    Super friendly service, very clean place with good menu. We got a burrito bowl and chicken tacos. Not bad....chicken was a little dry. Would go again and try other items on the menu.

    Birria Quesadilla

    This place is a hidden gem in Kannapolis!! They have the best birria quesadilla & tacos!! Definitely worth checking them out!

    Food isn't bad but it's not the best either. I've aren't here twice just to give them another try and it still was just blah. Not really seasoned or the best tasting compared to other authentic places I've had. Service was great both times and not that long of a wait. First time I order through a 3rd party and 2nd time I ordered to go. Ambience is nothing special but was very clean

    Small but enough seating.

    Customer service: friendly staff Food: I'll update later once I taste it. Agua fresca passion fruit: Will definitely order again.

    Massive Quesadilla

    Found this place which is listed everywhere as Taco Express and recently re-opened under a new name. Staff was real nice and this place is the real deal. Real authentic mexican and gigantic portions. Being from San Diego this place reminded me of home. I got the campechano quesadilla and it was enough for two people. Friends got tacos and also loved them. Their hot sauces are also clearly home made and both the salsa verde and hot sauce were awesome. I wish I lived closer, id be eating here alot and its definitely going to be the choice for any trip to Charlotte from Raleigh.

    There are quite a few Mexican restaurants in Kannapolis/ Concord that are good but this is the most authentic one! I have been coming here for 3 years now and have ultimately decided that they have the best authentic tacos in Kannapolis/ Concord. The owners of Amigo Taqueria are actually the same owners of El Amigo which, is located a block away by Food Lion. I personally feel that Amigo Taqueria serves better food than El Amigo. If you are Latino or have had homemade Mexican food you very clearly tell the difference between something that was made fresh and with love vs. something that was reheated in the microwave. That is the clear difference to me between visiting their smaller restaurant compared to the larger, busier one. Due to the pandemic Amigo Taqueria has had to adjust their hours to only breakfast/ lunch as well as raise their prices but, I would still rather eat a taco from here compared to any other taco spot I've ate in my 11 years of living in North Carolina.

    Tacos , chicken , shredded beef and steak   Shredding beef was my fav

    I love taco hunting! Found this little gem on yelp. Close to home and so are the tacos all three tacos were good but my favorite was the beef. The Chicken taquitos was delicious , tasted like home cooking to me (Southern California homecooking)

    I have to agree with the other reviewers. There is nothing fancy about this spot but the food is absolutely delicious. I came for tacos and was not disappointed. I tried my two favorites which are carne asada and al pastor. They were on house-made tortilla shells. The queso fundido was also divine. I would go on Tuesday as that's Taco Tuesday so all tacos no matter the meat are $1.50 each. This spot is a must try and is clearly not getting the attention it deserves. It's the most authentic Mexican experience I've had as someone born and raised in NC.

    We walked in on a Sunday night around 6:00. We were the only ones in this hidden gem. Living so…read moreclose I'm so mad we haven't found this place before today. Quesabirria spring rolls - Holy smokes. Why is nobody else doing these?!? 10/10 Catrina Burrito - shrimp, steak, and chicken smothered in a mole/cheese sauce combo. The size of my fore arm. 10/10. Chicken chimichanga - loaded with chicken fried perfectly with a crispy crust. Smothered in cheese sauce. 10/10 They make everything fresh here so we missed out on the Quesabirria special but the owner heard us asking about it and brought out an order of the Quesabirria spring rolls and smoked BBQ egg rolls to try. Server was very warm and knowledgeable. I just hate that we were the only once's lucky enough to be enjoying this place tonight. This should be a destination spot for all of Charlotte-Salisbury. PS - inside decor was great and pays tribute to Kannapolis history. These guys rock and know exactly what they are doing.

    I really wanted to like this place. Very well drawn murals on the walls, decent service, cheap…read moretacos on Tuesdays, Good Mexican beers on draft and a not the run of the mill menu. Unfortunately, the food was bad. The chips and salsa were bland. The taco meat was dry and bland. The refried beans and rice were bland. The cheese enchiladas and tostadas were bland. Are you seeing a theme here? Maybe they think Gringos prefer bland food? I'm not sure but Mexican food can be a lot of things but it should never be bland. Oh well, at least I got to try practicing my Spanish!
