The food, as mentioned, wasn't terrible - if you could suspend your expectations of what is generally considered mexican food. The founding principles of mexican food (IMO) were lacking: cheese was sparse, salsa not spicy, burrito questionably mysterious... even the beer left a little something to be desired with the quality of lime. The prices seemed high for the quality and quantity served. Also, bizarrely, despite speaking to them in Chinese, they would always answer in English (I am white, though, so maybe that threw them off).<BR/><BR/>Anyhow - I would recommend Amigos only if you crave something only vaguely mexican. I will still go out in search of mexican food in Taipei, but it may be a while before I can again muster the courage.
