Best meal we've had in Wanaka, delicious desserts, we will be back! Cheers from Mosgiel.
Best Mexican food I've ever had! Gracias.
Great music soundtrack, & not your 'average Mexican food!'
Great place, welcoming as soon as you appear on the doorstep... and the FOOD!
We needed stretchers aligned with the tables so we could lie down in between meals!!!
Absolutely delicious. Perfect. Homemade nacho chips the best I ever tasted.
Thanks guys! Always our favourite choice when in Wanaka.
To Nicki, Warren, Dylan & the Amigos team.
Hey we really appreciate your continued support, both morally & financially. In this economic climate it's fantastic that your family business can still give such a helping hand to youth & community.
The amount we raised far exceeded what we expected & is going to be a huge asset for the continued smooth running of our adventure clubs & drop in times.
The Adventure Club had a valuable look into the world of hospitality, many of them are now interested in working as waitstaff in the future & all of them had a great time working at Amigos.
Parents we spoke to were proud of their young persons ability to behave in a professional manner with relative strangers in a new environment, & were mightily satisfied with your tasty meals.
So thanks again for your generosity & enthusiasm. We love you!

Dear AmiGos the meal tonight was great. Loved the service and loved everything else too. From Sammy, your #1 Fan! (~:
Fantastic meal in great surroundings with very friendly service, despite the HECTIC evening! Possibly the best chilli I ever tried-have to check if it's a secret recipe! (Nope... just ask us next time! Waz) All in all, GREAT CHOICE, so glad we came! Penny, Vic & Nicki PS we really approve of the free range chicken!
Came here for my 30th birthday meal and was not disappointed... We're also LOVING that you followed Jamies (Jamie Oliver.. the big food fight) advice using the (corn fed & free range) chicken-strong work!
The BEST steak!
Out of this world! Absolutely fantastic-well done guys-This is by FAR the best Mexican I have ever eaten at!

"...the best Mexican meals we have ever had with individual tastes, not overpowered by the brute force of chilli. The Brewski deserves a special mention as one of the best NZ beers we've tasted. - Richard & Katy
