Best Mexican restaurant in the bay area and Don Pilar makes his own tequila from Mexico. Its family run and the food is awesome a long with all the staff . The bartender Edwardo is off the charts makes the best drinks ever.They have a great outdoor patio and are animal friendly. The menu is awesome and a variety of good stuff to choose from . They also have a great childs menu including ice cream👍😍yummy. My very favorite in the bay area. I would give them 10 stars especially with the great job they are doing during the Covid
We just returned from having dinner at Tres Amigos and still are absolutely shocked at the Total lack of quality of the food and rudeness of the help. We cannot say one good remark about the restaurant. It is Awful and disgusting. Upon departing, I mentioned to an employee in a polite way how disappointed we all were, and he could have cared less. Beware…it is a “rip off joint.”
Good food, and good service. Large portions for what you pay. The queso fondito was good, however note that it is not a sauce like most fonditos Ive had - it was just melted cheese (think of the inside of a quesadilla). Burritos are huge. I was not aware it is not table service - you order at the counter then they bring you the food. Not a deal breaker, just wasnt what I was expecting. Guacamole was REALLY good. All in all, worth the money. I wont make it a destination, but Ill definitely stop in again if Im in the area.
The tequila and margaritas alone are worth the 5 stars. Quaint little place with quick table service serving food that makes you feel good.Free chips and great cocktails are a potent combination. The food was pretty good, but it wasnt the memorable part of the visit. That being said, I look forward to coming back to this great establishment.
You know when the chips are all wonky and a little bit stuck together but extra thick that they are homemade! Nothing better than having to pry those apart dip them into some Super Fresh real avocado guacamole! I had some very fresh chicken soft tacos and my friend has some gigantic enchiladas. The quantity and the quality for both over-the-top. Also, very pleasant staff and easy-going atmosphere. Grateful to have this outdoor option during these troubling times.
Sorry to report, but this local place is not as good as it was in the past. I’ve been here since it opened. Used to be great fresh California-Mexican (in other words not REAL mexican food), but is now not particularly interesting. Local families get dinner here because they’re tired, kids are cranky, and they don’t want to cook. Too much filler of bad refried canned beans. Measly meat portions. Don Pilar, pay attention. Too bad!
Fantastic!! Great food, tequila, & staff... what else you need...?!!? 👍🤩🥂
Very tasty Mexican food with a relaxed atmosphere. Inexpensive by Portola Valley standards. One of the most interesting things about this place is the Margaritas, which are made from the owners own tequila, along with fresh ingredients. They are fabulous. Highly recommend.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that this is hands down the best restaurant in Portola valley. One of the mainstay restaurants in our town(all other places move around and change ownership) with amigos you know what you are getting. Good quality food that is served quickly. They don’t need special gimmicks or creative advertising to get people to come in. They always have the most visitors just because people love to come.
Food was ok but needed to be more spicy for my liking. Food was served on time with little wait and quality was decent. Good outdoor seating.
Food is tasty, drinks are plenty. Chips and salsa are endless, help yourself style. The atmosphere is friendly. We always sits at the bar and we always meet friendly locals.My preferred anytime food place for a relaxing meal.
My favorite restaurant in the palo alto area. Ive brought many friends here, and every single one of them has wanted to come back. While they have all sorts of authentic Mexican, Ive only ever ordered a burrito because they are so good. The burritos are huge and particularly amazing if you order them wet (adds sauce, cheese, and sour cream on top). The free chips and salsa is also much appreciated.
Consistently some of the best Mexican food in the area. Fish tacos are delicious... actually everything weve gotten from here has been good eats. Little details like the grill warmed tortillas, and crispy edges on the carnitas and usually warm staff makes this gem of a restaurant our favorite.
Solid Mexican fare in Portola Valley - its a walk up, order, sit and get served style place with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Good selection of standards from burritos and tacos to soups, salads, and traditional plates. Self serve chips and salsa bar is well appointed, tasty, and always free - I often find it difficult not to compromise my appetite before my main dish arrives!
Talk about fast service. Took the family here after a cold soccer practice and the kids were starving. After about 5 minutes of being seated after ordering our food arrived and the kids couldnt have been happier. The nachos were huge and my daughter devoured them. The Caeser salad was super yummy and my husband enjoyed his burrito. We will be back for sure!!
Good food, but really lousy service.We ordered to-go and were given a number. I asked the guy if theyd check the seating outside when it was ready and he said they would, so we ordered a drink and sat outside waiting.After 30+ minutes I went back in to ask what the status of the order was. The guy taking the orders went to check and it turned out that our order had been boxed and sitting on the counter the whole time. I said to him arent you supposed to notify us when the its ready? and got a laconic yeah, theyre supposed to. I dont know why it didnt happen and a real thems the breaks attitude.Net result was that by the time we got home, the nachos were completely soggy having been sealed in a container left sitting for so long , and everything else was cold and needed microwaving.I can understand a glitch in the process, but I found the not my problem attitude really offputting.Wont be going back.
