We were feeling a bit under the weather and had a need for some hot chicken soup since it's nature's antibiotic. We discovered this place on our DoorDash App and had it delivered. It was very fresh and healthy and definitely very worthy of being called, "Caldo de Pollo"! Mexican Taqueria's and Restaurants have a great way of making different types of Mexican inspired soups and they added rice & beans and tortillas on the side. We'll definitely order soup from this place again and very interested in trying some of their other menu items as well. Thank you El Amigo Burrito for helping us feel better! read more

El Amigo Burrito - Caldo de Pollo - Mexican Near Me - Santa Clara, California

First, let me say that they tried to be accommodating with some food allegeries. However, it was impossible for them to bring flavor to carnitas (like adding salt) to unfortunately the most gristly small cubes of meat. The guacamole apparently is premade as a request for no onions could not be met. What came out was a cup that had the consistency and color of pistachio pudding. The restaraunt is very clean with typical decor. Our server was pleasant but if you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this isn't the place. read more

I've been a customer here for years, and have finally decided to leave a review. Went here for a party, and I am once again impressed by el amigo burrito. Ordered the flautas plate, and it took only 15 minutes to come, which is impressive since our party size was 14+ people. The food was good, except for the rice which was a little cold, but I'm sure I could have asked for a warm plate. I wasn't bothered too much by it. The waitresses were accommodating of our large party, and they even took a photo of our table when we asked. The authentic decorations and colorful walls definitely add to the atmosphere! read more

First time here for weekday lunch. Great lunch specials. Staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. Service is fantastic. What I loved was the regulars and devoted customers. Highest praise for their tasty rice and beans!10/10. Complimentary chips and salsa. Preferred their pico de gallo than the dark red salsa. Had the lunch chile relleno and it was perfection! Eggie and not dense- DELICIOUS! read more

They have a lot of parking here in their shared lot, located on Stevens Creek blvd. You get seated and they bring you the menu along with chips and salsa. I ordered the chicken burrito and my partner had the steak a la Mexicana. The burrito was pretty good, I didn't finish it, had to take it home. My partner really enjoyed his steak and said he would definitely return for it and to try the other food on the menu. There were a lot of tables and seating inside the restaurant. It's not too far from home, so we will definitely be back! read more

El Amigo Burrito - El Amigo Burrito Steak - Mexican Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Amigo Burrito is a comfortable establishment. Not beat up but lacking the ambiance of a hipster joint. The server was the only one in front but she managed it very nicely, thank you very much. They served delicious chips paired with a nicely spicy red sauce and salsa. I ordered the el amigo burrito. It was generously sized although I managed to eat almost all of it because I'd skipped breakfast and it was a late lunch. The burrito was a bit odd. The veg was mostly lettuce but this was easily fixed by adding salsa. This made the mix of vegetables that I'm used to and I had no complaints with the mixture of veg. The burrito was generously topped with sour cream and avocado. The only flaw was the presence of dried bits of pork mixed in with nicely done pork. The dried bits were so hardened that they were difficult to chew. I ended up picking out these bits and the rest of the burrito was just fine. I'm guessing the kitchen had overcooked pork leftovers that they needed to get rid of after the lunch rush. I certainly understand they didn't want to waste food but there has got to have a better way to do this. Perhaps they could use it to flavor pork stock. I mentioned this to the server and hopefully they take my feedback to heart. The price was in line with other casual Mexican dining establishments. About 15 bucks for a burrito. read more

Solid and consistent burritos. I'm plain, beans, rice, salsa, no meat or dairy. The flavors are quite nice. Chips are freshly made, and the quantity we got with a to-go order was nice. The hot sauce is off the chain. Nom noms. Just the right kick. Guacamole is super tasty, and the portion size did not disappoint. Ordering on delivery apps will cost you an arm and half a leg. If you're somewhere nearby, just pop in and order it on the spot. The woman who helped me was very kind and bare sure I had all the things I needed in the bag. Next time we will just eat there. I've ordered several times and found them to be consistent. Hmmmmm, maybe I need to shuffle in over there for a burrito! read more

My husband and I checked out El Amigo Burrito for the first time and were pretty satisfied with the experience. We stopped by around 4pm on a Friday. The place wasn't too busy, which worked out in our favor since we were in a bit of a time crunch. We had recently came back from Mexico City, so I appreciated all the traditional decor. Service was OK. There was one waitress, who was holding down the fort at the time. Customer service was understandably slow, but I knew she was trying to be everywhere all at once and be as attentive as she could. We shared an enchilada + chile relleno combo plate. My husband got the beef enchilada, and I asked for the chile relleno on the side. I was blown away by the size of the pepper. I was expecting a small one, but the pepper was the length of a large plate. It had so much flavor, loaded with cheese and smothered in ranchera sauce. Interestingly, the cheese they used was yellow. Not some type of white cheese I'm used to seeing. I don't typically get full off an a la carte chile relleno, but I was stuffed after having El Amigo Burrito's. My husband enjoyed his enchilada plate as well, which came with the rice and refried beans. He said the shredded beef was tender. read more

