After having a nasty experience somewhere else, we decided to try out the food here.. The food was delicious, everything was well priced AND BEST OF ALL THE SERVICE !! A++ We told them our experience and why we ended up at their location, they went above and beyond to help us have a good evening !! Definitely appreciative read more

Been twice so far, Small, busy, loud place. One of the better Mexican restaurants I've been to in the city. Very colourful and festively decorated inside. Service is slow, I don't think they quite have enough staff on the floor for such a busy spot, but the food is great and the entertainment makes me feel like I was in Mexico again. First time I had the chiliquiles, which were awesome, added a fried egg on top. I also ordered a lime margarita but it lacked flavour. Second time I had the enchiladas, delicious love their house made salsas and sauces. Average pricing, overall good experience both times. read more

I've driven by this place a thousand times and thought it was just a quick fast food joint. This weekend, we were at the Duggan mall and decided to try it - boy, were we pleasantly surprised. The place is much larger inside than you would think. We decided to eat in and ordered both tacos and enchiladas. The service was quick and the food was tasty and came with beans and rice and salsa. We left satisfied and will return. read more

Went here for the first time this week for supper on a Friday night. The place was very busy--all tables full--from 6:30 when we arrived until 8:30 when we left. The only real disappointment (slight) was the sangria which cost $30 for a pitcher and seemed to be concocted of red wine and tang. (There was no fruit in the sangria.) But it tasted "okay." The food was amazingly good and it all tasted home-cooked. Apparently the owners of this restaurant are from Mexico and it shows. The enchiladas with mole sauce were fantastic. (The menu said "mole and feta cheese," but the feta cheese was so miniscule it looked like a light sprinkling of salt.) Nevertheless, the overall meal was great. The re-fried beans were black beans, which is different, but delicious. We loved it all, and did not have any tummy or bowel upsets, which I always feel is a sign that the food is fresh and the kitchen is clean. Our server was cheerful and quick, recommending that in the future we call for reservations, as Friday and Saturday nights are VERY busy. We were surprised at how "authentic" the little restaurant felt, and will definitely be returning. Expect to spend $15 - $17 for an entree. Do NOT go to this restaurant if your idea of "great Mexican food" is Taco Bell, Taco Time, Burrito Libre or any of those other chain restaurants. read more

Mmmm. Love their Bulldogs and fish tacos. First authentic Mexican restaurant I've been to here in Edmonton. I've tried their chicken enchiladas and haven't been let down either! If you want to try these guys, they always have a Groupon available. read more

the food was amazing...yes i cannot say anything bad about it the service is another story...our waitress was RUDE. it took 45 min for our food to even arrive. She checked on us once as she walked by. When i paid ny bill i told them how i felt the replied "well dont come back then" The bill was average and thanks to groupon made it cheaper. FOOD ********** service *** waitress no comment except enroll in people skills at the community college signed~ a very irritated customer read more

Wow now I really know what it's like to get ripped off! 2 off us ate here for just over $50 and all we had was chips and salsa, 2 orders of enchiladas and 2 glasses of water. The enchiladas were just 2 very small corn tortillas folded in half, stuffed with about 1 tbsp of filling, topped with a little sauce and a sprinkle of queso fresco and then microwaved. The rice was plain white rice with frozen mixed vegetables peas, corn and carrots. Need I say more??? read more

flavor=8 $=7 service=9 atmosphere=9 menu=7 avg=8 went there on a weekday with my wife. what i liked about that place is that they played these random mexican shows on the big screen tv. some might say it is too loud and distracting. but nah its just right. i mean it isn't a romantic restaurant to begin with. its hard to give a higher score to this joint because i have enjoyed a lot of mexican restaurants in california. and the quality and the quantity both are higher back there. i do love the complimentary salsa. its a great touch. and with the mexican beer. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. the best. some commented that the portions are huge but i didn't think so. the flavor was pretty good. i had a steak marinated in beer. and enjoyed it. but was disappointed they didn't have their flan. only churros. fried food for dessert? hmm...i wish we had another option but we had it anyways! our russian server was friendly too and we were pretty satisfied. however....we found the bill a little expensive. it was a tuesday or a wednesday and all entrees were supposed to be 10% off. 2 entrees. 2 beers. 1 dessert. all for $60+? including a nice tip...i don't know something just doesn't add up. i wish they'd show me the bill instead of me just having to go to the cashier cause the bill still bothers me to this day! read more

My boyfriend and I ordered their special - we paid 50$. The food was mediocre, the flaming pot looked cool, and the server was friendly. The shrimp and lobster was tasty, but the meats were over-spiced. read more

