First time to new location: excellent and easier parking and big, big room.

Several tables for 12 for groups.

More items in the mexican store.

Went for the barbeque of course, since friday. Now they also have brisket sandwishes, along with the chicken, ribs.

We bought home a whole chicken, and l/2 rack of ribs for $20.90.

A little concerned that there were not more people there, as Friday and sunny. Would have had trouble finding it, but they have sign on redwood ave. with an arrow.

Continued excellence and very, very nice owners.

It pays to have good friends in the area. We were introduced to this place last night. Absolutely wonderful, authentic mexican and american BBQ. The BBQ is only on Fridays. The regular mexican menu is all week long. This would be 5 stars if it was a little nicer surroundings, but it is in a strip center, and typical of many mexican dining experiences. But the food is awesome. Our friends talked to the owner about giving us one of everything so we could really sample the food.

So I will rate the entrees one by one.

Tamales - good, have had better. but nice and fresh
Carne Asada Taco - awesome. These folks know how to make really wonderful tacos, and serve them with fresh lime, and great salsa on the side.
Carne Asada Burrito - this is usually my favorite dish at many mexican places. Here it is huge, and delicious. Definitely a meal.
3 meat Quesadilla - oh this is just the best I have ever had. So yummy and flavorful.
Mexican sandwich - now this has another name on their menu, but since it is the only sandwich offered, you will know what I am rating. It was also superb, on a grilled cuban style bread, with avocado and cilantro and several meats. Another meal in itself.
Enchilada - chicken - it was good. Again, not memorable, but almost everything else was.

On your first trip, I would definitely recommend splitting a few things with friends so you can try several of there wonderful dishes.

They don't advertise. They don't have a listing in the phone book, and your GPS won't even have them but they are at 1720 Redwood Avenue, Grants Pass. They are only open until 8 pm, so no late dining. Open for lunch and dinner. I did see lots of people coming in to get takeout.

This one is a keeper, for sure.

It is FRIDAY....barbeque day.

Scrumptous and reasonable price.

I now take my own containers for take out, so that the styrofoam does not leak in the car.

I bought enough for most of the week, and the food will be just as good in 3 days as today.

You are missing out if you don't go there, but they ran out of chicken by 2 pm and they were really crowded.

Full rack of ribs $15.95

Full chicken $10.95 and that comes with 2 sides and bread.

FRIENDLY owners ---- none better--- they even carried my goodies to the car.

AWESOME & DELICIOUS.

I wish I could rate them even higher.

This is Friday, the barbeque day.

There were maybe 150 there to partake. Yet the wait was less than 10 min.

I got the whole cut up chicken to go for $10.50. Exc. price. (Backdoor Barbeque is $18 for a whole chicken to go.) Have not tasted theirs, just saw prices on line.

It also comes with sides.

I said I had not tasted the ribs, and immediately I was brought one so surcombed to the half side. Good value at $9.95 with sides, but next time will get the whole side for $16.

So hot, yet Jose was grilling.

If you don't know about their friday barbeque, you are really missing out.

have not tried the reg. menu, as I am there on Fridays, but many were having mexican and not barbeque.

EXCELLENT and alot of Mexican food products also. It is like a quick trip to the MIssion District of San Francisco.

I really like this place. Their sopitos are great, CNW. I was looking forward to having them for dinner yesterday, but they were out of them. So I had a tostada, a fish taco, and a couple of pulques.

AFAIK, Casa Amiga is the only place where you can get pulque locally. Pulque is a drink made of fermented agave. It's more thirst quenching than beer because it's a little tart and not as carbonated. Next time you're there, try it! (And tell them you read about it on ILGP.)

Fantastic burritos, tamales, and cheese enchiladas, not to mention BBQ on Fridays.
Next I'm trying the sopitos and maybe the salad amiga after that. And the salsa...oh, the salsa.

Very good food and service in a friendly, relaxed environment. Brought the kiddo with me and she declared it the best, most authentic Mexican food she has had in GP. (She eats out a lot in Mexico!)

What a great place, tried this place tonight for the first time and the food was excellent. The waiter (Owner?) was very appreciative of us and was very funny. The food was enjoyed by all, even our young children.

Highly recommended.