One of our favorite restaurants to meet/take friends & family. Low key feel while still having the ambiance of a much fancier place. We love to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather while catching up& nibbling on chips & pico. The burritos are large enough for two meals, eat half & take the other half for lunch tomorrow. It has a bar with all the goods, as well.
A regular choice of my friend who lives up the hill in Ladera, I definitely recommend the food here and the service is always quick and friendly. Be careful, the margarita pitchers are easy to refill!
Lovely margaritas! Carnitas we excellent!
What a great surprise!! Authentico Margarita absolutely amazing!! Our first time here and we over ordered.....all the food fresh, seasoned to perfection and atmosphere great!! Did I mention prices...very very reasonable. We found a new stop!!
It was a very quick wait for the food. I appreciate the serve yourself style of chips and salsa. The seating area was big and it was not especially crowded. I enjoyed the food very much. Decent serving sizes and reasonble prices.
The carnitas were very fresh, so was the guacamole. Must try the mango margarita and the ceviche.
I absolutely love this place! Found it by accident when I went to visit my friend and her horse in Portola Valley. I was losing weight and didn’t want to spoil it, but agreed to try out this place as it had a million different options. Ordered the ceviche salad and have been in love with it since! A thousand thumbs up! 👍
Absolutely get the queso fondido w/ chorizo as an appetizer! But share and eat it quickly, the cheese will get hard.
I go there all the time. The food is great. A great tequila bar where they make the best Margaritas around. Good beer selection, as well as some decent wines, but the tequila is where it is at!!
Hands down the best Mexican place in Portola Valley. This is a place to bring your family on the weekend. The kids have options from chips and salsa to bean and cheese burritos. The flavor profile is something Ive struggled for years as it delivers an arms-length experience from the deep originality of Mexican food. Easy to access and easy to park. Expect many folks wearing snazzy cycling equipment downing margaritas and burritos and looking rather sedentary in spite of their high-tech gear. The owners serve drinks and refill the gigantic chips and salsa bar, which I must say, is excellent.During Cinco de Mayo this place is hoppin. A mariachi band is procured and Corona signs are posted everywhere.
The Carnitas Amigo burrito is excellent (and huge). The complementary chips and salsa options are also great. Parking can be a challenge sometimes during lunchtime, but the service is reasonably quick and efficient even when there is a line.
The food is tasteful and attendance is nice and fast. The only thing that worried me was that almost all cooks were covering only the mouth with the mask. Noses were uncovered. In COVID-19 times this can be a problem.
I went to Amigos Grill because of the high reviews, but I was very disappointed. I ordered the Carne Asada (my favorite Mexican food dish) and it was probably the worst Ive ever gotten. It is supposed to be (and was labeled as) a seasoned skirt steak cooked medium, but it was thick, under seasoned and extremely overcooked. The little rice and flavorless beans that accompanied it did not help. My friend ordered the quesadilla, it was essentially just tomatoes wrapped in tortillas... He did not even finish it. All in all I would not recommend to anyone who enjoys Mexican food.
Very friendly employees befitting the name of this good neighborhood which serves tasty Mexican food at quite reasonable prices. A great option in expensive San Francisco quality, quantity, and inexpensive.
Great place for Mexican. Food was fresh and prices were not bad. Definitely would go back. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Great outdoor seating on a nice day.
Amigos Grill is the real deal. Authentic Mexican dishes with great service and the best Tequila youll find anywhere. Treat yourself and go to Amigos Grill.
Delicious authentic Mexican food, great chips, great Don Pilar tequila.
Probably among the worst fish tacos Ive ever had. The fish was chopped up into little pieces. Flavor was not very good either. My husband s burrito was okay however.
We normally get their Amigo Quesadilla with carne asada and it reminds me of being back in Southern California. Have some free chips/salsa, order a pitcher of margaritas, and let the weekend begin 😎
Sat at the bar. Excellent service and conversation with the bartender. Food was great too. Drinks were great. Missus enjoyed the jalapeno infused tequila.
Awesome food, drink and local crowd - been here many many times over the years. Don Pilar is the namesake behind tres amigos in HMB and this one in portola - and of course Don Pilar Tequila! great spot to catch a giants game
Standard Tex-Mex fare. However, according to the owner, the make their own tequila. As such, if you like Margaritas, you will be rewarded.
I absolutely love Mexican food so when i came here i was expecting to like it. Unfortunately i did not like it at all the chips were soggy and the meat was dry.
For one of the only places to eat in Portola, surprisingly good. Wait time is pretty decent, even at lunch rush, so someone is obviously managing the kitchen properly