Great "Hole in the Wall" staple that's been here forever. They've got great Chili Rellenos and their red sauce is one of my favorites. Try to visit whenever I'm back in town on business for a real authentic Mexican meal. read more

Despite my last review, I can confidently say that this place is my go-to spot when I'm craving a giant wet chile verde burrito. I haven't tried much of their other food, but my burrito order never disappoints. I enjoy how they don't skimp out on the filling of the burrito and I love the chile verde sauce that's poured over. The pieces of meat are chunky, tender, and just cooked perfectly. Service has also improved here and the workers are very attentive. read more

After El Burro closed in Campbell, this was always my second choice. Their Chile Verde is pretty good here compared to many places I have been. Sadly, the prices are too high now and the portions have shrunk in the past couple of years. I realize everything has gotten pretty crazy after the Covid situation, but I'll just have to stick with the neighborhood Taqueria. I really like it here but it's become out of my price range. read more

Today, I had a veggie burrito and it was not the same as before. It seems that they have changed it. I don't think paying almost $20 for veggie burrito is reasonable. It is true everything has gone up but still doesn't make sense. Heavily priced. read more

Had a chance to try El Amigo Burrito and I must say this is a really cute shop for some yummy Mexican food. The restaurant is a cute spot to sit in whether it's with family or friends. We did a pick up order, but the interior was very nice. For our order we got: *Chicken burrito - this was stuffed with lots of chicken, bell peppers and onions and was every bit delicious! We enjoyed every bite and the red salsa this came with. *Chicken enchilada - this was also yummy but I was not the biggest fan of the sauce on top as it was very salty. Would skip this next time, unless the sauce gets less salty! Overall service was fast and nice - I enjoyed my experience here. read more

Mateo was the best server!! Very attentive :) steak fajitas were so good esp paired with a fat marg

Where is my two cents of the quality quantity and price of my order?... it was delivered by GrubHub in a timely manner.. I usually don't ever order this item, but I just wanted something that the simple folks ordered... I ordered the enchilada meal with ground beef on flour tortillas . It came with the usual of refried beans and Spanish rice.... I didn't notice that it did taste different from other places I've had at least with the Spanish rice and refried beans. beans . I did request lots of pickled jalapeño peppers .. What I did get was chopped up, jalapeño peppers with none of the hot seeds that I needed I wanted.. the only thing that I did receive hot was their version of hot sauce, which was OK, but not hot enough for me.... It also came with a side salad with a very, very, very small side of Italian dressing very generic, not enough. I found this to be for the typical common folks you who like Americanized Mexican food .. I am unlike everyone else I am a foodie and a very good self-taught Cook.‍..‍ I've been eating and cooking food eating food or more than 45 years... so I know what I'm talking about.. I will say it was very good. Very decent but nothing very much outstanding.... My wife order a chicken taco she enjoyed it except for the extra dollar 50 she paid for avocado not worth the dollar fifty I could've bought a whole avocado for what they gave us. ...If you are like the 95% of American considers Mexican food this is a good place for you.. read more

casual lunch with friends, recommended by other friends. It was just like our former neighborhood mexican restaraunt Goveas. The portions were generous and tasty. you get chips and salsas while you wait for your main courses. I love crispy tacos, it's been hard to find places that serve them these days. I recommend this for lunch and dinner. parking is available as it is in a strip mall. The service is excellent . read more

This place is so spacious and the staff is a friendly and welcoming. I came to have lunch while waiting for my car. And it took me some time to figure out what I wanted to eat. Luckily they give you chips and salsa to start with. I decided to go with their signature burrito supreme wet with a salad and sides. It was so good but I had to wait a because it was hot coming from the oven. It was so good but I couldn't finish it all and saved half for later. I recommend checking this place out. As I was leaving many more people started to come in. read more

My favorite new favorite Mexican restaurant since Maria Elena Restaurant closed down on Alviso. I'm very picky about Mexican food since I grew up on Maria Elena's food and El Amigo Burrito is closest thing to it. I actually been coming here for a while now to get my fix. Today I had the combo plate chicken enchilada , chicken taco which comes with rice, beans and salad. It's just made perfect! Enchilada sauce is so yummy can smother it on everything. Rice is so fluffy and beans are perfect not dried at all. My kids had the chili verde wet burritos asada burrito also wet with red sauce. Again also yummy! Other visit I've had the relleno, chili verde, chili colorado and they all have been delicious. The carnitas is a hit or miss as it can be dried, but I always get enchilada sauce in the side to dip it in. As you can see I pretty much prefer plated dish than taqueria food. I love comfort food. The place has pretty good seating accommodation. It's a family owned place with two servers. Restaurant is not close to me but it worth my drive. read more

