Hate to leave my once go-to spot for Mexican food a bad review but after today? They earned it. We were very disappointed how how we were treated by thecashier, who either is the owner or the manager or both. We noticed added fees on our bill so we very politely asked her to explain them. Before she even looked at the bill? She started to break down the fees, leaving me thinking that many others must have been asking about them too! Anyway......she now charges $1.29 for two small slices of lemon for iced tea if you dare ask for more than the tiny 1 slice that now comes with the $3.49 glass of tea! Note* They used to give you a few small slices on a tall glass of tea. Now? They intentionally offer only one, forcing most tea drinkers to have to ask for more, then they charge you extra for what used to be part of a basic ice tea order and they do it without even telling you. Also? They only give you two very tiny tortillas for a huge/adult dinner portion steak fajita meal where you would need at least 4-6 of their tiny tortillas just to eat this particular meal (AS IT IS INTENDED to be eaten!). Need another tortilla or two? No problem if you ask but they are now $1.49 extra, EACH. Nobody tells you about that up charge either until the bill comes so we spoke to the manager when checking out to ask her about it. As longtime & loyal customers, she knows us pretty well. We were polite and expected nothing less than the same in return, along with a reasonable explanation. Nope! As soon as I said "I just have a question about some charges on here that I am unfamiliar with, since I always get the exact same things." She started off with "yes, more tortillas are usually needed for a meal that big and that's why we sell you extras!". So then we asked her: "why do you offer a meal that requires a few more tortillas due to the very tiny size that you use and shortchange the meal but only giving two? Why not provide enough as part of the actual meal, just like other restaurants do?" That question went right over her head and she went straight to a "rising costs" excuse. As for the lemon pieces? She said how expensive they are too so if you want more than just a tiny piece! "We will bring them to you but it's $1.29 extra". For two small pieces, I asked? I told her that NOBODY in this area ever charges paying customers for extra lemons, not even El Jimador, the competing Mexican Restaurant in town. She didn't like hearing that so she just waved her hand in a goodbye gesture and said "thank you and have a nice day". Wow, how surprisingly rude and very dismissive she suddenly became! We paid the extra $4.29 plus tax because that wasn't the issue for us. The principle behind WHY she added those those fees and nobody disclosed them until I spotted them on the bill and asked? That WAS the issue for us. Her bait and switch game is not hurting our feelings one bit but it will cost her business at least $150 a month in further income because that's the least that we spent there each month and after her attitude today? We won't be back. THERE ARE OTHER MEXICAN RESTAURANTS that we can enjoy without feeling like we're now being ripped off. I wonder how many other overcharged customers will dine elsewhere now too? She'd be wise to remind herself of that. So we're now sticking with El Jimador, where their service is always good, their food is always fresh and they aren't trying to rip customers off with that kind of nickel & diming of their customers. I don't care to hear her whining about rising costs as if she is the only one paying any. We ALL are! I do care about having b/s fees quietly added to our bill by greedy and cheap owners who clearly disrespect their loyal customers. Customers who always tip their servers as well as we do. 30-40% every time. Now? I'm just hoping that our favorite server will quit this place and start working at El Jimador so we can keep supporting him. We are going to miss their salsa and our favorite server, but that's how it goes! We're done with supporting this place. read more

Terrible food and terrible drinks. salsa taste just like tomate sauce with a dash of chili pepper seasoning. Do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Quick stop for lunch. Very good. Salsa had a little something going on. Taco and tamale delivered. Quick friendly service.

