This is a terrific option if you are looking for a no-frills, quality food, family-owned experience. I was impressed with the menu, loaded with great options that made it difficult to decide because they were so appealing. Order at the counter when you initially arrive, and they'll serve you before the cash register because this family has it down to a science. Coca-Cola products. Loved my Carne Asada tacos, tasty, great salsa (especially the hot variety), and yummy chips. They have a new happy customer. read more

Great food, very friendly food preparer. Very fresh options, atmosphere was Everyone needs to try their food, 5 star rating read more

I really am glad that I listened to the Yelp ratings and stopped by. We didn't know what to expect. Walked into a room with bright big smiles and great smells. I didn't know what I wanted but my husband asked right away what size of wrap they used on their burritos. 13 in was what they used for their burritos. That's a ton of food. He got a burrito which then also comes with their chips and salsa. I had to ask a couple questions to figure out what I wanted. She directed me to her favorite meat. They were super helpful with all my questions. I decided to go with a chimichangas with steak. Since I wasn't into beans they let me have extra rice. I also was treated to chips and salsa. The salsa was very good. Flavorful and the perfect spice for me. The entire experience and food was great! Between the excellent customer service and full belly's I was very happy. Go! Check this place out. read more

Best place in ankeny to get a burrito,never disappointed! Friendly staff i try to eat there twice a week.

This place is new and hopefully has a tremendously bright future in Ankeny! I was indecisive and asked the guy which of my two chosen items I should choose from between the chimichanga or the steak burrito. He recommended the burrito. I went with it: steak, Mexican rice, black beans, 2 cheeses, sour cream, cilantro and mild salsa. Next time I wouldn't add salsa because it made my burrito a little too liquidy. The flavor of the meat was excellent! I loved the chips and queso as well. My husband also got a burrito but he added fresh sauteed vegetables and said it really added a great flavor. I thought the place was very clean, service and staff were excellent and very friendly. I highly recommend! read more

GREAT Mexican dining. You walk up to the counter (someone ALWAYS gives you a friendly greeting) and they ask if you're ready to order. Make no mistake, this place can by VERY busy, so if you're not prepared, just step aside, let someone else order, then get back in line. How easy is that? My chicken burrito was stuffed with meat, and I loaded it up with assortment of extras. Don't forget the chips and salsa, and get some queso too! Ankeny SO very much needed a quality place like this! read more

Amigos never disappoints! I've been here several times and the food is always on par with my taste buds. What does that mean? #Boom Get in my mouth you Glorious taste of food concoction! I like that I can see all the meat choice just sitting there marinating in all that sweet goodness. I'm a real big fan of the chicken as well as the steak tacos. Sprinkle on a little bit of cheese and some hot sauce (several options to choose from) and those bomb ass tacos go down quickly. My lunch was $11 and consisted of two tacos, rice and beans, chips and queso, and a strawberry Jarritos! read more

Casual, friendly atmosphere. Delicious huge customizable burritos, I had the Trio (chicken, steak and shrimp) and it was outstanding.

I went right at 11am when it opens and there was already a line, so I was expecting good food and man I got it! I got two al pastor and one barbacoa flour street tacos. They were so mouth watering. I ordered to go and there are so many meats to choose from and many toppings too. It also comes with free chips and salsa! I got salsa on my tacos and it had just the right amount of heat. When I'm craving street tacos, I will always be coming here. Don't worry, you can also get burritos and other lunch meals;) read more

Everything is made in front of you as you build your food and it tastes delicious! Also they have amazing margaritas that are made on order

I work close by, love Mexican food and saw the reviews and had to give it a try. I honestly wanted to give it 3 stars but I am giving it the benefit of the doubt and will come back and try some other items. I had the Chorizo street tacos. I know I am biased because I travel to Mexico often, but I have had better street tacos in Chicago at similar places. The chorizo was not that flavorful, the corn tortillas were a little on the soggy side and there just wasn't enough cilantro to set it off. The ingredients are fresh and the salsa is good, but this is not 5 star taco good. Some of the other prepared meats looked amazing and smelled just as good. I am going back to try some other options. One last thing. The service and employees are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Keep it up! read more

I was kind of confused as to why my to go order wasn't ready when I had called it in 15 minutes prior to arriving, and the person who took the call asked if I needed more time after letting me know it will be ready in 7-10 minutes luckily who ever the cook was, knew exactly what i ordered and made my food right away but the cashier was a bit flustered. she ended up having me cut in front of the lady that was in line to pay and she almost paid for my order. read more

Good food.. large servings when making a burrito or street tacos. Freshly warmed soft corn tortillas.. chips and salsa were average at best.. grilled chicken looked awesome too as a protein choice. The only dig I can give the gal making my street tacos was the "dusting" of cheese they applied to my tacos. Barely pinched any and then barely put any on the taco and actually put some back into the cheese bin.. with the rate in which they add cheese the bin in question could last months. If they figure out cheese deal and make the chips and salsa something other than an after thought it would be a 5 star.. read more

Amazing food- very fresh! Staff behind the counter is welcoming and friendly! This is always one of our go to places!

