  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.

  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

  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.

  The place was very busy with lots of take out orders Had a carnitas burrito. The burrito is huge but filled mostly with rice and beans; had to search for... read more the meat. My wife's steak burrito was the same. There are much better places in the area.

  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

  My family and I were looking for a different restaurant but we thought we'd give this one a try and WOW we're glad we did. 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.

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

  Excellent burritos! Margarita was also very good! Service was friendly! We’d go back and recommend. Close to Caligny shops!

  I'm very picky with Mexican food. The experience, the food, the cleanliness of Amigos... and did I mention the food? This is simply the best food in Hilton Head. The... read more stuff was super friendly. My friends loved their food as well!!! I highly recommend it!!

  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.

  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.

  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!

  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. Love this place and highly recommend!

  We ordered the fajita platter to share for lunch. The staff was friendly and the wait time reasonable. The food was okay - plenty of food but the chicken was... read more dry and had no flavor at all. We'd probably try a different Mexican if we were staying longer.

  My wife, daughter, and I stopping by for a margarita on a whim. Never been here before, although we’ve been to HH many times.Mea culpa!! How many wonderful drinks have... read more I inadvertently missed!!!Best margarita ever! At happy hour (4) , they’re half price. I’m not talking about the small, full of ice nothings at most Mexican restaurants, Amigos’ are the real deal! Free homemade chips and salsa with drinks at happy hour. The salsa is made fresh daily and is a treat! We also had the TERRIFIC homemade queso dip, also the best I have ever tasted. Needless to say (but I will anyway!) we will be regulars whenever we are visiting Hilton Head. Ask for Carolyn, owner and hostess. She is terrific.

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

  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

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

  Always make it a point to go to Amigos at least twice during our weeks vacation on the island. Food is excellent and you get plenty! If you like Mexican... read more don’t miss this restaurant!

  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!

  Ordered steak and carnita tacos and a burrito. Tacos were very dry. Had to order cheese sauce to put on them. Flavor was ok. Burrito wasn't very good either. Very... read more disappointed since looked at reviews before we went. Will never go back.

  The food and customer service were so good our whole family wanted to return for another meal (and we did).

  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.

  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!

  It is always a good sign when there are lots of people at a restaurant several days in a row, so we decided to try it. Excellent food choices. I... read more loved the Low Country Oyster taco. It was an authentic taco with a fun local flare. The fish tacos were also delicious. The portion sizes and prices were excellent. The staff was very kind and helpful, offering refills on chips and different types of salsa.

  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.

  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!

  The food is absolutely AMAZING! Great service, great food, and smiling faces! I would highly suggest going here if you like Authentic Mexican. The best Mexican food I've ever had.

  We wanted a margarita and Mexican for Cinco de Mayo, this place was amazing. Shared a fish taco & pollo burrito (which was HUGE), both were excellent! The marg was... read more so good, we had another one. Do not hesitate to eat here.

  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.

  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.
