Residents of East Lansing rejoiced when Los Tres Amigos came to town last summer. It marked the first genuine Mexican cuisine restaurant to make its way onto the main stretch of Grand River Ave. For a campus that frequents Taco Bell, a slightly higher grade Mexican restaurant was a welcome change.
Los Tres Amigos is an excellent dining opportunity for a myriad of reasons. First, I can say that I have tried almost every single combination platter they provide (there are almost 30) and have never once been disappointed. The beef burritos are probably my personal favorite, and I would recommend the cheese sauce that comes optional.
A great aspect of Los Tres Amigos is that the salsa is homemade at the restaurant. This makes for not only a fresh tasting salsa, but an ever changing salsa. My friends and I have noted that the salsa tastes a little different each time we visit. The fact that the chips and salsa come at the beginning of the meal and are included free of charge are major pluses.
Los Tres Amigos is, shockingly, almost as affordable as Taco Bell. When you consider the portions received and the free chips and salsa, the two are comparable. I went with two friends to Los Tres Amigos about a week ago. We each ordered a combo, easily enough to satisfy more appetites. Along with our free chips and salsa, we purchased a margarita pitcher to share. So, what did three big meals and a pitcher cost us? The bill was around $15. With tip, we owed a little over $6 each... and that was to get stuffed and have a couple margaritas!
The restaurant features a full bar and several high definition televisions, making it a nice place to take in a game. I would definitely recommend the Los Tres Amigos experience. You can find an in-depth review of some of their menu items HERE.
