We walked in and we were able to get a table right away. They came to take a drink orders and bring us chips and salsa.. The chips were nice and crispy and they were warm and the salsa was tasty. I like that the chips were not over salted. When the server came to take our order, she seemed to be confused by the fact that I could not eat sour cream and other people did not want guacamole. Which resulted in extra side orders of guacamole and a plate of sour cream. I ordered the barbacoa plate and my dining companion ordered the lingua. Unfortunately, the Barbacoa was not very good. It seemed a bit dry and did not have much flavor. Lingua was actually pretty tasty. It's a family place, I saw several families dining. Overall, I believe in second chances maybe if I ordered something different on the menu I would have had better experience. read more

Ama's Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Tostada - Mexican Near Me - Hearne, Texas

stopped in on our way thru hearne. Food was ok. Not really anything special. I got screwed on the prices. I ordered ala cart taco (like $2.00) you can get rice and beans for .50 cents each so that's like $3.00. The waitress said she'd charge me for the kids plate cause it was cheaper. Ok whatever. I went to the bathroom right before we left and my husband paid so I never saw a receipt. Later that night my husband was saying how high it was and I asked to see the receipt, no receipt. He said they came around with the hand held computer thing . His plate and my daughters was like $13 each. We all got water and total was like. $38. No appetizers etc. I looked up their menu online and a kids taco plate with rice and beans is $8.29. How is that cheaper than $3.00. Plus kids plate came with a drink. Won't be back read more

They topped my steak fajita chimi with chili?!? Yes I now know I'm in Texas lol loaded with steak no fillers strong house margs too only $6 good spot read more

Did not expect such a good meal as we were driving from College Station. The Aggie game was on, locals were watching and eating and the vibe was really good. I had the stuffed baked potato and Bae had nachos. I would definitely go back when I'm in the area. read more

Crappy food and small portions No management! Crappy service. They could care less abt customer service. Keep driving! read more

The food was amazingly authentic! The beef and chicken fajitas for 2 were expertly prepared, chargrilled and flavorful! read more

We had planned to eventually visit Ama's some time, but we ended up there by default on that particular day since we found out that the restaurant we had originally planned to visit is closed on Sundays. We were SO very glad it worked out that way!! Everything we had at Ama's was excellent overall. I agree with the other reviews that some of the food lacked a little seasoning (specifically salt) but that is such an EASY FIX and nothing to really complain about in my opinion. It's so much better to add your own salt than to be served food that's too salty. We loved the chunky guacamole with perfectly made pico de gallo, and the combo fajitas with rice and beans. Chips and salsa were okay. The cheese enchiladas with ranchero sauce may have been the best we've ever tried. The sauce was perfectly spicy. I wish I had that those enchiladas right now to be honest! The margaritas were great too. If Ama's wasn't three hours away, we would be visiting very often. Although I'm unable to recall her name right now, our server was great too! We will definitely stop by Ama's again on the next road trip out that way. read more

Salsa, chips, and queso are a great reason to visit AMA's!! The tea is great and they have the good ice. If you know, you know! I ordered the crispy chicken salad with ranch! It was really good...not just the bagged salad. Ranch is made in house. My son ordered a steak. We heard and saw others ordering steak so he thought he would try it!! It was great!! He really enjoyed it. The fries were just standard, frozen fries. We will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely the WORST Mexican food you could ever eat. The salsa was good..... but everything else was horrible.

Picked up dinner since this was next to my hotel. Pretty good food, friendly service, came out fast. Will come back next time I am in town, thanks! read more

Everything was excellent...the chip salsa was warm and a little different in a good way...charro beans melt in your mouth...the Chile Riano was amazing even the rice was spectacular...I eat a lot of Mexican food this was the best read more

Ama's Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Spinach & mushroom quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Hearne, Texas

My service was good I requested if I may sit myself at the bar and they obliged. I had a Negro, Modelo Michelada preparrar ( Chamoy and tajin around the rim) comes in a nice big scooner. A little tangy a little spicy pretty good.. The salsa was decent, though, not as complex as other sauces I've had, but by no means bad a little bit of spice . I ordered the railroader plate which comes with two enchiladas of your choice and you can mix the type .. pretty good- the enchilada sauce was bomb. I ordered my steak to be medium rare, and it was pretty good flavor not tough or to Chewy . The rice was the only thing that let me down. It was a little soft and over cooked and lacking in flavor in my personal opinion. I also ordered the Charro beans. They had a nice flavor and we're spicy, but not overpowering. It was pretty empty when I went in which is nice so I didn't have to wait and I don't really like large crowds . I'll be staying at the hotel next-door for a few days so I'll definitely be back to try this place again read more

