Los Amigos

I was very disappointed today! I went in with my best friend who was already had a bad day, into los amigos. As we got there we got chips and salsa as always. All my friend and I wanted was a fried ice cream to share. Since she was having a bad day from school I wanted her to feel better by taking her out. As our ice cream came out it didn’t even have a shell which is our favorite part and not only that it was old. As any other person I told our waitress and she told her manger. He came over there and I told him it tasted old, it wasn’t just me either because my best friend said the same thing when she tried it. He told us he would be back and never came back. Our waitress gave me the bill and I was charged $ 7.99 and on the menu it was $ 4.99 and it for something we didn’t even eat and chips and salsa. We never get charged for that. So went I went to pay and the manger said that he didn’t care if we liked it, and said he was charging us for chips and salsa. After my best had a bad day at school, she had a even worse day thanks to them! I was very disappointed, and so was my best friend!

Los Amigos used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The last two times we have eaten there, we have been disappointed. The most recent experience was pretty unpleasant (though not dreadful).
The service was mostly great. We were promptly greeted & seated upon arrival. Our drinks came quickly. Our server answered our questions to the best of her ability, kept our drinks full, and even joked with my toddler. The food runners are always a little impolite, but understandably so as rushed as they are.
Upon sitting down, we noticed they have gone up on their prices ($ 1.50 for a side of sour cream???). I ordered the «El Combo Special» ($ 13.50) because I couldn’t decide what I wanted. I ordered «chicken nuggets» ($ 4.95) for my daughter. The chicken nuggets (which were very generously proportioned) came first (as requested). We were given a dingy, old old old, bottle of ketchup that tasted horrible. The chicken had the same texture as a mcnugget from McDonald’s (gross!), and they had no flavor whatsoever.
My food arrived next. I tried each item included with the meal. The chile rellano was colorless, and bland bland bland. The pepper didn’t even have flavor. The chalupa was decent, but half of it was shoved underneath the chile and thus, soggy. The enchilada was also bland. The burrito tasted very salty, which is out of the ordinary. None of the dishes were worth a second bite. When our server came to check on us, I sent food back (for the first time in my life, mind you!) because I was not happy with it. She apologized. When she returned, she offered our check. We were surprised to see that we were charged for the full amount of the meal that I took (literally) 4 bites of. As we were paying, I told the cashier that I did not eat the dish. He told me I would have to talk to «her» about that, because that’s «her money.» Then he promptly walked away to find my server, they discussed for a moment, then he returned. I started to apologize for being a pest, but he cut me off to tell me my total would be $ 28. I was still charged $ 5 for my meal, and never told why I was paying AT ALL for a meal that I did not eat.
I have been to Los Amigos many times & always enjoyed the food (ALWAYS!). But both recent visits resulted in utter disappointment. Jacking up prices to reduce food quality. That’s good business.

Probably the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten in. The service was passable but not friendly. The salsa was bland. I had the fajitas; the chicken and beef were tough and tasteless. No guacamole. At least the Modelo was cold. Skip this one, Taco Bell is better.

We had great staff here tonight. The service was excellent all the way around from the host, waiter, and management. They were quick, answered questions, and not overbearing or pushy. The waiter also had a good command of the menu and handled vegetarian recommendations well.
The food was large in portion and seems fairly fresh. It was pretty bland, though, and there was no mole on the menu. It’s hard for me to trust a Mexican restaurant that doesn’t dish up mole.

Best Mexican around! I’ve tried several other places and it’s all nasty compared to Los amigos! They have the best chips and salsa and cheese dip! U always get chicken and cheese quesadilla and my 2 younger girls get the combo; beef burrito that comes with rice and beans. Nobody beats Los amigos not puerto Nuevo, not el jimador, not papas and beer. !!! If it’s your first time to Los amigos I suggest the cheese dip with your chips and salsa as soon as you sit down !!! Mmmmmmmm

Decent Mexican food but inconsistent. Sometimes the chips are thin and fresh other times they’re dry. Sometimes the chicken is perfectly cooked, on another day it might be undercooked with no taste. The salsa can be moderately spiced or super picante. The service is professional and the place has a festive atmosphere and a comfortable bar. Now if they could only prepare their food with more consistency. I only go here about once a month and after much debate because you never know what you’re going to get.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I ended up here because it was close to a directionally challenged friend’s hotel. The service was fast and friendly and I found the food pretty good considering the location. If you’re dying for Mexican in the Clemson area I would definitely check them out.

This is not worth your time. There is absolutely no flavor. Not even salt. The salsa tasted like a mushy tomato. There wasn’t anything wrong with the food or service. Just tasted bland, dry, and lack of portion size. Taco Bell has more flavor. Skip it.

Not quite as great the second time around. I will give some credit for the fact that I wasn’t feeling that well to begin with. But, still, nothing stood out for me here this time or for any of the rest of my party either. It was okay.

My daughter review (Dawn E.) basically sums it up. The food was good (I am still looking for the best)
The only complaint I had was the waiter should have asked if we want a half pitcher of Margaritas which was a better deal,
Well I have been here 3 times. The first time the food was very good, secon time almost as good and the last time not very good… It is still the best Mexican restaurant I have found so far, but, I will keep searching. It’s a tough job, but, somebody has to do it… :-)
