Casa Amigos Cantina — Restaurant in Medicine Hat

So we went on what I can only describe as an "off" night for this group. From what I gathered, there was a 20 top inside, a server injured themselves and had to leave during the rush, and possibly some computer issues. Because of this confluence of events that I'm sure don't normally happen here all at once, the food was slow.

That being said though, the servers were incredible, hustled like you wouldn't believe, and did everything in their power to make sure we had a good meal. The bar worked super quickly given how busy they were, the drinks were delightful, the staff was SO nice, and when the food finally did arrive it was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially if this is how they perform under pressure. We all have off nights, where if it can go bad it will, and I was so impressed with how this group handled themselves when it happened to them.

The only criticism I have is not enough to remove a star, but I would like them to reconsider their policy of not allowing people to reserve for the patio. Unfortunately some people in my group last night deal with immune issues, and getting onto the patio was make or break in whether or not we'd be able to go to this restaurant. Luckily we were able to snag a table out there, and had a great time because of it, but if the patio was full we might have had to leave. As the organizer it did cause me some stress, really wanting to come to this spot but not having it guaranteed that we could. The staff was lovely about my multiple phone calls though, and it all worked out great in the end! But just something to consider.

Overall great food, great drinks, a great time and I'll...

There’s a new mexi place in town and it’s shaping up to be THE spot to hang out.

Only a week and a bit old but smooth customer service already. I came in off the street not knowing what to expect. I was happy to see televisions up on the wall with both sets of playoff games showing. Sat down, was greeted quickly with a menu and my drink order was taken: “yes, Pepsi is okay, I have no choice!”.

The menu was fairly packed with food selection on one side and a plethora of drink options on the other. I hesitated when I saw the $12 chips and guacamole as typically you pay too much and are never happy but that wasn’t the case at Casa Amigos! I felt like I was actually at my friend’s place and being served homemade guacamole…with NO cilantro! Praise baby Jesus!

The chips and guac filled me up quite well and I hung around to watch the games. As soon as my drink dipped low enough, the very nice bartender popped over and offered to top it up. I watched several different demographics of customers pop in and out during my stay, letting me know that this place will only get better with time and will probably become my new favourite spot in Medicine Hat.

Their menu is growing and I’m sure they’ll be open to suggestions as they develop unique dishes. Highly...

Very BLAND food, no flavor at all. I really don't get all of the good reviews praising the food, obviously these people have not had any good Mexican food before. I took my wife and son there one day for an early supper to try a new restaurant. We were the only people in there, the servers were very polite and the atmosphere was ok. Mexican food is our favorite and we were very disappointed in flavor and quality of the food. I had a chicken burrito, it was so bland no flavor at all. I could only see chicken in my burrito and nothing else really. My wife got some tacos and she didn't even come close to finishing, it just wasn't good. I'm wondering if this restaurant knows what cilantro is or any other spices to put in their food. We got guacamole as a starter, got a ton of chips but very little guacamole the ratio is not ideal. Guacamole was okay but nothing you couldn't match for flavor when you buy it from a grocery store. Maybe I should send them my wife's guacamole recipe LOL. To sum this up, if you like Mexican food...