We dropped into Three Amigos for some lunch. I had heard good things so was glad to finally give it a try. The décor is a bit over the top and the music was a bit too loud for a lunch crowd. I'm not sure if it was an 'Off day", the help wanted sign in the window or that we ordered poorly, but wow what terrible food. I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and my partner had Chilaquiles. My meal was surprisingly bland- plain chicken with no spice or flavor wrapped in tortilla, and as they were out of the Mole Poblano sauce I got green salsa on top, and that's all. I wondered if hospital food would be like this on a Mexican themed night. My partner's Chilaquiles were chips, the same bland (boiled?) chicken all floating in a clear broth. We tried to enjoy it but eventually left about 80% of the meals. The waitress asked if we wanted to take it home but it just wasn't worth it. We said it wasn't that great and she told someone who took the cheaper meal off our bill. I really wanted to like this place as I really enjoy food in Mexico, especially the little cantinas; but I can't see going back here again. read more

Our 15 minute wait turned into a 35 minute wait. We were told to order a large flaming sharing dish that on the menu was $55 but were told that night was $60. We were told it came with tortillas and soup. When it came the server told us she made a mistake, and actually the "set" that came with the dish was in place of the soup. Our steak way underdone. When we complained one of the chefs came out and told us our experience would be better if we made a "reso". He asked what he could do, so we asked for the water we wanted as no one had checked on us for quite some time. We got our water, and a free dessert to share. But we won't be back. read more

Really like this place, a client of mine recommended it and it was awesome. Im really hesitant when it comes too exotic foods but all was good. The atmosphere reminded me of Mexico, Ive been there plenty and well I felt I nwas there until I looked out the window of course and saw the snow. I cant remember the name of the food we ordered but it was #21 really spicy and #22 . Both items were really tasty and the service was great. One issue is that this places are near junior high schools so iuf you go there during lunch might be a line and mite have pees with attitude lounging around. I will be a return customer. Keep it up read more

This place is quite far from where i live. We drive 40mins just to eat here. We discovered it on our gps one sunday afternoon and decided to try it out. amazing. I always order they're empandas dish. Comes with 3or 4 empanadas your choice of chicken or beef. on the side rice//beans and the mexican flag, avacado,salsa,and sour cream. separate comes totillas and I always order a jarrito.=lime. lol. My husband always gets his dish which is a steak dish he enjoys. This is a good serving portion too. You don't feel overwhelmed by the amount or have a huge stomach ache after your done lol. I recommend you trying it out at the annual latin fest, they had a tent up last year. Very tasty and fresh. Also they bring out a fresh batch of nachos, still warm with salsa. Super good service!!! Will visit when in area!!!! read more

Loved it! Good authentic Mexican food in a suburban strip mall. Must go back for the super sized marguerita.

the three amigos is decorated with mexican-themed garlands and cactus-shaped confetti. the inside is very quiet, because you should spend time thinking about which salsa you would like. there are nine different types. the food is authentic. sometimes, you will wonder if you recognize the song that is playing, but you will understand before long that you recognize none of the music. you will want to come back: half to take pictures of the decor, and half to eat the food again. read more

Awesome drinks, good specials, great service!! Amazing night out for less than $100! The decor was cute and comfy the drinks were great and the food/service was perfect. Definitely will be back! read more

Great little place for an evening of conversation. The service took longer than it should have and there was no excuse but there was a guy there playing guitar to keep us entertained. The food was really good. read more

Pro: Homemeade corn tortillas Con: Overpriced; Overall mediocre, bland flavors $11.50 for three small tacos and some bland rice and beans, and I wasn't even offered some chips and salsa to snack while I waited..? My plate arrived with no side of extra salsa to spice up my meal. Not like the drops of salsa that were served default on the tacos added much anyway. Too bad... Add this one to the growing list of places in Edmonton I don't have to return to. read more

We tried this restaurant for the first time, but waited over 35 minutes for our food after ordering and had to leave for another commitment. We saw another table that arrived after us get their food, eat their food, get the cheque, and pay, while we were still waiting. Our drinks had run out for 15 minutes before we were finally able to wave our server down to tell her we had to leave. Don't go here if you expect reasonable service. I cannot comment on the food, because we never got any! We were left starving and in a hurry. We will never go back. read more

