Amigos

For fast food this is pretty tasty stuff. The bean burritos are no joke and the steak rice bowl was very good for the low prices. Best of all are the King’s Classic frenchies sold here. They’re fried to perfection and come with pickles, like the world’s most perfect bar food (just not in a bar). I’m still a bigger fan of Don & Millie’s frenchie but theirs is a very, very close second. At this location, which is extremely dated but clean, we found very friendly service from all staff. The only odd thing for me was trying to bus my own table because the staff clean up and mints brought to the table wasn’t expected at all. They have a really nice salsa bar too. I wasn’t crazy about the tiny water cups but can’t complain when they’re free! This is just blocks from the Hastings Museum by the way, for visitors who may be interested in a cheap & quick yet decent meal.

omg. i still crave amigos. amigos was the best EVER back in the 90’s…i still crave the beef soft taco & NACHOS!!! oh my goodness. I like to think about the days of mixing all the sodas from the fountain… then to the days of skipping school with friends and driving to amigos. hahaha

I wouldn’t usually bother writing about fast-​food unless it was pretty damn good.
This is an Amigos/​Kings Classic, and I guess I haven’t been by in a while because I was underwhelmed with the burger-​side of things in the past. But I really did miss their Mexican. They had a deal on a $ 3.99 enchilada platter – the steak enchilada came with a great creamy sauce, and side of rice, beans and lettuce with really fresh tomatoes. And if you go into a Mexican fast-​food joint and there are customers who are speaking Spanish, they must be doing something right (of course the 5 year-​old Latina in the party ordered a hamburger). Staff will bring the food to your table, and later come by with complimentary mints or lollipops (which impressed the little girl). They even bus the tables at this place.
The experience left me happy and willing to come back soon to try a deluxe burger and a shake.