Delicious variety of Mexican dishes, great service. Outside seating available. Dogs welcome on patio.
They have good Mexican food. The price is on the cheaper compared to other restaurants in the affluent neighborhood. You also have all you can eat chips and salsa.
Great mexican food with large portion and free salsa and chips.
Worst Mexican food Ive had in a long time. both mine and my wifes were nasty...eggs undercooked greasy chorizo. They make good drinks but thats it.
Good food at a good price. Great kids menu. Bring the whole family. Help yourself salsa bar. Very spicy.
Decent burritos and tacos. Food is well cooked, full bar as well. Great pick up food if youre in a hurry.
Love this place! Friendly staff, consistently good food and margaritas!
Nothing fancy, just reasonable Mexican food. You can choose to eat outside or inside. Ordering is easy and your food arrives quickly.
Great food, great drinks. Will definitely be returning!
Love the food, drinks and service
The carnitas are amazing, as are the margaritas. Both available to go! (As are bottles of Don Pilar tequila)
Been there many times. Cozy atmosphere, convenient price, great outdoor sitting! fresh delicious food. endless chips and salsa.
The pastors nachos one of the best around,at fair price...
Excellent food and great atmosphere when there isnt an important sports game on tv. When there is a game on people sit at the bar and drink too much becoming loud and sometimes obnoxious.
Great food made for gringos. Super high quality, just not spicy enough.
Good margaritas. Had a great shrimp burrito. Would have given 5 stars but the salsa bar was a mess and out of stuff
Just OK mexican food. Nothing here will knock your socks off, but then again you dont have to drive all the way down to Redwood City to get a proper mexican meal...
Excellent place to eat mexican food. Very good Margaritas.
Great place. Shrimp burrito is great. Good chips. Solid margaritas.
Great food, quick service, decent prices, salsa bar and their own tequila. Whats not to like?
I went in the morning and had a breakfast it was really good very fresh and the service was really good they also have shrimp wrapped with bacon which is pretty awesome
Once in a lifetime tequila and the man who makes it grace the place. His amazing wife and crew also make wonderful food.
The food here is always good. But its very loud. The acoustics are terrible. Sit outside if the weather allows it.
Great overall. Self serve chips and salsa make up for long lunch lines and having to wait. Would definitely go back.
The margarita is one of the tastiest Ive had! It must be because of Don Pillars own tequila!
Great place to hang or with friends, hence the name I guess. Grab some good food and drinks in a fun atmosphere. The staff are nice and efficient.
Amigos is one of our favorite Sunday afternoon drive in the country destination. Tasty taqueria fare tucked into the trees. You cant go wrong.
I love this place. Eddy who works here makes this spot a great experience every time. Stiff drinks and best fundido in town
This is the biggest, tastiest, and best burrito in the Palo Alto area. Highly recommend the carnitas burrito wet style.
Stopped in to get a bottle of Don Pedro, bartender game me a shot as well. Always welcome atmosphere.
The burritos are delicious and heavy. Their margaritas are strong. Usually a wait here.
We like the shrimp quesadillas and the margaritas. Heartily recommended.
Average Mexican food, things can definitely improve.
How can you make Mexican food so uninteresting. Between bland food, somewhat dirty chip bowels and general stuff Id pass this place by even if starving.
Be sure to have radishes and salsa with the big chips. Try the flan for dessert. Good value and informal after a bike ride.
Nice taqueria with not too long of a wait. Burritos, tacos, and free chips, with a selection of American and Mexican sodas.
Popular for to go currently. Get a veggie burrito and a marg to go and have a great night
Very relaxed bar, their own brand of tequila, nice chips salsa and food.
Incredible views (you can see the ocean in the distance!). Quaint little park, with links to trails all over the hills.
I love the margaritas and the employees there. Everyone is very talkative and respectful.
Above average Mexican food for the neighborhood. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is a little overpriced
Delicious food, excellent salsa bar but too many flies outside!
Good food and excellent margaritas in a casual location
Burrito was made perfectly to order. Fast service, great chips and salsa. Will be back.
Great tasting food. Loved the tequila cazuelas
Our favorite neighborhood Mexican meal. My favorites are the delicious carnitas, salads and guacamole.
Great Margaretas with their own tequila. Food is amazing great flavors and great ambiance.
Love the food, but tables could be cleaner and the noise is always more than I personally like.
Excellent burritos del Mar, 2X beer and a nice place to lunch and dinner.
Solid tacos with Mexican rice and retried beans. All thats missing is some shredded cotija on those beans.
Kind of meh. I tried it based on a Google says you might like this. Google wasnt quite right. But it was ok. Missing the little things like spice, and cheese on beans. But ok.
Always like this place. My recent visit was the best ever. Chocolate adobo plate.
I enjoyed the food, a wet burrito and part of someone elses quesadilla.
Good chips. Decent Mexican food with large quantity.
Always great service and marguerite as here the food can be hit-or-miss at times
Best mexican food in the area specially carnitas plate
Simply the best Mexican restaurant of the bay, and the tequilas are awesome.

