I'm a longtime fan of Los Amigos. I got the surf and turf burrito with no adjustments. It was yummy (as always). I also got chips and queso on the side. I cannot say I'm a big fan of their queso which was a bummer. The horchata is delicious. Rich, creamy, and flavorful. The staff are always kind and welcoming. There's plenty of seating inside, you can opt for tables or bar seating by the window. read more

My only complaint about this place is that they do not have an operational phone number, so you can't call them at all (I drive in to the area often and would love to order when I'm on my way but can't do that without pulling over). You must order online or in person. But that doesn't stop me. My quest for the Plantain burrito cannot be held back by lack of telephone. I called a friend and had them place the order for me because I was in a rush and a quick regular plantain burrito was exactly what I needed to heal me. The bathroom is clean and it is a single gender neutral bathroom. I keep coming back for the Plantain burrito and I'm not even a vegetarian, I just really like it the best. read more

Always extremely fast. This place is one of my work go tos and when I have a busy day I can order from my phone and my food will be ready in 5 minutes. I come for the mango salsa. I love it! You have to try it. Los amigos only drops one star for me because sometimes even when you put on a lot of add ons my bowl or burrito can taste a little bland. I think it depends on who's putting it together. All in all solid spot though and I am always happy. read more

Came in for a burrito today. Staff was a little rude but nothing crazy. Didn't know about the upcharge for guac or queso until I got to the register and my total was significantly more than the stated price for a burrito. Didn't see it posted anywhere but I'm sure It was probably somewhere in very small font or something. All that being said, the food was good and the price would've probably been too had I known about the upcharge and avoided those items. I'll probably be back with that knowledge. read more

Los Amigos is so clean and the service is amazing! We ordered the Al Pastor and the Coconut Shrimp burritos. I think both lacked a little flavor but I love the innovative idea of adding coconut shrimp to a burrito! The shrimp wasn't overly fried but had that crisp outside. I also added an egg so it made the burrito juicy. Overall, a great fast and casual place to grab a quick bite in a clean and calming setting. read more

Overall a good experience from start to finish. Definitely a normal, run of the mill experience for a fast casual burrito spot. The chicken here was a little too chewy for my liking so while I was eating my burrito it felt like I really had to work for it LOL. All in all, I was in and out within about 7 minutes so it was a quick and easy interaction but the chicken itself wasn't my favorite. read more

Food is absolutely delicious. I love their spicy steak, and the portions are great too. Unfortunately, I had to dock a star because I asked multiple times if the spicy steak cost extra and the worker said no repeatedly and then proceeded to charge me extra :( read more

This place is great! One of few places I can get genuinely spicy food without getting the watered down version. Saw a few fun reviews so let address them: - elotes are what to expect on the street in Mexico, not an Americanized version (just because it doesn't have pickled red onions and Cotija doesn't mean it isn't authentic, you're just not as cultured as you think) - salsa is good but if you get JUST chips and salsa your life is sad so get the guac or a taco or something, enjoy life a little - the food is reasonably hot and not over packaged, don't blame them for you delivering a burrito 30 minutes away in the winter - the pastor is delicious and super flavorful - the portions are great Once in a while, I get a burrito that's a little light on shrimp or has the sauce on one side but compared to Chipotle, they're batting a thousand. Amigos! read more

wonderful burrito. real cooking. far better than any other takeout burrito around here.

We came in about 30mins before closing and there were still people lining up. We just wanted something light, so we tried the elite and al pastor taco. The elote was fire-grilled, drizzled with a slightly spicy sauce, and sprinkled with cheese. It's delicious for corn, but its very different from the elotes I'm used to. Usually its covered with mayo so that the cheese (usually cojita) sticks to it, along with tons of other herbs and spices. This looks too plain to be considered elote and I was slightly disappointed. The al pastor taco was good; i like that they included pineapples in it. It also had delicious sauce. It's not the greatest, but it's one of the better tacos around Davis. read more

Hands down the best fast casual Mexican I have ever experienced. I would sell my soul for a Los Amigos to open next door to me. If I won the lottery, I would personally fund the opening of a Los Amigos in my house. The food experience here is more consistent than anything else I have in my life and the service is top notch. Chipotle might skimp you on meat, but Los Amigos would never. Sometimes I have to put half of my burrito bowl in the fridge because it is too large to finish. The mango salsa is impeccable and makes the entire meal. I go to school down the street and I use any excuse I can to zip on down and grab a burrito bowl. Bad day in class? Burrito bowl from Los Amigos. Did well on an exam? Celebratory burrito bowl. Class canceled? Might as well grab a burrito bowl. You get the picture. Go here. You will not be dissapointed. read more

