    Flan is sooo goid here.
    Charlie B.

    There are a lot of Mexican restaurants in the USofA. And a very few MEXICAN Mexican restaurants. Amparo's is the real thing: they make their own everything, including several kinds of salsa, tortillas, and drinks like Horchata (made with melon seeds, rice, other stuff - Google it). Their chile relleno was delicious, nothing like Chi-chis, with cheese that was good but didn't overpower the chili pepper. I had Birria, a beef and cheese combination, grilled between housemade corn tortillas. And for dessert I add my praises for the flan: dense not too sweet, fantastic. Oh and the prices (some reviewer complained on Yelp. you gotta be kidding me.) Our big plates of great food (we took leftovers home) cost us around $25 apiece. Please try this place and experience great actual Mexican food.

    Birria Tacos

    The BEST tacos and atmosphere ever. I HIGHLY recommend. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The staff is amazing and they treat you like family the minute you walk in. The tacos were the best I've ever had. Get the birria tacos!!

    Chicken Enchiladas

    What a great experience! My wife and I stopped by this lovely restaurant on our way home and were blown away by the hospitality from the owner and his family. The food was phenomenal, and we highly recommend the Chicken Enchiladas!

    Quesabirria plate

    11/10. I have had a craving for birria tacos and have been here before so I knew they would not disappoint my craving! It was hot and fresh, perfect for the cold weather. The quesadilla was handmade and so delicious. I was given three different types of salsa: mango, pineapple, and verde. The family that owns Amparo's is so sweet and provides great service. They have a menu with a wide variety and it all looks so good. The place is quaint and very cute. I will be back again! Give this place a try for authentic Mexican food and you will not be disappointed :)

    How do you say amazing 100 times over. I've lived almost 15 years of my life between Las Vegas and Arizona- both of which have incredible Mexican food...well look no further Chattanoogans... if you want AUTHENTIC Mexican... here is YOUR PLACE! From homemade Mexican honey habanero sauce to an enchilada that looked GOURMET- this is your spot! We ordered the Chile relleno, authentic enchilada, and had a few modelos-and it was FANTASTIC! Don't forget the flan on your way out. This is a very gourmet, authentic, boutique style restaurant...it doesn't fit many as it's a little small but GREAT things come in small packages! Thank you so much to the owners! We will be back!!

    Came back again to try more food. This place always hits it out of the park. I bring everyone here to try things. Tamales are amazing and this time I tried the pork tamale, which was incredible and tender.

Every one of the sides looks so good and fresh that I wanted to get each one of them just to try it! The fish was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender. The added little muffin I didn't expect was a nice touch and delicious. The collard greens were SO GOOD. I'd get them again. So flavorful and cooked well. The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming.

I made reservations about a week in advance (highly recommend), and even arriving a few minutes early at 5:00 pm, the place was already buzzing. The hostess greeted us immediately and had us seated right away. Our server was on it from the start: waters filled, drink orders taken quickly, and excellent guidance on appetizers. We went with the tomato pie, which sounds simple... but don't be fooled. The flavors are anything but basic. This is not an appetizer you politely share and move on from. It's plenty for four people, though you may find yourself quietly plotting how to secure the last bite. For our mains, we shared the warm beet salad and the beef picanha. The salad had such a great flavor pairing that even my husband, who is not a beet fan, loved it (a true culinary miracle). The picanha was incredibly flavorful and may very well be the best thing on the menu... except for the mashed potatoes. Honestly, I would go back just to order my own bowl of those mashed potatoes and call it dinner. Amazing service, outstanding food, and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back very soon.

They were both just super bland. No flavor at all. Mine had mushy tomatoes on it. His had nothing but meat & cheese. No mayo. No lettuce. Both of our fries were cold so we told a server walking by. She asked us to remove our sandwiches from the basket and she would get us more fries. Then she said she would just bring us more fries. She brought out fries a few minutes later that were as cold as the first ones. We just didn't eat them. We also placed an order to take to the hospital for friends. They only got half of the 2 item order correct. I gave 2 stars and reduced it to 1 after we waited an additional 20 minutes after writing the review and getting the wrong to go order.

I wasn't even expecting to get anything. When I walked in though, I tried a spoon of the key lime flavor they had at the time. I expected it to taste like key-lime-flavored-ice-cream but it tasted like a scoop full of key lime PIE The texture even felt like pie because there were delicious hunks of graham crust inside. I was converted. BUT, even more importantly, this shop is run by passionate people. The second time we went in was weeks or even a little over a month later and they remembered us. They gave us a pup cup for my boyfriend's dog while he waited outside with him and they were so helpful and patient with me and his mom. We were indecisive and might have been hard to communicate with because we struggled through our decision making process in Spanglish. She was trying in both languages to explain to me what she wanted but my help wasn't needed at all because the people at Scoop got the gist of what flavor she was craving (rum and raisin) and did their best to come up with something adjacent. She loved it! I so appreciate the kind people at Scoop. "Son muy atentos" y "bien nice."
