Tipicos Los Amigos

"I had coffee and flan at Tipicos Los Amigos a month ago before my weekly standing pool game at First Break, a few steps away and decided to make it a point to return for dinner sometime soon after that. This past Saturday, October 21, I dropped in at 9:00 PM, ordering Chicken Fajitas, which comes with beans, rice, guacamole, flour tortillas and Pico de Gallo. While waiting for my entree order I enjoyed corn chips, curtido, Corona Beer, black coffee and flan for dessert. Ingredients were universally fresh and delicious in all dishes. I especially appreciate the thin corn chips TLA serves with salsa. When I was seated, I noted that the restaurant was at capacity and clearly serving the diaspora. This is a very good sign, indicating to me the cuisine is likely to be authentic and delicious. The restaurant is a well oiled machine. The floor was covered with servers who all appeared engaging and attentive to diners. There were at least four servers, and the hostess was also active interacting with the guests. My Spanish is limited, so my server was patient and kind while working to relate my request to the kitchen to char the vegetables in my Fajita order. I resorted to using the translation app I have and she was off to the kitchen. Returning it was apparent that the chef was not comfortable with the concept so I promptly abandoned the request. I ended up boxing the Fajitas, enjoying everything else, and Sunday morning separated the chicken and vegetables, charred the vegetables in my cast iron skillet, adding the chicken back in near finish to heat the chicken and enjoyed my made to order Fajitas for breakfast. On my next visit, I am going to order tamales."

"If Karen is your server you’ll feel like you’re at home! She is lovely, attentive, and quick with salsa refills! Food is comforting Tex Mex. We came with the family for our weekly Wednesday dinner and we’ll be back for karaoke night and salsa dancing! Thanks to my brother in law Joseph for bringing us."

"I order shrimp and steak tacos for dinner. The service was prompt and friendly. My server didn't speak English which wasn't an issue for me. The other server did speak English but I didn't need her as I have enough command of Spanish for dining purposes. The foods was delicious. I appreciated the flavors and home made tortillas. The chips and salsa were delicious and soft was the horchata. My entire meal before tip was around $18. A good value. The only thing I am dinging the place for was that the music was just too loud for me. Others might enjoy it."

"Wao this place really surprise me. The food was really good. I order two pupusas one of beans and cheese and one of pupusa Loca both were reallyyyyy good. My friend got the Mondogo soap and she love it. She was really happy because the soap was really tasty. The girl that took care of us was Samantha she was friendly and the place was pack. The price for the pupusas was not bad."

"The worst Service ever!! I work in the Industry and I have never see this kind of Display. Everyone was on there phone. We were sitting for a long long while before anyone gave us a menu! There is no prices on the drink menu which mean they can charge anyone anything. Happy hour bucket for 6 beers is 24 dollars. That’s some DC pricing. Food was really good but omg I would never go back because of the staff and zero pricing on drinks."