We went to the downtown Three Amigos location on a Friday at 11:45. We were seated immediately, but had to wait for one person to join us at 12:00. In the meantime, we were served drinks. The last member of our party, who I will repeat was there at NOON, didn't receive a drink until our order was taken at 12:45. So from the time our whole party was seated, it took 45 minutes, I repeat, 45 minutes (!) to place an order, despite repeated efforts to flag down a waitress. Both waitresses were so negligent, we thought they were pointedly ignoring our side of the restaurant. By the time our order was taken, one member at our table was unable to order the ceviche, as they had run out, so she settled for chips&guac. After our order was taken, we waited ANOTHER 45 minutes to get our food, despite 3/5 dishes being things that would have been prepared ahead of time (tamales, chips&guac, and empanadas). To add insult to injury, two members of our table were asked to change their orders 20 minutes after we ordered, because since our order was the last to be taken in the restaurant (despite being the third table seated), they had just run out of food. Then, when the food came out, the chicken empanadas that were ordered came out as beef empanadas! When we paid our bill, the waitress was using every excuse in the book: 1. Sorry guys, we are really busy (at this point, there was only one other table seated in the restaurant, aside from us). 2. Everyone comes at one time, and we get slammed! (Yes, this is downtown Edmonton on a weekday at lunchtime....) 3. Sorry the wait was so long, but since the food is made to order, it can take a while (My understanding is that this is the way all restaurants work, unless anybody can tell me of a telepathic restaurant where they know what you want to eat before you walk in the door). I simply could not bite my tongue any longer at this lame excuse, and suggested that our order should have been taken quicker than 45 minutes in then. The food was alright, but most certainly not worth the pain of the wait or the service. I'm willing to say that this restaurant appears to be poorly managed - there was only two servers and one cook for a lunchtime rush. Not a manager or supervisor in sight. To the owners of this restaurant: I am very disappointed. I used to go to D.S. MacKenzie, and would go to your southside location all the time for lunch. Please manage your staff better in hygeine (hairnets should be worn in the kitchen for long hair!!!), appearance (I do NOT want to see a servers breasts because her strapless jumper is falling off), and accountability. A shameful excuse of a restaurant. Any diners craving Mexican food downtown, I would highly recommend Tres Carnales - much quicker, tastier, cleaner, and WAY better staff! read more

Food was not too bad - quite authentic, but lacking a real punch. Prices a little high maybe for what it is. More of an issue though - is they don't turn the heat on very high (even after asking them) - and you might be fully freezing during the whole meal. read more

I am so sad to have to give this restaurant such a poor review. I'm from the US and one of the things that I really miss is being able to get good Mexican food pretty easily. I was really excited when I heard about The Three Amigos, and even more excited to find a Groupon. We got in touch with some friends and came in at around 6:00 last Sunday (February 16). We had with us our 5-month-old and 3.5-year-old daughters. We ordered right away, and while we got our drinks immediately and some really delicious homemade tortilla chips, we waited over an hour for our meals (after about 45 minutes the server came to say that our food would be right up). During this time, both of my children had meltdowns, and I had to inhale my food and leave immediately after eating to get them home. My husband stayed with our friends to settle the bill. The Groupon was, unfortunately, on my iPhone, and they weren't able to honour the voucher/barcode I sent to my husband's phone. The food was amazing, which is why it pains me to have to write a bad review. But I also worked many years as a server, both at a chain restaurant and at a small family-owned business, and know what is acceptable service and what is not. I strongly suspect our order was forgotten, and if it was not, I am not sure why it took so long to make. In any case, it seems standard procedure to check in on a table waiting that long for food (especially with kids!), apologize for the wait, and ask if there is anything you can do to make it right (free appetizer, free drinks, maybe a voucher for a future visit). The staff seemed totally oblivious to our frustration (even after I rushed out the door with my kids 3 minutes after receiving my food). Very disappointed. Maybe we'll give them another try (we still have that Groupon...), but I'm not sure I have the energy or patience to do so anytime soon. read more

Tasty food but small portions sizes for the price. I ordered the burrito norteno plate and was surprised when they presented me with 2 small corn tortillas rolled up with a small portion of meat inside and a dusting of shredded lettuce, and as a side a mere 1/2 cup of rice and a 1/4 cup of refried beans. This is not good value for the $20 price for this dish, in my opinion, so order something else if you're hungry. read more

I am crazy about the food here! I haven't been in to the actual restaurant, will have to check it out someday! We order regularly through skip the dishes and are never disappointed, I imagine it would be even more amazing dining in. Lots of gluten free options and it's a lovely option when I don't feel like cooking at home. Yum! read more

This place has ups and downs in regard to the service, we usually go once a year and this time was the best so far. The waiter was Johnny on the spot with the drinks, The tomatillo salsa was perfect, the enchiladas were delicious, everything! This is as authentic as the food I was getting in Mexico, if you want crappy tex mex which is just American food, go to the always disappointing Chilies restaurant read more

It wasn't the best dinning experience. Food was average and they were stingy on the ceviche and mango flan portion. There was only like 3 shrimps on our ceviche and no mango or mango flavor in our flan. Not worth going to this place again. Coming from a latin country, food was average, and service was so-so. I wont be coming here... read more

The Three Amigos - Pupusas, average - Mexican Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

See all

Team E.D. ate here during the summer and it was a positive experience! It felt like eating in a diner in Mexico (I have been there several times) and the food was authentic and home made. Service was very casual, slow...typical of Mexico which added to the experience. No hurry....mañana... The food we ordered was good, fresh, and most of all unlike restaurants in Mexico, didn't make The Team sick! It is a good place to go if you want casual Mexican food in Edmonton that is authentic. read more