Ordered delivery for myself and some friends from Los Amigos recently for the first time. We were all pleasantly surprised. I got an al pastor quesadilla which is essentially a toasted burrito, and it was delicious and filling. I love that you can add plantains to any meal. I also loved how well integrated all the ingredients were. I felt like I was getting all the different flavors in every bite. I would've maybe wanted more al pastor as a prominent flavor in the quesadilla though. Two friends got bowls. I think they were a bit disappointed in the size of the bowl. One friend had visited another location and said they were much more generous there. We also got fried yucca and plantains on the side, both were a decent serving size and delicious. The horchata was delicious and creamy and not too sweet. Overall, would definitely order again! read more

**Don't patronize misogynists, of any culture** The men behind the counter at Los Amigos in Davis Square have a habit of talking about the women in Spanish if they think they don't understand. I speak a fair amount of Spanish so I speak Spanish in front of them so that they know I can understand, and the last time I came in they were pretty embarrassed because they had made comments about my appearance. Today when I came in I noticed the men say something and one of them quickly told them I spoke Spanish. I didn't want anyone to be intimidated by my presence, but, last time, I wanted to set the tone that making comments about their female customers was inappropriate. This time I tried to joke with the men in English but they didn't understand me (or pretended not to,) so I tried the same joke on the cashier, and she didn't seem to understand me either (or pretended not to.) After I got my food, I sat nearby, and the young female cashier went over to the men and mocked me, because the last time I had come in, I had used the word "Chulo" to mean cool and apparently it means something different in her country. Then one of the men said loudly to her in Spanish, "She comes in here speaking Spanish, trying to be intelligent, but in reality she's a "hueca," which means "empty headed" to put it mildly. I turned to them and said, "who's a hueca?" I turned back to my lunch and took a few more bites, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they weren't speaking about me, but the man began again, speaking faster this time to the cashier, assuming I wouldn't understand, then said, "See, she won't look over here. She's acting like she doesn't understand me." Then he said something to the effect of he doesn't put up with that because he's from El Salvador. Well, Mr. El Salvador, maybe you're the empty headed one, because this intelligent woman is letting the public know that Los Amigos in Davis Square, Somerville permits its staff to speak disparagingly about its female customers. When the owner sees that this is going to hurt their business, perhaps they may make him change his tune. Thumbs down Los Amigos. read more

Alright place for burritos to go. I think the tacos might be better though. I got the 12' al pastor burrito, and the edges of the burrito had too much bunched up/folded over tortilla wrap and not enough filling. Also, the al pastor was not very flavorful. I tried the surf and turf as well, and I think the steak was much tastier, which was surprising to me since I usually prefer al pastor over steak. Also, they have an over-easy burrito that's not listed on their main menu. My friends ordered it, and it looked pretty good! They even cook the egg and chorizo fresh for your burrito! If I'm back, I will probably try this or go for the tacos. read more

Absolutely delicious shrimp tacos I've had. Even now after few weeks I still crave on how delicious they were. I ordered Tropic style tacos and sadly they were bit shaken up by me on my walk home but they tasted awesome nonetheless. The surf & turf burrito was quite nice as well but definitely I'd be praising about the tacos more and quite pricy too those tacos but its worth every bite :) I ordered online for take outs but like most restaurants these days the surcharges are there in their menu prices. I tried calling them for phone order to avoid it but alas they didn't pick up. Probably just have to stick to ordering in person to avoid the extra fees for take outs. But honestly its worth it to jump through these hoops as the food is simply amazing. I'm happy they're located so conveniently in Davis Sq as I'll be a regular coming over soon read more

Bienvenidos, Los Amigos! This is an awesome addition to the fast-casual food scene in Davis Square. Los Amigos has Chipotle (ick), Anna's (meh), AND Tenoch to compete with, but they hold their own with their great flavors and various offerings. We went on a Friday night and were moved pretty quickly through the line. So this is a solid option for when you're really hungry/have somewhere to be. You can build-your-own bowl or burrito as well as select a taco or burrito from the menu. They also have some sides (elote!) and desserts (churros! dessert quesadilla?). For the burritos, you select small (10") or large (12"). Burrito with plantains? Genius. The plantain burrito on the menu doesn't have any meat, so I added spicy chicken to mine for an extra charge. This burrito was great -- sweet plantains melded with the spice, cheese, and sauce which was soaked up by the beans and rice. However, I would ask them to majorly decrease the amount of whole jalapeños they added, since I got a few mouthfuls of straight fire that sent tears to my eyes. Boyfriend got the al pastor burrito which was also delicious. The meat was seasoned super well which balanced out the sweet pineapple. I have a feeling Los Amigos and I will become fast friends. read more

