Description

Nestled in Vernonia near Anderson Park, this bustling Mexican eatery — anchored by a popular food truck and casual bakery — serves authentically seasoned, generously portioned dishes like chimichangas, al pastor burritos, tortas and carnitas tacos. Diners praise fresh, hot food, shareable portions, divine guacamole and a fiery habanero salsa, plus covered outdoor seating ideal for families and campers. Service is quick at the truck but can be inconsistent for to‑go orders; the bakery and lack of a medium-heat salsa draw occasional criticism.

If you find yourself in Vernonia, you absolutely must stop by El Amigo. It offers the best authentic Mexican food in Columbia County, no exaggeration! Be sure to try the Tacos de Carnitas for yourself—I think you'll agree!

On July 23, 2023, we discovered this food truck while returning from a motorcycle trip. The spacious outdoor seating area with a roof caught our attention, making it an ideal spot for enjoying a meal on a sunny day. We ordered the Chimichanga, Alpastor Burrito, and Pig-shaped Cookies. Each dish was huge and satisfying, and we had a fantastic experience overall.
