La Amistad Restaurant — clean, consistent mexican in Ravenswood. Order the Burrito. The staff makes it feel personal, and BYOB. "The carne asada is finely sliced and well seasoned, which I think works best for tacos and burritos" — Daniel Kassl

Disappointed. The ceviche was quite good. For the record, my two past orders have been good.
I got food here last Wednesday. I got the 3 taco meal with rice and beans and got steak tacos as well as guac and chips.
The food's okay, nothing special.

“Foods great here.”
Foods great here. Got a pastor taco dinner. Huge portions of meat, I couldn't even finish it. Not too expensive either. I definitely recommend.

Taco dinner is a great deal, got the al pastor and carnitas tacos which were excellent. Served with red and green salsa, cilantro and onion, perfect friendly taqueria vibe.

“Small joint but food is packed with flavor.”
Small joint but food is packed with flavor. Their al pastor is also fried up a touch so it has a great crunch and adds to the flavor.

“I’m here like everyday.”
I’m here like everyday. They have some of the best carnitas. My current favorite thing to order from here is the burrito with carnitas. I ask them to add rice and fresh avocado to the burrito; it’s awesome! The staff is always so nice. They have been nice to my daughter. She appreciates the chocolate cookies so much.

“A hidden gem in ravenswood.”
A hidden gem in ravenswood. La amistad really is a unique place. I will highly recommend the vegetarian / bean burrito. It tasted very good and the chips and salsa kept making my friend and I want more.

“When you see or hear super nachos.”
When you see or hear super nachos. You expect the works. Lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese , sour cream. Now that I would call super. This here is absolutely pitiful.. never again will I spend my money in this place. You charged me 19 dollars for this BS... 😒

“This place is THE BEST.”
This place is THE BEST. Great food at a great price. We probably order from here at least once a week, and we started going there six years ago. The food is consistently excellent. Highly recommend!
