Si Amigos Mexican

While driving around after my haircut, I craved tacos. There's a spot almost right next door to where I get my haircut but that wasn't the food I was jonesing for today. My go-to spot was packed for lunch so I kept going until I said out loud in the car, "let's go see Omar!" The man whose name was blurted out in my car is the owner, proprietor of Si Amigos. When I arrived, I opened the door and saw Omar sitting at the bar, eating lunch. I said, "Omar!" He was startled but happy to see me. His restaurant is chock-full of family recipes so choosing one item, in particular, wasn't easy. I saw molé enchiladas and ALMOST went with those but I wanted tacos. I ordered the three Al Pastor taco plate. The server offered chips and salsa and of course, I said, "yes, please." After chatting with Omar for a few, my food arrived. I was super hungry so I knew the food wasn't going to stand a chance. Boy, was I wrong. By the time I made it through most of the chips and salsa, two tacos, and all of the rice, there was one taco left. Omar said, "you can't be done. You still have one left." I said, "i really want to eat it but I'm super comfortable right now", so I got a to-go box and made sure to bring it with me when I left. The meat in the tacos was incredibly flavorful, the corn tortillas were absolutely perfect, and the rice they serve is SO close to my grandmother's recipe. I felt like I was a teenager again, back in her kitchen, listening to her and my Grandfather have a conversation. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great, the staff is really friendly, and the food ...oh man, the food is on-point. They have a killer tequila selection including a chipotlé tequila designed for a Bloody Maria. I'm not saying that I'm looking forward to enjoying one of those when I'm hungover but I'm also not going to turn away the drink if I'm not hungover. 😂😂 All in all, today's stop was most definitely 10/10. I look forward to going back there soon. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. Most importantly, thank you for taking the time to eat the food they make. The more we support the Mom and Pop places, the longer they're around. Cheers to you!

Worst burrito I have ever had! There was corn and peas in my burrito which I'm assuming was in the rice. Half of my burrito was rice and the other half was chicken. I told them no sauce on top to put the sauce on the side and I was charged for a side of sauce. On the other burrito items were missing they just put steak and cheese no beans no rice. I would not eat here again!!

We were taking guests out and thought we were going to Bertha Miranda's but turns out it was closed on Monday night, so we scrambled to find somewhere else to go. I'm glad they were closed. It was great! My new go-to Mexican place whilst in Reno! The camarones cabo blanco! Yummm.... They have a great bean dip they bring with the chips. I'm just sad now because they are not in Salt Lake. Maybe it's for the best...
