Great food, friendly service, and a New Mexico ambiance we were looking for. The locals seem to frequent this place--everyone knew and greeted each other warmly. I always consider that a great find. I had the Chile Relleno Plate and hubs ordered chicken enchiladas. Both came with sopappillas. I've never had a sopapilla before today. Everythingdelicious. read more

Horrific. The help were bragging about share-sneezing in my burger. Luckily I heard the entire staff including the managers laughing and bragging about sharing a sneeze in on my meal before I took my first bite of the burger. I couldn't help but at least try the onion rings, they were all cooked so perfectly who could resist. To that note the meals presentation was awesomeness! The servers smile was perfect and the atmosphere, as imitation as it was, could have had the same appeal. I do not recommend this experience, especially for the passive. Epic. read more

Los Amigos Restaurant - The DO NOT EAT ANYTHING FROM HERE Burger. - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Best chicken fried steak in town, best enchiladas, best salsa, great red AND green chili. Non-tourist prices, friendly competent service. Amazing sopapillas. It looks a little hole-in-the-wall, but it's clean, friendly, and the food is super good. There's a reason the parking lot is usually crowded. read more

I've been addicted to their red chile, beans, and posole ever since it opened. But right up there is the steak and enchiladas - red or Christmas. Damx delicious. Always friendly and fast service anda very clean environment. read more

Absolutely delicious Navajo taco! I had the chicken with green chili and it was huge. Definitely enough to share. It really hit. The spot service was on point and the gentleman at the front was very kind. read more

I'm always up for trying restaurants I've never been to before in my home state. Came with family and a friend and they both loved it. Food was really tasty and the chile wasn't too spicy but still flavorful. Ordered a strawberry margarita which tasted more like a strawberry Lemonade (which can be a good thing). Service was lacking, hence the 4 stars. Server who took our drink order just looked at us without asking us what we wanted to drink as if we're supposed to read his mind. Our main server was cordial but not overly friendly. Was lacking a table setting and had to ask twice. read more

Best Navajo Tacos I ever had. Must try it Christmas style. The flour tortillas are fantastic- light with no heavy lard. I highly recommend this place. Will be back! read more

I won't tell you what "this used to be" but Los Amigos stands on its own two feet. Breakfast is our go-to and I will Go To Los Amigos for breakfast. They make their own ham. They make their own potatoes and they make them work! Eggs the way you want them and yummy chile (Xmas anyone?) The servers are wonderful and extremely helpful. I don't know what they use for their chocolate cake, but I am in love . read more

This place was not on my foodie radar but my friends told me to try it. It was ok. Nothing to extraordinary. The service was really good. The food was good but the portions were just ok. The meat was seasoned a little different in the taco's almost like if they used taco seasoning from the store. The green chile was not hot. Idk if I'd eat here again. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. read more

Amazing food, amazing waiter (don't remember his name but he was really nice and served our table of 7), couldn't ask for anything better. Also was great scenery and immediately got seated. read more

Poorly managed and do not take complaints seriously. I complained about the temperature of my served food and the manager blamed the server and the kitchen. The server was blamed because I requested my meal be "stove hot" when I placed my order with her and it arrived at my table only tepid. The kitchen was blamed because it didn't make the effort to satisfy the customer request. The manager could only smile and make NO recommendation on what they could have done better. Very sad because this restaurant lacks pride for having some of the best recipes in Santa Fe. read more

This is my first visit to Los Amigos. I went with several of my co-workers for lunch. The thing that impressed me first was the restaurant is separated into three main sections. The first two were very nice. We sat in the third section, furthest from the door, nearest the road. Our table was a white folding table and our chairs were white folding chairs. I wasn't impress with that, but perhaps that was due to our being a large party so it is probably the best they could do, under the circumstances. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt in this case. The other sections looked much nicer. I had the Carne Adovada Platter which came with pinto beans and Spanish rice. It was delicious! The free chips and salsa were great. My dish didn't come with a sopapilla, but one of my co-workers did. There are three things that impressed me about Los Amigos' sopa's. (a) they are the largest sopapillas I have EVER seen! (b) They had the thinnest dough of any sopa I've ever seen. I have no idea how they achieved that, but its quite an accomplishment. (c) They were the most bland tasting sopa's I ever tasted. (My co-worker allowed me a taste.) Even those I had some drawbacks, because of the quality of the food I believe this to be a really good restaurant. Well worth your time to visit. read more

Great service and food! The staff is really great and the food is delicious! Great value!!

