3 Amigos - Michelada - Mexican Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

Went here since we were in town visiting and we love Mexican. We got fajitas and this is the first Mexican restaurant that I went to where my fajitas didn't come out sizzling. It lacked a lot of flavor. Definitely not on the lost of having to return. read more

*AWESOME REVIEW ALERT!* I rarely leave five star reviews. I just had a great Mexican restaurant experience at 3 Amigos in Elizabeth City, NC! *Margaritas = ON POINT!* They have small, medium, OR large margaritas and you can get them on the rocks OR frozen... talk about choices! And let me tell you... THOSE MARGARITAS WERE DELICIOUS! The *HOUSE SALSA* was ... like, seriously good! I could've eaten it by the bucket! And the *Enchilada Entree*? Fuhgeddaboutit! Got chicken, beef, AND cheese enchiladas with rice and salad... was SO filling! BIG SHOUTOUT to *HUGO*... dude was SUPER HELPFUL! Made sure I had a solid time. I probably will DOUBLE BACK for dinner TONIGHT! Definitely gonna want to try more of that goodness! 5 STARS! read more

3 amigos is a really great choice for Mexican food in Elizabeth city. Our most recent visit was extremely good. The wait staff was attentive, the food was delicious, and overall the restaurant was clean and tidy. The chimichangas my daughter ordered were amazing and I definitely want to get that next time we go. read more

As the saying goes, don't judge a book (restaurant) by its cover (size). My wife and I stopped in Elizabeth City for a few days on our way to Topsail island. We decided on 3 Amigos for dinner. It's a good size restaurant so I was expecting mid level Mexican. WRONG! The parking lot was packed and we were seated as we walked in. The atmosphere is comfortable and not over the top. The staff were friendly and attentive even the guys cooking said hi. Okay, okay the food was authentic! They brought out the chips and two salsas. The red was good (but, I do enjoy a bit more picante) and then they had a blanco that seemed like a spicy ranch blend (different) but enjoyable. Chips were nice although we did salt them and they could have been warm (just me). I had to try the pork carnitas and they didn't NOT disappoint. The flavor was spot on. That delicious roasted pork with its mild spices and a hint of sweet. Served with the salad rice and well seasoned refried beans. My wife went for the Birria tacos! Bam! Again the flavor we spot on. From the tenderness of the beef to the onion /cilantro garnish and let's not forget that consommé broth. The flavor hit perfectly. A few things for me that would send 3 Amigos over the top. A nice green salsa (I like the spice) warm tortilla chips always hit better. Roasted jalapeños or (my favorite) Serranos. This is a solid 4.5 The reviews didn't disappoint! FYI we returned two days later and did it again! Enjoy read more

I wish I took picture of the food I had seen from my last visit in this restaurant. Service is great, Ambiance was okay, I ordered Peña Hawaiiana and side of cactus. I loved grilled cactus, the problem was, my two scoop eating the Pena Hawaiiana saw an inch long of hair stuck together with the shrimp and cheese. I called my waitress / bartender because I was dining by the bar area, and showed her the fork with food that has hair stuck on it.. She said, there's no female in the kitchen, therefore the hair should not be coming from the people who cook food there, she stated could be coming from blowing from the fan or something but not from the cook. So! My question was so the surrounding is not clean if there's dust or hair flying everywhere? She apologized but damaged was done. They made me a new one or " not new dish" to replace it. I still paid for my whole entire bills nothing was removed, so I paid the full amount with 15% tips. Why still give tip? It wasn't her fault, she wasn't a cook. But she could removed the item from the bill. I didn't want her to think I create those issue and want free food, I paid the entire bill and gave tip. BUT!!!! I will NO longer give them business again due to the UNSANITARY CONCERNS. Too bad I did enjoy going there for margarita! Lol so!!! This is just to give other customers awareness! I am a healthcare worker, and this is quite disappointing. Advice to a restaurant owner/ manager, show your customer that your restaurant / business is worth it. read more

