An issue I run into with Mexican restaurants is that they all seem to taste the same. I see this especially with combo plates. I ordered a combo plate here the other night, and while some of the items tasted the same as other restaurants some were definitely better. I really enjoyed the poblano. The salsa and queso were super flavorful and that’s one of the things I scrutinize the most. I did not order a margarita but I heard they have the best ones around. The service was good, the restaurant was clean. The amount of food for the price was unbeatable. I’ll be back for sure. Also if you’re wondering, they serve Pepsi products.
Great food from a large and varied menu, large portions, and friendly staff! I’ve been coming here for over twenty years! There is a reason why the parking lot is always full. Come see why El Amigo can be “your friend” today!
Having been living in Kannapolis since 2007 I am very familiar with the quality of El Amigo, however, after todays dinner I can assure you that the quality has significantly degraded. When ordering to go in the past they packaged meals in an aluminum container with a plastic lid. This is vital to excellent Mexican food as it quickly becomes cold and compromises it’s taste, as it has today. Additionally, when ordering a California burrito and asking for the guac on the side 3 times on the phone emphasizing the point, they completely forgot to provide the side of quac. The chips are from a different distributor of less quality in addition to them being cold. The salsa has too much jalapeño, I am very familiar with the usual taste. Thanks El Amigo for making my dog Dakota enjoy her dinner.
