Since 2011

Shared amongst friends

Amigos y Familia is a full-service restaurant serving elevated Mexican cuisine influenced by South American flavours. Since opening in December 2011, it has become a Hardware Lane destination for generous food, agave spirits and warm hospitality.

The three-level venue brings together underground and laneway dining with El Quiote Bar upstairs. Each space has its own atmosphere, united by a shared passion for great food and drinks.