I've tried this place twice and the food is mediocre but the customer service is even worse. I ordered the taco plate x2 Togo and they forgot the beans and rice on both of them. Not that big of deal but when I called to ask about it she said "what do you want me to do about it I don't pack the food." Excuse me? Who talks to customers like that. That is literally half of our meal. tacos, beans and rice and THEY FORGOT THE BEANS AND RICE?? When I told her they forgot half of our meals she argued with me and told me to bring all my food back. I just got home and I have a toddler I'm not going to bring it back. It really wouldn't of been that big of problem but her attitude made it so much bigger. When I asked to speak to a manager she told me there wasn't one and to call tomorrow. So when I asked her name she said I'm not giving you my name and hung up on me. read more

Look somewhere else. This place used to be a great place to eat not anymore. The service and food has just gotten worse. The hostess is unkind! The service is a joke! Definitely will not come here again! read more

I would have given this restaurant fights are review. The only thing that stopped me from doing that is the fold-out tables with the plastic chairs in the back room. I love their green chili more than the red chile. Service was excellent. When I asked for a refill on chips they immediately brought me some more. I never had to ask for refilling tea. you get a good amount of food for your price. I had the blue corn enchiladas with two tortillas, I added chicken to mine you can add beef to yours if you so incline. I will definitely be back. my son and I enjoyed the food here more than the shed. read more

Los Amigos Restaurant - Cashier - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

My husband and I were passing through NM and were told to try this place. We were immediately disappointed because our server catered more to another table. We had to ask for chips and salsa 3x and had no refills on our drinks. The table next to us were immediately serviced and had chips and salsa with refills flowing. We just left and ended up in Albuquerque at Padilla's Mexican Kitchen where we were treated with respect and excellent service. I would not recommend this place!! We felt discriminated because the patrons who were served hands and feet were Caucasians. My husband and I are Natives. read more

We had the ground beef tacos, with rice and beans. There was no seasoning on the tacos, beans, or rice. We started with chips and salsa. the salsa tasted more like ketchup, than salsa, Pace salsa is terrible but would have had more flavor than their food. Even the salt we added to the food was not enough. read more

I got a chicken burrito here. It was so so so good. It was smothered in green chile and cheese. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the chile was reasonably spicy. I saved some for the next day...but my husband ate it. I was devastated. I will definitely come back...and there will be no left overs this time. read more

Recommend by some friends who have a home in the area. We would have never found this as well out of the main tourist area but definitely worth the trip and definitely a local hangout. All the meals come with a sopapilla or tortillas. Would recommend the sopapillas as they are huge and fresh. We are here twice on our short trip. First night I had the chile relleno plate and my wife had a combo plate. The chiles were huge and flavorful. My wife enjoyed all that was in her combo which I think included taco enchilada and tamale. The rice and beans are excellent and the sauces are excellent. Chips and salsa are excellent with good flavor. On the second night I had the chicken burrito and my wife had another combo plate. The burrito was STUFFED with shredded chicken breast and the green chile was excellent. The highlight of night 2 was a HUMONGOUS piece of 5 layer chocolate cake. We saw this the first night but did not get any. Could not pass up on night 2. I have never gotten a piece of cake at a restaurant this large. We shared it that night and had enough left over to share again the next night. Service was really good night one and a little slow the second night but still not enough to drop it off 5 stars. If you have transportation while visiting Santa Fe definitely make a trip to this local gem. read more

Great New Mexican home cooking with a friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. The posible may be the best in Santa Fe. No outdoor dining, but we often do takeout. read more

I had 2 pm lunch, was surprised how busy it was at 2 pm. I ordered the margarita, on the rocks. Waiter said they do not serve margaritas on the rocks but slushie style only, so I agreed to try it. Then he brings it....on the rocks! What? I assume his English is not very good. Oh, well. The margarita on the rocks is excellent. The salsa served with chips is perfect heat...medium. I ordered the tres enchiladas. When served, the enchiladas are in middle of plate with pinto beans on one side and rice on other....WHAT? Why are the beans not next to the rice, I like to mix them together, not eat them separately! The enchiladas are ok at the best. I wanted a piece of carrot cake but they were out...at 2 pm, and you are already out of carrot cake...what?! read more

I recently went to a couple of the highest rated mexican restaurants around in Santa Fe, and got to try a majority of their food. Carne advova- The taste portions and tenderness is excellent. Definitely recommend this here Chips - average chips, free Sopapilla- this sopapilla is the best I've had in Santa fe. We ordered it on the side after everything was done and it came out crispy and huge Ribeye Steak- Quite good, original taste, no need for steak sauce or anything. Very tender Portions: Good sized, decent pricing Recommend this place over the others: cheaper prices, great sopapilla, free chips, above average everything read more

We used to call in an order every Saturday for my son. Tortilla burger, XMas. But the last time we went they gave us a burger with like 3 melted slices of cheese instead of the usual shredded cheese. It looked like the burger was covered in nacho cheese. So when we asked why that was the co owner, I think her name is Maria(Rudy's wife) was rude, acted like the burger always comes like that. She was so rude that we're not going back. Probably because we're Chicano and not Mexican like her. I noticed they only cater to their own kind. By the way my son hated the burger. I noticed one star a lot lately, it's a bad trend. Rudy needs to get rid of everyone and start over. The young guy at the register doesn't know what he's doing and is rude also. read more