Our family comes here every year as a pit stop for our vacation, and we've loved it every year. Entrees and drinks are great, served by a friendly staff. Prices are very cheap for the huge portions you get. Fun and clean, casual atmosphere. read more

The ambiance was nice. This place genuinely looks like it would have some authentic Mexican food. I'm sure it represents a region, just not one I'm familiar with. Huge complicated menu! The enchilada sauce tasted canned and thickened up with lots of flour or cornstarch. The rice was good. Didn't get to try the beans. It appeared that rice AND beans don't come with an entree. My husband ordered a three entree dinner and got NO rice and beans. As a previous reviewer noted, the chips should be served warm instead of cold and tasting out of the bag. The server was a nice lady, even though she wasn't attentive on refilling our drinks. Don't know if we'll try it again. I hate to say it, but I can make better at home and I'm only half Mexican. read more

The food was good and so was the service aside from the moldy bread I come here a lot this is the only time I got moldy bread

My husband and 2 of his coworkers went a week or so ago at 8pm. It seemed like only 1 male worker was actually working at that time as the others were sitting in booths playing on their phones. They waited an hour just for drinks. It wasn't even that busy. Maybe 4 tables total. When they went to talk to someone about it no one did anything so neither one of them including the families will be coming back read more

I came here after a long day of work with my coworkers. We had a table of 11 and we all had an appetite. The restaurant got us a table together pretty quickly. It was around 3ish PM and it wasn't too busy. We had a table ducked off in the corner and the restaurant was clean. I ordered a tropical martini which was delicious but I was sad because they ran out of the stuff to make it so I couldn't order a second one. I had the Birria tacos which were delicious but there was a discrepancy on the menu where it said it came with beans and rice and we never received the beans and rice and our waiter told us they don't come with beans and rice so they should probably fix that because everywhere I go tacos come with Thad side. Food was amazing so I'd definitely come again. read more

This place takes to long to bring food out and drinks and it's expensive to get anything from there

Don't normally write reviews like this but.... Staff was sooo nice!!!! They took our late reservation and our server was super nice. Unfortunately the food was a little over cooked and came out a little off on a couple of the dishes. Not sure if the kitchen was having a bad night or not. read more

Food was good, they had a pretty good menu as far as choices but very limited in the meatless options. Upon asking, I learned that the beans were indeed cooked with lard so if you are struck veg be sure to skip the beans. The serving sizes were huge which is a great value and the food was, okay. I say okay because noting compares to California Mexican food but I'd definitely give it another try. The staff was super sweet! read more

A popular Mexican restaurant amongst locals in Elizabeth City, NC, however, if you have traveled around the world, you are not missing much. The 3 Amigos restaurant is not revolutionizing anything. You get the chips and salsa, the reheated food, and the typical drinks. If you are from the area, it is probably the place to go. Mainly due to location and availability in the Elizabeth City, NC area. However, if you have traveled the world and have had REAL authentic Mexican food, then this place is not all that great. The dessert is absolutely amazing though! The prices are really affordable, the parking lot is plentiful, and the décor is beautiful. Where this place stands out is the service. It is a great place for a date, hanging out with friends, and/or a quick bite to eat. My girlfriend and I were fortunate to have a waitress that was simply phenomenal. The waitress and the desserts are the only reason why this place received 4 star rating. In short, this is not a bad place, it just is not as good as GOOD Mexican food. read more

Been coming for dinner for the last couple years every couple months and was disappointed with the quality of food. Service was ok and the place was busy but the food just did t taste good. The chile Riano was over cooked and swimming in souse. read more

Went for a late lunch, parking lot was pretty quiet from the usual because it was 2:00. We were seated right away and the waiter brought over a basket of chips and salsa. The menu was big and had a large amount of things to choose from. We ordered the cheese dip (Queso) and more chips. Our lunch came out fast. I ordered the chicken fajitas they didn't have much flavor, it lacked spices, served with rice. Others had fish tacos, he enjoyed them. Chicken quesadillas were very good, lots of chicken and served with sour cream on the side. Overall it was good but not sure we'll go back, lots of others to try. read more

Best Mexican in town. Service is always quick, food is great and they have the best white sauce and salsa in the area

It's very pricey, the food is average. But it's a date night place....that's how they keep the lights open.

