The menu features a daily lunch menu served 12-5pm for quick, affordable options, a Taco Tuesday special on soft tacos, and a dedicated kids menu available every day alongside a weekly colouring competition. Customer reviews highlight dishes including nachos, fried chicken, calamari, quesadillas, rib-eye steak, churros and mariscos, alongside the restaurant's margaritas and cocktails.
Amigos describes its restaurants as welcoming spaces with bold flavours and a relaxed vibe, whether for a casual night out, a celebration, or a family meal.
Amigos has been serving hot Mexican food and cool margaritas since its first restaurant opened in Wānaka in 1995. Still just as obsessed with good food and good times, the brand has grown into six Amigos restaurants across the South Island, each with its own personality but sharing the same lively, welcoming atmosphere.
Amigos runs a daily lunch menu, served every day from 12pm to 5pm, offering quick and affordable options for those wanting a lighter midday meal. Tuesdays bring Taco Tuesday, with soft tacos available all day, and every day there's a dedicated kids menu alongside a weekly colouring competition, making Amigos a genuine option for family meals as well as nights out with friends.
Across its locations, customers consistently call out a handful of dishes. Nachos are described as gigantic, the fried chicken and quesadillas earn regular praise, and one reviewer called the calamari the best they've had anywhere. Others highlight the rib-eye steak and churros as a strong way to finish a meal, while a magnificent mariscos dish and the restaurant's margaritas round out the regular mentions.
No matter which Amigos location guests visit, reviews consistently point to friendly, attentive staff, generous portions, and a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to gather, celebrate, or simply drop in for a casual night out. Guests without a booking have been welcomed just as warmly as those who plan ahead.
Amigos operates six restaurants across the South Island, including this location in Alexandra. Guests can check the current menu and locations online, and bookings can be made directly through the Amigos website.
