Nous étions une table de 5 & un gratuity automatique de 15 % a été ajouté, ce qui est inhabituel pour un groupe de cette taille. Ensuite, sur la machine, on nous demande ensuite de laisser un autre 15 % calculé sur un total qui incluait déjà ce frais, donc on a payé un tip sur un tip.
Au final, ça fait plus de 30 % en frais & pourboires sans que ce soit clairement expliqué. Je trouve que le processus manque de transparence.
Past by this Wednesday today. By luck, they had fajitas special. That I totally enjoy. The fajitas dish costed $11.95 +tax/tip. Affordable & tasty Je suis passé mercredi. Par chance, ils proposaient des fajitas spéciales. J'ai adoré. Le plat de fajitas coûtait 11,95 $ + taxes & pourboire. Abordable & savoureux.

Update: I was asked to reach out to them by email. I did. I was told that someone would contact me to discuss the issue. It's been 3 weeks & no one did. I don't recommend anyone to order there. Worst experience.
I ordered takeout. I paid 5$ for extra guacamole & this is what they gave me. The food was burnt. Even if I went to pick it up I gave a generous tip. Coming home to open the box seeing that I was so disappointed. Never again
I recently visited 3 Amigos & really enjoyed the food & the overall vibe - both were great & made for a fun night out.
However, I was quite disappointed with how our server handled the payment process. Up until that point, everything was going smoothly. But when it came to tipping, things took an uncomfortable turn. I had no intention of skipping the tip - I simply wanted to choose a different amount & add it manually, rather than using the preset percentage options.
Instead of respecting that, the server cancelled our transaction & insisted on a minimum 15% tip. He did not allow us to proceed with payment until we complied. Eventually, I ended up paying in cash, at which point he accepted it & let us pay.
I don't believe tipping should ever be forced. It felt like greedy behavior & left a negative impression at the end of an otherwise good experience. Hospitality should never include pressuring guests, especially when they're already willing to tip. I hope management addresses this so others don't have a similar experience
I've been coming to this restaurant for about 30 years & have always enjoyed the food. For that reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of less. However I was very unhappy today with the server's attitude regarding a tip. If I didn't want change back I would have told the server. I wanted little time to calculate how much to give, based on the net amount before tax. When she came back to get the card machine from my friend, she asked again about a tip, which I then gave her, with less grace than I should have because I felt pressured. It'll be a long time before I go to this restaurant again.
Best place for Mexican food in downtown & has lots of vegetarian options too. But the only thing I don't like here is the way they always force you to tip them high.

Je suis aller au restaurants hier c'était très bon. Au moment de la facture je me suis senti obligé de laisser un tips. Généralement un tips c'est à la discrétion du client sa doit pas être obligation. Moi je laisse toujours un tips mais quand votre serveur oblige sa l'air un peu intimidant.
Food is nice but servers force you to tip them & if you try to customize tip they will tell you that they are paying from their pocket to the government & make you feel guilty just because we are paying less than 15%
waited at the front of the restaurant no one was seating us. My boyfriend asked if we could sit at the bar. My boyfriend ordered a double cup of hennessy vs & the bartender said it was 14 bucks but the total came to 25 dollars. I ordered churros which was six bucks & I only got 4 churros when in the past I have gotten more. Then my boyfriend asked for the bill & the server who had brought me the churros asked for a tip, I would've tipped the bartender but the server did not have anything to do with my experience the server reached over to click on the 20% tip as I was paying therefore my boyfriend took the machine & didn't tip him. server is usually on the tables near the bar & has a beard beware
Tonight was the worst service I ever got from 3 amigos… I'll never go back there as long as I live, nor will I 3ver suggest it to anyone ever again. Total rip offs, terrible service a d nasty food tonight.
This place serves THE best Mexican food, but when we had our food the waiter took the card payment machine & he himself did put 18% tip. He didn’t even give us a chance to do it. We were disappointed with the experience, but I love the ambience of the place here.
The taco bowl was amazing & had very fresh, flavourful ingredients. I’d go back again just for that. Unfortunately, the service was bad. My mom got the wrong dish & the server did not apologize for the mistake or rush the correct order. The server also looked over my shoulder while I was I putting my tip & commented about the amount/asked if she could input a tip on my behalf which I thought was unprofessional.
Service was bad, waitress forgot about us never came to check, got my food it was cold, had to ask her twice to bring more salsa. When I was going to pay, & I told her I would add the tip she told me about how waitress don't get paid well & I should tip her well which was very rude to me cause her service was poor, very disappointing.

The food is as good as I remembered it. The host who placed me was nice & found me a table very quickly. Then this went downhill. A waiter comes near my table & I thought he was my waiter but he brushed me off. Then I see my host pointing 3 times at my table to the waitress who obviously would serve me. She didn't seem thrilled to serve the senior citizen I am who was there all alone. She probably thought the group behind me would give a better tip, a rude group who allowed a little girl to scream at the top of her lungs all the time, never thinking to tell her to stop that, that it was rude. They were also taking all the space & many times I had to bend down my head not to get hit by a platter as because there was practically no space, waiters would pass very close to my table. Appearances can be deceiving. I could see her surprise when I paid as she probably didn't expect me to tip her. I used to go to Three Amigos regularly before the Pandemic with a good friend of mine who now suffers from Alzheimer. We used to go there for his birthday. It was already hard for me to go there on my own but I wanted to eat tacos at my favorite place. Hopefully the next time the service will be faster & better.
We made a reservation for 18:30 & the person responsible to sit us down was telling us the website was having issues & that it's a new system & there are no tables & there is nothing he can do. So making a reservation or not didn't seem to make a difference. He was telling us we had to wait at least another 30min. We had to push (15 min after waiting) to tell him there were three tables empty & cleaned that we can use & only then he decided to sit us down with attitude of course.
The waiter that served us, however, was a gem & did everything quickly, remembered our orders by heart & had a smile on the entire time.
So as a tip, make a reservation at least 15 min before you are meant to arrive.
le service était horrible on est arrivé on nous a placé dans un coin sombre devant les cuisines, ils ont attendue 1 heure pour venir prendre notre commande, puisque c'était une fête d'anniversaire on avait apporté un gâteau d'anniversaire puis il nous l'ont apporté pas coupé avec des assiettes sales & lorsqu'on a demandé de nouvelles assiettes puisqu'elle était clairement sale on ne l'es a pas reçu.Puis a la toute fin quand est venue le temp pour payer on nous a informé qu'il y a un 15% de tip obligatoire à payer pour les services mais les services n'était pas à la hauteur d'un 15% de tip ou d'un tip tout cours. Très déçu!!!
Nice food but when I arrived the manager was rude, the table at hour time of reservation wasn't ready & the worst they charge you the 15% of tip without saying nothing, so at the end if you dont read well you will give them the 30% of tip... taking advantage of the clients it's NOT the way to be.
Nourriture moyenne, service TRÈS mauvais les dimanches lorsqu'il y a les rabais sur les tacos. Serveurs nous réponds mal, prends son tip sans redonner de change, manager médiocre, il y avait eu de nombreux problèmes à nos commandes & le manager n'a aucunement essayer de régler le problème il a blâmer le serveur & nous a dit de ne pas le tipper. Pitoyable comme organisation.
