Stopped in for a quick lunch on a Monday and they were really busy but got me in and out in a hurry. The service was super fast and friendly. The complimentary chips and salsa weee still warm and the chips were thick but had a rapier good flavor. I had the fiesta enchiladas and they were really good. The rice was moist and the refried beans were nice and creamy. Great Job!! read more

This city doesn't deserve this amazing authentic Mexican restaurant! After living in the desert southwest for 15 years it's hard to find good authentic Mexican food and Three Amigos represents fully. Moved to Florida 3 years ago and haven't had anything but Tex-Mex there. It was great to sink my teeth into a wonderful Carne Asada steak seasoned perfectly. This is one of the best restaurants in town! read more

We were in town for a sporting event and looking for a good place to eat. Seeing so many good reviews for this restaurant we decided to give it a try. There were two other couples in the entire restaurant and we were seated in the far back corner where the smell of sewer seemed to be all around us. The place was very dark, the wallpaper was peeling off the wall, and the music was some sort of 1970s Spanish cover bands. We had CCR, the Eagles, and Journey to accompany us with this odd decor. Not necessarily bad, but it wasn't vibing with the atmosphere. The prices were astronomical, especially when we saw what we got. A burrito with shredded cheddar cost somewhere around 14.99. Two tiny enchiladas with some rice and beans cost 13.99. But a MASSIVE appetizer with tons of tasty options cost 15.99. The margaritas tasted of some chemical, perhaps residual detergent? They came in plastic glasses that had burn marks on them and other questionable substances. The ONE saving grace of this experience was the actual food. The food did taste good. We come to this area every year and I can tell you we will not return to this restaurant. For five people we spent nearly $100 for this experience. We spent far less at other local restaurants with much higher quality and ambiance. read more

Stopped by for lunch as we were driving through town. Food came hot, quick and was very tasty. Decent place to stop when you want a good, hot meal! The enchiladas are worth ordering. Service was excellent. read more

We come here all the time, but probably not again. Called ahead to see how late they were open, said they were closing at 7. Arrived at 5:50, got sat, told them we were waiting on two more ppl. served drinks and then told we need to leave because they are closing at 6. Our friends arrived as they were telling us to leave. We paid for our drinks and left. They easily missed out on over a $100 in sales read more

Good food friendly service nice big margaritas Casual atmosphere. Good for casual Mexican read more

Great Molcajete!! Good margaritas too... Can't remember what the Mrs had but she says that it was very good as well. The Molcajete has Shrimp, Steak, Chicken, Chorizo as well as mushrooms, cheese, and other assorted spicy stuff!! The only knock on the night was their issues at billing my debit card... They tried over 20 times and got the card blocked. Had to resolve the issue with the Fraud Center and my Credit Union. Still good scores on the food and the rest of the service. read more

I'm from out of town and stumbled upon this restaurant based off Yelp reviews. All the GOOD reviews did not lie! The food here is amazing! I had the trio fajitas w/ rice & beans. My friends both had different kinds of burritos. The burritos are huge! Definitely enough for 2 servings. The wait staff were friendly and polite. If you're in the area and looking for something tasty, THIS IS YOUR ANSWER! Thank me later :) read more

Three Amigos Family Restaurant - Chimichanga & chalupa - Mexican Near Me - Waterloo, Iowa

Absolutely authentic - absolutely terrific. Full disclosure: we lived in Texas for 18 years and are Mexican Food "snobs". Until we found this gem, we were always a bit disappointed in the Cedar Valley Mexican options. This is the REAL thing. Fresh, hot, FULL of flavor. The carne asada steak and the deep fried bacon wrapped shrimp are incredible. We are so excited to find this spectacular Mexican restaurant. Most HIGHLY recommended! read more

I had the chicken quesadilla from the lunch menu. It was very good . I ordered it without beans and it came as ordered. The service was great!! read more

The carne asada plate was delicious recommended by the waiter. Overall it's a great experience at this restaurant!

