El Amigo

"First time in LA and I ate at El Amigo’s. The green enchiladas were delicious. The salsa (has a spicy kick) and fresh chips added to the 5 star rating. Staff was nice and this place has a cozy atmosphere."

"Just stopped here for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The place is tiny bit mighty! I was going to take pictures of the food before we started eating, but it smelled so good I forgot! The cabeza tacos were super authentic, reminded me of the cabeza my dad used to make in the backyard pit when I was a kid... The chips were cuspy,thick and warm, the salsa was good but not hot so we asked for the hotter stuff - it did not disappoint! The shreddded beef Taco was crispy, filled with tasty beef and nice and hot! If you're in the area and want something hot, yummy, and authentic Mexican, this is the place!"

"We ate there and they brought chips and salsa to the table. The salsa was so good we ordered some to go. The tostada was meaty and so heavily topped that I'd consider it to come with a salad. The Birra quesadilla is tender and delicious... my favorite was the carne asada fries... I poured the salsa on top of it... if I'm in the area I'll be back."

"Checked out this place for the 1st time. It is one where you order and then sit down. They brought chips and salsa right away. The food came out shortly after. My wife ordered the green chile verde burrito that was pretty good. I ordered the two taco plate with rice & beans. The shredded beef tacos were good, but everything seemed to lack flavor, including the rice and beans. The cheese on the beans or tacos was cold shredded cheese, not melted. I don't know how this place has such a high score, and the food lacks an extra touch of love and flavor. It was pretty basic to me, and service was just OK. I honestly can't say it was great."

"From the outside I had no idea that there was this much room inside for seating. Don't be afraid to stop and eat there. Plenty of space and really good Mexican food. The Birria tacos looked delicious but I had the three tacos with rice and beans. I watched a fish dish being taken to a table and wished I had ordered that too. Crispy giant fish on a plate. They also had Mexican Coca-Cola. So much better than what we have here. Down the street from work so I'll be coming back for a taco here and there for sure."
