An institution in Jakarta, Amigos opened its doors in 1979. This Tex-Mex eatery has a loyal fan base of expats and locals alike, and is famous for serving Jakarta’s best margaritas as well as classic Tex-Mex cuisine, including burritos, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, nachos, beef ribs, fresh salsa, and other tasty, finger-licking, home-made recipes.
Originally known as “The Green Pub,” Amigos changed its name in the early 1980’s when an Indonesian regulation prohibited the use of foreign words in company names. While Amigos means “Friends” in Spanish, it is also an acronym for “Ajang Makan, Minum, Gosip,” which translated to English means “A Place to Eat, Drink and Gossip,” and the ambiance is true to both definitions.
