"My partner and I stopped into Amigos last night for dinner and as per usual, the food and service where phenomenal! For drinks, I started off with their Paloma and my partner gave their Mojito a go"
"We decided to try Amigos after leaving Supercrawl"
"Not sure if I get the hype"
"After a busy morning in Hamilton, my friends and I drove around looking for a nice place to eat- and came across Amigos! An incredibly pleasant ambience with very professional and sincere staff, we really enjoyed! The soya-chicken tacos and soya-chicken nachos were the most incredible I've ever eaten! We devoured everything with big smiles on our faces and had nothing but good things to say afterwards"
"This restaurant is a joke"
My partner and I stopped into Amigos last night for dinner and as per usual, the food and service where phenomenal! For drinks, I started off with their Paloma and my partner gave their Mojito a go. Both cocktails were beautifully crafted and although I am not typically a fan of Mojito's, I had a taste of my partners and HOLY HECK was it good! I will 100% be ordering my own next time. For dinner I ordered one of their chicken tacos and one of their fish tacos. Both were packed with incredible flavor and ingredients. They fill their tacos very well so not only are you getting your money's worth but I find them filling. Unlike some establishments where you're paying $7+ for a bougie taco that looks like it was crafted to feed a small infant. My partner ordered one their wraps which he found delicious and perfectly filling as well. To end the meal, we obviously had to go with their traditional churros! Always a favourite when I get that sweet tooth craving. In regards to the service, the staff where very much on top of their game. Incredibly polite, friendly and always checking in on their guests. But not so much that it becomes annoying. The atmosphere of Amigos is fun, colorful and matches their brand. 10/10 Highly recommend if you aren't already familiar with this hot spot!

We decided to try Amigos after leaving Supercrawl. We all agree that it's some of the best Tex-Mex we've ever had. We all got different items and we were all more than happy. The birria jus that came with those tacos was out of this world and the shrimp taco was a chef's kiss. Our kid was happy that they had plain corn shell tacos with basic ingredients. The never-ending nachos appetizer was expected but the green and red salsas were fantastic. When it came to service, every single staff member was friendly, helpful and went over and above for us without it feeling forced. It was like being at a friend's house for supper. I cannot recommend this place enough. You'll just have to go to see for yourself.

I'm not vegetarian but I enjoy plant-based options. The jackfruit taco had the texture of actual pulled pork or chicken and was delicious.
Kid-friendliness
We brought our 11 yo with us and it was easy to find something on the menu for a picky eater. The staff were friendly and welcoming to our family.
Not sure if I get the hype. The food and experience weren’t BAD, but I think there was so much more to expect and we were thoroughly let down. Queso just wasn’t anything special at all, and this seemed to be a common theme throughout the meal. The chips were over fried, which could’ve been looked past if there wasn’t an absurd amount given considering the tiny portion of queso. As for the main dishes, the ground beef in the crunch wrapo supremeo seemed under seasoned and overall underwhelming. It was just so plain, I’m wondering why this dish was called famous on their menu. You could probably find better quality and portions of everything on the menu elsewhere. Just so average.

Soya-chicken tacos were amazing! Cooked well and tasted so good!
This restaurant is a joke. If you wanna waste money and get ripped off well you are going to the right place. If you are reading this review you are most likely googling Mexican restaurants nearby with good review am I right? I read some negative reviews on how the portion of the food is small and not really getting what you are paying for, so the other reviews for this restaurant is accurate. Nothing special here aside for a good stroll in a small alley. Waitress wants to make a little bit more tip for a small order so she decided to charge $2 OPEN FOOD for extra Caramel sauce and by the way its not even a real caramel sauce. Churros was a size of a sharpie to give you a better sense of that photo. Over all disappointing.
Cute small restaurant in the heart of Hess Village with indoor and outdoor seating. Tex-Mex style tacos, not authentic Mexican tacos (if that is what you are expecting). Really enjoyed the Spicy Margarita. Tried 3 tacos - Fish Taco, Ground Beef and Brussels Sprouts. Fish Taco - good, probably my favourite one and fish had a nice crispy batter. Ground Beef - least favourite, lack of flavour and not enough beef Brussels Sprouts - brussels cooked perfectly, however it was a little bland as well Overall, it was okay and would make good drunk food.

Was my first time there, was Not impressed. Ordered food for pick up, it wasn't ready on time, debit machine did not fully work, when we got home, all food was dead cold. My portions were tiny - ordered 2 tacos and corn app. Smallest cob I've ever seen. My partner had the crunchy wrap supreme, wrap was a good portion, but his side was tiny. I paid more than my partner by a small amount. Food tasted ok. Overall very disappointed. Would have gladly waited longer for at least hot food and a good portion of food. I'm going to have to make something to top this up now.
Absolutely wonderful atmosphere! The vibe was going as soon as we walked in and continued well into the trip home. We split three tacos all together between two people; wanting to try all the vegetarian/vegan options! Service was impeccable. I couldnt have asked for a more upbeat and positive experience from hosts/bartenders and the chefs. Thank you so much for the extra special treat at the end of our time there. We really appreciated it and it secured a spot in our hearts.

This place is more bar than a restaurant. The food isn't authentic Mexican. They offer no steak, just shredded beef, ground beef, shrimp, and chicken. We ordered 4 entrees and chips. We got charged $4 for the chips and 3 for the cup of salsa. The only dish that had some cilantro was a chicken bowl that didn't have more than 5 little pieces of dry chicken (the cilantro was brown weathered dry). Our check was about $120 with no alcoholic beverages. Would I try for drinks? Maybe. Would I come again for food? Definitely not.
Truly upset it took me so long to finally visit here! Immaculate service even for how busy it was. The birria tacos were fantastic along with the jackfruit and pork tacos! Great outdoor space to eat and the inside has a great vibe to it, especially with the open kitchen. All around just superb service!

Visited during a long weekend evening. They do not take reservations. The food was good, but compared to prices, it gets 4 stars. The place is small. We went there as a group of 8, but the experience may have been better if it was a smaller group. They can convert most of the food options to make it vegetarian. That was a plus.

Fries Supreme
Really enjoyed my margarita! I tried all three available vegetarian tacos: jackfruit, brussels sprout, and soy chick'n (pictured left to right). The brussel sprout one was probably my favorite. They were not amazing tacos, but they were not bad! Amigos has a nice porch for dining in the sun! The indoor bar/dining area is also a good vibe, though a bit loud.

I'm not from Mexico but I'm Latina and we've already been to Mexican food places in Hamilton and I can say that this has been one of the best, delicious food and good portions. 6 churros for $11 dollars can you believe it…delicious and cheap!!

It definitely wasn’t the best tacos I’ve ever had. The portions were small and didn’t have much flavor/contents inside. I really wanted to try the Birria Tacos and churros but they were all out of both... I would give them another change to go back again and try those. The service was nice, atmosphere is really trendy and the drinks are nice (pretty looking) and strong!
Everything was excellent when we came for our anniversary. Love the location and ambiance. We were able to sit on the patio, which was perfect. Highly suggest if you are looking for a good taco and cocktail bar.

The positives are friendly staff and cocktails were good. The birria tacos were a bit burnt but taste was good. The Al pastor tacos were too salty for our liking. Nice patio and setting except for the loud hard rock music playing, it felt out of place. More

Amigos is one of my go-to spots in Hamilton. I’ve been many times, trying new food or drinks on the menu each time and loving everything. Truly authentic Mexican food! 10/10 recommend! More
