We were seated right away, and the service was great--the waitresses were friendly and attentive. The décor featured authentic Mexican touches, which really added to the experience. The food did not disappoint. I ordered a variety of tacos: steak (carne asada), chicken (pollo), and al pastor. I enjoyed all of them. The al pastor was a bit spicy, so if you like heat, that's the taco for you! My favorite, though, was the steak taco--so soft and delicious. Honestly, it was the best steak taco I've had in Indiana and Chicago. If you're looking for a new Mexican restaurant to try, this one is a must!

The service has always been poor, going back to the days when they were in the Highland Ultra. Every location, old and new Lansing and Dyer the same way. Always been slow, never friendly. I went there from time to time because it tasted like the food I grew up with. I have reduced my visits over the years to about once a year. I went this time because it was on the way to my destination. I pre-ordered with a lot of time before my arrival. So the food was ready. The same sour lady mentioned in other reviews gave me my order and took the payment. I have walked out previously when this lady was at the counter because she seemed really put out that I came in and was ordering food. My destination was 5 minutes away so that is when I started eating. Discovering the tasteless, small steak burrito was disappointing. It was the amount of grease dripping out of it that made the burrito really bad. The chicken torta had the same issues. So, I'm done. Too many other decent options in the area now to put up with the bad.

I am wondering if El Amigo, in Schererville, is under new management…read more Today, I was there having dinner. They were busy so there wasn't much of being checked in on, which is fine, I understand. When it came up to go pay. We proceeded to go pay and noticed that I was being charged a "fee" for using a debit card. Up to my current knowledge a debit card is not to be charged a "fee" like a credit card (could regulations/laws have changed and I was unaware absolutely). So then I proceeded to ask the lady why a "fee" was being charged on a debit card. She then proceeded to state that their system has always been doing it and that she has been there for the last 10 years. I have been going to this restaurant for about the last 10ish years and not once seen this person before. This person proceeded to become rude and blatantly nasty. I called her out on it and said "damn, you're rude" She proceeded to say "I don't care" and continued to repeat "I don't care" throughout the whole interaction, rather than try to come to a calm solution/explanation. For someone who works in a restaurant or a business I think that's highly unprofessional to be completely honest. I then proceeded to ask if there was someone above her who I could speak to about this for which she stated " God is above me". I responded to her saying absolutely "God is above all of us". She continued to be nasty and rude throughout the whole interaction. Another employee tried to come in, intervene, and help with the situation but she just gave the worker an attitude and told him to stay out of it. We ended up just paying it and whatever. As we walked out, she proceeded to tell us "Just f**cking leave". To add to this, during the interaction she proceeded to inform us this was her second time of the day arguing with someone. We absolutely left after we had paid. It's very unfortunate that a restaurant that I have loved going to for the last decade of my life I will no longer be going to. This all occurred because of one rude/nasty interaction with whom I believe to be a newer employee. I truly wonder what happened to the ownership here because the owner's son was always so polite, kind, approachable, and always went out of his way to interact with this customers.
