Mi Gente

"Today was the first time I have been to the restaurant. I frequently visited the food truck! The restaurant is off the charts! The service was outstanding as was the food. I had the steak fajita egg rolls and Mexican chocolate cake! Both were 10+! You can taste the love that goes into each dish! I will be back! I’m taking my book club there in February!"

"My girlfriends and I go out to dinner on Wednesday nights. We decided to give Mi Gente a try and we were beyond pleased that we did. Miguel was our waiter....and he was awesome. We each ordered something different so we could try mulitiple dishes. WOW!!!!!! We loved every bite of every selection. Atmosphere was nice. Very open and very clean!!! We are going back next Wednesday. Give it a try! You will love it!!!"

"Was looking for a place to eat while I stayed at a hotel in downtown Amarillo and came across Mi Gente. Did a little bit of reading and it looks like this was a stand-alone food truck but they recently acquired a store front. The menu was intriguing so I figured I'd give it a shot. It was easy to find with the food truck parked right out front, which is where the food is cooked, then brought inside to your table. I was immediately greeted by a fresh modern atmosphere, a very friendly waiter, and super hip Latin American music. They had specials listed on the counter and the Ahi tacos caught my eye. I told the waitress I was torn between the Ahi Tacos and the carnitas and she recommended the Ahi. The tacos were quickly brought out and they were AMAZING. Partway through my meal she brought out a single carnitas taco for me to try since I had asked about them when I first came in. It too was very tasty, but not as good as the Ahi tacos. I finished things up with the Nutella empanadas which were a perfect way to round things out. Chatted with the chef for a minute and he was just as friendly as the waitress. All in all a really great experience. The staff were super friendly and welcoming and the food was probably worth more than it cost considering just how amazing it tasted."

"I'll start by saying that I want Mi Gente to succeed and I want to go back. Service and atmosphere were great! My wife and I were greeted at the door (by the owner?) and it felt like she knew who we were even though we had never met. Very welcoming! Our server was Jonathan and he was great! We ordered tostones as an appetizer and loved them! I ordered Carnitas tacos and my wife ordered the Pig Plate. Food was good but portions were a bit small. The carnitas tacos came with 2 tacos and rice and beans. Maybe I've bought into an unwritten rule but I was expecting 3 tacos (should've asked) especially for $15 . The pig plate came with 3 bao buns, 3 slices of pork belly and a fairly large portion of carnitas. We swore that the menu included jasmine rice on the pig plate but it was not delivered to our table. We asked (not Jonathan but the lady who brought our food out) to be sure and were told "No it just comes with bao." We checked the menu after we left just to see if we had made a mistake but rice was listed. Maybe our server got it wrong or maybe someone forgot to update the menu but for $28, we expected a bit more from that plate. Overall a decent experience. Will probably be back to try other things."
