I was sitting at the sloppy Joe's across the street drinking a Dr Pepper when I spotted the sign, "Amigos" and something about a square taco. I left key west before I could try the spot but for some reason those words, "square taco", were engrained in my brain. I had to have it. Never in my 2 decade life have I seen a square taco and the thought of it entering my pie hole intrigued me. Fast forward two days and I am back in Key West with a game plan. I was going to eat the square taco. I walk up and I'm hyped up ready to try this food. A sign outside of the door saying "best taco 2019" furthered my curiosity and set my expectation high. I ordered the beef taco with the square corn tortilla. I am a corn tortilla lover so knowing this tortilla would not only be a quadrilateral parallelogram, but also my preferred ingredient, made me excited to try fill my stomach. Finally, after a short wait, it arrived. I opened the foil and laid eyes upon it. THE square taco. Something was wrong however. The structural integrity of the corn tortilla was compromised. Two splits appeared without me picking up the finished product. Immediately my smile turned around. I knew this was either an older corn tortilla or there was not enough oil involved in the process of making the edible wrapper of the beef contents. In a bite I could feel the dryness in the tortilla. Without a drink it would be a struggle to get this thing down to your stomach. I was only able to scarf down 3/4 of the dry, singular taco before I had to feed it to one of the trash cans. Inner contents were feasible for a taco but if you're coming here for the square taco and happen to be as enthralled with this idea of a new shaped food, you will be let down, disappointed, and leave thinking where you went wrong. Would it have been better to have never tried the taco and kept the paradisal form of this food item in my mind, or is the disappointment I faced a punishment for a crime committed in a previous life? read more

Came on a Saturday late afternoon for a quick meal. I understand they were busy and likely understaffed. Ordered 2-16oz margaritas, one strawberry one lime. Brought 1-16oz strawberry and 1-20oz lime but said since it was their mistake they wouldn't charge us. Ordered chips and salsa that never came. Ordered the fish tacos, the fish was good and the square tortillas are an interesting concept. The rice tasted like it was made in a microwave and the beans weren't anything special. Bill came with the chips and salsa on it so literally had to chase down the waitress to have it removed. It was fine for a quick meal but I won't go back. read more

Key West is filled with many unique characters. You'll come across plenty of oddities, laid back bros, and people you may have never seen before (just spend a sunset in Mallory Square). But the one thing you'll find the most is friends. Well, in this case let's call them Amigos (and let's make it an eating establishment, just to be clear). Luckily, most of those aforementioned abstracts stay away from this place because Amigos has its own awesome vibe going on. It's not big, but has enough character through its eclectic Mexican feel to make Amigos feel mucho grande. The best place to sit is at the countertop that faces the corner of Greene and Duval Street. You'll get a perfect glimpse to people-watch all the interestingness that passes up and down this main drag. Oh, and you can eat while you do this too. My coworkers and I, on our recent Key West getaway, dined here almost every morning as Amigos makes some high quality comida. Their menu breaks down between American, Mexican, and Cuban, bringing together tastes that you honestly don't find at enough Spanish spots. I ventured under the Mexican umbrella with a hint of Cuban. My first dish was Migas. This consisted of three scrambled eggs, corn tortillas, sautéed onions, poblano peppers, tomatoes, Colby jack cheese, and cilantro as well as a potato patty on the side and a choice of toast (Cuban bread, because it's amazing). I also went for a side of chorizo potatoes, because why not? I was on vacation. But seriously, Migas, you have mi corazon. This combination of flavors and tastes were nothing short of incredible and if I hadn't turned into a man of curiosity over the last few (edible) years then I would've repeated its delicious wonder. Instead, our second morning here had me going after a favorite dish of mine: huevos rancheros. It's become a staple for breakfast aboard the cruises I take most summers, but Amigos' version was on another level. Three fried corn tortillas topped with fried eggs, black beans, roasted tomatillo salsa, ancho chili sauce, cotija cheese, and topped with avocado and sour cream. No Cuban bread with this one, but it wasn't needed. The flavors melded so well together especially when I cut into the runny egg. I could've died and gone to ranchero heaven (if that's a thing). I did add those chorizo potatoes again, just for kicks, and created round two of a breakfast I won't soon forget. Overall, Amigos is my numero uno place for breakfast in Key West. There are a ton of other spots so it's worth trying as much as you can, but I promise, you won't be disappointed here (apparently the breakfast burrito is also insanely good). And hey, if you're not stopping in for a morning meal, you can always come back later at night to grab a drink and continue to watch the wonders of human activity along Duval Street. Enjoy, mis amigos. read more

