Reviews for El Amigo Mexican Restaurant in Kannapolis, NC

I always have a pleasant dining experience when going there. My servers are always so kind and efficient. Mac was the last... gentleman to serve us there, and he's the best. Not to mention, the food is exceptional every single time. It has been myfavorite Mexican restaurant for the last year while living so close to Kannapolis, NC. You won't regret dining here!

Fantastic all around. Our service was lightning-fast, our food arrived hot and delicious, and the salsa is great. Add to that... a good beer menu and servers who appeared to be genuinely enjoying their jobs, just a great dining experience. Highlyrecommend. Read more

Great food from a large and varied menu, large portions, and friendly staff! I?ve been coming here for over twenty years! ... There is a reason why the parking lot is always full. Come see why El Amigo can be ?your friend? today! Read more

The quality of the food here is better than most in the area. Prep times are not unreasonable. Call ahead before ordering... tomales, they sell out often. Twice now, I've ordered entrées they didn't have available, both times they called and we wereable to work it out. I hope they stay in business as long as I own a home nearby. Read more

Having been living in Kannapolis since 2007 I am very familiar with the quality of El Amigo, however, after todays dinner I can... assure you that the quality has significantly degraded. When ordering to go in the past they packaged meals in an aluminumcontainer with a plastic lid. This is vital to excellent Mexican food as it quickly becomes cold and compromises it?s taste, asit has today. Additionally, when ordering a California burrito and asking for the guac on the side 3 times on the phoneemphasizing the point, they completely forgot to provide the side of quac. The chips are from a different distributor of lessquality in addition to them being cold. The salsa has too much jalapeño, I am very familiar with the usual taste. Thanks ElAmigo for making my dog Dakota enjoy her dinner. Read more

From the moment we walked in it was a great experience. The hostess was warm and friendly. She saw that I am pregnant (9 months... belly is huge) she sat as at a booth I could fit in. She was very considerate. I asked where the restroom was she asked me thereherself. I mean stellar customer service. Waitress was great as well. Fast service. And the food was super authentic! El Amigois topped our cuisine list. Read more

An issue I run into with Mexican restaurants is that they all seem to taste the same. I see this especially with combo plates. I... ordered a combo plate here the other night, and while some of the items tasted the same as other restaurants some weredefinitely better. I really enjoyed the poblano. The salsa and queso were super flavorful and that?s one of the things Iscrutinize the most. I did not order a margarita but I heard they have the best ones around. The service was good, therestaurant was clean. The amount of food for the price was unbeatable. I?ll be back for sure. Also if you?re wondering, theyserve Pepsi products. Read more

Yo... amazing. Best margaritas, we had the mango pitcher. The California burrito is top notch. For kids?... a great selection of... food. Ask for the SPICY salsa and ride that capsasin until your food comes out! Our waitress was so friendly and fun. Bring thefamily! This place is popular so don?t be surprised at a little bit of a wait!
