Amigos Restaurant Comida Casera
Richardson, Texas
The best part about my Amigos experience was celebrating the end of the semester with my digital video students. Amigos gave us a private table near the bar, so we didn't have to worry about disturbing other guests. I had high hopes for this restaurant, since the online reviews raved about the food. Overall it was disappointing. I gave each student a chance to be a food critic for the day and voice their opinion. Below are their responses.
Max--The meat in the brisket quesadilla was dry and the cheese overpowered the taste.
Manny--I ordered migas and got scrambled eggs. No tortillas.
Ron--Veggie enchiladas were heavy on the sour cream sauce, which overpowered the taste.
(Vic & his wife also ordered this entree. Vic subscribes to the tenet that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. He ate his meal in silence.)
Holly--Chicken fajitas were tender and well-seasoned, but skimpy on the amount of chicken.
My cheese mole enchiladas were average. Satisfied my craving for mole.
The class voted and gave a lazy thumbs-up. All agreed that the price was right. Very affordable lunch and our server was attentive. She even volunteered to give us separate checks, lying and saying that was easier for her.
I will give a disclaimer that quite possibly our senses were dulled from our damaged/burned taste buds. Ron ordered the hot sauce and it was deceptive in its slow burn. First taste is flavorful and then the burn begins and intensifies until your mouth is ON FIRE. So it's best to go back and re-taste, just in case.
