El Amigo Mexican - Kannapolis

This might just be the worst white washed Mexican food I’ve ever had. These enchiladas look like a children’s pizza at elementary school. The sauce is unseasoned, does not come with rice or beans. The aren’t filled much and just soggy, so soggy. This and the queso fundido are all I had here in fairness but even that was atrocious. They give you that with NOTHING, what am I supposed to eat it like a soup? Just wild. I have a 10-hour ride back home in which I’m gonna pass countless reminders of food options that all remind me of what a terrible choice I made here today. Service was fine no problems there but wow food was like school cafeteria level no effort. Wouldn’t go near this if you’ve ever actually had an Mexican food before I guarantee disappointment. Prices are great but get what you pay for I guess.

I wish I could give more than five stars, this place far surpassed my expectations! We went with a friend for lunch after going to the park. My oldest son is autistic and eats very few things and he decided on the kids chicken tenders, his was the last meal to come to the table. He was struggling with waiting for his meal, one of the male servers was so kind and took him to the servers part of the kitchen and showed him that the cooks were working on his food right then. This helped him so much, a different male server was teasing and playing with my youngest so he didn't feel left out! I was so grateful for these two and for the many other servers who treated my kids like kids and not nuisances. Not to mention that the food was absolutely delicious and the queso was divine!

El Amigos never disappoints my husband and I. He almost always gets 2 beef burritos with rice and beans. I am the one that switches it up. Today I had ACP Chicken. Awesome dish! Chicken, grilled onions, zucchini, broccoli served on a bed of rice. Then topped with white cheese. Try it sometime! You can get it with shrimp or steak also! The service was excellent. He kept checking on us and was very personable!

Love it love it love it love the owner known him for years the staff is great food is great doesn't take a long time to get your order they have take out and they have handicap accessibility I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that loves authentic Mexican food

Our meal was great. I had Carnitas, and my spouse had shrimp and chicken fajitas. We'll definitely add the restaurant to our list of favorites.
