We were highly over charged. Served a broken glass that cut my lip. The still over charged

It had to happen. It was simply a matter of time. My most critical review. Here's my experience as I see it: Buenos Amigos is located in an older building that once a bar that served pretty good bar food, burgers fries, etc. to the extent that in the 70s they added a restaurant area. By and by this bar became the restaurant you see today. I'm not sure how long it has been a Mexican restaurant but I ate there 10 to 15 years ago and to my recollection, for it's geopolitical location, their Mexican wasn't bad. Definitely worth another shot. Upon arrival I noticed the building is showing it's age. I wouldn't consider it a dump by any means. Just saying "It ain't new". I entered through the restaurant and just inside is a "greeting area" where an employee shows you to your seat. At the time, this area was unattended. In my estimation the restaurant area could probably seat 60 guests. While waiting I noticed around 20 or so patrons already seated. My wait was probably 3 minutes. Since I was dining alone, I decided to forgo the restaurant and eat at the bar area. Still not seeing any staff I made my way to the unmarked bar area where I was met by an employee who told me the bar was closed. I was, however led to my seat, in the restaurant. While seated I noticed a young waitress serving the other diners. Eventually she made her way to my table. I ordered the chorizo cheese dip, enchiladas rancheros, and a "regular" Margarita, on the rocks with salt. In a few minutes she brought me my (included) chips and my Margarita however I didn't get my salsa. My chips were what I'd describe as probably fried at a lower than optimum temperature and for too long. They weren't burnt but not good. I'd describe the margarita as lacking the ubiquitous citrusy flavor with a distinct smoky taste. Either this was the cheapest tequila made in New York City or just the wrong one. Nonetheless, without a doubt, the worst margarita I've ever had. While getting up to use the restroom I noticed a young man with a tray full of small bowls and several containers of salsa and thought to myself that when I get back I'll have my salsa. The restroom was clean but dated. Passable with a C+ grade. Returning to my seat I concluded that my early salsa theory was only 1/2 right. I was given a bowl and no salsa? About 10 minutes the same young man came to my table. Now I assumed it was to bring me my missing salsa. Wrong again, he told me that the restaurant was out of chorizo. (Of course they were) I canceled that item and requested my salsa. I finished my margarita (at this point for medicinal purposes) and the waitress returned with my long awaited salsa. I ordered a mango margarita. How could I go wrong? Let's find out! The salsa, texturally was fine. A little spicy hot but lacked the Cilantro like flavors. More like puréed tomatoes with hot sauce. My main dish arrived. Two enchiladas stuffed with cheese covered in sauce, cheese on the outside with ground beef piled atop. Lettuce, sour cream, and other toppings in a separate bowl. I added the veggies to my plate and dug in. My first reaction: Wow! SALT! I looked at my now empty Margarita glass and silently hoped that my mango Margarita gets here soon. Being a fan of cheese, I never thought that I would say that something had too much cheese, however this dish did. Either this was the cheapest cheese you could find or it was simply the wrong one to use. The entire dish simply lacked flavor, except for the salt. After 20 minutes or so and after I ate all I was going to eat, my waitress arrived with my bill and my margarita. I respectfully declined the drink. When asked how my meal was I explained to her that she was clearly busting her butt to serve some (now 30 or so) people and I could see she was doing her best however the food was bad. She did offer to let me speak to her manager and make things right. I declined. I didn't think I'd make any difference. I paid my bill and left her a fair tip (based on her performance and not the cook's). In closing I'd say this place was under staffed. Some staff was under qualified. read more

I like the quesadillas. The chicken ones are great! Nice service as well, the fried ice cream is delicious

Very nice for our little town. I like the extensive menu and the room was remodeled during COVID.

Good food for here. Traditions is an expensive over rated joke. You're stupid to waste your money there when you have this. To the guy that literally wrote a journal about this place. Sir, you are sad. Go move to a big city please. We don't want you here. read more

Waitress wasn't sure how to make drinks! The pork tacos were chewy and unable to eat! Couldn't get answers about the menu she was pretty clueless read more

Ate here for lunch. The service was good. The chips and salsa was tasty. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. It was fresh and tasted good. It was worth the stop and money. read more

Needless to say, I was somewhat skeptical when I found out there was a mexican restaurant in Woodsfield. Having lived in the Southwest and the West coast I've been blessed to experience some great food. All I can say is...wow, what excellent Mexican food. The service was attentive and friendly. The menu has more than enough variety to satisfy any patron and the portion sizes are generous. Definitely my first pick from this village's eating venues. read more

Picked up lunch today For carry out. 4 tables being served inside. Took 10 minutes longer then we were told. They did not give us the combo price but the a la Carte prices and was cold. Not sure how I could be cold while we were waiting right there? read more

As someone who has lived in Texas for over 35 years and was displaced to Ohio for work, this place was a true hidden treasure. From the salsa selection (including 2 house made options from the back if you ask), to the entrees, and above all the level of friendly service, this place has it all. Large bar area in the back room and a large covered patio in the back, with live music on some nights combine to make this the best Mexican food restaurant within the area. Don't miss out on this one, it is truly Muy Bueno!!! read more

We ate here a couple days ago. It was good, I liked the quesadillas! We enjoyed our meals as always, we will be back

The service was good. The food not so good. I'd rather eat at a taco bell than to ever come back here

After reading the posts on here about how good this place was to eat, I was looking forward to trying it out for myself. Sadly I was let down. Service was below average as was the food. The chicken in my chimichanga tasted dry and didn't have very good flavor. On a plus side the cheese dip was good. read more

Nothing bad to say, good service, good food, good drinks, nice portions, good price. Not only is the Mexican food great, but their burgers and steaks are great too. read more

We are from Texas and have relocated to this area. We have struggled to find a mexican restaurant that was worthy of a return visit. We were reluctant to try another "blah" mexican restaurant. However, we were so pleasantly surprised with Buenos Amigos! The service was great and the food was excellent!! We have now found our new restaurant of choice!!! Cant wait to go back!!! read more

Absolutely terrible food. Went in for lunch with my boyfriend and his mother and we were extremely disappointed when our food finally arrived. His mother and I ordered quesadillas and they were extremely greesy and discolored. My boyfriend ordered carnitas and had to send it back because it was completely unacceptable. We will never go back again. read more

I am a big fan of this place. The food that I have tried is very good. The menu can be a bit overwhelming and the chips are not great but service is nice. They have removed a few of my favorite drinks off the menu as well which was disappointing. read more
