    Everything is HUGE the tortas are bigger than the plates full of meat. The burritos are a big as your head and taste like heaven. If you get any dinner or platillo they are extra generous with the rice and beans. Also prices are low and everything is delicious.

    Negative is they dont split checks which sucks when you want to share this beautiful place with your friends and family

    Absolutely love this food and the atmosphere! Our waiter, Perfecto, was awesome and very nice. The food portions HUGE!!!!! The food tasted very good and they were not at all stingy with serving sizes. The service was excellent!

    One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the city.

    I come here a lot with friends and we always share the skirt steak platter. It's a huge folded skirt steak cooked medium rare to well with Mexican rice, Bea's, guac, quesadillas.

    Portions are huge!!! I also love their horchata with it's strong cinnamon flavor.

    If you want to get your own thing, can't go wrong with the tacos. They're also big and can come in a combo with lots of rice and beans.

    Since I've only had tacos 3X's in the last 3 days I was craving tacos again lol.  Tonight is Monday we were driving by Taqueria Amigo Chino on the SW corner of Irving Park & Central Avenue and saw a sign from the Mexican Gods to go to Al Pastor Tacos for $1.39 on Mondays and Thursday. (or it could have been the sign on the window advertising it lol) So we pulled around the block and parked on Central a few doors from the restaurant.  

    The restaurant was fairly busy (go figure for $1.39 Al Pastor tacos).  Like most Mexican restaurants they brought us out an order of chips w/3 salsas.  Both my wife and I ordered 3 Al Pastor tacos.  

    I'm basing my review solely on the tacos.  I'm surprised that Taqueria Amigo Chino is only rated 2 1/2 stars.  The tacos that came to table were very good.  They were loaded w/Al Pastor, onions & cilantro on 2 corn tortillas.  The pork was very good w/a nice crispy texture.  The service was good, good food w/street parking along Central Avenue.  Remember Monday or Thursday for Al Pastor Tacos for $1.39

    This place is horrible. The food was all very hard and not amusing at all. I spoke to the so called "manager" and she said that they can't refund anything, all they can do is give me 2 tacos for the 5 tacos that we did not touch. Horrible management, horrible food, and even worse customer service. Stay out of this place.