El Amigo Burrito - Carne Asada Taco Chile Relleno Side Order - Mexican Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Ordered a take out of 3 of their most popular el amigo burritos. I had a gift certificate here so I wanted to check this place out. Not very crowded, and seemed like most people ordered take away here. They have a wide selection of burritos, tacos, and main plates. Burritos were pretty tasty and filled with lots meat and rice. Burrito size is pretty massive, you could probably get 2 meals out of each. One thing I wish they did is put the avocado/sour cream on the side in a container rather than directly on the burrito bc it made it soggy. Person taking the order was friendly and the take out time was only 15 minutes. Prices are on the higher side but you get a lot quantity wise. If you're in the mood for Mexican food and in the area, this place is a good option. read more

Solid Mexican joint. Located in a small strip mall where the parking lot is a bit tight. However the food is always solid. Went again a few weeks ago and got my go to shrimp burrito. Highly recommend just getting the regular instead of the super, can taste more of the shrimp/that good sauce Other solid options are the enchiladas and chili relleno. Service can be a bit slow, but very friendly staff. Price wise it is on the more expensive side, but always a good choice read more

Hubby told me to go here while and i wasn't sure but it turned out to be a cute and friendly place and food was so yummy! I had to go to American Tires (see that 5 star review too) and this only a block away. It was only 10:30am so I beat any crowds. Clean. Friendly. Great customer service. SO DELICIOUS. Comfort food at its best! LOVE IT! Definitely will go back! Cute placemats with Spanish words on them. Meal: It just tasted so fresh. The rice and beans made a PERFECT bite. YUM! I LOVE pork tamales and this one was AMAZING! Covered in sauce and the masa was just right. I ate super slowly (I was waiting for my car) and really savored it. Only negative: The chips were FREE, but grocery store chips, not fresh. Since I love fresh chips, that's the only reason I gave one less star. Both salsas were tasty. Otherwise, it would be 5 star, so GO EAT HERE! I got the Pork Tamale Lunch Plate special. For $18.50 plus tip, I felt it was a good deal for me and, with some chips, it was just the right size. I walked out feeling just right. Prices jump up a good deal if you venture off the lunch meal, so note that if you come for dinner or have a bigger appetite. I'm still dreaming of how yummy the meal was! read more

El Amigo Burrito - Enchilada taco combo - Mexican Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Well, i used to go here all the time for lunch. I came during dinner got a beer and then nothing else. Meanwhile Spanish speakers got their orders taken promptly and served promptly. Very disappointed. I've given them a lot of business over the years. I was patient, but 25 minutes to finish a beer was a bit much. I left. Their food isn't worth that crappy service. Maybe it's just the night crew, but the discrimination was blatant. Such a shame, because they're convenient. read more

Vegetarian reviewer: Tried their vegetarian burrito yesterday - no sauce coz someone told in reviews that sauce is not vegetarian. Really, you got to tell that sauce is not vegetarian in your menu everywhere. Come on what age are you in. But anyway, I was fine the burrito was filled with stuff - that was really good. It tasted really good, I'd ordered without guac/sour cream and it was still good. However, I have complain I am unhappy about is the tortilla was almost uncooked- it looked completely white. I guess you gotta tell them to make it crispy, coz I had to put the burrito on the pan for a good 10 min to make it nicer. I honestly feel bad to reduce two stars - I hope they reply to me/ take some action. Would love to put more stars here soon. Will update my review after trying more stuff visiting this restaurant! read more

BOYCOTT THIS RESTAURANT. The "owner" is not an owner but a child. They have went from giving reasonable responses to reviews to being absolutely unprofessional and hateful. There food prices have gone up TOO MUCH and they think they can use the current political climate as an excuse. No actually you don't know how the economy works so don't use it to justify your outrageous prices. The food quality is TERRIBLE now. (Been going since I was a kid and had to make this account just to leave this review) The Horchata is now POWDER, never was and it taste so cheap. So why do you need more money? I think the community has made this restaurant survive and thrive as it has. Now they are using that reputation for evil and greed. Your business WILL go out of business because of how you've decided to run it. Not surprised since you're rude incompetent and arrogant. What has been given can and will be taken. Heres some examples of how the "owner" has changed (keep in mind the dates and how the responses change, this is what entitlement, greed and arrogance looks like): El Amigo Burrito (Owner) 3 months ago Obviously you did the torturing of the burrito as that isn't how we serve it Loser El Amigo Burrito (Owner) 3 months ago So What Your review on the weather or Food? Ridiculous. El Amigo Burrito (Owner) 3 years ago George I don't think you know but all products have gone up unless you want us to go out of business we have to raise prices.

We have DoorDashed twice, and 3 out of 5 is the best I can do for this restaurant. I might have been kinder if they didn't charge as much as the better Mexican restaurants do. Their chicken mole was properly chocolatey in the Oaxacan style, but lacked the combination of spices that would make it delicious. Likewise, their chili verde, though the meat was tender and cooked properly, was way too bland. And (yes, there is a theme here) the ground beef tacos also lacked spice. And they charge for a bag of chips (and a little too much to boot), and (once again) their salsa, though spicy hot, lacks spice taste. read more

The service was good, but authentic it was not. I paid $28 for a super burrito which I think was way to expensive, and not that good.
