Amigos — Restaurant in Municipality of Glyfada

I grew up in Texas (famous for Tex-mex and authentic Mexican food) and have travelled often to local areas of Mexico. So I know how authentic Mexican cuisine tastes. This place came highly recommended but sadly fell short as they don‘t have authentic Mexican food and margaritas. For food we had the Guacamole, Salsa sampler and Chicken fajitas to drink we each had a classic lime margarita on the rocks.

The guacamole didn’t taste fresh and had an off taste, as though it was prepared earlier and had some preservatives. The chicken fajitas, although beautifully presented in a sizzling skillet, fell flat. The bell peppers and onions were still nearly raw (compared to in Mexico where they are seared black), and the chicken tasted like frozen chicken strips. There was none of the savory seasoning that you‘d normally look forward to when eating fajitas (i.e. cumin, garlic, black pepper and salt) but rather a bland tomato sauce. Price was 21,50€. Salsa sampler was good, although one of the salsas had cheese or dairy in it? Strange.

The lime margaritas on the rock also left much to be desired. They came immediately after ordering, evidently was a prepared mix rather than freshly made and shaken and tasted of cheap ingredients such as sprite. Considering they are 10,60€ each, that is disappointing.

Service was okay - they said there was no space left to sit in the garden. Although there were about 20 tables free on either side. But that was okay.

Ambience is nice, with nice music and nice interior design.

We saw a lot of people ordered drinks and loaded nachos. So if you’re looking for an average meal, service and drinks with a nice atmosphere then this...

Ever felt like you walked into a restaurant and somehow ended up in someone’s home — not just seated, but welcomed?

If you haven’t, let Amigos in Glyfada show you what that feels like.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: Mexican food? In Greece? It doesn’t seem like the obvious choice. But food — real food, the kind that stirs something in you — isn’t always about logic. It’s about heart. And that’s exactly what Amigos is all about.

From the moment you walk in, there’s something different. Aris, the soul behind the place, and his dream team don’t just serve you a meal. They share a story, a feeling, an atmosphere that wraps around you like a warm evening breeze in Oaxaca. You’re not a customer here. You’re a guest, a friend — una parte de la familia.

The food? It speaks for itself. Bold, vibrant, unapologetically authentic. But to focus only on the dishes would be missing the point. It’s the experience that makes Amigos unforgettable — the laughter, the music, the clink of tequila glasses, and yes, that story about the garden. Don’t leave without hearing it. It’s a moment that touches you deeper than you’d expect from a restaurant visit.

I’ve felt the same warmth at their Nea Smyrni location too, but Glyfada has its own magic. Maybe it’s the people. Maybe it’s Aris. Maybe it’s the tequila. Actually, scratch that — it’s all of it.

So if you’re looking for more than a meal — if you’re craving connection, joy, and a little taste of Mexico with a Greek soul — go to Amigos Glyfada. Let yourself be surprised.

And if your heart doesn’t feel full… maybe you just need another...

Came here for a dinner with wife and wanted to go inside, but a hostess closed the entrance and just stared at us for about 3 seconds, without saying a word. And no, we don't look like homeless. Finally my wife said: "Hello? Can we sit inside?". She spitted out: "Hello. Inside or outside?" (whut?🤷). This is how they welcome their guests it seems.. During the evening we were approached by four different waiters, no one has bage with the name and every other didn't know what we told to the previous one. Complete chaos. They seem to be running around the tables with no system at all. Right after the order we got receipt on our table, no one even asked if we probably would like to have something else. It seems they were so eager to get the money and get rid of us (why?). Tequila was brought in the glass for whiskey, with ice (!!!) May be guys if you call yourself a "Mexican restaurant", you should read a bit on how to serve tequila properly? On the photo it is the second attempt of barman, when he finally got me. He definitely was not happy though. Quinoacado salad, burrito and chimichanga were just OK, can not say anything more here. To conclude: cuisine is probably OK, but personnel behavior is just creepy and...