Many Mexican restaurants have essentially the same menu. I was pleasantly surprised to see a menu that looked to be original to this establishment. While it had many traditional favorites, there were a number of dishes I hadn't seen before, including The Carpenter. Very tasty, slightly spiced but not fiery. read more

This place was really good 20 years ago.... Food and service have gone down while the prices have gone up....don't waste your time and money.... Sorry Hector. read more

Great food but lacking in service quality. The waiters need to act as though they want to be there and not at home doing something else. I get it we can all would like to skip work. But I am a good pretender. read more

We came in at 8:20 (they close at 9 on Mondays) and even though we were close to closing time they didn't make us feel rushed but did let us know when the kitchen started shutting down. We had steak fajitas, chicken soup and Chile Colorado and everything was delicious! We also ordered cheese dip which was good but a little watery. The chicken soup we would recommend adding cilantro (my daughter speaking here) and a lime or two. She says otherwise it was bland. Altogether it was a good experience and we would eat here again ! read more

When I work in Maryville this is my go to place for lunch. Prices are reasonable and in line with other Mexican restaurants. The food comes out steaming hot every time. They bake the dishes with the cheese on it so it has a little caramelization to it. It's superb. It tends to be busy on Monday and. Friday but through the week it isnt as much. To me this is a five star experience for lunch. I cannot comment on the drinks or dinner but I would say they are excellent as well. read more

Los Amigos - Lunch enchiladas with rice. - Mexican Near Me - Maryville, Tennessee

Awesome!!! Super friendly, delish food. Good drinks. I've been there 3 times. Yesterday, I tried their chicken soup. Yum to the OOO!! Lovely, light chicken broth, peppers, onions, and a huge hunk of chicken. I ate all the brought, brought home the chicken to make my own soup!! The chicken was so tender!! Hubs had beef enchilada and a tamale. Honestly, this is the closest thing you will get to Tex Mex. We live in Crossville, and there is a Casa Grande that has delicious chicken soup. His food was awesome!! Owner waited on us, and he was fantastic!! Can't wait to go back!! read more

We were looking for a place for dinner on a Monday night. Very few places are open in this area so we stumbled upon these lovely people who decided to be open! We were sat right away and the waitress was super nice and friendly. The restaurant is old and dark so atmosphere is not the best. I was sure what I wanted so I went with the cheese quesadilla. She asked if I wanted lettuce and I said sure. When it came out - it was not wait I expected. It was queso cheese and a tortilla dreaded in the soupy cheese. It tasted okay but I honestly was not a fan of it. I'd pass on this place and make a quesadilla at home if I lived in this area. The service is great but not enough for me to want to return. read more

I recently ordered the Chicken A La Mexican and the food was lacking flavor. The beans and rice were okay. The salsa for the chips was a BIG disappointment. Tasted like tomato sauce with chili powder mixed in. Would I go back? Definitely not. I have eaten at many Mexican restaurants in the U.S. and this food did not meet the standards of Authentic Mexican Cuisine. read more

It was... decent. I was in the area to hike the National Park and was looking for some food late on a Friday night. There weren't many options near my hotel unless I drove into Knoxville proper, so I headed over for some Mexican comfort food. The entrance was a bit chaotic with folks leaving, folks paying and me looking like a bump on a log having no idea what to do. Do I seat myself? Does someone come get me? There was no real indication of what do to. Someone finally took pity on me and led me to a table. There seemed to be a bit of a communication issue as I was ordering and the server kept pointing to a dish I didn't want even though I was pointing to exactly what I was asking for. After a bit my food arrived. I have never seen a quesadilla like this in my life, no matter what city or what country I have ordered one in. The tortilla part was buried under watery white queso and a mound of lettuce. I had to try to use my utensils to shove the queso off and get to the actual food portion, which was now stuck to the plate. This was definitely not the grilled, crunchy, stretchy cheese finger food I'm used to. The taste was just okay. If I was a local, I'm sure I'd be on the hunt for a better Mexican place. read more

Let's start with the salsa, queso and chips. The queso was a little runny and somewhat bland. Chips were very fresh/warm and I loved the smokiness of the salsa. Not too spicy, just right. I had the combo fajita. Plenty of chicken, onions and peppers with a little beef and very little shrimp. That was disappointing. Just three little shrimp and a few pieces of beef. Once seated, they came right over and served us. No waiting. I think they had plenty of staff to take care of everyone. The place looks like a typical Mexican restaurant. First time here, so we will give it a second try sometime. read more

