Los Amigos Restaurant, LLC — Restaurant in Jersey City

I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could. I found it on Eater. So, I assumed it was good. I tried a Chicken Torta and Enchiladas Verdes. The Torta was disappointing. The Torta bread was not authentic. It was a typical sub roll. Not Mexican Torta bread. The toppings were OK. Not great, not bad. There were some legitimate flavors.

I’ll come back.. the chips and salsa were...

I wanted to grab a bite for my partner so I decided to go with something simple....guacamole and chips, $12. It was on point.

The service is amazing, feels like im in my mothers kitchen. The decor lacks luster but the food is even better. This tiny hole in the wall is a gem when it comes to shrimp tacos and freshly made guacamole. You can even ask to have it made spicy (I passed on the offer and went with mild). Those are my only two go to items so far. I highly recommend trying other items and leaving a...
