Overall rating for baby friendly dining - 2.5/5
Los Amigos Mexican restaurant is a Hove staple for young and old, but for parents with babies and toddlers this is definitely just a daytime eatery. This may seem like common sense but sometimes you’d like to find a place to eat of an evening as a family, unfortunately, Los Amigos isn’t the place – but for lunch it was great!
We had no trouble at all finding somewhere to sit on a mid-week lunchtime, but if it had been more crowded, I doubt we would’ve fitted in the buggy too. The waitress was helpful and friendly, she made it clear they wouldn’t heat up our baby food for us but did provide hot water for us to do it ourselves, this is fair enough, a lot of places take this stance but a distinct lack of baby changing facilities made it clear the restaurant wasn’t fully embracing its younger clientele. They also brought us one of the provided highchairs on arrival although it was a bit grubby so points off for that.
The menu is extensive and predominantly Mexican food but they also do Spanish & Italian dishes too. It is slightly overpriced, but we were drawn in by their lunchtime offer and the food we ate; vegetable fajitas and a chicken, bacon & avocado wrap were above average.
They claim they do cater for children and there is a kids’ menu, but at any time other than lunchtime I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable taking a baby or toddler to Los Amigos. Maybe for older children it would be OK, but only for a special occasion, the prices mean this isn’t your everyday place.
Yummy Mummy tip – At the time of writing they have a lunchtime special offering a reasonable selection of sandwiches, wraps, fajitas and light dishes as well as a soft drink, or for those who aren’t fatigued, a small glass of wine all for £6.95.
