Mexican food is my FAVORITE!!! Listen, in my opinion our area just doesn't have any truly top notch Mexican food. Believe me, I have checked. As long as you know that this is an established fact for the greater Kalamazoo area, you can go into a place like Los Amigos and still have a very decent experience!! ;) Just don't set the bar too high, ya know what I'm sayin?? There are multiple Los Amigos locations nearby. We have tried each one, multiple times actually, but for some reason the Stadium drive is our favorite! The service is great, quick, and friendly. We prefer the atmosphere, though I'm not sure exactly what would be different from the others. We just like it here best!! :) Of course every good Mexican joint starts with a healthy dose of chips and salsa! Los Amigos is very prompt in their delivery of usually warm chips and fresh tasting salsa. My favorite part of this is that they automatically provide everyone with their own little bowl for their own salsa! Good job, Los!! :) My husband and I have found our groove. Occasionally we veer from tradition and get different things, but for the most part we love to order the fajitas - the fajitas el amigos, which comes with steak, chicken, and shrimp. We order the SINGLE order... it's SO much food!!! This EASILY serves 2 people, usually with some leftovers!! This meal comes with one plate of sides... rice, beans, and the "mexican salad" which basically consists of iceberg lettuce, some pico, a small dollop of sour cream and guac. If you like any of those things a lot, get an extra side. I usually ask for an extra side of sour cream. Yum! We also ask for extra tortillas, which they gladly include without extra charge!! :) Now for the best part... QUESO! Maybe this tells you a lot about my very americanized view points when it comes to Mexican foods... ;) But I just think queso is a must!! Most of the time we just order a side of queso to accompany our fajitas, but on this specific trip in we got the queso fundido with chorizo! WOW! We used to order this ALL of the time at the old Mi Ranchito Tres out in Otsego, but alas, very tragically, they haven't been around in YEARS... they were such a fav! Los Amigo's take on this dish isn't what I remember from my earlier years, but it's still pretty darn delicious and it was a very nice addition to the fajitas!! You can put it in a tortilla alone, but I like it on a chip or slathered across my fajita meats in my tortilla with toppings - YUM! And if you like spice, don't sleep on the RED El Yucateco hot sauce on the table. That stuff is fire! ;) Both in great flavor and great kick! Start small if you aren't a fan of pretty decent spice level. I love several drops across the top of each fajita! YUM! Basically - this dinner is my love language! If you want a yummy, granted probably very americanized Mexican dinner, check out Los Amigos on Stadium!! read more

I ordered nachos to go and when I got home to dig in, the chips were so soggy to the point I would have to eat with a fork. They didn't even taste good! I called to let them know about the order. I asked for a manager and was told there was no manager even tho someone was there 20 minutes prior. Then I was hung up on. I called back and asked to talk to someone about my to go order and the person who answered just put the phone down. I thought maybe she was going to go get someone, but 5 minutes later still no one so I hung up and tried to call back. When I called back my call wouldn't go thru. I have always loved this place, their food, and margs, but even the margs taste as tho cheap tequila is being used. It does not taste like Cuervo. I will never eat here again. They have really gone down hill. read more

Went for a weekday lunch birthday. The waitress pretty much messed up everyone's order or some didn't even get an order. The, assuming, manager came out to help clarify what was wrong or missing. It was ok, nothing to write home about. read more

Usually, I'm a big fan of this location after living here for the last three years but lately something is different. I've tried to order three times on GrubHub and my order has been dropped the last three times. In addition tonight when that order dropped, I ordered takeout and picked it up. My chips were stale. I feel like if I'm paying for chips and cheese I should have fresh chips. Disappointed with the overall service in the back of the restaurant the last time I dined in as well. Dishes are often stacked at the back bar along with empty cocktail glasses all over ...Something has definitely changed, but I can't quite pinpoint why.... read more

We came in a hurry on a Tuesday afternoon and our server was attentive and patient and the food came out fast and delicious!! It's a very colorful and welcoming atmosphere inside and wish we could've stayed longer! Lots of menu options, I would highly recommend this spot to anyone. read more

Nice food, nice atmosphere.. Great prices to Quality. We came here and it was a fun experience We ordered fish tacos and shrimp with beans and rice. The beans were done nicely and it melted in the mouth. Shrimp was very good but it was a litt small portion. The fish tacos are very good and delicious, i would order them again. I didn't like the flan because it was hard and has strong flavor instead of jiggly and soft, but my husband liked it. I only suggest paying more attention to the level of cleanness . I would come here again to enjoy more tacos and the cool atmosphere. read more

