— accessibility statement —

Everyone is welcome at Amigos.

That's not a slogan — it's an operational commitment. We want every guest to be able to come in, order, eat, and feel comfortable in our space. If something doesn't work for you, tell us. We'll listen and, wherever we can, fix it.

At the restaurant.

The building has been ours since 2019 and every renovation we've done has factored accessibility in from the start — not retrofitted later. That said, it's a small older building, and there are still a few things we can't perfectly solve without a bigger construction project. We're honest about both the features and the limits.

✓

Step-free entrance

The front door on Bent Street is level and step-free. The threshold is under half an inch and there's no vestibule to negotiate.

✓

Accessible restroom

One ADA-compliant restroom with a 36-inch door, grab bars, and enough turning space for a wheelchair. Not a "family restroom" compromise — a proper one.

✓

Reachable butcher counter

Counter height is 34 inches, low enough for a wheelchair or a shorter guest to see and pay directly. The case is glass-fronted so you can point at what you want.

✓

Accessible seating

Several tables are at wheelchair-friendly height with clear 36-inch aisles around them. Staff will move chairs or clear space on request.

✓

Service animals

Always welcome, everywhere in the restaurant. No questions asked about task training. Well-behaved non-service dogs are welcome on the front patio, but not inside — Wyoming health code.

✓

Accessible parking

One accessible space in the small lot behind the building, plus free street parking on Bent with curb access. The back lot is paved and level.

✓

Large-print menus

Available on request — ask at the counter. The full menu is also on this site and works with screen readers. Braille menus are not currently available.

✓

Staff training

All front-of-house staff are trained on common accommodation requests, reading menus aloud when asked, and basic American Sign Language greetings. If you need something specific, ask.

On the website.

This website has been designed to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That means, in practice: semantic HTML throughout, sufficient color contrast, keyboard navigable interfaces, focus states that are visible, meaningful alt text on decorative and content images, no reliance on color alone to convey information, and no autoplay media.

Specific features include: skip-to-content links on every page, ARIA labels on interactive controls, screen-reader announcements for form status messages, form validation errors that are programmatically associated with their fields, and a cart drawer that traps focus properly and returns it when closed.

We test with keyboard navigation only (no mouse), VoiceOver on macOS, and NVDA on Windows. We have not yet tested with every screen reader or assistive technology in use, and we'd genuinely welcome reports of any issues we've missed.

We do not use any overlay plugins — the sort that claim to "make your site accessible with one line of code." Those don't work, and they make real accessibility harder. Our work is done in the HTML and CSS itself.

What we're still working on.

In the interest of honesty: there are things we haven't solved yet. These are the ones we know about, and what we're doing about them.

Braille menus. We'd like to have them but production costs at a small scale are prohibitive. We're exploring printing options and hope to have them by next year.

Hearing loop. The dining room is loud on weekend evenings and can be difficult for guests with hearing aids. A loop system is in the budget for the next renovation cycle, but not yet installed.

Website translation. The site is English-only for now. Spanish is the most commonly requested alternative and we're evaluating a proper translation, not a machine one.

Patio access. Once the patio is built, we're committing to full accessibility on it as well — no separate entrance, same level as the dining room, accessible seating throughout.

Tell us what we missed.

— a direct line —

Accessibility feedback goes to a person.

If you've encountered an accessibility barrier on this site or at the restaurant, please tell us. It's not a support ticket — it goes to the owner's inbox, and every message gets a real response.

We aim to reply within two business days, and to fix website issues within two weeks when feasible. For urgent in-person needs, call the counter directly at (307) 899-3894 — we'd rather help you in the moment than have you wait on an email.
