Amigos has been lucky enough to secure the services of our new head chef Cinthia Flores. Cinthia has been an executive chef in Mexico, Argentina and North America and now Australia.
She is passionate about her country and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of Mexico, it’s food and it’s culture. Please enjoy your evening and we hope to see you soon!.........
The small rooms and hallways together with the old world charm create the perfect atmosphere for dining Mexican.
Cinthia Flores offers traditional authentic Mexican flavours from Prawn Tostaditas to Tequila & Tres Leches Cake…. that will truly delight the palate.
Tequila is a premium liquor—and should be viewed similar to a Cognac or other brandies. In Mexico, the most traditional way to drink tequila is straight (i.e., without lime and salt).
Amigos was opened in 1973 and is Australias' oldest surviving Mexican Restaurant.
On this day the gates of heaven open and the spirits of all deceased children (angelitos) are allowed to reunite with their families for 24 hours. The decorative sculls are actually toys to delight the returning spirits of children on November 1.
The building itself was erected in the Victorian era and the upstairs was the scene of an infamous Wollongong murder many years ago.
We can cater for large groups, Xmas parties and any other event requiring a Fiesta

Why not start your Mexican experiance in our newly referbished bar area, that doesn't just look good.... it's also stocked with 100% Agave tequilas, an amazing array of Mexican Cervezas (beers) and of course Margarita's, traditional Sangria's and much mroe...
To get your Mexican experience under way we have a vast range of authentic dips and salsas, including:
Prawn Tostaditas - another gem from authentic Mexican chef Cinthia Flores, and a personal favourite.....Succulent prawns (what prawns aren’t?), simmered in rich thick chipotle salsa, placed onto mini tostada shells then topped w’ guacamole, jalapeño & cream
Mexican beer goes well beyond Corona or Tacate, with rich full bodied beers like Negra Modelo on offer you can venture out and sample some of Mexico's finest ales.
If you’re looking for that perfect salty accompaniment to your cerveza or margarita then this is it! Pork crackling w’ pico de gallo.
If you’re the type who wants their cake and eat it too (basically everybody), for you we present the Tapas Plate. We’ve decided on empanadas, alambres, buffalo wings & albondigas to place strategically on a platter for you to share.
Eaten everywhere in Mexico, Tacos are it. For your “true blue” Mexican experience, start & end here!
The selection includes:
Everybody wants to know what Mole is? Often created from “scratch” for fiestas Mole is complex sauce incorporating over 30 different ingredients, including chocolate & chile. However, Mexican chocolate is a little on the bitter side, so it needs to be sweetened, enter the berries. This is a fabulous dish and requires a try, at least once, to satisfy your curiosity. Chicken breast topped w’ berries mole. Served w’ frijoles tamal & esquite (cream and cheese) corn cob.
- Chicken tenderloins marinated in arbol chile oil. We then fire them on the char-grill to bring you a Mexican favourite. Served w’ nopales salad, guacamole, frijoles and molcajete salsa. And soft hand made corn tortillas for you to make that perfect wrap!
Cream Cheese & Walnut Flan - Creme caramel done Mexican style. Creamy, nutty & just downright delicious! Mexican typical flan w’ crunchy walnuts
Mexican fancy doughnuts! Served w’ Cajeta crème & traditional chocolate dipping sauce....amazing!
Tequila is a premium liquor—and should be viewed similar to a Cognac or other brandies. In Mexico, the most traditional way to drink tequila is straight (i.e., without lime and salt).

Not only is Cinthia an amazing chef....but she also expressed her artistic side on the walls and stairwells, bringing tradtional Mexican artworks alive.
How many favourite's can you have? Well...I don't know that there is a ruling on that....so this is yet another favourite.
This moist and spongy cake made w’ three different types of milk! Served w’ condensed milk custard and whipped cream w’ berries coulis, a must try dish.
