Amigos Mexican Restaurant & Steakhouse in South Lakeland

Very good food. Lovely atmosphere. Small quaint intimate restaurant with ‘cellar bar’ for arrivals and/or drinks. Can imagine lovely outdoor experiences in the courtyard in summer and drier months. Excellent food. Preordering food is different obviously to most places but where initially it felt like it slightly disadvantaged the experience because it is nice to sit down and discuss the menu with others. However, the food came so much quicker after sitting down to eat that actually preordering was advantageous in some regard.

We've visited this place four times now and already have a visit planned for Christmas time. Firstly, you need to book ahead of time, pay a deposit and pre-order your food. If nothing else this saves time. The place is quite small so tables are at a premium. The place has quirky decor but tables aren't cramped. The main dining room is upstairs so it can be a little tricky for anyone with a mobility issue. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We've always been made to feel very welcome. A real highlight for us are the cocktails - the rhubarb and custard or Coronitas are our personal favourites. And of course the light up cactus is a fun way of letting staff know that you need their attention.

Great communication ahead of the night, really accommodating of our needs and the food/service was great on the night. Thank you very much x

Just delightful. Lovely food, staff were great and the environment was super. Will be back.

My favourite restaurant in South Cumbria. The food is faultless, the cocktails are beautifully made and staff are never without a smile. Can't wait to come back! Would recommend in a heartbeat if you are looking for fantastic, authentic Mexican food with great service.

Had a very enjoyable meal here for my daughter's birthday. The food was amazing and the staff were all friendly and keen to look after you. There was a double big table of people in at the same time as us, which made it a bit loud, and also, I could see they were struggling with service a bit. They did seat us later than we anticipated, and service took a while considering we had preordered. I am putting that down to the large group, but it wouldn't put me off going again. The main thing was my daughter had a great birthday meal and enjoyed every second.

Really great selection of food. Quality of food was excellent and very tasty. Staff were fantastic. Will definitely go again

Brilliant restaurant, lovely staff and the food is great.

Pre booked as requested. Had the ribs to start which were hotter than the centre of the sun when they arrived. They were inedible for a good ten minutes. Yes they were tasty but one piece was just a massive piece of bone. The mains were nice although not very big. Portray themselves as Gluten Free friendly. Step daughter was ill afterwards which undoubtably shows cross contamination somewhere. Shame as decor and ambience is nice. Staff friendly and attentive. If you are a sensitive GF person and it is medical rather than being trendy then I’d avoid.

Really enjoyed our experience at Amigos! The decor of the restaurant was great. Can’t fault the service. Was told by the waiter that they were closed for two weeks and had just reopened and couldn’t tell that it was their first night back open. The food was extremely tasty and really good portion size.

Great place to eat, but you must book as there is limited space. Food excellent, and despite a small hiccup with one of the main meals, we would absolutely return.

Very warm and friendly welcome. Food fantastic. Cocktails awesome. Owners a pleasure to talk to.

Great and friendly service, and brilliant food. We would recommend this restaurant to anybody who likes good food and a great atmosphere. Thank you, Theo, Laura, and all the staff 😊 🙂👍🏻

Excellent food and friendly attentive customer service. It was good to see Amigos so busy and the atmosphere was great. We will visit again soon.

Visited Amigos last night (12.6.24) -Staff service was perfect. -Atmosphere exactly what you, family frendly and as you'd expect in a Mexican restaurant. -decor style is charming and fitting to the theme. -Mojitos tasted amazing! I could have kept drinking them all night. -Food was absolutely superb! as we preordered it came to our table promptly. I requested a bean chimichanga and was told they were happy to accommodate, I was not disappointed. -portion sizes are well rounded, and presented like works of art! We were all absolutely stuffed when leaving the restaurant, and cant wait to return in the near future! Thank you to the whole Amigos team! See you again soon!

Amazing night! All our starters and mains were perfect! Everything tasted gorgeous and the staff were all really friendly. Beautiful cocktails too! Thank you 🤩

Love Amigos. Love that it’s one of my favourite places and lucky that it’s one of my local restaurants. Delicious freshly cooked food, lovely staff and good service. Cracking spot!

