Shockingly good Tex-mex for a random roadside stop during my trip across the country from Texas. Next time I'm coming through, I'm definitely stopping at Cantina Amigo's again. GET THE FAJITAS. Unbelievable prices too.

Very, first time ever trying this place, we will definitely be going back. The food was super good and the staff was friendly the night we went. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. I would recommend giving them a try if you are ever in the area.

A great vibe to the place! Seated right away, served promptly. Great prices. I had the burrito Mexicano and couldn’t finish. I filled up on the free nachos and salsa. Our server was friendly and patient. The menus were a bit sticky and dirty to touch, but I didn’t care. Was a great stop by our hotel. Cheaper then fast food and so good

I really enjoyed the tender t-bone steak covered with cheese and topped with tender shrimp! The flavor was delicious! It came with a side salad chili and rice! My waiter was very attentive! I also ordered a Margarita that was loaded with citrus fruits...so delicious!

Stopped by this gem on the highway near Knoxville -- and wow, both the quantity and quality are on point! The plates are loaded with flavorful rice, creamy beans, fresh guac, and perfectly seasoned meats. Plus, you can't go wrong with a free big bucket of crispy tortilla chips and fresh salsa on the side. Great for a road trip meal that actually leaves you full and happy!

Located just north of the French Broad River, it’s an easy drive from the exit on I-85 on the scenic local route. The food and drinks are basic Mexican-American and do taste good. This place has a lot of floor space and a big bar area, facilitating reunions and other activities with friends. Lots of space and tables for outdoor dining and socializing.