There are Mexican restaurants and then there are Mexican restaurants, los Amigos is definitely at the top of any list! We arrived in Santa Fe in time for dinner, road buzzed and hungry after the long miles that day. We were greeted with smiles and seated quickly. Our waitress was quick with our water and cerveza order and took our dinner order. The food arrived quickly and was steaming hot. It was quickly apparent that lots of the ingredients were fresh and locally grown. The flavor was fantastic and bright. The waitress came by several times to fill our drinks and check on how we were doing. Let's talk about the sopaipa, it was great! Great in flavor, freshness, and size! Served still steaming from the fryer it socks up that honey goodness. Be good to yourself, stop in and have a great meal! read more

Solid food, but nothing spectacular. This place may even be slightly below average, since there are so many great NM restaurants in Santa Fe at various price points and grease levels. I've eaten here twice and been underwhelmed. Like I said, solid, but I don't think it's likely that I'll come back, despite the fact that the service was great, and the place is full of locals. The chile rellenos have an odd aftertaste that makes me suspect that they're stuffed with cream cheese. Also, FYI, these are the type of rellenos that have a thick layer or batter. On the upside, the beans aren't overly salty, but they're also not super flavorful. The Spanish rice tastes good, but tastes too much like canned tomatoes, and not enough like spices for my taste. The red chile was pretty good, although it's of the "bright" flavor, as opposed to the smoky flavor I prefer. La Choza/The Shed definitely have better red chile. The sopapillas are too large, which is problematic, since they don't fry well, and end up doughy. read more

I love coming here. Free chips and salsa with as many refills as you want. The food is always great as is the service. Great prices for a lot of food. If you are not in the mood for Spanish food no need to worry. They have burgers, chicken, steak, and other foods that do not contain chile. You can also order your food with chile on the side if you want to add it to your liking. read more

Being generous because we are passing through, and we like supporting local restaurants. But it was mediocre at best. Just seemed like they did not care. Chips were not good. (Table near ours even sent them back). Rice was gooey. Chicken enchilada was dry. Chili Relleno was good. Disappointing read more

We came to the right timing for lunch before the crowd started. The deco is very Santa Fe style and the food is very typical New Mexico where you can get comfort food smothered with green and / or red chiles and cheese. We ordered the Mexico platter, breakfast sandwiches, Huevos Rancheros and side of sopapillas( fried bread). They were greasy-spoon brunch and hit the spot! I was a little bit disappointed about the sopapillas because they didn't turn out the brownish color which was supposed to be. The size of them are bigger than my hand and then I ate it with honey. The service was great and waitstaff were attentive and friendly . Overall, it was good experience and we will be back! read more

Maybe it was a mistake coming to this popular restaurant on a Sunday. Although we had an 'okay' lunch, we were virtually ignored by our waitress during our entire visit. No chips & salsa; no drink refills; no 'how's it going.' I had a chicken Caesar salad that was soaked with salad dressing. The broiled chicken was nicely seasoned. My friend had the cheese nachos, which were tasty and full of cheese. The physical ambiance of Los Amigos is pleasant, and the dinging room was packed when we were there. Too bad, though, that the staff is so indifferent to their patrons. read more

Bro J and TT arrived on Friday and we headed to La Choza without reservations. When we learned of the one hour wait, we got back in the car and headed for Café Castro. Hmmmmm, closed since last year, so Yelp helped us find Los Amigos, a little off the path beaten by the tourists. It is well rated without having 200 reviews which I always find promising. From the outside, it is deceiving. It is not all lit up and is not on a main street where a lot of people would drive by and just say, "Hey, there is a place, let's try it". Yet they were full with a 15 minute wait, which tells me they have a loyal local clientele. The salsa would not be a reason to go here, it is pretty much sweet, tomato puree, but then I never go somewhere for chips and salsa, so that was a throwaway. On the other hand, Bro J's carne adovada was remarkable, nearly the best of the trip so far out of 3-4 places. This is about the richest carne adovada can be without being too much so. Absolutely delicious with tender, moist well cooked pork. This put Maria's in perspective. Get your red chile fix here. I ordered a big bowl of pork and green chile stew. It is a brothy style, with largish chunks of pork and potato. It did not have a ton of green chile, but it was really good, a homemade style. I dressed it with a squeeze of lime and a dash of salt and it was perfect. TT had her usual chilles rellenos. The red chile she had on top that was extremely rich, like the adobo on the carne. Bro J's side of posole stayed with the rich red theme. This is not soup. It had large chunks of very good pork and not so much corn. The style is redder, richer and thicker than typical. Very good. On the slight downside, the frijoles are pintos, served whole (which is good) but I thought they needed a little salt and somehow they were a little sweet. The rice was the plastic pellet kind, like Maria's and pretty tasteless. So far we are 0 for 3 on rice this trip. In summary, this is a great, home style place. You will enjoy excellent carne adovada or pork and green chile stew. Our service was excellent and the prices are reasonable. You can expect to wait a little but it is worth it. read more
