Lonely Planet review for Amigo Mexican Food

Got a hankering for Mexican? Amigo has tacos, burritos, home-made soups and other 'south of the border' favourites. Dishes are served with flair matching a genuine taco-stand ambiance.

    Great Mexican food!

    kwasiuk recommends this,

    ...but a different address.Amigo is at #28, Lane 280, Guang Fu S Rd, Taipei. Take the MRT to the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall station, exit #2. Go straight to the second lane on the right - Lane 280. Turn right onto 280 and about half way down the block is Amigo! Chimichangas, enchiladas, etc etc - as good as anything in the States! We would also recommend La Casita at No. 7, Lane 64, Song-Jiang Rd. Taipei. for the best margueritas!

    Amigo Mexican Food Thwarts Again!

    rorobot does not recommend this,

    This place is closed down. I had lunch at 7-11 on Lin Sen Rd.

    Should have read the review before going out! And how is this possibly the #2 thing to do in all of Taipei - what a joke!

    Heartbreak

    Believe it or not, some good Mexican food was one of the things I most looked forward to when I came to Taipei. Having lived in the Japanese inaka for the past 6 months, I've missed nothing about America more than enchiladas and salsa. Amigo Mexican Food was supposed to be the capstone on a glorious first day of exploration in Taipei.

    Alas. Fate can be cruel...

    The relief of finding this place was quickly smothered by the horrific realization that Amigo was closed for business. We looked at several nearby entrances - maybe the sign out front was for a restaurant on a different floor. Soon, it became all too clear that the unlit store-front we had double- and triple-checked was indeed what used to be Amigo Mexican Food. Any traces of activity had been removed; tables, coolers or cash registers were nowhere to be found.

    Hopefully you read this from the comfort of your home, hostel or hotel, instead of finding out first-hand. There is nothing more crushing than the thwarted pursuit of Mexican food...!
