Amigos Alexandra

Alexandra's hidden gem is serving traditional Mexican dishes with a mix of classic and contemporary twists. The building itself dates back to the 1860s when it was used as a post office and then bank, and with a tidy facelift it is clear the team intended to keep its rustic charm. In fact, you can still see the old vault door towards the back of the restaurant, and the original "Pay Here" sign from the bank is on display above the till.

Located in central Alexandra you won't need to worry about parking, as Amigos is easy to access and easy to getaway. There is also plenty of space for larger groups and families.

With their wide range of food options, a couple go-to starters are the house-made tortilla chips with your choice of dip, and the crispy calamari with aioli. Then, for your main, try some of the 18 different soft tacos on offer. Firm favourites include the carnitas; pulled pork, guacamole, pickled red onion, slaw, and aioli, or the pollo frito; fried chicken, charred corn salsa, slaw, and aioli. And for the vegetarians there is no shortage of choice. The coliflor with cauliflower, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds, or the jaca y cebollas with jackfruit, onion rings, and slaw are just a couple out of many options.

To finish in true Mexican style, enjoy the classic churros or indulge in the chimichanga platano, a tortilla filled with banana, ice cream, chocolate and caramel sauce.

Whether you come for lunch or dinner, their delightful meals and atmosphere are both a hit. Amigos also seek out local and seasonal ingredients wherever possible. Come to the food, stay for the margaritas, and indulge in the delicious Mexican fare!
