Amigos Cafe y Cantina is at 70 Pope Avenue, Suite I, tucked into a small strip of shops off the main tourist routes. It is a small, family-run Mexican restaurant with a bright, colorful dining room and a few tables on the covered walkway outside. Locals steer visitors here, and plenty of repeat guests eat here several times in a week-long stay.

Amigos Cafe y Cantina: What to Order

Burritos are the thing: reviewers call them some of the biggest they have had, and the steak fajita and carnitas versions come up often. The fish, steak, chicken and carnitas tacos, the BBQ chicken taco salad, the fajitas and the nachos are also praised, along with the salsa, pico and cheese dip. The margaritas, including a coconut one, are another reason to come, and a Taco Tuesday special gets mentions. Portions are big enough that many people take leftovers home.

How It Works

You order at the counter and the staff brings the food to your table, which keeps service quick. There are no reservations; small size means a short wait at peak times, but reviewers often mention getting a table right away. Some reviewers mention a happy hour with free chips and discounted margaritas, so ask when you order. Amigos is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and closed Sundays and holidays.
