Just two minutes from Marietta High School, 3 Amigos is a beloved local Mexican restaurant known for its flavorful dishes and refreshing drinks. If you haven’t visited before, here’s what makes 3 Amigos a standout spot and why it should be on your list to try.
Maria Cunningham, daughter of the owners, plans to take over 3 Amigos soon.
“The best part of 3 Amigos is how friendly the atmosphere is. It’s very family oriented, and we love being a part of the community,” Cunningham said.
The restaurant is very involved with Marietta High School, sponsoring many sports teams and student groups. Students appreciate seeing familiar faces and enjoying the sense of community.
“Whenever I go to 3 Amigos, I always see families or teachers I know. It’s like a gathering place for Marietta,” student Avery Walker said.
Street tacos are the most popular dish at 3 Amigos, but nachos and queso dip are also customer favorites. Cunningham also highly recommends the chilaquiles, calling it “an underrated dish—not many people know about it, but it’s very good.” The dishes are expertly prepared, with crispy textures and bold flavors. Guests also appreciate the Mexican buffet and a variety of dietary-friendly options like the veggie burrito and vegan tacos.
The staff at 3 Amigos is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help the customer choose the perfect meal. The vibrant decorations and lively music create a welcoming environment, making it the ideal spot for a group hangout or a family dinner.
“I love 3 Amigos because of the large space for big groups,” Spanish teacher and MHS alum Mrs. Berry said.
If you don’t have time to dine in you can always order 3 Amigos to-go or their catering as well.
“A couple years ago I went to a Christmas party and we were going to get catering from a restaurant for a lot of people, but then all of the sudden the catering company told us they couldn’t reach us. Everyone started freaking out because we didn’t have any food to serve, so the people hosting the event went to 3 Amigos and within 15 minutes they brought us catered food and basically saved the event,” student Naomi Avella said.
Overall, 3 Amigos is a fun, family-friendly place to gather. With delicious, affordable food and excellent service, it’s a go-to spot for fans of local Mexican cuisine and lively community events.
