El Amigo Snack — Restaurant in San Antonio

I got to try this place out for the first time, and I am so pleased. I wish there was one closer to us by Potranco and 211. I also had the privilege of talking to the owner and learned he is from Monterrey, which explains why I love their way of preparing the food so much since I have family from there. I've been to three or more similar places like this, but none make the tostilocos as good as theirs. I also loved their elote loco, and the option of getting white Mexican corn is what I look for at establishments like this. I also ordered fresas con crema tasted exactly like I like them. The servings are very generous and the prices are fair for now a days. The chilindrina did have a different twist than what I'm used to. They use beans instead of avocado, but it was just as yummy. My girls ordered the mango worm something ice cream, which was huge, one could not finish it. My girls love getting the brownie and ice cream. The coktel de camaron was the best I've ever tasted. The employees were very friendly. I wish people would put them selves in their shoes and work a day in their place to truly understand what they have to go thru. Yes, they are young, but they are at least working preparing a good snack. Maybe if our perspectives changed and saw things thru a different lens, we could enjoy the time with your family to sit and talk while you wait a while. I hope this business expands to my area because not many places offer this much variety. For now, I won't mind the drive. I wish I had taken more close-up pictures of food items because we ordered so much Twice the cashier made sure she got everything we ordered correctly. Just for myself, I ordered 3 items, and my husband ordered a couple more things after this picture because everything was pretty good. Thank you for the delicious snacks ladies special thanks to Amy for mentioning this hidden gem. Now I know there's 3 locations to...

The place has a weird smell to it. DO NOT USE THE RESTROOM HERE! The restroom has the foulest smell ever. You can smell it as you enter the hall and it really hits you when you get to the back area. It made me sick. I didn't want my order after using the bathroom here. Which didn't matter because my order was wrong. When I tried to claim my order, the manager jumped in and was extremely rude. She said my order was confusing so they gave me what they thought I wanted. I asked why she didn't ask me to clarify my order. I asked for a blue coconut shaved ice. They gave me a coconada. She said I ordered a flavor of shaved ice they don't have. She said to them, shaved ice is the ice cream. I asked why they didn't say anything to me about my order. She said that wasn't her problem. When I asked if she could just get me a blue coconut raspa so I could leave, she finally gave in but "forgot" to tell me the raspa is less expensive than what they gave me. I had to ask if I owed them any more money or if they owed me money. Needless to say, I will not be giving them any business in the future. Michelle Lopez, who expects someone to come knock on the bathroom door??? When I give my order and it doesn't make sense to you, why would you let the customer walk away without clarifying the order??? That is just plain common sense. You're taking everyone's review to heart like you're related to the owner or staff. You can't tell me that my experience was wrong. I myself train employees on customer service. I can tell you for a fact, my interaction with the staff...

Never have I been disrespected being a local costumer by a worker with a bad attitude I told not to speak to me with her attitude and another worker came from the back and said she is a minor you can’t speak to her that way she is new I said to her no one is touching her if she is a minor she should not be working here my thoughts.In Spanish and English she gave me my to go Ice cream in a waffle cone when I wanted a regular cone then asked her for a cup only because the rest of my order was not ready she gave me a small cup waffle cone was not going to fit in, she got a bigger attitude when I asked for a bigger cup with a attitude. I asked to speak to a manger or owner they were both with there attitude that to call or go back at 9:30. It was 9:20 when I left from the location asked for the owner or manger’s name and the chunky girl that came from the back with the same attitude she said come back at 9:30. All I’m saying is Watch how you speak to people and treat customers you don’t know who your customer are or do for a living. Very un professional should have stayed and waited but my family was waiting on what we work hard to pay for our snacks at a local business to be treated in this disrespectful way. I go in there with my family and grandchildren my mom was with me she was like omg esa muchacha que le pasa very disappointed been going to this Old Pearsalle location since they first opened they were so nice I even had my card where they would punch a hole when you went in I believe it was 10 times a lot...