Have been loads and love it here. One of the best places to eat in the area and we have some great places. Brilliant atmosphere and amazing food with lovely staff.

Never had a bad meal here. Amazing food, drink and ambience. Love it and can't wait to go back.

Best Mexican I’ve ever been too!! Staff and service is perfect, always look forward to visiting amigos

Amazing chicken chimichanga Cocktails are incredible Lovely staff

Amazing food, atmosphere, staff and delicious cocktails! Well done keep up the fantastic work 🌵♥️

Visited here for the first time since moving to Ulverston 6 months ago and definitely made it to the top of the list of local restaurants. Food and service both awesome. Must try.

The food was good but the pre-ordering of food requirement and the actual taking of £10/head deposit is completely unjustified in our opinion. All the cards are stacked in favour of the restaurant and the customer seems to be constantly warned of the limitations of the small kitchen and lack of staff to provide good service. I also didn’t like the clear attempt by the staff to make me feel guilty for not following their request to pre-order. I’m local and won’t be going again.

Last minute decision to come out for food, we were lucky to get a table as this was really busy, even on a Weds night! We didn’t have time to do the pre order, but the staff were really friendly and accommodating. Really good food, despite not pre ordering we weren’t waiting for too long, and staff really friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend

Went to Amigos for dinner with my partner and a friend and the food was delicious, as it usually is here. The portions are quite large so we struggled to finish a starter and a main and ended up sharing some Churros for dessert. Between us we had Nachos, Chorizo & Black Pudding, Chicken Fajitas, Beef Enchiladas, Chicken Chimichanga and the shared Churros; every course was scrumptious.

Wonderful decor and staff are so welcoming , got a cocktail and WOW , it was amazing. Meal came prompt and did not disappoint it was beautiful and staff couldn’t do enough for us !! Loved it here and definitely come back very soon

We have eaten here many times before, its our favourite resturant in Ulverston. Food is amazing full of flavour and cooked perfectly. All the staff are so friendly and can't do enough. A really pleasurable experience. Lovely place

Quirky restaurant, very pleasant staff, fabulous cocktails, food was delicious, and dog friendly! Would highly recommend!

Absolutely gorgeous food!! The staff were so nice and really welcoming!! Definitely will return!! Also try the churros they are amazing!! 🤩

Absolutely beautiful meal. Everything was lovely and fresh. All 5 of us had something different - enchiladas, fajitas, Barbacoa bowl, nachos. Different sides too. Paid deposit and sent in preorder. Friendly service with a smile 😃 definitely worth a visit.

Such a great restaurant with gorgeous food. We had all starters to share as a tapas main between 3, and everything was brilliant. Lovely,kind,friendly staff and quick service.

When we go out to eat in a restaurant we like being able to look at the menu and choose our food at the time based on what we feel like eating at the time. At Amigos the whole process of having to order all our food in detail for 6 people 24 hours before was very time consuming and stressful. You need to decide on every little detail like whether you want cheese on your nachos or not. On the day I really felt like having an extra side salad but I had not ordered it 24 hours earlier. Shame. The food was good but not that great to go through all this hassle of ordering beforehand and paying a deposit of £10 per person. Based on all the good reviews on here we decided to try it anyway. The other problem with this restaurant was that there is no step free access into the restaurant and we had a disabled guest with us. It was pouring down with rain that evening and we had to help her down wet steps to get into the basement and then help her up very steep stairs from the cellar into the main restaurant. The restaurant is tiny and there is very little space to move, to the point I felt claustrophobic sitting in the corner not being able to move my legs and arms and facing only the wall. Our booking was at 7.30 but our drinks finally arrived at 7.55 so it was a very long wait just for our drinks. Overall an awful dinner experience for all of us. But the food was mostly good and the kids loved the kids menu and very good desserts like the Affogato with churros. The beef enchiladas were nothing special and lacked flavour (we’ve had much better enchiladas in other restaurants). Lovely friendly staff. But no way we would return there again.

This place is very quirky with its decoration but it gets you talking. The staff couldn't do enough for you and the light system they have going on is a brilliant idea. The food was outstanding and you could tell everything including the salsa and guacamole was homemade. The bar staff can make any of the cocktails as mocktails and they don't taste any different. It's definitely worth the money.

