Where We Are Going Today: ‘Amigos' — Mexican dining in Riyadh
If you are seeking a Mexican dining experience in Riyadh, look no further than Amigos. Stepping in felt like a warm hug from an old friend. The restaurant has maintained its charm over the years, and aside from some new touches, the heart and soul of Amigos remains as it was. The ambiance is simple and unpretentious, reminiscent of a small-town cantina. So, if hearty, soul-warming Mexican food is what you crave, this is the place to be. During my recent visit, we indulged in a variety of dishes, including nachos, shrimp tacos, chicken quesadilla and even a hot dog. Each item left me feeling eager to return for more. The homemade nacho chips, guacamole and salsa were delightful, and the quality of the beef was exceptional. Every bite was just like I remembered. I also tried a meat taco, which could have been better with some toppings like avocado and sour cream. The meal came with fried potatoes and rice, though I found the nachos a bit lacking in quantity. I visited Amigos based on a recommendation and was impressed by the ambiance and the food. The staff were also attentive, making for a wonderful dining experience. We left completely satisfied. While the portions could be larger for the price — about SR50 riyals ($13) for a decent burrito or SR40 for tacos — the quality makes it worthwhile. For those raised in Riyadh, Amigos represents a soulful corner of the city that stays evergreen.
