Also got an order of Lobster Birria to go, and while it was very good, I think I prefer non-elevated, down-home-style birria. I didn't think there was enough cheese and the depth of flavor that's in traditional birria wasn't there for me. Nonetheless, I think this is one of the best restaurants in the city and my friends and I have talked about coming monthly.

TLDR: one of my favorite ATL restaurants, lamb tuetano bone marrow tacos are a stand out. Remember…read moreto validate parking immediately. This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!

Knowing that this place isn't too far, and it's on BuHi, we came to visit. There was plenty of seating when we came here and we were welcomed. As usual, we were given chips with salsa. For appetizers we also ordered guacamole. The guac wasn't your usual salty, they used the cheese to bring out the salt content. Every dish we ordered was seasoned very well. Overall, I thought Amealco was great. I would definitely recommend anyone to come here and eat. The Al pastor was great and it was flavored super well. The service was great as well.

Now you can't do this at dinner time because it's packed! The parking is terrible and that would be my only complaint. The dining room has an upper level and lower level and it's close quarters. If you don't like people or being inadvertently in someone's convo you best not try it out. The beef, carne asada tacos were both very good. Just watch when you order because not everything comes with rice and beans but it's offered as if it does. I have frequented this place for about 15yrs now and never really had a bad experience.

My only complaint is that when you order takeout in person, they add a 15% takeout fee. I think that's excessive because we're not dining in, being seated, or interacting with a server--we're simply placing an order, picking it up, and taking it home. I don't really see what additional cost justifies that fee. The food is great, but the takeout fee makes ordering from here less appealing. Ambience is good.
