I assume your not looking for a steak house in Wickford Bjorn, here is some mention of a Mr. Peignaux who was apparently one of the Amigo's.

Los Amigos was a loosely co-op between a gang of drivers , on/off like J.Simone , J.Lucas , JPeron , A Roboly , M.Sparken , A.Guelfi etc. Up to 1958 they had 20 LM starts between them.

Ecurie Los Amigos was a loosely organized group of enthusiasts, headquartered in Paris in the early 50s. It included drivers Jean Lucas [also a former Gordini team manager], Jacques Peron, Armand Roboly, Mike Sparken, Andre Guelfi and Paris born-American Johnny Simone. They all brought their own cars into the team.
A few years ago I received the team's lapel pin, courtesy of Francois Sicard. It consisted of a light blue circle which represented a steering wheel with the words Los Amigos and a parrot in red headgear/outfit with white gloves. In its left hand is what looks like a wrench.