Decent Mexican food, we loved the white sauce served with the chips and salsa. Service and ambiance was great.

Amazing food and service. Is a little pricey though so if you are on a budget would not recommend.

Went here with a group of people from work. We sat in a big room in the back. The atmosphere was okay but with the music and the enclosed space, it made a bad echo. This made it tough to have conversations. While ordering, I asked for guacamole for the chips at the table. They didn't bring it for a long time. When they brought it, I was also asked if I wanted fresh guacamole. In either case, the server brought both and charged me for two (miscommunication). When others asked, they just brought fresh guacamole instead of 2. The food was not good. I have had much better food at different Mexican restaurants. The fresca guacamole was pretty good but not enough to raise the rating. Our server was nice but busy enough that she was not super friendly. There were a lot of menu choices as well as some deserts. Overall, pretty bad. Would not go back. read more

It's a family tradition to come here every time it's someone's birthday every time it's very good service is ok but after the years of coming they kind of got dry and didn't really care to correct mistakes and they always blame it on the customer over all i give it a three cause of food but know that there are better places close by read more

Went for dinner here tonight.... The restaurant was super busy which is understandable for a Saturday night. We were sat at a table immediately. The staff was super friendly and polite.... The inside of this place could definitely use some upgrading.... Our table was very wobbly as were the chairs.... They brought our food out separately my daughter got hers.... Then another person then mine.... My daughter was finished eating by the time my food arrived. The waitress was super apologetic and very nice. The food was amazing!!!! The timing needs improvement but the portion sizes and flavor was AMAZING. Ordered a large strawberry margarita and had to settle for a raspberry because they ran out of strawberry, it was huge! A little too sweet for me but it was strong and good. We would eat here again.... The flavor won overall! read more

Worst Mexican food around. Bland and non authentic. So many better choices in Elizabeth City.

Food poisoning! Went to Three Amigos on Weds 5/11/2022. Ordered sour cream to go with my cheese quesadilla, and was eating it with chips and salsa. My friend also has a side of sour cream. The minute she tasted it, she said to stop eating it and told the waiter it had gone bad. He didn't seem to understand. When the other waiter came by, she told him and asked to have it removed from the to table. They didnt even take it off the bill! A few hours after I got home, I got horribly sick, it was the absolute worst! I will NEVER eat there again! It isn't difficult not to serve spoiled food, there is no we excuse for it! read more

Always a happy experience eating here. Food and service is good. No matter how busy they are, service is still great and the food is on point read more

The food and drinks are very good, be sure to go there and sit at the bar when Maricruz is working I think she is there every night but Sunday she is very good. The service is good and so is the food, they are very accommodating and ready to make a custom request I have been going there for about five years and I rarely get a bad meal. All the staff are very helpful and I have always enjoyed it. It is usually packed on Friday and Saturday nights a good time to get there is about 6:30, the decor is like a standard Mexican resturant and there is usually football on the TV, (Soccer) it is relaxing and entertaining. I will be back. read more

3 Amigos - A munch - Mexican Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

My sister who lives in Chesapeake drove us up to this restaurant when we were visiting from California. We were so impressed with the reasonable prices and even more impressed with the food. I tried a Blended margarita that was perfect and a tropical martini that I really enjoyed. Loved their great selection of martinis. My mom and I both got Steak Marimar which was fantastic..My sister who is a vegetarian got the chili relleno and said they were really great. My daughter got Pina Rellena and she loved it. There is a lot of cheese on it so ask for easy cheese if you aren't a fan of cheese , but you at least need a little Great flavors on all the food and we all had leftovers...The only thing we didn't care for too much was the deep fried ice cream. The ice cream wasn't firm and the fried part was just the shell and the cereal they put in the bowl wasn't flavored or crispy. . read more
