Los Tres Amigos Express near the Frandor Shopping Center.
J rarely gets a holiday off, but this year, she actually got to celebrate Memorial Day. We spent the morning running errands and ended up in East Lansing. When it came time for lunch, I asked what she was in the mood for. She said she didn’t care, but Mexican sounded good. Last week, when we were in Frandor getting her ring sized, I noticed a Los Tres Amigos tucked into a tiny strip mall outside of the Frandor shopping center. Since we had to head back that way, it’s what I chose for lunch.
Los Tres Amigos Express is on Clippert Street between Saginaw and Grand River. It’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it and it took a few times around the block to get in the right parking lot. Once we did get parked, we questioned whether this was a sit down restaurant or a take out. You can’t see anything from the door, but once we got inside, we found tables along with an order counter, so you can sit an eat.
While there is an order counter, we were told to take a seat and the waiter would be right over. Los Tres Amigos Express isn’t really decorated like a Mexican restaurant. It’s pretty bland and could pass for just about any take out place. It looks like you used to order your food directly from the kitchen and kind of did the assembly line thing, but that’s not the case anymore. We grabbed a table and looked over the paper menus on the table while our waiter got the Cokes and we snacked on the complimentary chips and salsa. I really like Los Tres’ salsa. It’s a smooth salsa that’s got a little bit of a kick. It’s kind of a happy medium between what I like and what J likes. Read the rest of this entry »
