“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.”
“absolutely great! I just had the breakfast burrito and quesadilla. my friend got the chimichanga (see video) The steak was really good as well. great quality!”
“The chicken soup and chicken tacos were delicious. Great little place. Gracias!”
“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.”
“Went here for lunch yesterday, hands down one of the best taco dinners I've ever had. The food is seasoned to perfection, the portions are some of the best you'll ever find. Stuffed tacos with extra meat falling to the plate. The rice and beans were perfect, with a nice atmosphere and VERY respectful staff working there. A MUST TRY if you're in the area. Treat yourself, the food is worth it. Oh I almost forgot, very fair pricing as well. I bought my crew and I lunch and my pockets didn't feel much of a dent at all.”
“Attentive and polite staff. Really delicious food (we had the grilled tilapia with mango, avocado, pico de gallo and rice and beans, along with the grilled salmon salad and flan and rice pudding for dessert). Great options for non meat-eaters. The dining room is small and sufficient. Really good food.”
“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!”
“The restraraunt is amazing! The food was fairly priced and had HUGE portions. The food was delicious (all four of us loved our dinners that included a chicken burrito, mole enchiladas, steak tacos, and the best vegan burrito ever!) The guacamole, chips and salsa and the beans and rice were also outstanding. The service was prompt, attentive and friendly. The ambiance was simple and plain with some fancy paintings. No need to dress up. We will return again!”
“This place is amazing. Perfect chill spot for the neighborhood. Delicious food and wonderful people.”
