Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant is a long-running sit-down spot just off the Ditmars train where a big menu of tacos, enchiladas, and combo plates runs nightly until around 2:30 a.m. It’s less about scene and more about dependable, late-night Mexican with TVs and margaritas.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tacos Suaves Dorados, Chicken Tacos, Enchiladas Verdes