It's your average Mexican American restaurant with all of the usual menu items like burritos and tacos. They do offer free chips and salsa that are really good and plentiful. The staff is always friendly but also always rushed. I had an enchilada, taco and tamal that was hot and fresh but lacked even the slightest flare and was kinda boring. It was reasonably priced and I went away with a full tummy. Will I come back soon...probably, because it's a casual place to hang out with friends and grab a decent meal. read more

I had the fajitas quesadilla. The chicken was dry and overcooked. The rice was gummy and no taste Hubby ordered the steak fajitas. The server brought Steak quesadilla. My husband clearly ordered the beef fajitas as he ALWAYS does. The server tried to argue that he'd ordered the wrong thing until I made it VERY clear the SERVER had ordered the wrong thing my husband didn't. There were NO onions in it and also very few tomatoes. My husband said the beef tasted good but was not what he normally gets in the fajitas. Again, he ALWAYS gets this. The chips were old but the salsa was thick and good. The queso was cold and not warmed. I think we'll stick to Los Ranchos in South Haven from now on. The food is much better. Sadly after years and years of going to Los Amigos and having it be our favorite we won't be going back. read more

Mexican food as you expect it! Delicious and affordable. They serve freshly made tortilla chips and homemade salsa. We opted for chicken quesadillas and we were impressed with speed of the service. It felt like we had just ordered when our meals were presented ! Our quesadillas were crispy on the out side and filled with nicely seasoned chicken, tender crisp peppers and onions , and gooey melted cheese. Along side this was Spanish rice and a salad of lettuce tomato and sour cream. We opted to add a margarita-they offer many flavors but had the traditional lime on the rocks. The lime margarita was good but It'll be mango the next time. So many choices! read more

Delicious!! Highly recommend! The guac was my absolute favorite!! I'd highly recommend this restaurant!

Update: My visit this month was amazing. Yes, I did try the fajitas again... and they were perfect! Lots of meat, cooked perfectly, and our waiter was fantastic!! Past review:Chips and salsa were great as usual -I've ordered the fajitas Amigos (chicken, beef, and shrimp) the past 2 times we've gone. Last time I noticed there wasn't much meat. This time it was very, very little meat. The serving size was good, but for $15, the dish warrants a great deal more meat instead of tiny little leftover scraps. I estimate the fish was probably 95% vegetable and 5% meat. The waiter we started with was nice but not terribly attentive -so much that we never saw him again. read more

This Mexican restaurant in Kalamazoo in my opinion caters towards a younger audience and gets rowdy/loud at night. The servers were not very attentive and we were waiting for drinks/ a check for awhile. Out of all the Mexican restaurants I have been too, I would say this one is on the lower end in terms of quality of food. The salsa that they hand out with the chips is still very good! My taquitos mexicanos were good, but I thought the meat was a little on the dry side. If you are looking for a loud Mexican restaurant this one might be a better fit for you then it was for me and my family trying to have a meal. Everyone I was with was not very satisfied with their food. I thought it was a mediocre experience. read more

was seated and waited 15 min for someone to take our drink order, then waited another 20 min until another waiter asked if we order drinks yet said we did and told him what we ordered and he did get them within minutes. Then 10 min later our female waitress came back with drinks. She dropped them off and did not say anything. Another 15 minutes went by the male waiter came backed and asked if we ordered yet so we ordered, then 20 minutes later the female waitress came back and asked if we wanted to order said we did with another waiter she said she would check because she saw our order in the window for awhile, we said it had been 1.5 hours and we need to go. Asked for the food to go and she brought the bill with 2 drinks and our food and we took our ticket up to the counter. Our male waiter came over and said your bill is wrong and said you had 4 drinks and we said we drank our 2 but you brought us 4 not our fault and he said no you had 4 drinks. I said I was not going to argue and I will pay for the 4 but I WILL NEVER GO BAKC THERE absolutely terrible service and force you to pay for their mistakes. read more

I love Mexican food ! But I was a bit underwhelmed. Let me explain, I love Mexican food for the spice and the earthy goodness. The food here is well made, and comes in good quantities. Just was not what I expected. It tasted like it had been filtered through an angry vegan. (What do I mean by that ?) it was plain, no character, no caramelized crust, and no spicy zing to make me want to come back. It was like they had hired a Swedish cook to make tamales. read more

Tried to place an online order and was experiencing technical difficulties. Then called the restaurant to see if it was on our end and if maybe it would be better to just place over the phone.

