Taqueria El Amigo is often cited by local food blogs and the Charlotte Five as one of the area’s best spots for street-style tacos and homemade tamales. The no-frills setting lets the food take center stage, with recipes rooted in family tradition and a rotating menu of daily specials. Guests consistently mention the al pastor and lengua tacos as standouts, and the friendly, neighborhood feel makes it a favorite for quick lunches and relaxed dinners alike.
