  My Stomach Hurts. We didn’t enjoy the food or anything else about this restaurant. Price was high but the real secret is that there is a lot of it. Each... read more meal could feed three people so if you don’t care how bad the food is just order one meal for a group.

  Excellent food and great, fast service! Small place- we ate outside. No wait was a bonus! Margaritas were very good as well. Definitely coming back!

  The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The salsa and chips don't come with your meal like you might be accustomed to at most Mexican food places. The fajita meat... read more was tough and dry with very little seasoning. The nachos are a very large serving can definitely be shared.

  Wow barbecue chicken taco salad. The best. Ordering is weird come in grab a menu sit yourself. When ready go to bar and pay. Chips and salsa is extra

  Great margaritas, fish tacos and just all around awesome food. Service is great and they offer outdoor dining!

  This small restaurant is really, really good. The burritos are Nerf football sized and the ingredients are very fresh. We had house margaritas that were some of the best we’ve... read more ever had. Food on other tables looked good, especially the taco salad. Many people came in for take out. We could only manage half of our burrito so lunch is made for tomorrow! Julie was our server and she was awesome. Everyone there was friendly and working their behinds off! This has got to be a hidden gem. Going back later in the week.

  The food was amazing and huge portions! Chips and salsa were great! Nothing we had was bad. Staff was very attentive and helpful

  Stopped in on recommendation. Was not disappointed. Happy hour. Fabulous margaritas. Ordered only one burrito to share, since we were only stopping for a snack. Best steak burrito ever.

  Went in for a lite bite and some cold beverages. The chicken quesadillas and fries were really really good and so were the ‘World Famous Margaritas’ which come with a... read more dash of Grand Marnier. Very friendly service and very reasonable prices - I just wish that they would open up a place nearer to where I live…. I would be a regular.

  Little hole in the wall but great take out. Exceeded expectations. Steak was flavorful and tender. HUGE portions.

  My wife and I had the fish, steak, and chicken tacos. The fish and chicken were our favorites. Also had a coconut margarita. It’s was very good.

  Great food - try the fish tacos - sauces are the best and they have great burritos and other things cooked fresh.

We started of with the Chips, Salsa & Queso Dip....Perfect in all aspects even the Salsa Bar~ The Queso was perfect, Spicy and Consistent! Amazing salsa and the Green Salsa was perfect!

My wife had the Nachos W/Chicken and I had the Killer Burrito (Carnitas) It was phenomenal and perfect! Ingredients made each piece pop! What an amazing place....Portions were enormous and Wow! Amazing Margaritas too add to this fabulous meal~

The servers and prep cooks were working constant and the place was clean and an amazing atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating! Highly recommend and what a hidden gem of the beaten path. A HH place from now on for us~

  We went here for happy hour (4-6PM)--$4 margaritas and free chips and salsa. Both were great!! We ordered the famous BBQ chicken salad at the owner's recommendation. It did not... read more disappoint. The chorizo burrito was huge and delicious! The staff was hard-working and super friendly. We will be back next time we are on the island. So yummy!

  After a long day of driving, Amigos’ awesome BBQ Chicken Salad hit the spot. Substantial, fresh and tasty, it was just what I fancied. My husband opted for one of... read more the Killer Burritos -- the steak fajita version. That thing was HEAVY when I picked it up and he said it was very good. We ordered our food to go and went to pick up some groceries while they prepared it. I was happy to see that Amigos was as busy as ever, both with eat in and take out diners. It’s one of our go-to places when we visit and perfect first night choice. Items as well packaged for take out. I didn’t lose a crumb of my tortilla shell on the way home. Staff were masked.

  This place has fantastic margaritas and the loaded nachos were also excellent. The owner personally took our order and came by the table often to check on us. She is... read more super friendly and a true professional. I wish all restaurants showed their customers such attention. Kudos for doing everything right! Highly recommend!

