    We were sat at a cocktail table, right under the AC vent. Right next to a window with the people next to us, practically on top of us. There’s no way that dinner plates would have fit on the cocktail table. We felt like sardines in a can, in the small area where they sat us at. We asked to be moved and they refused. What a shame as the smells coming from the kitchen were excellent. The hostess had an attitude!

    Great service and fabulous food. I would have liked to see a few more nicer tequilas offered. That is the only complaint.

    It was my first time there, my family was visiting and they had read about Amelia’s being nominated for James Beard. It was everything we hoped for and more! Service and food was exceptional. Their famous Quesabrillia were delicious and we had shrimp tacos and fish tacos were great as well!

    This was our first time at Amelia’s and it didn’t disappoint any of us! Every meal was excellent. I had the fish chimichanga which was delicious. Others in our party had tamales, tacos and burrito. All raved about how good they all were. The margaritas were also good. Definitely our go to place for Mexican food. The prices were reasonable and we can’t wait to eat on their expansive patio when the weather gets nice.

    The staff and service was excellent. Food was very good. Sat outside bordering Grant and parking lot. The restaurant is very small so outside was better than inside. My friend and I had a very enjoyable meal despite some of the challenges regarding space.
