Home of the Square Taco
The signature square taco is more than a novelty. Amigos developed a special tortilla machine that cuts the dough into a square shape, allowing the folded tortilla to hold more filling while making it easier to eat.
The tortillas are made with just two traditional ingredients: freshly ground corn and water. Guests who prefer a crunchy taco can also order a traditional hard-shell option.