We are lucky to have a number of great Mexican restaurants in CF/Wloo, but here is the only place you can find Molcajetes, Michaeladas, or dishes like the Amigo Especial, which I highly recommend. The carne asada is so tender and flavorful, the scallops and shrimp so rich and buttery. Ask for the spicy green salsa and come hungry, my friends. Super friendly and fast service, fun atmosphere. This is my new favorite restaurant. read more

I tried Three Amigos while in town on business. It was late and they were closing within 30 minutes. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. I tried the fish tacos and they were spectacular. I will be back. read more

Best Mexican food I have had in years. This will be my new go to. The chili rellenos are fantastic as are the taco calle. I asked for hotter salsa and actually was brought perfect salsa. My brother had the chorizo nachos they too were done perfectly. A friend hand tamales and I bought extra to bring home. . read more

I go here often for the veggie fajitas. The location is big and comfortable and so are the portion sizes. It's a little off the beaten path so it's hard to find unless you know what you're looking for but it is worth seeking out! read more

Excellent first visit! We will be back! Good food, good service, good prices. Food was out promptly right after we ordered. Order was correct and everything was hot and fresh. The decried beans were obviously homemade. The meat was seasoned perfectly and not too salty. The staff checked on us often, refilled our drinks and chips. The decor is simple. I'm not a fan of carpets in restaurants but in no way would I say the place was dirty. It was well cared for. You can tell they take pride in their service and food. For a combination plate, enchilada plate, kids meal, side of cheese sauce and 3 sodas it was $29. Great deal. If you are looking for authentic Mexican and want to support local businesses, give this place a try! read more

2nd time eating here, I'm more of an authentic Mexican food fan, and this place is great. The cheese dip is awesome, great salsa that has flavor and some spice, but still mild. Burritos are very good, I need to try the tamales next time I'm in town. Service is pretty good as well, though I haven't been here when it's packed. In my opinion, it should be! read more

Was looking for a little Mexican food and this came up. Didn't really expect much being called a family restaurant but was pleasantly surprised. It's a nice clean place with super friendly staff. La comida es deliciosa y se obtiene mucho. This will be one of our go tos when in Waterloo. read more

Please be cautious going to this restaurant!! Went last night with a friend and the male server was touching my neck and sat down in the booth and started rubbing my leg. I had to physically remove his hand from my leg. He was also pushing us to do shots of tequila. He then allowed 2 of his friends to follow my friend and I downstairs when we went to the restroom and they were asking us to party with them. Luckily I had a bad feeling walking downstairs and had called my husband to talk to him and let him know what was going on. BE AWARE!!! read more

The fajitas were good but only 3 tortillas and the nachos were horrible the chips were fuzed to the chips not good at all.

First, this isn't a fast food place. The service is good, but it's not like there are five items on the menu, and that's it. As the name indicates, it's a family style Mexican Restaurant, not too far from Rudy's (which is another good Mexican Restaurant, but with a different atmosphere). Came to this restaurant over Labor day weekend. I had the steak fajitas, my wife had the steak quesadilla, and my daughter had chicken tacos. We didn't actually see chicken tacos listed, but my daughter thought they were great. Their menu is pretty broad, so you can probably get whatever you'd like. Serving size was generous, as is typical in most Mexican restaurants. The sodas were huge, and we probably could have gotten refills, but didn't need them. The food tasted great. I personally like to have some refried beans with the rice, and theirs was excellent together. If I remember right, they said there food isn't spicy hot, that if you want it that way, they do serve it with hot sauce on the side. But I was ordering steak fajitas, so didn't really go there for the spices. Overall, a good Mexican restaurant, I'm sure we'll be back. read more

First time in. We have had quite a few people say how much they enjoyed The 3 Amigos and it was just as we heard. Food was good with the portions being very generous! I had a burrito that covered my plate. Our waiter was awesome. Very attentive without being annoying. He was right on top of things. I pay close attention to how clean a place is and The 3 Amigos is very clean. If you want an authentic Mexican restaurant this is the place to come. read more