We all decided we on Mexican as one of our meals out whilst visiting the Lakes, quick research and it’s obvious this is the place to visit, plus it was close to our accommodation. Booking online was easy, Tracey was on hand for any questions regarding our booking, pre ordering wasn’t an issue, all our requests were looked after perfectly, the children were very happy. Easy to find, parking is close. Nice entrance at the rear courtyard, down the steps, welcomed by a friendly face, funky music and cozy bar where we had our pre dinner drinks. Upstairs the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, loved the decor. Food was soon on our table and we enjoyed it all! We ordered far too much and the portions are great value. The sweet ribs, I scooped the sauce like a soup! Kids food was generous and tasty, adults food was very good, tasty, home cooked, well presented and plentiful. Service was prompt and friendly, they had a clever system of Turing on your cactus table light to get service! Perfect. We were all stuffed, but we shared the chorrus tower for dessert, it’s was the perfect pudding to share and finish with! Thanks and wish we were closer. Great finish to holiday.

Everything was great from start to finish. Easy to book & pre order for a large party. Cocktails were great, service was quick and the food was AMAZING. Best meal I have had out in a while! So tasty. Accommodated me for allergies as well really easily which I sometimes find difficult when going out for a meal. Can't wait to return!

Pre-booking is essential. You will also need to submit your food choices 24 hours before you dine, which we thought was pretty silly as you may change your mind on the day. They say this is to cut down on food wastage and keep prices lower, however the prices are already on the more expensive side. The food was okay, but not very authentically Mexican. The beef barbacoa didn't have much flavour. Service was great, however. I don't think we'll be returning.

There with friends for the evening x We had a fantastic meal, everything was delicious and up to their really high standards x Great place, great staff and excellent food x highly recommend x

What a lovely place. The staff are cheerful and welcoming. Service efficient without being obvious. Love their way of getting the staff's attention. Lovely food, food pre ordered and so arrives in good time. We were there for a 'leaving' do and it was lovely.

Had a great night here with family. Friendly staff, drinks and food was excellent. Very enjoyable, I would highly recommend a visit. Had a jug of blue lagoon and thought the shark in it was brilliant. We were last to leave and had a little dance with my wife when no one was around only to have the kitchen staff come out and compliment us on our moves as they could see the dining room on CCTV which gave us a laugh and embarrassed our grown up children.

The restaurant is run like a well oiled machine. All orders sent in before via email. Greeted by happy staff on the bar before being escorted to your table upstairs. The food is amazing, the service is fabulous and has great atmosphere.

Amazing food; personal favourite is the lemon chilli chicken nachos, they are just delicious! Cocktails as always flowed well and were tasty. Highly recommend the rhubarb custard cocktail!

Came in without a reservation tonight and they managed to fit us in. Lucky for us because the food was delicious, nice drinks, friendly atmosphere and pleasant (non-cheesy) background music. Recommended.

Amigos is always a pleasure to visit, great friendly staff and fabulous food. It's a definite must visit for locals and visitors alike. Prices are sensible so within budget but no skimping on quality.

We very much enjoyed our evening at Amigos on Saturday evening. Lovely food and great atmosphere. We were welcomed on arrival and offered drinks in the bar. We all had one of their fabulous cocktails. The service at our table was good and we all had nachos followed by fajitas and then churros. All round great evening.

I was very lucky to secure a late cancellation on the same day, excellent food 5 star ⭐️ and service, love the atmosphere nothing too much trouble, will always return, had a desert for the first time ever and the churros we’re delicious 😋

We (party of 4) had a great time at Amigos on Friday evening. The staff were warm and welcoming when we arrived. They were eager to serve us at the downstairs bar and they had a wide range of drinks to choose from. We were seated upstairs on time and our pre ordered food came out shortly after. The food was presented very well and tasted just as good. The steaks were cooked perfectly and were nice and thick. Supplied by a local butcher (the owner Tracy informed us). The Enchiladas, starters and side salads were all perfect and looked to have been lovingly crafted. The restaurant staff were attentive, happy, smiley and funny. Can’t wait to go back again.

