26 years and counting!

This restaurant has been serving up fajitas and burritos in Prince George for 26 years. Such a long run of success must be attributed to its quality food. The food was hot, and served in less than 10 minutes... I was the only person in the restaurant at 2:30 which explains such quick service. The decor has a tacky Mexican feel. I appreciated it for what it is because I think the tackiness of it is partly the point. The only thing missing was hot weather.

Have you ever watched kitchen Nightmares? Me too! I have learned from that show and take many things into consideration when eating out on the town. Unfortunately this place cooks with multiple microwaves! I should of left then when I saw the head chef was plugged into the wall, but unfortunately I didn't, and when it came time to pay I immediately felt ripped off. It didn't seem to bother the... more

This is not authentic mexican food by any stretch of the imagination, however it was decent and a nice change from chain mexican food restaurants.

Mexican food? or just "food
January 18, 2014

People who refer to this as Mexican should really find out what Mexican is all about.
I'll give you a hint, its not meat with "taco seasoning" that sits in a warming tray, layered with veggies and cheddar cheese, popped in a microwave to steam then served with a side of tator totts, layered with more cheese and awful salsa.... more

From Prince Gastronome

I originally had a craving for Sushi but I figured I would give Mexican another chance. Third time’s the charm I guess. After several false starts, I've finally arrived at Amigo’s Taco Shop. I'll admit this will be one of the easiest reviews to make, and it’s a Saturday, so perhaps that's to be expected.

Amigo's is so simple; it's practically written in Basic... more

New location... Same food
July 22, 2013

Lived in El Paso for many years and have a fairly good opinion of well seasoned authentic Mexican food. Didn't receive it here. I tried their other location after moving to PG a number of years back and was so turned off by the bland food and how everything was either reheated or finished off in the microwave that I... more

We had lunch here. The food was served quickly and was good as expected. Hadn't eaten here for several year and decide to try again when we were passing through town. We were not disappointed.

It says 2 for 1 very misleading
February 23, 2013

Taco Tuesdays says 2 for 1 but actually they charge you for both just for a Lilttle discount, so it is misleading. But I do like the tacos but they could use better spices and beef so it could taste like home made tacos...that would be great.

Quick Lunch
February 23, 2013

Went here for a quick lunch and was very happy I did so. Maybe not exactly authentic Mexican food but none the less still good. I really like the idea of a special which includes a drink all for one price. I like the decor.

Not so mexican
July 09, 2012

Craving mexican food and having heard of this "authentic mexican" food place in town I decided to try it out. Food was heated in microwave, far from authentic flavour my friend an I ate our meal just so It wouldn´t go to waste. Will never go back or recommended to anybody else. Better stay home and make homemade tacos!

If you love tacos then you come to Amigos Tacos. It is fresh, made as you order it and always delicious. Not as cheap as taco time or taco bell but much fresher and better. Usually a big line up at lunch so get there early or a little later like closer to 1:00 pm

Canadian-Mexican
December 08, 2011

There's not much Mexican going on here, but it does have some average 'Canadianized' Mexican food. (You know, the tacos and burritos you would make at home with the family, ground beef tacos, jarred salsa, etc). Don't get me wrong, the food's not bad, and the service is great, the staff are wonderful, but don't come here expecting traditional Mexican... more

Quick and consistently good lunches
October 19, 2011

Amigo's Taco Shop is a small, independently owned restaurant with a booming lunch business. There are times when there are line-ups out the door, so it can be good to get there a couple of minutes before 12. Service is always really friendly and the food is good and relatively inexpensive. This is not high-end Mexican but if you're looking... more

Vote! Best tacos in town, state. There isn't a large number
of small

restaurants in B.C. dedicated to tacos, but this is one of them.

I must say the food was delicious and cheap to boot! I would call

this a must go to restaurant if you want something cheap AND good.

Don't miss out on this opportunity if you happen to be passing

by town. Go now!