Walking in, hector the man was here welcoming everyone inside...such a treat. Very sweet man indeed. He knows how to keep his business running. We have been coming in here since 1996 and we always peek inside the kitchen window from our seat to always find the same, lunch only, cook back in the kitchen preparing our meals. We stopped coming in at dinner time because the staff isn't the same and Hector always works lunchtime, when you know it's going to be good. The salsa here is so addicting. It's good. Got a kick to it. I always, always order the chicken chimichanga. It's a flour tortilla shell with shredded chicken inside with a few other secret ingredients with a brown sauce aka mole sauce, with some melted cheese on top. It's delicious. If your undecided when you come into order, order the chicken chimi. You won't regret it. You'll be addicted like I am. Come say hi to Hector at lunchtime. It's when it's the best. read more

A gem for comida Mexicana! I've been eating here for over 10 years and cannot recommend enough! The freshest ingredients, perfectly blended margaritas, and hospitable staff keep me coming back (even though I now live 6 hours away). If you're in the area do not hesitate to stop here for lunch or dinner, and be sure to have a Hector's margarita! read more

You know how, after a night of margaritas and broken promises, you're looking for something to revive your tequila hung over body, so you wander down the main drag in Puebla until you smell the unmistakeable aroma of sizzling pork in lard mixed with the inexplicable crispness of Mexican beer and all you want is to know how many pesos it is to the dollar so you can have whatever Mexican goodness is on that grill? No? Well, that's what you'll experience when you come here for dinner. Which you should do. Right now. Fast service. Good choices on the menu. Cold beer. Lots of chips and salsa... you'll like it! read more

This place has the best chicken fajitas I've ever had! We came here with a big party- about 8. And they brought us each a bowl of salsa which I really appreciated. The chips came out warm and crispy. The salsa was pretty spicy but still good. We ordered the chicken fajitas. It came with rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream, all on one big plate. These were absolutely amazing!! The chicken was juicy and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The onion was perfectly sweet and caramelIzed. It was seasoned in a sauce that was so delicious. It was a big portion but I ate so much because it was just that good. The beans were seasoned well. The only complaint I have is that the rice wasn't too great and I wish they gave more guacamole but rather than that, 100% recommended coming here. The server was really nice and did a great job with our big table. read more

Wow!! Talk about Smokey Goodness!! The Carne Asada on Cinco de Mayo was full of flavor and SMOKE! IT WAS AWESOME!! The service was at high speed and full of "Attention to details" as it was jam packed with a line out the door waiting for orders and seats! Felt like home with music playing and the ambience of everybody happy! Loved it! read more

Don't see what all the hype is about I'm from California so I know real Mexican food when I see it, the salsa tasted like taco sauce you would get from the store. The burrito and enchilada was just okay, like if someone bought it for me I would eat it, but don't plan on coming here again. Just not for me but that's just my opinion. read more

Been here twice. Im from CA (i know i suck) and i know mexican food better than anyone in Maryville and this place is pretty good. The beans are my favorite as they have a distinct lard taste to them which means they are made correctly. I got the chimichanga lunch special. Comes with machaca shredded beef inside. Well seasoned good beef. Their purveyor i believe is US Foods so not sysco garbage. The only thing i didnt like was the chimichanga was super small. Like a childs portion. But the beans and rice and guac with free chips and salsa made up for it i guess. Pro tip: if you want hot sauce you need to ask for the "salsa muy picosa" they dont give it to just anybody. Its a vinegar based very habanero sauce very hot. You gringos will cry. read more

I was very disappointed with my dish. I got the cheese enchilada. The beans tasted like they were just out of a can. I did not care for the kind of cheese they used in the enchiladas. The service was great and very courteous. Maybe I just chose the wrong dish! read more

Recently moved to the area from TX and looking for a solid Mexican place to become our new favorite. A few locals recommended Los Amigos so we gave it a shot. Place was packed on a Sunday for lunch. Think local church crowd comes here. Greeted and sat quickly. Service was wonderful and somehow they managed a packed out like a well oiled machine. Good food overall. Had two lunch specials which were standard fare but flavorful. Salsa was good but chips not fresh. Will definitely come back and try something from their main menu. Obviously a crowd favorite. read more

