Our party of 8 family members went to Amigos with a reservation. All that part of it went well and given that its reasonably small, would recommend booking ahead with more than 2 diners.

All up, it was a success. Lots of details to remember:

- portion sizes were huge; I had the sweet potato soup as an entree and with some dips, could have gone home full at that point
- the guacamole dip with the nachos was superb
- dont get the jalapeno peppers added unless you are hard core
- the drinks (mojitos) were excellent
- I had a sizzling beef dish on a bed of mash (yum) - except I was so full it was a struggle to finish
- others on the table had paella which was also well received
- food wise, a hit and a fair variety available. Vegetarian was available on a lot of the dishes and looked appealing.

The menus were a bit odd in that they were photo albums with pages of choices put in. Quite creative but equally painful when they kept falling out.

Staff were a mixed bag. The key person was quite experienced and knew all the dishes. The backup was on their first night there and whilst pleasant and helpful, didnt know the food at all ! The head waitress must have been the backup's opposite - knew the game well but was fairly stern.

I found the room quite loud in a way that didnt promote conversation ( as opposed to a loud but intimate setting) and its pretty expensive.

If the last bit doesn't cause too much concern, I think its well worth a try.

Approximate cost: $28
