El Amigo Mexican Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Kannapolis - 1776 S Cannon Blvd, USA

This might just be the worst white washed Mexican food I’ve ever had. These enchiladas look like a children’s pizza at elementary school. The sauce is unseasoned, does not come with rice or beans. The aren’t filled much and just soggy, so soggy. This and the queso fundido are all I had here in fairness but even that was atrocious. They give you that with NOTHING, what am I supposed to eat it like a soup? Just wild. I have a 10-hour ride back home in which I’m gonna pass countless reminders of food options that all remind me of what a terrible choice I made here today. Service was fine no problems there but wow food was like school cafeteria level no effort. Wouldn’t go near this if you’ve ever actually had an Mexican food before I guarantee disappointment. Prices are great but get what you pay for I guess.

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 it was very good and I felt the buzz. The food was good and seasoned. I ordered the fajitas that had chorizo, steak and chicken. Very flavorful and great portion of meat. My husband ordered the fajita nachos, he loved it but said the cheese sauce was very watery which gives it a 4/5. Great and clean atmosphere and service was great! Highly recommend!

Superb maxican restaurant around this area. Spacious and quick service. Food was nice and tasty

My wife and I went there today with some friends and she had a California burrito which is absolutely excellent. I would highly recommend it. APC with chicken was also good. I had the combination plate and it was good but not very filling. Service was good. Restaurant is clean. Bathrooms are also clean will go back for sure.

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 it takes to get there. Service was fantastic, food was delicious. Texas fajitas weren’t over cooked, and were seasoned just right. There is plenty of seating so you don’t feel cramped, and everything seemed extremely clean. I Will definitely be back.

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 there herself. I mean stellar customer service. Waitress was great as well. Fast service. And the food was super authentic! El Amigo is topped our cuisine list.

Ive never had seafood fajitas and let me tell you it was sooooo good . Boderline euphoric with my picture of margarita. Also had the elote and 3 el pastor street tacos and those were amazing as well. We will definitely be back.

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 were definitely better. I really enjoyed the poblano. The salsa and queso were super flavorful and that’s one of the things I scrutinize the most. I did not order a margarita but I heard they have the best ones around. The service was good, the restaurant was clean. The amount of food for the price was unbeatable. I’ll be back for sure. Also if you’re wondering, they serve Pepsi products.
