The Chips have been somewhat inconsistent over the years, but they are usually thick and crispy-- the way they should be.

The Salsa is really one of my least favorites in Oklahoma City, but the Spicy Salsa had a good flavor and a good kick.

"El Mexicano" with Mama's homemade recipe of green chile stew

"El Mexicano" is the name of the Green Chile Stew listed on the menu as one of the restaurant's specialties. In fact, it is made from "Mama's homemade recipe of pork stew and potatoes in a hot green seasoned sauce." The fact that "Mama" is actually present overseeing the restaurant may be one reason this dish turns out so well. I thought it was excellent, even surpassing the green chile stew served at Purple Burro in Edmond that was made with Hatch chile from New Mexico. The green chile at Los Amigos was not as spicy, but was very flavorful. The meat and potatoes in the stew were the quality and quantity that I thought they should be, and I thought the chile was plenty spicy enough (about equal to most green chile dishes in El Paso). I definitely thought this was an authentic Mexican dish, and was a good example of the owners' family recipes.

The Pinto Beans had a very good flavor.

The Rice was very good, but nothing made it stand out as one of the best in the city.

Charro dinner consisting of marinated chicken with green chile

The Charro Dinner was another dish made with green chile, and which was also very good. The marinated chicken not only had a good flavor, but helped make the dish filling without causing me to feel stuffed. The cheese did not overwhelm the dish because of the fact that it was white cheese.

I also liked the fact that this dish came with Guacamole, which I thought was one of the best in the city.

Guiso ranchero with chicken

Guiso is a dish that I found at a number of restaurants in Austin, and I think originates from northern Mexico. My experience with Chicken Guiso at Los Amigos was not as memorable as the green chile stew, but I liked the chicken and flavors of the dish. This was better than other guiso dishes I have had in Oklahoma City, and I think was pretty authentic (at least to the extent the ones in Austin are).

The Refried Beans had a good flavor, and are probably as good as the whole beans.

Chile relleno

The Chile Relleno is topped with green chile, which to me makes this a better one than most in the city.

The Melón drink was not quite as good as at Abel's, but I was very happy that they even offered it, considering how hard it is to find this canteloupe drink almost anywhere else.

A tortilla making machine is in view of the dining area, and it is apparent that they make the tortillas in house. I am not sure this makes them better than at any other restaurant, but they are fresh.

Sopapilla

The Sopapilla was one of the more flavorful ones in the city, and well cooked. As a matter of fact I was pretty impressed with it.
