We love this place! It's classic Mexican fare at a great price. The cheese sauce is always good, the food is fast and hot, and the margaritas are always great! The staff is so polite and always wants you to have a great meal! The chips are nearly always topped off in abundance (much to my waistlines demise!) The decor is classic Mexican restaurant, with music that isn't too loud and not too soft! Kids are always welcome and the place is big enough they don't cause a concern for other guests!

Nacho Fajitas with skirt steak

Great free standing place to dine near interstate exit and local hotels. Pretty decor, architecture, tabletops, and chairs. So many things on the menu. Mostly booth seating indoors, but we did request and get seated at a table. Cute patio adjacent to indoor restaurant. A bit of a language challenge, but service was very good and prompt. Our meals were generous and tasty. Requested a Paloma to drink, and waiter did not understand me, but made a point of asking the young bartender who knew exactly what to prepare. The Nacho Fajitas were a unique entree that I would definitely order again. Muy delicioso.

Tamale. Freakin amazing, as usual.

A short walk from everywhere you can park a semi, this little gem offers consistently excellent everything. Great food, drinks, ambiance, staff, it's impossibly to find fault. Place is spotlessly clean, staff does outstanding work maintaining it all. Eat here quick, you will never regret it. It has become my weekend destination, completely winning me over with their incredible presence and offerings.

Chorrizo and cheese dip.  will not be going back (Warning)

Food was not good ordered chorriqueso and margaritas. The margaritas had no tequila (alcohol). And the cheese dip and Mexican sausage was gross (chorriqueso) Will not be going back!!!

Los Amigos - Salsa probably gets dusty from being in the dining area with decor above it. Gross.

Best bar in town. Only bar in town?…read more Either way. Decent margaritas, frosty mugs for draft beer. Pool table (classic style with woven leather pockets). Air hockey table (out of commission as of 9/10/2022). Engraved wood everything - tables, chairs, assorted decor. Somebody shelled out some beaucoup bucks to decorate this place. Definite small-town vibes here. Didn't eat, but the pervasively Spanish-speaking staff makes me think it's worth a shot the next time we're in town. 5 stars, no complaints. Walking distance from the Best Western (which I decidedly would not recommend... but if you end up there, at least Amigos is right across the parking lot).

My husband and traveled from Colorado to Ohio and stayed in Vandalia on the way home…read more Los Amigos was close to the hotel . The service was excellent ! The young male server was so friendly and very fast . ) I wish I could recall his name ) We had our drinks within a minute of ordering them . Our food also arrived after a short time and was delicious . I had the Pollo Ranchero and my husband had Carne Asada . The portions are large and cooked to perfection . We are Mexican food aficionados so it is always a gamble trying a new place . It was worth it !

Los Amigos - Minute advert of a bar, but the door is locked. Don't fret! Just go in through the front, your beer is waiting.
