Amigo Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in East Ridge

I decided to update my review. First let me start by saying, as long as you dine in. Everything is great. The service, the food and as always...the drinks. I stopped going in due to the loud atmosphere. I really hated to stop going in bc it just doesn't give the same feel as grabbing it to go. Plus who wants to order drinks to go lol if I do that. I'll save a load of money, go to a liquor store & make my own 😂 but it's so loud in there between the commotion of the staff cleaning hurriedly & slamming dinnerware into the roll bins to have cleaned or the other customers yelling loudly back and forth laughing louder than the music being played. Or let's not forget those that bring their younger children out to feed them rice & chicken nuggets so they can have their drinks :/ so it's all too loud. I've ordered a handful of times for pickup. My food was cold by the time we got to our house 2 Mike's down the road. Food was soggy. The costs have gone up but what's so shocking is the cost of the white cheese. Unbelievable!! The chips aren't as fresh as in house either. So I'd rather go in but will have to see if I can fit in the times they are least busy. Either way, I've always liked this Amigos. Been going since before my Martial arts days when it was just next door. I'll continue to dine there...just at less busy times. It's more enjoyable that way. I left the photos of where my husband & I last had dinner there. They do have good food. Just once...

Ordered $16 dollar Texas fajitas. Plenty of steak, chicken and shrimp.. And then just 3 small tortilla to wrap them in.. Said I needed more tortillas and they brought 3 more.. Never said anything about an additional charge but certainly charged me for them.. Talked to assistant manager and he said"I understanding it was not enough for the food on the plate but we all ways charge for additional and that's the owners choice" .. It has been one of my wife's favorite places to eat but I let her know and the asst. Mgr know that it would be our last time eating there. If you want to be cheap and chincy and not appreciate my visiting your establishment then I will no longer provide you with my business or my money. It was our Christmas eve meal.. Thanks for screwing it up!!!...read your response and you may want to advise your mgt in how to deal with customer issues if you really appreciate their business that much. Again.. Even the server who brought additional tortillas never said "additional charge" he just got me more tortillas and then added them to ck.. That doesn't show "customers" that you appreciate them.. It tells them you are cheap and take advantage of them when you can. We have enjoyed your restaurant in the past many times and never had a problem.. But when there finally was an issue, no one gave a darn.. But thank you...
