Toujours un classique pour de bons tacos & une excellente margarita! Nous n'avions pas de réservation & ils nous ont bien accueilli. Tout avait l'air absolument délicieux sur le menu, difficile de faire un choix, miam!
Fun & festive atmosphere with tasty margaritas, savory guacamole, crunchy tortilla chips, & satisfying enchiladas. Patience needed during busy times. Understanding management who kindly helped us with a food allergy fix. Popular & reasonably priced. Reservations recommended during peak times.
We went here to celebrate my birthday. This is an authentic Mexican restaurant. The food was amazing, our waitress was excellent! I would definitely recommend the margaritas! The atmosphere & decor was great with music playing in the background.
Birria tacos were decent. Rice needs work. I got the 3 Amigos margarita. Little to no tequila in it. $35 for a drink that size should result in a buzz!
I had a thoroughly impressive experience at this location, enjoying the delicious food with generous portions & a vibrant array of flavors. The drinks were equally impressive, with perfectly balanced & refreshing margaritas.

We began with complimentary chips & salsa. The chips were fresh & crunchy, but the salsa lacked flavor & could have benefited from more seasoning & spice to elevate the dish.
For drinks, I had the Mambo Mojito ($11.95), which was refreshing & perfectly balanced, with a great mix of pomegranate, mango, & mint. My friend went with the Don Julio Margarita ($15.95), which was strong & smooth-ideal for those who enjoy a potent margarita with a bit of bite.
For the main course, we ordered the Smash Burger (double beef patty, lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, cheese, Ancho Chile aioli, served with fries). While decent, the burger didn't wow us. It could have used more sauce or some jalapenos for extra flavor. We also tried the Shrimp & Steak Fajitas, which, unfortunately, were not as flavorful as expected. To make matters worse, the waiter forgot to bring the tortillas, so by the time they arrived, the fajitas had cooled down. Although the waiter apologized multiple times for the oversight, the issue was compounded when dessert was offered as compensation, but we were still charged for the churros.
We ordered Churros with Nutella for dessert ($6.96), which were tasty but didn't stand out as anything extraordinary. They were a nice touch, but the experience left us feeling that the overall meal could have been more consistent.
Overall, 3 Amigos offers a lively, fun experience with excellent drinks & a few solid dishes, but it falls short in food consistency & service. The mistakes with the fajitas & the unaddressed issue of the dessert charge left something to be desired. It's a good spot for a casual meal, but there's definitely room for improvement in both food quality & service efficiency.
We visited near the end of service on a winter Sunday. The restaurant was clean & inviting, but a bit below the nicer Mexican restaurants we've visited elsewhere. The food & service were very good to excellent. The bar service was below average with minimal tequila in the margaritas & insufficient ice in one of the three our party ordered. The draft beer was served in an unopened chilled can with a warm glass.

The margarita was one of the worst I've ever had. It was warm & I had to ask for ice. I got tortilla soup & it was pretty good. The chips seem like they were from a bag & not freshly made. I was there at dinner hour, & it was not busy at all, which would imply that others feel the same way about the food. It was convenient to my hotel where I was staying.
