The ever prevailing question for me when I visit a New Mexican restaurant is always: Do they have lunch/cheap Texas fajitas? Yes, El Amigo does have them. If you’re traveling on i85 passing through concord, it’s a bit off the path but definitely worth the few minutes...Read More

Ordered a couple tacos to go. Very good. Referred to this place by a Hispanic acquaintance. They said it was very authentic. This place was very clean, appeared to be a family friendly place, sit down booths and tables. Definitely recommend.

I’m gonna start with the margarita! It’s the first thing I order when I come to a Mexican restaurant and it also determines if I’m gonna order food! So I ordered the house Margarita and that gets a 5/5. For it to be a house...Read More

Easily the best Mexican restaurant I've ate at in the Charlotte area. The food was fresh and the quality was on point. And the prices are also really good. I'd definitely recommend trying this restaurant at least once. Will definitely come back soon!
