   Although the food was good, plates came out sporadically, and one plate came out room temperature. The noise level inside was very high. So much so that you had to shout to get our table mates to hear us.

   I was so disappointed with my experience at Amelia’s. We had a reservation but got turned around and got there late. So when we arrived they just put our name at the bottom of the list. We had to wait at least 40 minutes. It took a while to order and I’d not felt well that day so we decided to order to go. It took another at least 40 minutes to get our food. We arrived at 7:00 and left at 8:50 for to go. The food was also disappointing- the salsas were supposed to be great and they were not:(

   We went there because the chef was recommended for an award. The food was good, but service was pretty slow. People who can in after us were served first, which was odd. It was pretty loud in there too, so we had to yell to talk to each other. If friends want to go there, I’d go, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

   Quesobirria tacos are so good! Service is fast and friendly but it’s a a popular place so expect short waits at times. Our group had carne asada fajitas, giant burrito, and shrimp enchiladas. All highly enjoyed. Margaritas and local beers were perfect additions.

   The sudden popularity has forced the Resturant to become a fast food eat and run as staff is rushing you to leave before you start.

   Food was good and interesting things on offer. It was much noisier than we expected. We will try it at different times of the day.

    This was our first visit to Amelia’s. The place is small but decorated well. The menu has a large variety of Mexican dishes including all day breakfast. We had street tacos, chile rellenos, and quesobirria. Everything had great flavors. We enjoyed it all enough to know we will be back again soon!!!
