Barria tacos and a tamale
R. M.

Great Mexican food, everything was fast and fresh, the refried beans had a slight Smokey chipotle flavor, my wife's Tamale was delicious and both of us we extremely satisfied with the flavor of our meals... 5 stars!

Create your own combo. Shredded beef taco and burrito with chili relleno.

This decent Mexican restaurant is just a short walk across the road from the Loves truck stop, and I have came over here a half dozen times over the last few years. I always seem to get the same thing. The create your own combo that I order as taco, burrito, and chili relleno. It's always above average, but tonight was even better. Cook must be on his game tonight. The chips are pretty good, but the salsa isn't so great. Beans and rice ate better than most places. Iced tea is very good. Service is always very good, and the place is always clean. Would definitely recommend this place.

First we had to walk past dirty tables to find a clean one. This is inexcusable in an empty restaurant. If they cannot be bothering to clean the tables, what do you think the kitchen looks like? Not 100% horrible as nothing seemed rotten but the best thing I can say is that I didn't get food poisoning. I have had way way better. At Taco Bell I've had WAY better. Hubs said his margarita was not very good as well which is always a bad sign. Fast service but totally flavorless food. Taco Bell across the street could give their "chef" lessons on using spices other than grease puddle my "Steak Mexicano" was swimming in. The waitress said it was marinated but if it was then it needs lots more time since it was neither flavorful NOR tender. It was tiny cubes of some tough, chewy, tasteless commercial grade of beef? fried in a large amount of grease with diced green bell peppers and onions coupled with chunks of way underripe tomato that was barely pink and tasted like cardboard. It was a colossal pain in the ass just to get a bite of food on the fork since it was so finely diced. I even had to add salt which I never do--especially considering how much I complain about over-salted food. The refried beans were soupy and flavorless without any discernible seasoning. The rice was the best thing on the plate and it was WAY below the standards being set by the Taco Bell across the street. Taco Bell is head and shoulders over this place as far as flavor and quality go, even as mediocre as Taco Bell food usually is. I was shocked that they have a sister restaurant in Vandalia since this one was SO Godawful MEDIOCRE. I wouldn't bother to come back. It was a bland and entirely forgettable meal. Want GOOD Mexican? Go somewhere else. ANYWHERE ELSE!! These people have no concept of seasoning or food prep of Mexican food. Old El Paso from a can is head and shoulders over the slop here. Even the "salsa" was awful--it tasted like cheap tomato sauce and a bit of cilantro. Spicy Ketchup is fine cuisine compared to this "salsa". One of the most memorably TERRIBLE meals I've had in years. I can't believe this is their second store, even in very rural Illinois people can't possibly think this is Mexican cuisine.

You wouldn't expect great Mexican food from a small town but this is better than every St.Louis Mexican restaurant.

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

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 !

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).

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.

When I review restaurants, I am often asked about the food, the service, and the ambience. First,…read moreI'll start with the last - ambience. This restaurant is well decorated and taken care of. When you arrive at the large expeditious parking area and you come inside, immediately you feel like you are in an authentic Mexican environment, complete with natural native music - at the proper volume level. Next, service, since I speak Spanish, I enjoy speaking with the staff, however, they treat everyone in a cordial manner. My wait for food to arrive on the table was normal, and I did not see anyone complaining. Finally, the delicious filling food is excellent, and again, I hate to use the word redundantly but, it is very authentic and properly spiced. I have had the taco salad in both chicken and beef, which unlike many others, has more than enough sour cream and guacamole to enhance the dish. Today I opted for an appetizer, the shrimp cocktail. This dish is rather deceiving. You only see four shrimp on top, garnished by lime slices. However, in the sweet relish sauce, you will find more tender fresh plump shrimp. A wonderful beautiful cool dish for a hot day. I would encourage everyone to come by and not only enjoy the restaurant, but the magnificent view of the largest man-made lake in Illinois - Carlyle Lake. Next time, I am going to have the combination shrimp, steak, and chicken tropical pina fajita served on a pineapple half, or maybe, perhaps the Pollo Fiesta. We shall see. Until then "Tener un apetito agradable!"