Fried avocado taco delicious, fried fish (mahi mahi) delicious, grilled fish ok. They were super friendly and sweetly walked the tacos across the street to the tiki bar. The chips were hot n salty. read more

They have some of the best vegetarian tacos I have ever had. The fried avocado taco is too good. The other vegetable tacos also have a wide variety of vegetables other than the usual 2-3 which we get dumped with in other shops for veggie tacos. They even have basmati rice which makes the dishes very flavorful. Things I would change: Their signature sauce was garlic aioli which I couldn't taste as I don't do garlic. Would be good if they had a replacement sauce for that without garlic. read more

Amigos - Vegetarian taco platter - Mexican Near Me - Key West, Florida

I don't understand why people give this place such great reviews. When we arrived, we waited a while before the host came to greet us. Plus, a lack of friendliness from the server. The food was average; nothing to write home about. I had the tacos, fried fish, grilled fish, and shrimp. To top it off, they were out of vegetables. read more

Cozy taco bar with generous portions, friendly service, and reasonable prices. The nachos were amazing and fed two of us for dinner!

Food was chronically underwhelming, didn't even cut my child's quesadilla Food comes with bland white rice read more

The menu looked interesting at this place with large windows facing the street so has a mixed outdoor and indoor ambience. We got the beer battered fried avocado tacos which were very well made with plenty of toppings in a Taco to fill you up- 4.5/5 The spicy potato appetizer was average and nothing spectacular - 3/5 Corn on the cob was well made but lacked some kick to it 4/5. The service was average even what seemed to be a slow Saturday evening. The servers/waiters were standard and would not give us a table we wanted because it was a "table of 8" and we were 4, especially when more than half of the restaurant was empty! 3/5 A good place for some vegetarian/vegan quick bite when you're just walking around the town. read more

Great service, great food. Do yourself a favor and get the street corn. Really fun atmosphere, especially at night.

From San Diego and it's almost like home we tried the nachos and quesadilla like a pit stop between 4 people and it was perfect to keep us fueled and walking around. This spot I'll recommend. Service was very good just like most spots around. The spot is like a bar but they have a section with AC and it was worth it read more

We got to Key West late & wanted something quick & easy. I would say to pass up this place & go somewhere else. Was it edible? Sure. But many negatives. The margarita was too sweet, if im ordering a regular one it shouldn't be. The food...my taco shells were too hard, so u cooked them too long, chicken&beef, nothing to write home about, bland. The 2 hotsauces were both too hot, I want to add flavor to my food, not mask it, although from my experience it probably wasn't a bad idea. Not worth stopping. Our waitress was very nice,so my 2 stars are for her....next read more

Great, friendly service. Love the atmosphere. Food was 10/10. The nachos are amazing- not one soggy chip!