Our go-to Mexican restaurant! While there are a few good Mexican options in Maryville, Los Amigos is our favorite. I may be a bit biased, since they were my and my now-husbands first date spot, but I digress. The best queso and chips, I swear, live here. I love queso dip in general, but the consistency is the biggest factor for me. This dip is the perfect balance of thick but not overly so, and lots of flavor! After my fair share of bland cheese dips elsewhere, I can always count on Los to make it perfectly. One of my favorite things about Los though is the service! Family owned, and Hector is very kind and personable. All the wait staff are efficient and attentive, I've never had my food come out so fast at a sit down restaurant. I thought it was luck the first time, now I know to expect it! I always get the shredded chicken quesadilla (it's become my comfort food), but my husband had tried almost everything on their menu at this point and swears it's the best arroz con pollo he's had. If you need a quick Mexican fix, Los Amigos should be on your radar! read more

Our favorite for traditional Mexican. I crave the Carne Asada (thin beef steak). Service is good. Ambiance typical.

Unsalted chips, cold salsa out of a can. Quesadilla was terrible - an old family recipe, perhaps - because it was not like any quesadilla I have ever encountered. It was an unfilled tortilla topped with meat, another tortilla, then buried under some white watery sauce, then lettuce and tomato. It was not grilled but a gummy mess. Disappointing. The chimichanga was ok but drowned in the same watery white sauce that made it unpleasantly mushy/soggy. read more

The BEST Mexican food. You won't find anything better than Los. As Texans, it's the first place we visit when in town. read more

Los Amigos - Chicken enchiladas with queso. Rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - Maryville, Tennessee

My nephew Colin and I have been coming here for over 2 years and nobody here has disappointed us in any way. For starters the salsa is some of the best I ever had. It is not from a can but homemade as are all there dishes. My nephew loves the Carnitas and I usually get the chicken enchilada and a cheese relleno. If you want a Quesadilla go to Taco Bell! This is not your place. They make authentic Mexican dishes from scratch. The customer service is excellent consistently and Hector goes out of his way to Thank you. We don't go anywhere else for Mexican! read more

Just ate here tonight with my husband and two kids. Food was amazing and service was great! The place was packed and still had exceptional service. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. I cannot believe how good it was. The salsa is so good as it reminds me of a really good old school picante sauce. We also asked for homemade house hot sauce and everything on my face was burning and my nose was running as it was so good! I love it spicy! The husband had the Mexicano Ahi and it was delicious. I had the shrimp fajita flamdeas ( I know I spelled it wrong) and they were covered in melty cheese goodness. Kids had a cheese quesadilla and beef taco with rice. They have the best rice I have had at a Latino restaurant. We will definitely be back more often to this place. Keep up the great work!!! read more

Great food! Great service! We go once a week and order the exact same thing each time.

Been going here for 20 years! Love this place! They are like family. I like to get the Chicken Chimichanga

The best Mexican restaurant in Tennessee. Highly recommend. Try their Chile Rellenos. read more

First time here for lunch. The service is outstanding! The food, so-so. You sit where you want. Our server came over immediately with chips and salsa, and took our drink order. My house Margarita was decent. The food took awhile, as it was a very busy lunch hour. However, our sever brought us more chips and salsa without having to ask. My wife had the two chicken enchiladas with rice. I hade the beef and enchilada lunch special with rice. The sauce is good, but the beef was completely tasteless, as if they cooked it without a single spice (salt and pepper included). However, my wife's chicken was sauced and seasoned. We thought it overall, to be very average. read more

Amazing service, food, and an amazing environment and has amazing people and was very clean.

This is what my tastebuds experience as great quality homemade tasting Mexican Cuisine! Though it's not close to home, we travel often and will look forward to this delicious food on every trip to this area! This is not Tex-Mex, which I love too, this is complex and flavorful in a different way. read more

Now THIS is great Mexicans food! Hector and the team at Los Amigos are amazing and know how to treat customers. I never go to any other Mexican restaurants now. read more
