Three Amigos in Waterloo is seriously starting to step up its game, and if you haven't been recently, you're missing out on what might be the best new dish in town. They finally added Queso de Birria to the menu, and believe me, it is absolutely life-changing. I've tried other versions of Birria tacos in the area, but hands down, Three Amigos delivers a flavor experience I haven't had since trying the real thing down in Mexico City. The richness of the slow-cooked meat, the perfect amount of quality cheese, and the deeply flavorful consommé set it apart immediately. In a town where Mexican restaurants are popping up all over the place—like La Cava, for instance—I've noticed quality dipping, especially with minimal cheese and lackluster recipes. Three Amigos, however, has always been a soli

11.99 gets you lettuce, 1 ounce of beef, 1 ounce of cheese, a few pieces of tomatoes. Very disappointed! Asked for sour cream the server told me $4 extra dollars. I asked for guacamole the server told me another $4.? They could have done a better job dressing it up!!! At the end, you’re paying $20 for a ground beef taco salad. Not worth it at all!!!

My Sister and I randomly selected to eat here and it did not disappoint. Tomas was very welcoming; he recommended really good food choices & margaritas. The dining area was very clean and employees came around frequently for upkeep in areas. The fresh hot food was amazing. I ordered the steak; it was seasoned and tender. Hands down, this hidden gem is one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants in the Cedar Valley.

It was a very smooth experience from start to finish Quick and friendly service. My daughter had the shrimp nachos and it was very good,my wife had the beef nachos and liked them very much. I had the Burrito Colorado and the large chunks of pork were delicious. Will be visiting again.
