Los Amigos

I was in the mood for Mexican food, and wanted to try some place new. This place popped up and I decided to give it a try.Surprisingly, it's in a gas station? I was sort of hesitant about dining here, but the place is a okay. There's obviously limited parking and seating here, so FYI it's not good for groups. Maybe a party of 4, tops.I reviewed the menu and kind of scoped the place out when I was inside. There's a wall and door that separate the restaurant portion from the station itself, so that's good. Some of the tables were dirty and looked like they were in need of being cleared, so it made a tight situation even tighter because it meant I had to sit right smack dab in the middle since there was only 2 other places to sit.My server was nice and answered a lot of my questions. The menu's decent but it's mostly dinner entree's here. I went with the 2 tacos that came with rice and beans since I was kind of hungry. Sadly, they don't have barbacoa, just ground beef and steak, in regards to meat selection for tacos. There's also pork and chicken, but since I don't eat pork and didn't feel like chicken, that kind of narrowed down my options to what i was going to get.As for drinks, they also don't have any fountain pop here at all, nor do they serve glasses of water. You have to purchase bottled water or no water at all. I think it's a $1 a bottle. They have can's of coke and some Mexican pop, and that's kind of it. I docked a star for the limited drink options because it was kind of a bummer. Plus, since seating was limited and the place wasn't packed, the tables could have been cleared sooner than later. As for the food, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I mean, it wasn't life changing but definitely good and the beans were awesome. The rice was good, and I mixed it with the beans, so that was tasty. Tacos were very yummy and over all, it was worth visiting here. Regardless of the tables that needed to be cleared, I wish they would at least have glasses (or Styrofoam cups) where you could at least get refillable ice water or something. Maybe they don't have the space, I'm not sure, but that's kind of a thing for me. Overall, a decent quick lunch spot or place to carry out from.

My god is this food disgusting Taste like feet and latex, it's soggy and has no flavor other than a weird old taste

best birra tacos you will find! fast service and always pleasant. thank you! i wish they would keep the horchata filled up, i always like to drink it with my food.

Cute little restaurant located right next to the gas station on Joslyn. Service was OK but far from bad. Our waitress maybe still in training was overall friendly and observant. Food was delicious and not what we were expecting. This is the only Mexican restaurant we found that still serves radishes with their taco entrees. I only gave 4 stars because the rice was a little on the plainer side for me and rice is life for me. Restaurant serves chips and salsa as a complimentary starter.

There are many, many Mexican restaurants in the Pontiac area to choose from. Los amigos has Best traditional Mexican tacos in town. On Tuesday, taco Tuesday... Tacos are $1.29. regular price is $2.99.There are many, many different types of meats to choose from. The meat is super flavorful and the corn tortillas are not greasy or oily. The salsa is fantastic. The "hot" salsa is fire! Chips and salsa are on point. This restaurant is next to/inside the gas station. It is easy to miss, if you don't know what you're looking for. The restaurant staff is super friendly! I ordered for traditional tacos, shredded chicken, both kinds of pork and steak, some without and with cilantro and onion and added grilled onions and jalapeños. I cannot wait to go back. This is my new spot!

Took no time to pick up my lunch. I was so hungry no picture will be attached because the food didn't make it long enough. I order chicken nachos and they were just what I needed. They really give you a lot of food and are heavy on the toppings just like I like it! Fast service as well

2019-04-04. Los Amigos. Pontiac, MICame here for lunch with a colleague I haven't been in touch with for a while, we were surprised to find out that the establishment is on the property of the Marathon Gas station adjacent to the Sundry store. There is a connecting door inside as well as it's own separate entrance. There are about 10 parking spots at the edge of the property just steps away.Inside, the place is small and the decor is basic. With seating for about 36, all tables that seat four.Menus are laminated, and the place is open early to catch the morning commuters wanting breakfast. While not overly extensive, their menu selection was very decent, serving up authentic Mexican dishes.They had a special going on, 3 taco for $5. After perusing their types of tacos, I was sold. I went with the lamb barbacoa, the chiccharron verde, and an al Pastor. They had a page of their menu advertising Flautas for $1.29 each, so of course I had to get one! I went with the chicken over the potato. To wash it all down, a Green Apple Mundet.Tacos, all served traditionally with two soft corn flour tortillas, with chopped parsley and onions, and lime in the side.Lamb Barbacoa. The lamb was shredded or pulled, moist, juicy, and tender. I added some red chilies sauce to kick it up a notch or two. Standard basic street taco you'd find in Mexico City, no disappointment here. 4 stars.Chicharron. Pork Rinds. I was actually hoping they would use the appetizer style roasted chicharron just chopped up, but again they were true to authentic Mexican style where it's stewed and soft. Flavorful, but not enough to quell my hopes. 2,5 stars.Al Pastor. Made famous by street vendors, this is my favorite taco. Spit grilled cuts of pork shoulder, the meat is slow roasted much like shawarma and gyros. Marination varies but has the common ingredient of pineapple or pineapple juice. The street version in Mexico City has a whole pineapple roasting at the top of the spit so that the juices drip and soak into the meat. Each taco is made to order and gets a tiny chunk to top it off. Unfortunately in MI, I have yet to have an Al Pastor that does this, and Los Amigos is no different. Still good though. 3,5 stars.Chicken Flauta. Shredded chicken meat marinated and rolled up in soft shell corn tortilla, then deep fried to a crisp. Topped with lettuce and cheese, it doesn't get better any more pure than that. The flauta was over cooked IMO, but not by much. 2,5 stars.The bill came to $11 pp after taxes and tip. Overall, a nice little place for lunch. Not to take a first date on, but the recipes are authentic, the place is clean, and the service is great. A solid 3 star place. Would I come back? Yes.If You would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit!

The owner is a scammer! She sells tickets for events and when these events are cancelled she promises people that she will reimburse their money and she does not! Instead she keeps their money and does not want to give it back! She is a horrible business owner

I haven't had bad food in so long. No flavor in anything my carnitas were hard and I can barely chew it. The salsa don't even have flavor. Rice or beans either

THIS PLACE IS SO YUMMY. I got the birria tacos and a single chicken flauta and everything was delicious. DON'T THINK JUST GO!
