You might also be lucky to see traditional entertainment such as a Mariachi band or dance event. They have daily specials, which is the perfect excuse to go back more than once!

Serving up delicious Mexican food since 2004, Si Amigos has local produce at its core. This family-friendly restaurant is a classic stop to enjoy the Mexican menu. It’s in a great location if you want to tear yourself away from the casinos for a few hours. The menu covers both lunch, dinner and specials. We think that the Mole Poblano on the specials menu is a sure-fire win.