Just had the plantain burrito- it was killer. Fresh flour tortilla with melted cheese, cilantro rice, lettuce, flavorful black beans, plantains, guac, mango salsa, and a good creamy sauce. The churros were tasty, with a surprising custard-y cream inside. I've also had the surf and turf- with steak and shrimp, which definitely hit the spot, and was addicting. Just stopped in for another plantain burrito- took a star off bc/ they were a little heavy handed on the chipotle mayo, the bathroom latch didn't work, and I would prefer a traditional churro. Or, if they're going to fill it, fill it with chocolate- like I've had in Mexico City. read more

Yum! Came here with a group on Sunday night. The burritos are fantastic! I made my own with chili verde pork. One thing I appreciated was that I didn't get any salsa (the pork was marinated), so they adjusted the amounts of the other fillings. The burritos are soooo good. They have a number of different toppings you can add to the outside of your burrito. They have 6 smaller tables of 4 and a small counter by the window you can sit at. There's plenty of fountain drinks and Mexican soda to choose from. One thing I think would be helpful is to price out the add ons. For example, I had guac in my burrito, and I think it was an extra charge. I didn't see that on the menu though. Also, get a churro! They are made to order and so good! Will definitely be back. read more

Wow, this place is delicious! I got the small al pastor burrito and it was juicy, hot, super fresh, and very filling. The setup of Los Amigos is similar to Anna's and Chipotle, and they have burritos, tacos, salads, and quesadillas mainly. The prices are very reasonable. It's a great addition to the Davis square area, and I'm excited to come back here and try their build your own burritos! read more

Rounding up to a 4 from what I think is 3.5 experience at Los Amigos. I've been here twice in the last week, and there were a couple flaws I noticed with the place. First, when you walk in there are 2 servers who will make your order "Chipotle-style" down the line. Meats and all the fillings are laid out and look fresh. However, I noticed that they seem constantly FLOODED with online Postmate orders that they don't really acknowledge customers who are standing right in front of them until they finish whatever order it is they're in the middle of. It looked quite hectic (and a bit sloppy) for the servers to have to customize orders as quickly as possible from the printed receipts. They looked disoriented having to grill certain items in the back like shrimp while throwing on prepped items. After waiting on both visits for a couple minutes, I was able to give my order. Visit 1: 10" California burrito. Tasty, flavorful chicken and fillings although I kinda laughed inside when I saw the potatoes they put into the burrito are actually 3 tater tots. Visit 2: 12" Al Pastor burrito. This was a letdown: mostly rice + other veggies and very very little meat which ended up being these tiny pieces of spiced pork with some pineapple chunks. I added mango salsa for the heck of it but didn't like this one, it was bland while being too sweet. I did get to try their churro ($2.50) which was served hot from the fryer and had a mildly-sweetened custard inside-- great! Overall, I think Los Amigos offers a clean, new space for Mexican eats but needs improvement on streamlining the pace of service. They serve cool natural sodas on tap and offer horchata. BYOB is a good option if you wanna try making your own style of food! read more

Before the recession (or whatever it is depending on who you ask), I used to religiously order a Surf & Turf burrito because they gave a satisfying amount of both proteins. However, I've grown increasingly disappointed these past few months as I could tell that the amount of shrimp has decreased in my SURF & Turf burritos. But I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt - maybe these past orders were flukes? NOPE. I will gaslight myself no more. In my most recent order of the same burrito I've been getting for 2 years, THERE WAS NO SHRIMP in my SURF & Turf. I am disappointed when my expectation of an order is not fulfilled. TLDR: Do not get the Surf & Turf burrito because you'll just get the Turf part - it was still pretty good. read more

Good quick burrito spot, nothing crazy but I enjoy their Al Pastor Burrito. Their salsa is not great so avoid that unless you're craving chips and salsa. Not the most friendly spot but not unfriendly. read more

The food is delicious but the service is sickening at Los Amigos. To start out, they refuse to answer the phone and when you show up they hardly speak to you. Catering to online orders primarily, Los Amigos makes you wait forever when you are picking up. Just give up the prime real estate and move into your ghost kitchen because this is NOT a restaurant. read more

Once again they give me chicken when I paid and ordered spicy beef. Not once has this place got my other right. Then you call to complain and their phones go right to voice mail. Low and behold their voice mails full and you get disconnected. Booooooo. read more

Only got the chips and salsa, so I don't know how the actual food tastes, but the chips were kind of plain. The salsa was just okay too, it didn't have any kick or big flavors to it, and it was plain tasting as well. It also didn't have much in it, it was less than half of a brown paper bag full of chips. read more

Good eats! Stopped by for lunch with a friend around 3, no line. We both ordered build your own bowls. You can also get burritos, quesadillas, and salads to customize as well as set burritos and tacos (including fish tacos). You order your meal "chipotle" style, I customized my bowl with rice, black beans, chicken, lettuce, pico, guac, shredded cheese, corn salsa and sour cream. There are many meat options and other toppings to add like jalapeños and other salsas. The bowl was very good, fresh, and seemed like a little more of an authentic version of what chipotle is serving. The restaurant itself is very clean and modern. They have chulula hot sauce on all the tables which is a personal favorite so I loved that! Can't wait to go back and try out some other menu items. read more

