Los Amigos Mexican Grill #2 — Restaurant in Jasper

My wife and I went to a Mexican restaurant in downtown Jasper. They were very busy with parties and told us it’d be about 45 minutes (hopefully). So we decided to to try Los Amigis since it was new. We were seated immediately and waited on promptly but things went south after that. We were finally asked for our orders about 15 minutes later. We have our orders and we’re thinking…”well, they’re new and working out the kinks of the business. No big deal.” 45 minutes later we asked our waitress how much longer before our food came out. She said she would have her manager check. 15 minutes later (total 1 hr since we placed our order) I told my wife we should just go. I went to the check out and gave them &5 for the small bowl of cheese dip that we got 1hr 15 min. before and told them we were just going to leave. We were told that our order had been placed 27 minutes earlier. This is almost a 1/2hr since we placed our order. The manager said that we’re were just really busy and we noticed 8 empty tables in our side and about 5 empty tables in the other side. In other words, it wasn’t busy. We got no apologies, not anything but excuses. I told the manager that waiting an hour for our food was not acceptable so we left. We did, however, notice that the guys behind us were waited on pretty steadily because they were taking shots of tequila and drinking margaritas (we had ice water). I’m. It going to say to stay away from the place because this was just OUR experience tonight. We won’t be back personally and I think we’ll just stay with the restaurant that we always go to for some really good...

Other than the steadfast service, this place was rather disappointing. The food was more like an Italian fusion than Mexican. My husband and I tried a couple of combination plates so we could get a good feel of what the place was about. The enchilada was pungent with oregano and the red sauce was like a sweet tomato paste, the chile relleno was stuffed with mozzarella and topped with a Bolognese sauce, and lastly the tacos were simply flavorless. We had to ask for extra salsa just to add some flavor to them. This establishment is situated in what was obviously at one time a Ruby Tuesday's, still housing some of the old decor. The aesthetic aside, our table was dirty when we sat down. There were chips from a prior patron in my seat and on the table along with a couple of opened creamer containers. Having lived in Mexico, New Mexico, and eaten at some of California's finest Mexican restaurants... Don't let the 5 star ratings on this place...

I had a to go order and everything was perfect! Even when I showed up the owner of the restaurant personally came to the pick up area and read me my order, and asked if he forgot something (which he apologized for) and made sure my order was correct. I’ve been to all Mexican restaurants in town and this by far is the most FLAVORFUL and most helpful restaurant! and let’s not talk about the amount of food they give you! I was super surprised that they didn’t just give my all veggies and little meat like most places do. Super happy with the service and the staff and the owner! Will most definitely be...
