Default Amigo's

We had dinner at Amigo's after the Villages Band Concert tonight, and they have new management AND the $6 margaritas are now $2 Margaritas! They're REAL margaritas, with real tequila in them and real salt on the rim! Pass it on.
I THINK the fajitas were yummy, but I had too many $2 margaritas to be certain...

That is really good news about the mgt, I assumed when I saw the subject that the place was closing or someone was complaining about the mediocre food and bad service. We seem to get more than our share of restaurants opening with failure written all over the front door. They all seem too have at least one fatal flaw -- inexperienced ownership/management, insufficient or poorly trained staff, bad food, inconsistent service or food, bad location, or bad concept.

I realize the restaurant business is one of the most cut-throat around, and it really doesn't help that everyone who has ever been in a restaurant or bar thinks they can run one. Too bad there's not a qualifying test Morse could give them before he leases.

Sorry about the rant. Back to the subject -- I'll be anxious to try Amigo's again. I thought the food was acceptable, but the service sucked. Best of luck to the new folks.

Muncle, they still have some of the same servers, but Mr Aoki says, "Pull them up with you," which I always try to do. (That's my excuse for being such a high-maintenance customer

The new management was very visible and seemed like they were trying to train the servers. On the other hand, the $2 margaritas made everything seem better!

Been a regular since opening. Like the margaritas and the draft beer and chips/salsa is a bargain. Power was out the other night and waited on the porch/veranda with margaritas, chip/salsa for the power to be repaired. Worth the wait, food and service both great. Incidentally never have seen the place dirty/filthy. My better half would have noticed......well that is until too many margaritas.

Default Good Bye Amigos

I went to SS this evening and I noticed Amigos closed and the signs have been taken down.
Another one bites the dust.

We walked by Amigos last night and it was all dark. Have they closed? I liked their food and drinks. Anyone knows anything?

Was in Villages this past week. Amigos was closed. I truly understand how so many business and restaurants are going out of business. It has been told to me by the time they pay their lease and them have to give a % of the GROSS to the VIllages it is a wonder all of them aren't out of business. If you notice the new restaurants are close but outside the Villiges. Go figure.

I guess everyone knows they are out of business, like the rumors all fall that would happen