We randomly picked this place to relax on the Duval st, all the items we ordered is very authentic. I liked the shrimp and fish tacos. Not very expensive and not busy. One of my favorites on Duval st. read more

Quick trip to Key West to see family. Ate at Amigos twice! Square taco fun, nachos were amazing but roasted Corn outrageous-eat it hot not as wonderful cold. Large servings. read more

Amigos is a good place to stop for mexican food in between drinks at the bars on Duval street. The food is a good portion and its filling. I found that the food was average based on flavor. I felt that there could have been more flavor, more "umph." It wasn't bad, but I found a different go to on the island when it comes to tacos. The thing that this place has above other mexican restaurants is its location. The staff wasn't the friendliest either; our waitress was rushing us and hardly seemed like she cared. That is expected considering they are in the middle of a drinking utopia, but other restaurants have found the motivation to be polite. Eating here is really on you, whether you decide to take the gamble or not. read more

Dropped our bags at the hotel and headed over to Amigos for tacos and people watching. Let's start by saying this place has the best tacos in town! I had the fried avocado tacos. Vegetarians, this is totally your jam. For carnivores, Amigos doesn't disappoint. Lots of options of beef and chicken. The refried black beans are extremely tasty. Wash everything down with a cold beer or margarita. The best part...you can enjoy delicious food for a price that won't break the bank or leave you hungry. read more

Just wow! This truly is a treasure to find. I cannot say enough about how amazing the food tasted and the service was great too! If you're looking for Mexican food that's worth your money, this is a place to go. The logo is sick! read more

While on vacation in Key West I searched on Yelp for some fresh guac and chips with a side of a margarita and I stumbled on this little place. Not too much seating here so get there early. It's right off the main Duval St, in fact we were in Sloppy Joe's when there it was, across the intersection. The food & drink were excellent, but plastic cups for beers & margaritas? I didnt care for that. But I definitely enjoyed the taste, fresh salsa, guac, and a margarita made right. read more

Went on a key west tour and stopped by this place for lunch. Got a beef burrito which was actually a really good value. The taste was comparable to a chipotle or Taco Bell burrito (I'm not a burrito connoisseur at all) but it was a decent sized burrito. The value was decent I think I paid $7-8 for it, and the quality of the food was great. I will say that the waitress had a bit of attitude when we asked if we could order now since we were in a rush to make it to our next tour. She responded with "well that's why I'm here" without a smile or joking sense. Maybe she was having a bad day or something, but sure. But we let it slide lol. I'm sure the other wait staff would have been more pleasant. Still, would recommend if you're craving a solid burrito, and maybe need to get out of the heat like us lol. read more

Amigos - Beef burrito. Pretty hefty. $8 I think - Mexican Near Me - Key West, Florida

Some of the best home made food with a lot , if not all made in house. Service was great from the time we walked up to be seated. The corn shell tacos were some of the best I've had. The hot sauce to add is hot, but the flavor is awesome. read more

Menu say $21.99 for fish tacos. You can imagine my surprise when my receipt had no itemization and came to $29+ for just 3 tiny fish tacos, which tasted fine, nothing special. Didn't bother asking about the bill because service was a surprisingly slow. Decided they tipped themselves already and to cut my loses. I won't be back personally. read more

Great food but poor service. The place is on a busy strip with lots of options for food abs drinks. We chose this place as kids were interested in some Mexican food and the place looked interesting. Right from the get go the hostess seemed disinterested in serving us but since we were starving we decided to wait to be served our food was served. Then ever time we were asking to be served it was ignored if it wasn't was the guy working there who had the most amazing attitude we would have got up and left. read more

Food was insanely good and the service was fast. Got the assortment of 3 tacos and each flavor was amazing!

Delicious food! We had several different tacos and quesadillas. All delicious! Service was good! Outside seating was a a little hot to sit in the summer! Further inside the restaurant was cooler. Will definitely be back. read more

Do yourself a favor and go here if you are in Key West. Amazing margaritas and the burrito is so big that my boyfriend and I had to share it. We had so much fun there, the place is really cool to hang out and the staff was very friendly. I can't remember how long we were there but I know that we enjoyed every single bite. We are constantly talking about taking a vacation back to Key West so we can go back to Amigos. We have the to-go cups at home and think about their margs all the time! read more

A great location to sit and people watch. The beer was cold. Food was good. Quick service.