Los Amigos Taqueria - Custom Bowl - Tex-Mex Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Ordered through UberEats, so we knew that there was a chance of the food being cold upon arrival. After spending $56 (including fees and tip), we received two custom burritos and two custom tacos. The taste was okay (didn't like finding chicken joints in one of the tacos but at least it was real meat). Here were the issues: 1. Food packaging was inadequate to contain the heat. 2. Utensils and napkins requested - Not Received. 3. One burrito was supposed to include guacamole - Not Received. 4. Ordered the chips and guacamole side - Not Received. 5. Burritos were not labeled. 6. Taco tortillas were soggy, causing the tacos to fall apart. Disappointing, particularly considering the price. Los Amigos Taqueria is probably fine if you dine onsite. Not recommended for delivery, and I feel ripped off. Opened a complaint with UberEats but I don't have a lot of faith in them. read more

Just tried out Los Amigos today via Uber Eats and have to say I'm pretty disappointed. Got a spicy chicken burrito bowl, grilled chicken quesadilla, and California burrito. The bowl was tiny and there wasn't the option to get fajitas veggies without being charged extra, which is really odd in my opinion since these are pretty much standards in most burritos. The spicy chicken wasn't spicy at all, and the rice was doused in the watery spicy sauce, so everything was soggy. The flavors just weren't there. The quesadilla was wrapped up since I got delivery, but it was so poorly done so that everything fell out with every bite. Like my bowl, there was so little chicken as well. My friend said the burrito was ok. Chips were solid but the portion was dinky. With a lot of other Mexican restaurants around the area, it will be really hard to come back. read more

This was my first time here and I wasn't disappointed. You can get burritos, or bowls and customize anything. All the ingredients look fresh and delicious in front of you and there's many flavors for the "speciality" items. I had a hard time choosing but went with the coconut shrimp! It tasted wonderful and the portion size was perfect. read more

Quick follow-up: I never heard back from Los Amigos after I emailed them about my concerns over the lack of masks. But today I got a marketing email. Cool cool cool, I love it when food services disregard public health, ignore customer inquiries, then subscribe me to their marketing email lists. Terrible way to run a business, IMHO. read more

I have gotten many burritos from many burrito places, and I really liked the ones I recently got here. September 2020. Many burrito places have very similar options. Notable here is that you can get a whole wheat wrap instead of white, and --amazingly --you can get brown rice instead of white. I like to eat whole natural foods, so not having to sacrifice my preferences here was a real plus. Friendly staff too. I highly recommend this place. I can't comment about any other food other than the burritos. read more

Great burritos, friendly staff, convenient location. Top burrito choice in Davis Square. We had an "over-easy" burrito and a California burrito with al pastor. The over-easy really works for me. It combines chorizo and fried eggs grilled a la plancha with yellow rice, pico de gallo, queso fresco, guac and pickled jalapeños. The savory chorizo and runny egg yolk form a delicious contrast with the acidic pico de gallo. Great call if you're super hungry. The California burrito is a solid option if you want a good balance of the ingredients. The tortillas are really good too. The location is very convenient if commuting through Davis and has consistently been a good ordering experience. I wouldn't drive across town for the burritos, but is the top choice in Davis. read more

Ordered a burrito, chips salsa and guacamole. The chips were terrible. Its like they were from literally one month ago.

I created my own burrito. It was a whole wheat 12 incher neatly packed with cilantro brown rice, pinto beans, grilled chicken, jack cheese, eggplant salsa, lettuce, spinach, avocado cream, and plantains. OKAY first of all can we talk about the chicken? It's like chicken fresh off the grill, perfectly cooked. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE PLANTAINS? Inside a burrito??? Banana ideas with banana delicious results. I don't know what the eggplant sauce is supposed to taste like since I was pretty focused on the sweetness of the plantain but it's good and mild. Avocado cream is french kiss with plantains. Big 2in1 avocado for the burrito and cream for the plantains. Overall, yes. YES! To think I was about to settle for chipotle. I wish I took a picture but I was too excited and hungry. Also, the churro! I love churros I'm no expert but just know yes it's delicious. It's a good portion too. read more

I grew up in Somerville and ate Anna's for 20 years. When Los Amigos moved in to Davis Sq I laughed. How could they compete? They don't - They dominate.

You will not be disappointed. There is a new king of burritos in Davis Sq. read more

Solid, well wrapped burrito - not soggy or dripping like some other places. I ordered the full works: chicken, broccoli, spinach, both beans, cheese, cilantro brown rice, guacamole, salsa, chipotle sauce. There was far more rice than other ingredients and no more than a teaspoon of guac, but overall tasty and filling. read more