  We were in town to play golf but not eating indoors. We ordered two burritos and queso. It was a ton of food. The queso was great. The pick-up was... read more easy and fast. It was also easy to order via the phone. The burritos could be two meals. When back in the area would stop again. It is a corner of a shopping center and that was the only hiccup was finding it. We drove past it twice, it was dark. Hopefully, next time we can eat inside.

  Best margarita I’ve ever had! And I’m a snob when it comes to margs (I won’t drink one if they use a mix, I prefer them hand made). That’s what... read more drew us to the restaurant was another review about the margs.

Then onto the food. OMG I went against my hesitation and ordered the BBQ chicken salad because it was their most popular dish, and so far the reviews have been spot on. Bam! Again, great choice. Not a traditional Mexican dish but it wasn’t as weird as it sounds. It was truly delicious.

Then onto the staff/owner: the best ever! Friendly, nice, positive people and atmosphere. A review mentioned the host/owner Carolyn. Perfect description in a review. She is the sweetest. We stayed and chatted with her and her staff well after closing time.

Only downside: gps has difficulties finding it. It’s in the shopping center it’s having you circle around. Stop listening and look up. You see it nestled in amongst other store fronts. You won’t regret it. I will definitely come back!

  My Husband and I were delighted to experience the superb service and delicious food here while on vacation in Hilton Head. The owner suggested that the two of us could... read more share an order of the fajitas and she was right; the portion size was huge! We enjoyed the food and her hospitality and plan to return the next time we are in Hilton Head. Highly recommend!

Everything we had was incredible... read more and yummy and everyone in our group enjoyed it 100% so much so that if we stayed in HHI longer we would have gone back. It's on our list as a must stop when we go back to HHI.

  Very casual. Huge portions. More like a take out restaurant with seating options. When I say huge portions, they’re BIG! I ordered 2 tacos and couldn’t eat them. A little... read more in the pricey side, but it is HHI. Food was yummy but not overly flavorful. Would def go back.

  Small divey kind of place but food is wonderful. You order at the counter and seat yourself. They didn’t have chimichangas on the menu but they made them for us... read more by special request. The preparation and taste was excellent. Been there 3 times this trip

  Pretty good little hole in the wall mexican place. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. Was a little crowded, but the service is... read more great. Food is average. All in all an ok place.

  We stumbled upon this place last year and it is the highlight of our HHI vacation. I was hesitant because of the location- but stop reading this and go! The... read more burritos are huge and amazing. Jimmy’s margarita is one of the best I’ve ever had. Quick, friendly service and laid back atmosphere. Cheese dip is great, salsa is not as good.

  The burritos were massive and delicious. Great great location great times. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and great value

  What a great find! We happened to be eating next door and saw many Hispanics going here. We saw all the great reviews and today discovered why. We had a... read more taco salad and a chicken fajita burrito and both were outstanding. The pico de gallo is freshly made. We will certainly be back to try many other dishes

  I don’t often give 5-star reviews, but somehow feel this place deserves this rating — perhaps mostly because of its authenticity.

From the music to the counter staff ...... read more from the shy, beautiful women cooking out the back to the actual food itself ... and from the gentle simplicity of the cantina to the line-up of beer-drinking locals at the bar ... one could almost mistake oneself for actually being in Mexico.

Once we ordered our meals from the front counter (which was a tough thing to do ... if only because the menu is so extensive and it was hard to decide what to eat!) and took our seat at a table, our drinks and then meals were quickly served. And oh my, those meals!

Super fresh and absolutely GINORMOUS. None of us could finish what we’d ordered (probably shouldn’t have ordered the chips and salsa as a starter...) and took about 2/3 of it home as leftovers.

My taco salad with chicken was one of the best Mexican salads I’ve ever had, though my husband wishes he’d ordered something other than the chicken fajita burrito — he loves burritos but not so much fajitas, so will try something else when we go back.

Loved the cozy atmosphere and the decor — one could sit and idle away hours here, just sipping beer and staring at the walls!

Will definitely return when we’re back here in the summer.
