Stopped here on the way to Indianapolis based on the Yelp reviews. In a strip mall that is…read morecertainly nothing to look at, the food was delicious and worth going out of your way for. Service was good and inside looks like a standard Mexican restaurant. The Margarita was excellent. Perfect taste, not too sweet, not too sour. The food was excellent. Cheese dip and salsa were perfect start and whatever you end up with, Burrito, Enchiladas, tacos, all good.

Yuck. The steak tacos were terrible-no flavor at all. The chicken quesadilla was supposed to be…read morejust chicken and cheese, but it came with peppers and onions. We sent it back, and a minute later they returned the same quesadilla with the peppers picked off only the top half. On top of that, most of the food was cold. Honestly, it probably would've been warmer sitting in a cabinet. The server also wasn't very helpful. We asked several times for more chips and salsa and didn't get any until we asked a different server. You'd honestly be better off going to a fast-food restaurant. We spent way too much money for a really shitty meal.

Murals painted on 2 of the walls. Great vibe & energy. Friendly service & very attentive. We had chips, salsa & guacamole. The guac was $10. Huge serving. So smooth & mild. It came with pico de gallo. I loved all of the salsas too. My grilled shrimp tacos were amazing. The slaw & chopped mango was fresh & flavorful. The green sauce it came with was so delicious. Had a hint of lime. My husband got the last order of pork tamales for the night. He loved them. Beans & rice were great also. Can't wait to try more off the menu. But I'm already craving those shrimp tacos again.

Restaurant only had one large party and another couple. No wait time. Waitress couldn't hear our order due to loud music. We asked for a Miller Light received a Modelo. Also, asked for double rice no beans and received fries. Asked water with lemon no lemon. That's how loud music was. Drinks: Draft Modelo (fine) Classic Margarita for $11 it was a very small glass and was the worse I ever tasted. Definitely premix margarita. They don't serve traditional tortilla chips with salsa. Serve hard shell tortillas called tostadas with a very little cup of ceviche, green chili sauce and bowl of red salsa. (different but nothing special or outstanding) Appetizer: Calamari nothing outstanding Main Dish: Torta w/ fries (had better) tho price is reasonable Carne Asada asked for double rice received fries. Finally got rice and it was dry like it was from bottom of pot. Asked for skirt steak to be medium it was well. Skirt steak was thick and not tenderized like other restaurants carne asadas. Plate had lettuce and diced tomatoes. Corn tortillas were dry. Steak was good in all even though it is not the way I am use to. Some items on menu are pricey. Plates of food look nothing like pictures online unfortunately. I don't recommend as there are plenty over abundantly other better Mexican Restaurants around the area.

I usually opt for the same thing every time, the queen which is skirt steak And rice and beans with a cheese enchilada and shredded lettuce and tomato it never disappoints. It's always spot on delicious it comes with your choice of corner flour tortillas. I always get corn. It's just a perfect meal. They have other things of course and my family gets those such as tacos or Maria that sort of thing Overall for the price point. You get a lot for your money. It's delicious food and it won't break the bank perfect for family is or a date or anything. It's just a really good place.

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.