The prices are good and the venue is very clean. Easy highway access and I'm sure it is convenient for the people staying in the Holiday Inn next door. However, they have no concept of seasoning. The salsa with the chips was the only thing with flavor. The chicken Gonzalez was hearty but there was Zero flavor beyond the caramelized onion and chicken. The fajita street tacos were bland and maybe go with grilled onions. The service was fantastic and the I wanted to like the place, but most bland texmex I've ever had. EDIT: I spoke a little too soon and added a star. The sopapilla nachos and insanely good and very fresh. read more

Service always good the food is a hit or miss I got food poisoning 3 times from this place there steak smells like rotting meat and there chicken is very old most of the times I can say there burgers are great as well the queso you sometimes get a fart chip probably due to them being old sounds crazy but if you get one you will know I thought somebody whipped their with it banana pudding bangin tho read more

Waiting over 17 mins to get waited on with no one acknowledging us. So we left. Would not recommend.

I ate there today with a party of 23. The food was good, but Lynette T, our server, was SUPERB! SHE WAS EXCELLENT! SHE WAS FAST, FRIENDLY, and the orders were ACCURATE! She also had to do separate tickets for 6 families, and they were all correct! If you go there, ask for her! She will not disappoint! read more

Good food. Kind staff. Clean environment. And they are not over expensive. A lot of restaurants are over priced because they can't make money with such a small population. Not Amas. I recommend to anybody read more

Right next to the hotel we stayed at. Fri night - place was packed so we thought it must be pretty good. Service was great. We were not seated right away, they were very busy but it wasn't a long wait. However the Mexican food was just "ok". Chips and salsa great....good and hot! Service - better than average. Wait time - average. Margaritas - large but a little weak. Carne Asada had too much comino. Enchiladas...bland and too cheesy. Rice and beans were good. They had a variety on their menu - burgers, steaks, Mexican food, breakfast. They have a drive through. They just might be the best place in Hearne to eat without having to drive 30 mins to Bryan or College Station. Beats McDonalds! Correction: Husband had frozen Margarita and said his was "just right". I think the crushed ice in mine might have watered it down. read more

We stayed in the hotel next to this restaurant and it was good enough that we ate here two nights in a row. I got the ribeye fajitas one night and regular beef fajitas the second night. I preferred the ribeye fajitas the best. They have really good hot sauce and the charro beans we spicy and good! If we drive through we would stop and eat here again. read more

I have lived here for almost two years and had never eaten at Ama's before. I recently ordered carry out for my parents and I and I was so impressed with their food !!

Delicious authentic chicken enchiladas with green sauce topped with white cheese! Fajitas were bite sized and grilled with cheese on top with mushrooms and caramelized onions. The chips and salsa were ok and I added lime and salt to the salsa for my favorite flavor. The kids quesadilla was generously portioned and our little guy loved it! Service was awesome! read more

Queso was good. We had beef fajita tacos and a large guacamole. Food was good. Service was good but I didn't get a "to go" container I requested. No one was wearing a mask. read more

A staff member was not wearing a mask even after I asked about it. She was wandering all around the restaurant, talking to patrons and touching things. Another employee also spoke to her. Irresponsible!! Inconsiderate!! Food was good. read more

Slow lunch service. Seem short handed and are very slow. Couldn't sit me and my family together.

We happened to be driving by and we saw how packed the restaurant was, so we decided to try it. My husband ordered barbacoa plate and I ordered Ama's Torta, and my husband said the Barbacoa was delicious and not greasy and his rice and charro beans were delicious. My Torta was excellent! The bread was very soft and fresh and my tomatoes were delicious in the Torta. My fries were perfect too. I loved the salsa, it had a good kick of heat and chips were also fresh ! The tea was fresh and delicious! We will definitely stop here on our way to Dallas next time! read more

Large stinky trash can by the front door = tons of flies all through the dining room = woman walking around dining room with a fly swatter during our meal swatting flies right by our table. I hate to say it, but this place was just gross. The bathrooms had an awful sewer/rotten water smell that you could smell 10 feet before going into the restroom. It was obvious that they were desperate to mask the smell because there were three cheapo absorbing air fresheners and a big stand up fan inside. It only made it smell like floral sewer water. There were no toilet paper holders in the stall, so rolls of tp were sitting on the small trash can inside the stall. We spent most of our mealtime waving flies off our table, food, and ourselves. It was a shame that this place was so poorly kept because the food was half way decent, but it grossed me out to think what type of kitchen it was prepared in. This place definitely leaves something to be desired in a restaurant. Just because it's in a small town doesn't mean you should keep this place up the way they do. Shame on Ama! read more

Been staying next door from Ama's for the last few weeks working in Texas. I have had really good meals and great service. Friendly staff, clean and good food & drink.. Best place I have been in Hearne. Only problem I have is salsa is to blended and more heat than flavor. I am picky about my salsa. read more
