    I had to go to get a passport renewal last minute and got hungry waiting for the print to happen. I looked for best brunch near me and Amelia's popped up as highly reviewed and I fell like nopales. We got there just intime to beat any brunch rush and we all go to order what we wanted. Nopales con juevo, taco birria, pancakes Nutella and famous margaritas! All of the food was fantastic. I did think it was a little expensive for a family of four but then again what isn't expensive these days. I would recommend this space as a splurge space. We all Enjoyed it, the space was relaxing and the staff was accommodating.

    Enchiladas (included sides)

    Had a fun time dining at Amelia's! We had a great server and the food was tasty! Ambiance is trendy, would recommend for a fun dinner or brunch. Good for small to medium sized groups. Loved my birria enchiladas roja. The sauce was so goooooodd! Great value.

    Strawberry margarita (a few sips in)
    Sandra F.

    Absolutely loved our experience at Amelia's! After first going to the wrong Amelia's location, we were so happy we ended up at the right one. Great experience! First we started with frozen strawberry and mango margaritas. I dont even like margaritas but they were absolutely delicious. The drinks throughout the night were top notch. On the next round we ordered the award winning classic margarita and the prickly pear/jalapeno margaritas. They were delicious and so fresh. Didn't know margaritas could be so good. Highly recommend. I always care about chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant. There's were good and we maybe snacked on too many before dinner. For dinner, I basically wanted to eat everything on the menu. I branched out and tried the molcajete mixto that came with steak, chicken, shrimp, cactus, stuffed bacon wrapped pepper all on a hot stone bowl. There's an absolutely delicious tomato sauce literally sizzling the entire time you are eating. I can't tell you how much I loved this. The sauce was so flavorful. The stuffed pepper was spicy and fantastic. It was so delicious that I kept forcing myself to eat more of it and almost got sick overeating. I still had over half leftover. My husband had steak fajitas which he enjoyed. The vibe of the restaurant is casual and fun. Saw kids and adults. The inside is much better than their other location. The service was absolute excellent. Our server Danny was extremely attentive and did an excellent job explaining menu items and bar choices. I cannnot rave enough about how much I loved my dinner and drinks and the service. Highly recommend this place.

    Mole (vegan)
    Evie S.

    The food I tried was good. I enjoyed the mole with vegetable enchiladas. I always enjoy trying a new mole! The mole was slightly tomato-y, not something that I noticed in other moles I have had. I liked the flavor and also liked the texture. I think it wasn't as piping hot as I was dreaming it would be which affected my enjoyment of it a little. The vegetables in the enchiladas were cooked well. The refried beans on the side were smokey and flavorful and the black beans I got instead of rice had a good flavor too (I find that black beans sometimes tend to be more of an afterthought in some Mexican restaurants in my experience) I am glad they now have some vegetarian options that are dairy free and egg free too. I believe both refried and black beans, mole sauce, and red enchilada sauce are vegetarian. The Rice and the flour tortillas are not vegetarian here I believe They had heaters on their patio which was nice. The restaurant in general felt crowded when my husband and I were there like they were maximizing seating more people than they could actually handle both in terms of service and in terms of space. Service was bad and felt unwelcoming. We weren't checked on during the meal and when we finally got the attention of our waiter to tell him that we received the wrong item or when we asked for anything he was impatient and rude. If I come back to eat at Amelia's it would be at a less popular time in the hope for better and more professional service. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

    Delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine served in a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant offers plenty of comfortable seating, making it great for both small groups and larger parties. There's also a full bar area with its own seating, which adds to the fun, relaxed vibe whether you're stopping in for breakfast or later in the day. The carne asada breakfast burritos are a standout--flavorful, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. The ingredients taste fresh and the overall quality really reflects authentic Mexican cooking rather than a watered-down version. Everything comes out hot and made to order. The space is clean and well-maintained, including the restrooms, with both unisex and women's bathrooms available. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, a comfortable setting, and an enjoyable dining experience.