I was at The Three Amigoes last night for supper with one of my girlfriends. She sas seated prior to my arrival, after I sat down we waited over 10 minutes for the server(the only one working) to acknowledge us. I had water, my friend ordered ice tea. Another 10 minutes past before our drinks were brought out. My friends "ice tea" was a bottle of Nestea half ice tea half lemonade-for $3.50! Although our server was pleasant the service was so slow. There were 5 tables total including us-as a former server this seems unacceptable. As for the food. We were given complimentary nachos and salsa(super bland). We both had entrees-she had beef tacos and I had something I cannot pronounce but it seemed like two mini chicken burritos-both dishes were served with "retried beans" which seemed like puréed baby food and rich which was extremely buttery. In general the food was bland and the portions were very small. The best part of the meal was dessert. I had a pineapple empanadas for 6.99-again, it was small but at least it tasted good. I wouldn't go back and I wouldn't recommend it to my friends. read more

Margaritas great, food good and very authentic to Mexico not southwestern US Mexican if that is what you are looking for. Atmosphere fun with mariachi player and will definitely return. read more

Great little Mexican spot tucked away in a strip mall. They strive to be authentic and really hit the mark. If you are looking for your typical run of the mill Mexican fast food offerings, then this is not the place for you. Three Amigos offers up fresh made authentic Mexican with great menu items you won't see in other places. Definitely check it out! read more

You want some legit Mexican food hit them up. The blonde server was super nice, very insightful. Some authentic stuff is going on in here. Would recommend the fish tacos. If you want some taco gains look no further. read more

Good meal Authentic. Like the decor since they updated and got rid of the fast food stuff at entrance. read more

Really great food and drinks. Fast service and friendly staff. I will definitely be back, maybe tomorrow. The best Mexican food in Edmonton.

I have been going to this restaurant since it first opened. Its as authentic as it gets. These guys love what they do and they put that love into their food. Best Mexican food around. read more

My husband and I ate here on our anniversary a few months ago. Being a weeknight, we wanted to go some place close to our home. We checked this place out on yelp and decided to give it a go despite the mixed reviews. I can say I was very disappointed. 1. They must have been very short-staffed that day. They had one waitress walking around greeting customers and taking orders. It took about 10 mins before we even received a menu and another 15 minutes after that before the waitress decided to take our order. I hate to raise my hand and grab her attention! 2. Food was horrid. I am not a fussy eater, but the chicken fajitas was bland, no spice on the chicken, tasted old and wasn't hot enough - i could have whipped up better Fajitas at home. 3. Hubby had a piece of hair in his food - not happy!!! I was so turned off Mexican food after eating here. Very disappointed and surprised with some of the positive reviews. We must have gone on a bad night. read more

Tonight we went to Three Amigos based on a review on Avenue Magazine. We started with a round of margueritas, it was a Monday night so they were on special. They were very weak, watered down drinks. Next, we ordered our meals and when the finally came, we didn't recognize them as the ones we had ordered, the waitress had put in the wrong order for one dish, but even so, that dish was not prepared even close to what was described on the menu. We mentioned it to one of the waiters, he stared at us blankly. On to dessert, again, the orders received were not the same as described on the menu (ie if the menu said a dish was served with ice cream it might have come with whipped cream); no explanation for substitutions were provided. The service was incredibly slow but at least our waitress didn't dump a drink on us like the waiter did to someone at the table beside us; so I guess we were pretty lucky read more

Authentic mexican food this is not taco bell taco time or all that bullshit, if you are expecting that kind of fast food don't even bother b caI se this restaurant is authentic mexican just like back home read more

Confused why this place has such good reviews. Food is over priced and definitely not what I would consider authentic Mexican food. Meat in the taco tasted funny, no seasoning, with something hard in it, definitely not appetizing. Chips old and stale, salsa was so odd and came in the smallest dishes I've never seen. Overall, I would definitely not return or recommend. I would rather drive the extra 25 minutes to Tres Carnales. read more

A pretty authentic eatery with good and tasty food. The balance of flavors was great! The festive atmosphere makes for a great sanctuary on a day when ya need a pick me up. Creative and tasty drinks definitely doesn't' t hurt. read more

Waited in line for 45 minutes to get in, waited another 15 minutes for menus, 30 minutes for drinks, and an hour for the food, which was bland and second rate compared to most authentic mexican restaurants. The waitress, who resembled snooki from jersey shore (as if that wasn't bad enough) was rude and could care less about our complaints about service, food quality and time. All three owners we're working and seemed to think angry customers were funny. This business will not last, can you give a negative star rating??? read more
