Los Amigos Taqueria Y Tienda

My husband is from California so he loves good, authentic Mexican food. The tacos were incredible. Everything was fresh and hot. I ordered a side of guacamole and the lady went back there and MADE IT FRESH. We will definitely go back on a regular basis.

I’m from San Diego so I know authentic Mexican foods… These people do great ! It’s a step under San Diego. I got three chicken tacos no onions add cheese. Meat is great not hard not too soft or chewy with a great taste. Tortillas were AMAZING. It wasn’t the most clean establishment and they barely could take my order due to a language barrier BUT THEY GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT and their horchata is made fresh for you I’ve never had such good horchata. One thing is I could have used a lot more lines hehe I love limes ⁵⁄₅ p

My boyfriend and I got takeout based on the previous reviews… needless to say the music was so loud the server could not hear our order. The establishment was noticeably dirty and unsanitary. They did not use gloves and handled all the food with bare hands and when I got my chimichanga there was a lot of hair in it… GROSS! We will not be returning and do not recommend this restaurant until they clean up a bit.

Absolutely a wonderful meal. We ordered three al pastor tacos, three carne asada tacos, one cheese enchilada, one Al pastor slopes, side of beans and rice, a medium guacamole, salsa verde, and chips y pico de gallo. The steak was incredible! Seasoned so impeccably. They put grilled onions on it as well. Plus cilantro and raw white onion. De-​lish!!! The al pastor was made with pineapple. OMG! Still craving more. The sope was perfectly made. The cheese enchiladas was HUGE. Enough for all four of us to share. I asked that it come half red/​green sauce to taste both. So good. The pico and chips. So good. The sala verde, yum!!! Oh, the beans were so good and rice was ok. But, that’s on me. I don’t care for any type of rice. My family really seemed to enjoy it though.
This place is authentic!!! Coming from California, authentic Mexican is a staple!!! I live in souther California, and will travel 7 hours just to hit up a family favorite taqueria in the Mission district of San Francisco. Yes, it’s that good.
I plan on returning before I going home. My parents now have a taco joint that is good,
Attached is a store and meat market — you can get Mexican pastries and bolillos for sandwiches. Nice small store with goodies.

I have been looking for the real Mexican food experience since moving to Pinellas County. Don’t let the outside fool you. This is the real deal. Thank you!

I have lived in or around Clearwater for the better part of 20 years and I’m pretty sure this is the most authentic Mexican food I have had the pleasure of experiencing.
The 1^st trip earlier this week I simply saw the reviews here on Unilocal and figured I should try it. I ordered a few Bistec Tacos and a couple Campechano (steak and sausage). I preferred the Bistec and was very pleased with the excellent flavored Beef, and the simplicity of the limes, cilantro, and chopped onion to accompany the protein inside the home made corn tortillas.
I also enjoyed the Campechano, which was the same beef mixed with what I think was Chorizo.
The atmosphere was clean, and made me feel like I walked in off the street in Mexico as Soccer was on TV and there were many actual Mexican patrons enjoying Modelo and listening to music. Very cool place!
This time I got the Bistec con enchilada which had about 4 pieces of thin steak on top of real enchiladas and a side of wonderful authentic rice and insanely good beans.
They have 2 sauces that they give you with the tacos, a green (verde) and rojo (red). The red sauce packs a spicy punch, but I could probably drink it, as it has an incredible taste. I preferred it over the verde which was also good.
I posted pics of the menu the best I could (1^st post on Unilocal) and when you order you are going to need to speak your order in the best espanol you can muster up.
I also spoke with the chef/​owner (I am assuming here) and he was very helpful and pleasant! Enjoy!

If you like really good Mexican «street tacos»…This is your place. I have never been disappointed going here. It is my go to spot when I want authentic Mexican food and a cold Corona. Brush up on your Español and bring cash so you can leave a tip for your server.