    Amelia's is so fantastic that getting a good photo of the food before devouring it is impossible!! I've been to the restaurant itself 5 times, and gotten takeout as many times, if not more, and the quality is unwavering and outstanding. I bring all my visiting friends here! Amelia's does all the things right. Great food. Well priced for quantity, quality, and attention to detail. Attentive service, even on busy days. Outdoor, dog-friendly patio for post hike meals. This is the place to be for great food!

    Beef Tamales con Juevos

    I haven't been here for a little while. I've also not posted a local review for a while. I came back to Amelia's for a good breakfast and was not disappointed. I had the Spinach Tamales (from the vegetarian part of the menu) and my husband had the Beef Tamales with eggs. Portions were generous, beautifully plated and tasty. Thanks Francisco, for the great service! And thanks Amelia's for the great food. I continue to recommend.

    Spinach tamales with eggs over easy
    Phoenix A.

    Can check this off the list! Met a friend here for brunch. Wasn't quite what I expected size wise and with the high ratings, I imagine that there can be a crazy wait. The parking lot is not that big and you have to make a quick swoop off of Oracle to park. Just a heads up. I tried the spinach tamales with eggs over easy and had a michelada with Modelo Especial. An unexpectedly perfect combo is what I got, too! We were brought chips and salsa while we waited. My friend and I both loved the tomatillo one a lot. Chips were fresh tasting. Ever since my dinner at BOCA, I feel obligated to mention that the chips and salsa were not a separate menu charge. Francisco took care of us, another pro who asked us about food allergies beforehand, wasn't too hovery,perfect. Reasonably priced food. I spied some things I would like to try next time so I will definitely be back.

    Shrimp Enchiladas, margaritas, rice and beans, and a birrira taco.

    I've been to San Diego, had tons of Tucson food, been to mexico, been to New Mexico for their new Mexican food, live in LA...and then there's this. It was incredible. The chips and salasas were on point. Their Enchiladas (shrimp) were divine, the rice and beans excellent, and their drinks were perfection. It frankly blew my mind. How do they get that green sauce so creamy and flavorful? Also Rodrigo at the bar was phenomenal! He did not steer me wrong wrt my food order, made perfect drinks, etc. As someone who has been a server in the past he was excellent. Try sitting at the bar of he's around. Are you still reading? If so, just go there!

    Molcajete mixto
    Christina Z.

    First time at this location, and happy to see more indoor seating and space in comparison to the Grant one. We decided to try some new things we hadn't before - glad we ventured away from the quesabirria (which is solid and our usual order at the Grant location) to try one of the molcajetes because I think we may like the molcajetes more! You can order them for 1-2 people, and the 2 person portion was perfect for sharing. We had the mixto which also comes with tortillas, rice, beans, and guacamole. So flavorful and filling. We also tried some drinks including their award winning margarita from this year's championship which was solid (though not the best margarita I've ever had).

    Chicken enchilada with both red and green sauce
    Connie G.

    I had walked a section of the Loop with my dog and saw this restaurant was in the area. I had always wanted to try it. It was 4:45pm on a Friday and I knew it would be busy. The parking lot was filling up fast. Since I was by myself and my dog was resting in the car under a shade tree, I ate at the bar to free up a table. This was a wise decision as 30 minutes later all the tables were occupied. I can see why this place does so well. Everything about this restaurant is top notch: the food, the service, the ambiance. All the servers wear clean, professional uniforms(black shirt and pants for the men, white blouse and black pants for women) and work the floor as a team. I was impressed. No dirty plate is left sitting on the table. I ordered a chicken enchilada platter with both red and green sauce. The presentation was beautiful, with the rice, beans and salad served on a separate plate. I used some of the sauce for both the salad and beans. I was so full, I couldn't finish my chips that I got before the meal . Even the salsa was delicious. When I left at 5:30pm, the restaurant and the patio tables were full. I had timed this visit perfectly.

