Casa Amigos Authentic Mexican Restaurant

Amazing service and food! My girlfriend has a gluten allergy and they had plenty of options! We will definitely be back

I lived in the capital of Mexican food, Southern California for more than 40 years. It is almost impossible to find any place that is remotely comparable. Tonight we discovered a place on the other side of the country that meets the standard. Casa Amigos in Port St. Lucie Florida is that place. First thing you notice is the decor, it’s bright but tasteful. The booths are high back which allows for privacy. I read other reviews and this place is highly rated…I understand why. The business was brisk, but there was adequate staff to handle it, which is really saying something. Our server Sebastian was awesome, my wife has a severe gluten allergy. We asked if the chips were 100% corn. He replied right away that yes they were, but he also added that they were fried in the same fryer as flour tortillas. He didn’t need to go ask the kitchen, or a manager. He asked if we had a gluten allergy and we said yes. He told us what was not deep fried, and that he would ask the kitchen to prepare our meal on a cleaned section of the grill!!! And as for the food, we ordered the carnitas platter. There had to be almost 2 pounds of meat, beans, and grilled onions on the platter. And the accompaniments, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and lettuce was delivered on a full sized dinner plate. It was more than enough for 2 people. The refried beans were delicious, The grilled onions were on point. Sebastian even knew that the Mexican rice was deep fried, I can’t emphasize enough how important a knowledgeable server is to enjoying a meal. Let me talk briefly about the Margaritas. There must be at least 20 different choices. All made with different tequilas…which is very rare. It was delicious and went perfectly with the food. It’s obvious that the owners of this restaurant take great pride in delivering delicious food and drinks because their staff is very well trained, and having owned a restaurant myself it’s fun for me to watch the symphony of organized chaos that occurs in a well run restaurant. Don’t let the prices scare you away, the portions are worth it, and they didn’t up charge us for splitting the entree. If my wife and I are ever in this area again we will definitely come back here.