On Sundays in the afternoon the food is good and the margaritas amazing with tequila Don PilarIt is a pleasure for a Mexican to visit a place as traditional and representative as Amigos Grill, the personalized attention and great attitude like that of Pedro who is at the bar and you have to try his margaritas with Don Pilar tequila.
Ma fascinates the food there, and they have specials of the day and I like that because they are a little cheaper, and the waiters are very friendly
Chile Fillings! Great food better tequila

2021-11-22Good Mexican food! Outdoor seating is the best place to enjoy the meal. We started with Ceviche for appetizers and had the Fajita Salad Bowl, Shrimp Fajita, Veggie Burrito for main course. We tried Mango Margarita drink and it was delicious. Nachos and salsa are served for free as in other Mexican restaurants. All the items were good.

2020-09-07Wow, I was impressed with the food. It was delicious and the service was great. I was not a tequila person until I tried theirs. Absolutely great stuff and the margaritas were awesome, finished off with a couple of shots of anejo. Gracias Amigos Grill!!

2022-02-23From the Google reviews, I didn’t realize this place was counter service. For counter service, it was good but seems kind of expensive. The whole place was kind of drafty in the winter. Maybe that was what they were going for in coronavirus times. But, I don’t think I will be going back.

2021-08-20Not very good. My friends tostada had small pieces of dry looking beef, no cheese altho the server said there was some below the beef, and some chopped up lettuce delivered after her dish arrived. Condiments arrived at the table some few minutes after our main dishes, and we had to ask for spoons for them. Chicken mole was OK. A burrito looked unappetizing. Very good but expensive house margaritas.

2021-09-13The food here was pretty good, no complaints. Tried the chicken/beef fajitas, cheese quesadilla, and queso fundido. The queso was the most notable item but the fajitas came with a nice mix and quality of sides (guac, sour cream, etc). The margaritas were tasty (jalapeno and guava) and fun to have so many options. The restaurant got very busy when we came in but the food came out quickly and the margaritas even quicker. They did a great job managing the rush.

2021-05-25Went this past Saturday after the Giants/Dodgers game and Im so glad I stopped by. The food was excellent! I got the Red mole plate special. My wife got the carne en su jugo and we both loved the food. Tasted so homemade & authentic.