Working in Ulverston and amigos was recommended by one of the locals. It didn't disappoint, staff very friendly and food was excellent. Would recommend a visit if you're in town.

The evening at Amigos was brilliant from start to finish......the service, the drinks and especially the food.....wow! Great birthday meal and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Ulverston. 🍻🍸😁😋

Great food, locally sourced and friendly people.

Large crowd of us went for a family celebration. Bar area is well set out and well decorated so looks really inviting when you arrive. Quick and efficient service from smiling staff. Beautifully presented food using high quality ingredients-every person commented on the lovely meals served. Highly recommended.

A friendly place staff very good food authentic Mexican and very tasty well priced good choice of drinks a good experience

Fantastic evening at this restaurant, food was amazing, we had Prawn Tacos which was really spicy and the Beef bowl, service was also great

Great food. Brilliant service. Pre ordered so the food was ready pretty much as soon as we sat down. Will definitely be back.

A lovely restaurant with a cosy bar, marvelous cocktails! We were a large group and so pre ordered. Very well organised, food great, attentive staff team, who looked after us well and ensured a great night was had by all. Would highly recommend. Thank you.x

Highly recommend Amigos. The food is delicious & the service is fantastic! The staff are very friendly & helpful. Cocktails are amazing, potentially the BEST margarita I’ve ever had! We pre-ordered as we were a larger table & the food arrived almost as soon as...

Amazing food, drinks and service, we are slowly working our way through the menu, so we will be back very soon, for another fab night 😃

Very tasty, filling food and excellent cocktails! Lovely cosy atmosphere and friendly staff, pre order meant that the food was nice and quick too.

Tracy the host looked after our booking of 20 people for a 50th birthday meal. Helpful from the start and easy to organise. Food was outstanding as always. One of the best places to eat out in town!

We asked for a voucher for our Xmas present to come. They squeezed us in pritty last minute. Me and my partner loved the food and drinks. Was worth the child free time. Food came quick. We had the lovely little snug area which is...

Amigos came highly recommended and it didn’t fail to live up to the hype. Great food and service made it a fab night. Thanks for a great meal and great night. 5/5

Always wanted to go so I used the wife’s birthday as an excuse, I’m glad I did as the food was A1 and good service too, will return deffo

We love visiting Amigos when ever we are visiting Ulverston, lovely delicious food served and prepared to a high standard..Our most recent visit for our anniversary was excellent and the ambience and service added to our special day..

We went to celebrate my husband’s 40th and we had a fantastic night, lovely food and the staff went above and beyond, they even came out dressed as chilli peppers and singing happy birthday which my husband will definitely remember 😁

We had a delicious meal with great service. The food really was fantastic, and pre-ordering the day before to avoid waste felt like a step in the right direction for the industry and made for a lovely experience in the restaurant. We'll definitely be returning!

Fab night as always. The staff are so lovely and the food is delicious, so tasty and plenty of it. Michaela makes the best cocktails xxx

Yet again a wonderful night at Amigos Mexican Restaurant, with three lovely friends. It was busy, but the staff were always smiling and checking that we had every thing we required. The food was gorgeous, as usual and we washed it down with a couple...

kamil and zayan amazing workers

I love Mexican food and the decor and atmosphere of this place is great, but I always leave disappointed. The food pre-ordering procedure is tedious and unjustified given the small and repetitive menu. Drinks take an age to arrive and food only has an average quality. If you're unlucky enough to dine early, the pressure will be on to vacate your table. Quite annoying when you've spent most of your time waiting for service

Delicious food and amazing staff. Best part was the cocktails, when asked what the cocktail of the day is, they reply was "anything you want it to be".

I said I would be back, however this time as a party of 30 for Xmas do. Food and drink served efficiently and the quality of the food was excellent. Can't fault this place in any way.

Fantastic meal with a great atmosphere. We had our works Christmas meal at Amigos last night and the experience was fantastic right from the get go. Amigos were very communicative, friendly and helpful throughout. All the staff are absolute stars and the evening was fab. Amigos always delivers great food, moreish cocktails and smiles galore. Would highly recommend for a special occasion with friends. Five stars all round ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Truely delicious food and great service.

