El Amigo Mexican Restaurant in Kannapolis, NC, is an outstanding Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious. The serving sizes are generous. The wait staff is always friendly and goes out of the way to help you have an enjoyable experience. The chips and salsa are on the table almost as soon as you sit down. It is very reasonably priced.... More

Huge menu selection-no doubt something for everyone. At arrival we were promptly served our drinks and chips/salsa. My pet peeve at Mx restaurants is to get your nice hot chips and salsa and the wait for your Margaritta. They came at almost the same time here :) 3 dollar margaritta with good guality tequila although I ask for frozen and... More

I'm a large person and they tried to seer us at a booth too small for me. Then made us wait another 15 minute for a table while I saw other groups being seated. We were being punished for saying something.

This Mexican restaurant has it all. The staff is very friendly and the service is beyond Great. You hardly have time to sit and get comfortable before the chips and salsa arrive on your table. The wait staff is prompt to take your drink order and its only moments before it arrives. If you want to have some time before... More

First, I will tell you I am a very loyal customer. When I find a restaurant I like, I continue to take my business there, and recommend them to friends. We live in Lexington, NC which is about 35 minutes from El Amigo. We first met Jorge when he worked at Don Juan's Mexican Restaurant in Lexington. Don Juan's is... More