YES! Now that is how you make delicious food! Located in a strip mall, you walk in and one section is a small grocery, and the other larger section is the restaurant. First impressions were good, hole in the wall places typically offer up some authentic grub.
The waitress came up to me immediately and took my drink order. Salsa and chips were brought out. The salsa had a chipotle taste and definitely had some heat. It grew on me as I ate it.
I ordered a carnitas burrito and a pork torta. I seriously underestimated the amount of food that was about to be bestowed upon me. The burrito was huge, and the torta was nothing to scoff at either.
The pork torta, ahhhhh, the pork torta. The pork was moist and juicy and flavorful, the bread was great, everything about it was phenomenal. The burrito was also very tasty. They brought out a very large cup of sour cream and a bottle of green sauce as well. I ate enough for two people and my total bill was $ 14.42.
The chef also poked his head out and wanted to make sure everything was to my liking. Yes, yes it was. This may be my new place for Mexican cuisine… actually, I’ve decided: this is my new place for Mexican cuisine. I can’t wait to go back, I can’t get that pork torta off my mind.

I love this place I’ve been eating here many times now. I would recommend to anybody who wants authentic Mexican food.

This is for the tienda only. It’s a small place, but carry authentic Mexican specialties. They have Coke hecho en México!!! …among other sodas made with real sugar instead of corn syrup. *there is a difference*

Disappointing. I tried the tacos and the chile relano. The pepper was bland, soggy and incredibly oily and the ranchero sauce it was topped with was bland and oily as well. The chorizo taco meat was black and burnt and the al pastor and chicken tacos were unmemorable. Will not be back.

Food was really good but beware of the prices on the menu. When I questioned that I was being overcharged, not knowing if the waitress understood what I was saying, she just walked away. I questiond the cook and he said the prices don’t accurately give the correct price. I said that I thought that was really wrong and they should correct their menu. I reluctantly paid $ 7.00 more than I should have.

I ate at Los Amigos Taqueria a number of times on my search for the best taquerias in Pinellas. While few of the taquerias come close to the flavors I’ve found in the southwest, my goal has been just to find the best we have and enjoy.
This taqueria is located in a strip mall on Missouri Ave, inside Los Amigos grocery market store, just turn left once you enter the building. The interior is neat and clean, there are about 8 – 10 tables and booths with plenty of space for dining in, and the service has always been quick and efficient. I will say that Los Amigos has many atmosphere ingredients that I’ve found are usually signs of a good taqueria:
1. Few or no one dining there that looks like me, meaning the flavors are usually authentic.
2. Menu in Spanish.
3. A soccer game on the TV.
4. Great Mexican pop and Mariachi music blaring through the sound system.
5. Cold Tecate beer (big bonus points as in many local taquerias you can’t drink beer in the dining area onsite, even if it’s sold in the grocery store).
The Spanish menu is extensive, but I usually stuck to the tacos, which were quite tasty, filling, and well-​seasoned. Prices are quite reasonable, and I thought a very good value. A bit of knowledge of Mexican dishes is a great help. If you don’t know the Spanish names, the wait staff is very eager to help.
So far, La Cabana del Tio is the best taqueria I’ve found in Clearwater, but LAT is a good bit above average. My scores for LAT on a Pinellas taqueria 5-​point scale:
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 4
Food: 4
Value: 4
Don’t forget to shop the well-​stocked grocery store if you like to cook up your own Mexican fare at home.

Eating as I type, it’s THAT good.
Wanted something «different» for lunch today… and I have heard nothing but great things about this place. Authentic Mexican «corner store» with dining area, dancefloor, & pool tables.
I don’t speak much Spanish, but I know what I wanted…
The Pork Torta. Picture a stubby «hoagie roll» full of delicious roast pork, avacodo, sliced tomatoes, chopped onions, & some kind of black bean mole?
I only waited about 5 minutes or less, and it’s out of this world.
Yum. Yum. YUM.

I ate here for lunch yesterday, had the revuelta (everything) pupusa which was not that great. For my main course i had the Chili Rellenos stuffed with cheese, they were really good, the sauce was different, kinda of a light red or orange colored and tasted kinda veggie.
This is not a formal or fancy lunch place, it’s a mexican greasy spoon, I would eat here again… and I did!
I ate here a second time, had the steak and enchiladas. The enchiladas as far as I could tell were just some corn tortillas covered by lettuce, crumbly cheese and avocado slices. The steak was very tender and tasty and the avocado was delicious! Walking around the store next door I saw a huge fried thing it was about 16″ around and looked like an elephants ear, turns out it was pork skin.
Go try this place.
