El Amigo in Düsseldorf generally receives high praise for its authentic Spanish cuisine, particularly its steaks and paella. Many diners highlight the quality of the meat, such as the Iberico steak and rump steak with cognac sauce, as well as the generous tapas portions. The outdoor seating area with heaters is frequently mentioned as a cozy and comfortable spot to enjoy a meal. However, service appears to be a point of contention; while some guests find the staff incredibly kind, others have reported instances of rudeness or feeling unwelcome, especially during busy periods. There are also conflicting reports on food quality, with some calling it the best in the city and others finding specific dishes disappointing. Despite these inconsistencies, it remains a popular choice for those seeking a traditional Spanish dining experience.