We have been going to Los Amigos since it has opened on stadium drive. Food has always been consistently good however the service depends on who you get. Sometimes it's excellent and you get everything you order and other times there is a language gap and it takes a few tries. Take out is another story. If you order over the phone I can almost guarantee you won't have what you actually ordered. We have learned to place our to go orders at the bar and just wait. The service is very quick so the wait is not long. The Margarita's are delicious!!! read more

I'm a big fan of this place, but tonight we had a very bad interaction with a server and I though I should share this with the community for the sake of the restaurant. Our server was depleting their bad day on the costumers. They raised their voice while we were ordering because we were having trouble finding a certain item on the menu. They pointed it out aggressively as their voice tone was getting louder. They decided to then leave our table to another's as we were giving him our order!!! They left us hanging for 15mins before they came back to take our order. We were not being helped at all and they completely ruined our dining experience. Its very unfortunate that I have to rate this place a 4 star, and I wish our next time is better. Overall 4 Food 4.5 Atmosphere 5 Service 3 read more

Any of the three los amigos in town make me a happy man ! Enchilada, burrito, taco, chips whatever it may be this place kills it.

There was a stick in my ground beef. The waiter tried to say it was seasoning but it was clearly a twig from a tree branch. Scary. Run.

This place is good during evening shift , not great but good but during the day the energy and attitude of the staff is one of contempt and disdain , they try to be nice but it's not really coming through not mention they dry out 3 minute stakes with not so fresh everything else . Don't know if it's because I'm dark skin black man orrr just because I'm black or it's just who they are but it never feels like I'm truly welcome . read more

Great food and great service. When busy the quality definitely goes down but great prices and fun place to drink and eat

Horrible food, experience and the worst matgerata I ever had! The host assumed, and KEPT my change from the check. Which was extremely RUDE Also ment that my tip was 50% of my bill. Not sure what gave him the right to feel intiled to do so. But that was was bad move on their part. read more

The service is so friendly and efficient here that I'm sorry to not recommend it. The food is just disappointing. Enchilada suizes usually have a sour cream and green salsa sauce instead of salsa and a glob of sour cream with unmelted cheese. The tortillas were cold and folded over the chicken pieces, not really enchiladas. Good rice and beans although not hot enough to melt the cheese. First flour tortillas for the fajitas were stuck together and the second batch were cold out of the package - gross. Fajitas were okay but just two shrimp. Good margaritas. read more

Los Amigos and I had a rocky start. We waited for a little over 10 minutes before anyone even came to the front to seat us, and once we were seated it was another 15 for someone to come to our table and take our drink order. Service was quick once we got our orders in. Food was okay, nothing super special. I'd maybe try somewhere else before heading back there, but options are kind of limited in this area. read more

So,as you know I love this place. Wifey doesn't eat Mexican food so she has no idea what I paid (thank goodness). I ordered takeout seafood quesadilla and a steak nacho grande. Wow another awesome meal. I shared the nachos with the old lady next door and DAMN. She devoured them. She called me at 8 am this morning wanting more.So I guess we'll be having more tonight. My only problem is they have no burgers or chicken strips ,so wifey eats Mccrapalds. Whoop whoop. Keep it up. read more

This is a great place to have a quick and (fairly) authentic Mexican meal. I do enjoy their salsa quite a bit, but my absolute favorite thing is their chicken chimichanga. Pros: - Good atmosphere 7/10 - Short wait times 9/10 - Friendly staff 8/10 -Tasty food 7/10 -Cheap prices 10/10 Cons: - Very large menu (this might not be a con to everyone) but I find a smaller menu us more enjoyable to order from - Food presentation is lacking. It taste great, but don't be surprised when your meal comes out looking less than perfect. read more

I'm a fan of the Stadium Drive Los Amigos and have been here a number of times. This is a place that I like to bring family when they are in town visiting, too, because it reminds me of some restaurants from home. Not the most authentic Mexican food around, but a good Americanized version. This place is clean, affordable, fast, and tasty. The service can be hit or miss, but has been mostly positive for me. They bring chips and salsa to your table very quickly. As a creature of habit, I tend to get the same thing when I come here: 3 cheese enchiladas and a side of refried beans. Good every time. Also, since I'm not a big fan of salsa, I typically get an order of cheese dipping sauce to eat with the chips... so gooooooood. I've also gotten drinks a few times. The strawberry margarita packed a punch - a yummy punch, haha. And every now and then, I like to indulge in a flan for dessert. Mmmmm... read more

If you're ever in the mood for authentic and super yummy Mexican food. Then this is the place I'd recommend. The staff members are so nice and patient with you, and even joke around. The menu is packed with different entrées and drinks. You'll need a bit of time before deciding this. If you're indecisive, definitely go for the combination dinners. You'll be able to try a few different classics all in one plate. From burritos to tacos, enchiladas, tamales, and so on. Ordering can be a lot of pressure if it's you're first time having Mexican dishes. So take your time or be adventurous and try something new. While you're doing that, you're given complementary chips and salsa to keep your hunger at bay. But the plates are so plentiful, that you'll end up leaving with a to go box. Or at least we did, just couldn't stop eating those chips, and swaying to the music. read more

