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.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently point to the spicy margarita as the standout, with the frozen spicy version, the coriander-forward El Cartel, and a mezcal pour also drawing praise. Close behind, tacos come up repeatedly, from baja fish and pork belly to steak and cauliflower tacos, alongside starters like chicken croquettes, nachos with beef, BBQ pork wings, guacamole, and padron peppers. Several describe generous portions and swift, friendly service, with servers singled out by reviewers for warmth and menu knowledge, and many call it a spot they'd return to or turn into a regular haunt. One reviewer wished for an additional vegetarian taco option beyond the cauliflower one, and another notes booking through a discount platform requires an early or late time slot. The recurring close: reviewers repeatedly say they'll be back soon.

“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.”