    One of the first meal impressions... The Fajitas are smmmokin'. The tables have inlaid turquoise. Water glasses look like cut crystal. Ambience is lively. Decor is colorful, eclectic. Seating areas throughout seem to have their own theme/style. PBS Cooking shows are on the tvs at and over the bar. My regret, we didn't order the Fajitas. We both ordered a Chimichanga. Ground Beef for my friend, with only rice, and I went with Carne asada or something similar with beans and rice, Christmas Style. When our entrees arrived I noticed no beans or rice on either one of our plates. So then I think it's going to be served on another plate and it's going to arrive in a minute or two. Imagine my surprise to find my Chimichanga has rice and beans INSIDE of it. Yeeuck. Don't fill my Chimi with filler. Beans and rice are an accompaniment, not the main dish. My excitement of trying a new restaurant was immediately doused. Guacamole contained excessive amount of onion. Red and green sauce had good flavor but lacked the heat I anticipated. Even the salsa was on the "safe" side, if your a snowbird. Overall, the atmosphere was nice, prices competitive, but the food did not make me want to dine here again.

    MINI CHIMIS 6 (shredded chicken)
    Jessica W.

    Wow! I've been waiting to come here for awhile and it was worth the wait!! I tried going to the other location but the wait was so long. This time I made a reservation at this location with no wait. Food- delicious! We left super stuffed and satisfied. The serving sizes were very filling. The food came out really fast and tasted freshly made. The mini chimis were delicious- a surprisingly addicting snack with fun toppings. The quesabirria was one of the best I've had. Lots of meat and delicious dip without a sign of cilantro! It's so rare to find a place able to separate out cilantro. The rice and beans were seasoned so well too. The carne asada burrito was huge and the salsas on top made it truly delectable. Ambiance- very clean spacious and nice. I think there may have been some smoke in the restaurant which made it look a bit misty but it didn't smell like smoke at least. Service- Gabe was our server and he was great. Attentive patient and friendly. Overall nice service Highly recommend!

    The location on Oracle does

    Do they have happy hour?

    yes

    Is there room inside to seat group of ,7 or 8 people?

    Yes there is!

My faves were the coco nido wings (wings with coconut rum glaze), the Stoner fried rice, and the ahi wonton tacos (cucumber, jalapeno, soy ginger, Chubasco aioli, wasabi peas). For my drink, I ordered the Fogcutter (vintage favorite combines a blend of light rum, cognac, gin, orgeat, fresh orange and lemon juice, and is finished with a port float), refreshing and not too sweet. We implemented the 'take 1 and pass left" maneuver to share all the dishes amongst us. We had a great time eating and comparing notes.

Came here for girl's night and it was everyone's first time even at the restaurant but mine. I'd had dinner a couple times in the restaurant for my birthday and had the cheese wheel fettuccine alfredo. I asked if anyone was interested in trying it and so 3 of us split it which ended up being pretty perfect. It is hands down THE BEST fettuccine alfredo. We had many drinks come to our table, the first round being the homemade limoncello. Made with local Meyer lemons, it is deliciously potent. A must try. The bartender, Ryan or Brian, he made cocktails from the heart. A couple of gals ordered "dealer's choice" drinks and they were inspired by the drinker's stories. It was really a unique experience for them and I could almost see his mind working out the chemistry of the libations. Another must try, although I didn't because I had to drive myself home. I did have a coffee with Bailey's, Amaretto, and freshly-made whipped cream. Last must try if not on a coffee drink maybe on a dessert. One person in our party thought that the drinks were on the spendy side. Many of the ingredients were house made and all top shelf. I'm from Los Angeles so an $18 drink was a normal night at the klerb. Worth mentioning if that would be a deal breaker. Worth a go. I thought it was better than the speakeasy at the Sonoran House which was too bright and not intimate. You really like feel more like you're not where you're supposed to be at The Still. There is a curio cabinet with cigars that I think are for sale. The speakeasy opens up to the patio for all the smoke suckers. Great for a small groups or date night, maybe not the first date.