It's not a very big place but don't let that stop you from stopping in! My wife and I went here for my birthday and were blown away from how good the food was! It was reasonably priced as well, they also have tv's for people who want to watch the game while they wait for their food and while you eat your food. You definitely leave getting your money's worth!! read more

Favorite Mexican spot in Ankeny! So many options for protein in tacos, or burritos. I believe I counted 9 last time. Have gone many times and each time am satisfied with the service and also the taste of the food. Really appreciate the chips and salsa that is included with each entree item. It's awesome being able to support local businesses and highly enjoy it! Very quick if you're wanting to take to go or to sit and eat. Definitely try the medium salsa with al pastor such a good combo. read more

Amigos makes excellent burritos with a friendly staff and fast service. I got the Hawaii burrito with chicken, and I would recommend it to anyone. The burritos are massive and come with a complimentary bag of chips and salsa. The burrito and chips are enough to satiate even the largest appetites. I have eaten in and carried out, and the burrito travels well if you want to eat at home or save some for later read more

I used to be a huge Panchero's guy but Amigos has them beat. The Hawaiian Burritos are the best.

Great burritos and street tacos! They have kids size burritos too! $2.99 margaritas on Wednesdays is a great deal! We love supporting a local business. Eat in or get your food to go. read more

My husband and I ordered takeout after seeing all the fantastic reviews, and Amigos does live up to the hype!! We started out with an order of chips and queso. I am a huge fan of their queso! They don't over spice it and it's super creamy!!! Their chips were warm and cripsy. I ordered the Carne Asada burrito, it was firstly huge!!! I couldn't finish it all, and had lunch for the next day. But it was delicious, the nice thing is they have you customize it, I got it pretty simple, beans, tomatoes, rice, lettuce. It was packed full of steak and rice and the tortilla was light and crispy! I also ordered a side of refried beans which were equally delicious and very authentic!! My husband ordered the chicken quesadilla with guacamole, I had to sneak a bite and it was delicious packed full of chicken and cheese. The guacamole I will have to order as a side because it was very simple, not overly spiced but delicious!! We also each ordered a Horchata, very refreshing and delicious!!! I'm so happy to find a local place that serves it!!! This is such a great addition to the area and we will definitely be back! It also was very reasonably priced for all the food we got!! read more

Hey yo, I don't understand how this place got 5 stars but I'll give my review. Margaritas for $3.99 great price, came from a water cooler on the front counter, hard to take down(gave me heartburn right away). Ordered a burrito, made just like Pancheros does, rice was salty, meat was dry no flavor, and the condiments just slapped on. Queso was really watery for some reason. read more

This is fast good Mexican and not bad. Salsa had a lot of chili powder and guacamole had a good flavor. Chips were average. Grilled chicken and marinated pork tacos were ok with a little flavor. Shredded chicken was great! I would come back for shredded chicken only. Burrito was huge and the white rice was very flavorful. read more

Okay, so I'm going to be completely honest. I have gone back & forth with myself about posting a review about Amigo's for completely selfish reasons. This is literally now my favorite place to stop for a quick bite of Mexican food. I didn't want to share because I didn't want the word to get out and run the chance of this place becoming busy. Alas, I just can't do it. I have to be fair to the others in the Des Moines & Ankeny areas craving great Mexican food. My son & husband love the burritos that have to weigh a pound each. My son loves the trio which includes shrimp, chicken & carne asada steak. It is well worth the ten dollars & fills my endlessly hungry teen up, at least momentarily. Ha, ha. My husband loves the carne asada steak burrito filled with Mexican rice, black beans & all the fixings. I could live off the guacamole they make here! If you like street tacos they have those as well and they too are great! The staff I have come in contact with are unbelievably nice and the place has been really clean every time we come in, which is quite often. Really, do yourself a favor & try them out. I don't think you'll be sorry that you did. read more

I finally tried Amigos and it was great! Will definitely come back. Salsa is good, guac is good, an I had a steak quesadilla that was really tasty. read more

What a little gem this place is. The staff are really friendly and food is super fresh and delicious. I love my food well-seasoned and they do not disappoint. It's set up like a Pancheros or a Chipotle where you go through an assembly line. Please skip your next trip to Pancheros/Chipotle and come here instead. The food is much, much better and really fresh-about the same price, too. They have so many choices. I've never had a bad thing here. Two thumbs up all the way. read more

If you like Pancheros....you won't after eating here! Never disappoints the taste buds! Even my picky ass wife loves it!!