Great food with a fabulous atmosphere , really enjoyed our meal and will be back again - thank you x

Fabulous food with excellent service!

My husband and i visited amigos last week with friends and had an amazing meal and drinks (the strawberry mijitos had me right back on the beach in mexico 😍) the service was fabulous and staff lovely. Everyone needs to try this place, would highly recommend and I can't wait to go back again!

Amazing food, starters and main courses for everyone were perfect, service was excellent, would highly recommend

I was taken here for my birthday last month. It's not your usual restaurant as you start in the basement and get taken to your table when the food is ready. Service is quick and polite. Food was presented very well. We would definitely visit again.

Fabulous food, big portions, didn't really need a starter, welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere and surroundings,

Amazing food. 👏 Went for my son's 18th birthday 🎂 with a party of 13 people which they accommodated very well for a small venue. Preordering the food (which was requested) made food service super efficient. Would definitely go again as haven't sampled everything from the menu yet 😋

Excellent service as always, food is so good and came out absolutely stuffed, amazing staff, great setting 😀

We were so impressed with this restaurant. We originally contacted for a table but was told they were fully booked. However, they did manage to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. They have a wonderful girl on the bar. She was very friendly and smiley. When you arrive you are seated in the bar and taken up to the restaurant when your food is ready. The restaurant is lovely and loved the deco throughout. The food was incredible. I had sticky ribs which were so delicious followed by the chimichangas. All the staff that served us was lovely. We had one more cocktail in the bar before we left. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you for making room for us.

Had a lovely dinner here with me, my husband, and our 2 kids. Lots on the menu for all of us and really friendly service. I had the loaded nachos, and on the table we also had the chimichanga, and kids wraps. Would've been lovely to sit upstairs the full time but understand they have limited space, and ordering downstairs works pretty well.

Great selection on the menu, food and drinks were exceptional and the service was also matched. Will go again!

Hi different from any restaurant I’ve been in before. The staff brilliant nothing was to much trouble. And very friendly Great atmosphere in the whole place. We had nachos and sticky ribs as starter great starter. Good sized portions and very tasty Fajitas and enchiladas for mains with side of chips and onion rings. Beautiful very tasty scolding hot and spiced for us just right We looked at a dessert but in all honesty having one would have just been being greedy as we were both comfortably full We would certainly come here again

Fantastic in all departments. Can’t wait to return next time we’re in the area.

The four of us (all guys in our 60's) go out of a meal every couple of months and try different cuisine or restaurants that we haven't been to before. Amigos proved to be a great find and a real gem. We all enjoyed everything about our experience and I honestly don't have a bad word to say. We will be going back and bringing our wives next time 👍

Awesome experience here, waiter was really nice and polite, Michaela was literally the happiest person behind a bar I’ve ever seen! Food 10/10, very reasonable prices, will definitely return when next in Ulverston.

Great friendly service, nice atmosphere, but we came for the food which was all out of a packet, not fresh or flavoursome. All reheated or not made in-house. Considering the competition around the corner, they should think about improving their menu.

Great food, friendly service, loved it.

I feel a lot of the dishes use the same ingredients, but atmosphere and service was good.

Everything was amazing. The food was so tasty and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back soon!

Ribs for starter - piping hot and very delicous Beef Bowl for main - piping hot but not much flavour. Service was done via a light up cactus on the table which was sometimes ignored and took us a while to get served even though it was pre-ordered. Overall a decent meal with friends. Service could have been better. I also think pricing needs to be looked at because the beef bowl was £17 which didn't have much meat or flavour.

Great service from start to finish. Amazing food , great waiting , drinks people. All I can say is superb and thanks to all!🌞😊🙏

Food was very good and reasonably priced. There was a couple of things that made this place unique. One was having to email our order through 24 hours beforehand, and the other was a light up cactus on the table, which you switched on to indicate you needed service. Even with the light up cactus, service was a little slow at times, but that was the only fault. The atmosphere was great, good selection of drinks. Would love to return.

First class service and food, attentive without asking every 5 minutes if everything was ok. We really liked the cactus tree light which you used if you wanted any attention. Will certainly return.
