About Amiga Mexican Restaurant & Bar
Amiga Mexican Restaurant & Bar sits on Battersea Rise as a Mexican restaurant and bar bringing a taste of Tulum to Clapham. The kitchen runs from chicken croquettes and nachos with beef to Baja fish tacos, with pork belly tacos and steak tacos as recurring plates. Vegetarian starters include cauliflower tacos, guacamole with leek and potato croquettes, and padron peppers, while tuna tostadas and BBQ'd ribs round out the menu. The bar pours mezcal drinks and tequila shots alongside a spicy margarita, served frozen or on the rocks, and the El Cartel, a coriander-based margarita. Waitstaff handle table service throughout the room. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, keeping the format casual and geared toward dropping by rather than booking ahead.

“First time here and simply delicious. You need to give this a try if you are looking for good Mexican food. The restaurant has a great vibe to it and the staff are very nice. Era was our waiter and she was lovely. We ordered the 0% margarita - delicious!! To eat we had the chicken croquettes, nachos with beef, grilled Bbq pork wings, and baja fish tacos. Every single item was seriously so delicious, fresh, well seasoned, good ingredients, and overall just amazing. We booked through the fork and got 50% off but do note you have to come early or late in the day.”

Customer Review Summary
Spicy margaritas draw the most mentions at Amiga, with reviewers praising the frozen spicy margarita and one warning that the spicy margs are genuinely spicy. A mezcal drink, the coriander-based El Cartel cocktail and the 0% margarita also earn praise, and one reviewer singles out the tequila. Close behind is the food, with tacos named most often: pork belly, steak, baja fish and cauliflower. Diners also pick out the guacamole, leek and potato croquettes, chicken croquettes, padron peppers, tuna tostadas, bbq ribs and grilled pork wings. One reviewer says the cooking reminded them of eating in Mexico, and another calls the portions generous. Service is described as friendly and swift, with the server and the owner both getting thanks for their chat. Reviewers also mention a buzzy atmosphere and good music, and several say they plan to return as regulars. The only criticism is a wish for a second vegetarian taco beyond the cauliflower one, and one reviewer notes a booking discount that applied only early or late in the day.
