ambience at El amigo is awesome! The first thing I noticed was their outdoor seating area, which is comfortable and yet shady. Very inviting. And inside is spacious and clean. They have a nice big bar and beautiful wood furniture. Very comfortable. The service is pretty quick and friendly.
I thought the food was just average. Though they do give a nice size Mojito! The Machaca with chorizo sausage was pretty good, but a little over salty. I know chorizo is salty, but not this salty. And the Carnitas looks incredible, but it really wasn’t that flavorful. Same with the table salsa. Looks great, tastes okay, but a little on the bland side.
I feel like I should give it another try because everything just looks so delicious. It’s just that the flavorful fullness didn’t match the looks.

Went during the week to have dinner for my Mother-in-Law’s birthday. Very clean and a beautiful restaurant. Food was fantastic, I ordered a wet carne asada burrito with red sauce & guacamole to have with our chips.
The chips were very fresh & nice & hot when served to our table!
Service was outstanding & they do a great job in making sure your soda & waters are filled without asking. 🙂
Definitely a great spot for Mexican food with great service!
Will be coming back as my husband’s Mom loved it.
Thank you for the great food & service!

The pazole soup was pretty good. Not too greasy and flavorful. The meat was a little chewy. The chips and salsa were hot and fresh the salsa had a nice flavor just a little thinner than my preference. The waitress was nice and friendly. I would return

This is my family’s Go To restaurant for celebrations. The servers are quick and attentive. There is spacious indoor dining and they have a nice sized patio that is accommodating for my small dog. The chips, salsa and fresh guacamole are the best! You can’t go wrong with the crunchy tacos and sizzling fajitas.

First time here and we really enjoyed it. Table side fresh guacamole was excellent. Margaritas were very good to but a little to big for me. Next time I will order a smaller one. Our dinner came out hot and delicious. I had 2 beef enchiladas with rice and beans but was only able to finish one. Definitely give you a lot of food. Staff was very friendly and made sure our needs were met. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends. There was also live music outside

First time here. Their Machaca was delicious and one of the best I’ve had. Family members had the posole and they were not impressed. Service was a bit slow but it was mother’s day so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. We sat outside and the atmosphere was chill and relaxing. I may not go out of my way to go here again but if I’m in south San Jose I may go back.

Went here last year, enjoyed it so much I came back. Had the machaca today, chilli relanos last time. Both are good. The machaca could have been a little more flavorful, but I get it, not all people can handle the spice. Nothing some salsa can’t fix.
Will probably make this a routine meeting spot.

I ordered the margarita on the rocks with birria tacos, and both were absolutely amazing! The margarita was perfectly balanced—refreshing and not too sweet. The birria tacos were packed with flavor, with tender, juicy meat. I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the food and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend

5 of us tried this place for the first time on a recommendation from a co-worker. It was really busy for a Wednesday dinner time. Waitress was nice, funny and spoke mostly Spanish to us. We waited almost an hour for food, but were given chips and salsa as we waited. Decor was nice too. Food came, rice and beans good all around. Burritos filled with beans and meat were good. Crispy taco came with chicken, I asked for beef. Both tacos were greasy. 1 bite of chicken taco, meat was dry. A fixed beef taco finally arrived but meat had weird taste to it. It did not look like shredded beef or ground beef to me. I did not eat the tacos. We did get table side quacamole made so fresh and quite tasty. I just wish the avocados were cold. Also wish that for about 12 dollars… wish they had used more than 2 avocados for 5 people.
Everyone liked their respective combo plates of a burrito and tamale, super good and enchilada, good too. Taco salad no picture was good, but filling inside was sparse. The fried chicken with fries and rice and beans was awesome.
Overall, service was good. Food was ok. Prices were about 18 to 20 bucks a plate. Many plates came with Rice, beans and a small salad.
Only 1 woman bathroom and 1 man bathroom. Both dirty, but maybe because they were so busy. Waitress mentioned that during the week it is not as busy … but weekends do get busy.

Good food. As you can see from the picture, fried avocado was delish. Maybe next time i should take a picture before i start eating Price seemed high for Mexican food but you get good portions. Sorry if you are dairy intolerant their dishes seem to have a lot of cheese.