Now I'm going to be a little bias. I grew up in a traditional Hispanic home where we cooked our own food from scratch every day. But this place isn't too bad. It defiantly has a lot of American accents. I got the burrito grande with a side of beans and rice. Beans were creamy and thick just the way I like them. The rice was a bit bland for my taste. And that burrito whew, HUGE. I was a little disappointed with the red sauce they put on top of the burrito. It didn't have much of a kick to it. The pre chips and salsa they complementary offer where fresh, hot and crispy, made just for us. All in all I would go back just to try something a little different maybe, who knows. read more

Tasty, friendly, and super-fast, Los Amigos is a great place for Tex-Mex in Kalamazoo. Lunch yesterday was my fourth visit to Los Amigos. The first thing you notice when you get situated in the dining room is the furniture: every table, booth, and chair is custom printed with the Los Amigos logo. It's a bit curious, but it's helpful if you're likely to snap a picture of your dinner companion and forget where the photo was taken. My dining companion A. and I were seated immediately, and we were quickly given a big basket of hot tortilla chips and two small bowls for the mini-carafe of salsa. Feeling hungry, I ordered a dinner entree of "fajitas de puerco" ($11.99, remember: this is Tex-Mex, not authentic Mexican, so pork fajitas isn't a contradiction in terms), and A. ordered a "Speedy Gonzales" (a taco and enchilada combination platter). Our very helpful server hadn't heard anyone order the fajitas de puerco before, so I was concerned. She assured me that everything on the menu was good, and that there were no wrong choices. I remained skeptical for the time being. Our food was at our table with startling speed -- certainly within five minutes, maybe under four. I'll have to time them next time, because it really was remarkable. My sizzling fajitas pan was piled high with a very generous pile of carnitas-style pork, mixed with grilled onion, pepper, and tomato, and came with an accompanying plate of beans, rice, and other fixings. A. shared a wish that the Speedy Gonzales platter came with beans in addition to rice. My skepticism about my order subsided when I tucked into my my meal. The pork was hot, juicy, fall-apart tender, and flavorful. There was so much food that I dumped a quarter of it on my friend's plate, and when finished eating I still had enough to take home for a full dinner (which means something because I'm a big fat guy, so I'm super good at eating). I had no complaints about my food whatsoever. A. remarked that the taco was good and the enchilada was merely average. All in all, we had a tasty meal with impressive service at a good value. read more

Ok the only reason for 4 stars is because chips were from the night before & didn't taste as good as they normally do. I had the shrimp quesadilla and it was excellent! There were more shrimp in it than I expected so I was pleasantly surprised. I normally stick with chicken but was feeling a little feisty so I tried shrimp and I wasn't disappointed. My husband had the beef fajita and it was a HUGE helping of meat and a good supply of peppers & onions. A couple of visits ago he had alot of peppers & onions and not as much meat. He asked for more fajitas & they didn't charge him. Our server was great! We had been a little disappointed in it previously as food & service had declined, however, THEY ARE BACK!!! Yayyyyyyy read more

From reading the other reviews, Los Amigos seems like it can be hit or miss. I found it to be good Americana Mexican. I was brought here by friends who said it was their go-to for Mexican in Kalamazoo. The tortilla chips and salsa they brought to the table were standard. The salsa was okay, there was not much or a kick to it though. We shared a cheese and chorizo sausage dip appetizer. While oily from the sausage, it was really good. We all ordered combination plates and had a variety of tacos, enchiladas and tostadas. The rice that came with was better than standard, though the beans were the average accompanied side to the main items type. The portion was huge. Ever thing we had had flavor, nothing was dried out. We had great service. There was a mix up with the order and the waiter had it corrected quickly. read more

Love this spot you feel like your literally in Mexico although the chips and salsa are complementary the always come out stale or hours old. I will say the best thing I love to order are the Mexican style tacos . The best tacos I've ever had . They always come out so fast and fresh. They have amazing customer service also love it . read more

We were super hungry, and we found a place right away on a sunday night. The atmosphere is remarkable and pure mexican. I loved it. The vegeterian nachos item is a must! It is super delicious; the vegetables were fried and the cheese amount was significant. I would definitely recommend it! We then order #6 from the dinner menu and it was not that good, i did not like the chicken tacos nor the meat. Other than that, it is definitely recommended:) read more
