For me, I am not a huge seafood lover- unless I am in Monterey or San Francisco. The vibe of this restaurant is pretty interesting. Think Dia de Los Muertos in a discoteca. I think this place better serves as somewhere to get drunk which makes the food seem better. The food is not bad , just doesn't stand out from anywhere else. On my visit, I opted for the chile verde with their handmade corn tortillas. The chile was spicy enough for me and the tortillas were fantastic. Shout out to the tortilla lady preparing those fresh all day! The refried beans were really runny- I should have asked if they offered whole pinto beans as an option. Service was pretty good, although I wasn't quite sure who our server was . We had multiple people come to our table during our visit. I think this restaurant is fun and interesting with solid food options. Would I be back? Yes, if I want to drink, listen to loud music and eat some damn good tortillas!

When i first went here months ago, it was a very good place to get quick tacos. In fact, i prefered coming here then going to Mi Pueblo. The worker taking my order was really nice and even though there was always a line, it was worth the wait. Now it's gone downhill. When i ordered today, my total was 11$. I gave the lady 15$ and she said she would get my change. After a few minutes i went back and told her where my change was. She said i gave her 11$ and i told her she was wrong. She checked her pocket and saw that i wasn't lying. Seemed like she wanted to steal my money and have me not know about it. I didn't get my change until 5 minutes later since she didn't have 1'ones and she had to ask another customer for change. They also raised the prices on tacos. before it was $2 for a taco. Now it's $2.50. The food was still good like always which made me somewhat happy. They took out most of the sides they use to have. They don't have napkins and took out the cilantro,onions, and other stuff you use to be able to add to your taco. Now they only have sliced beats, lime, cucumber, and salsas. They are to open in a building in Dec and i really hope the new place has all the stuff they use to have. As of right now, i'm not going back. The worker was not respectful and tried to cheat me of my money and the tacos i ate was a regular taco without the nice stuff on it. So if you wanna eat here, be aware that the prices rose, soda is a dollar whcih is fair, and expect to eat a taco with only meat and salsa. The lime looked like it was cut yesterday since it showed aging and was dry. I know they need money to pay for the new place, but if they keep being cheap and ripping people off when there not looking and not offering the food i loved, they will lose customers and money. Me and my gf are definently going to wait till Dec and hope they change back to the taco stand i loved. read more

This place use to been good when they where still a taco truck. Now it's gone way down hill. Since they opened in a building it has not been the same. The food is still good. They have toppings like lime, cilantro, beans, and other stuff you can add to your taco. The tortillas are hand made so you're getting good food. However, the customer service and the fact that they never have chicken irritates me. They have chicken advertised yet they never have it when i come and ask for it. The drinks they have is limited so i always get coke when i go in. There's rarely any seats available because the place is small and there's no seats outside. Parking is really small so i have to park near some houses sometimes. Workers are somewhat friendly sometimes but they just get orders. There's a language barrier which isn't a bad thing but if you only speak english, good luck finding a worker to help you. So overall the food is good but the service and just eating there is a problem. Tacos are somewhat pricey but i can see why since it's good. They do care more about regulars then new people so expect to not be treated equally. I'm probably not going to come here anymore since it's more problems eating there and service is a problem. I suggest going to Mi Pueblo where the service is better. If there's a game involving Mexico, you won't have random people staying in the place all day not willing to give you there seat. read more

If you're looking for some of the best tacos in California, look no further than Tacos Ameca in Gilroy. This place is a total gem, and I can't recommend it enough! First off, the service is fantastic. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and more than happy to make recommendations. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and that makes a huge difference in the overall experience. Now, let's talk about the food--absolutely incredible. Every bite is packed with flavor, and the quality is next level. You can immediately taste the freshness of the ingredients, and the meats are grilled to perfection. The smoky, charred goodness from their massive outdoor grill sets these tacos apart from anything else out there. Despite being a very busy spot and the fact that everything is made fresh to order, the service is shockingly fast. You'd expect a long wait for food this good, but they have their system down to an art. Yes, prices are a bit higher than your average taqueria, but let me be clear--this is anything but typical. The level of quality, the care in preparation, and that amazing outdoor grill make it worth every penny. Tacos Ameca is 100% worth the trip, no matter where you're coming from. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Tacos Ameca is an absolute gem when it comes to authentic taco spots! If you're on the hunt for mouthwatering, flavor-packed tacos, this is the place to be. First things first, the tacos here are $5 each. But let me tell you, they don't skimp on the meat! Every taco is generously loaded with succulent fillings, and the handmade tortillas are a game-changer. The taste? Nothing short of delicious! The staff at Tacos Ameca are not only skilled at crafting tacos but are also incredibly friendly and attentive. Their excellent customer service truly enhances the dining experience. The cozy yet vibrant atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The highlight is their self-serve topping bar, allowing you to customize your tacos to perfection. And let's not forget about their impressive salsa selection that caters to all tastes. What sets Tacos Ameca apart is their range of imported Mexican products that you won't find in your typical store. It adds an extra layer of authenticity to the whole experience. This is my favorite go to taco spot, and I highly recommend you stop by to try it! read more

Been here a couple of times both when they were a truck to their resturant. It looks like they have given up completely on serving chicken so its an all red meat taqueria, their food is good, because anything cooked in lard is good. The real problem with this place is service for there isnt any really, and they dont care about it either. They have regulars that they cater to more but the regulars are extremely rude to any new interested customers. They will sit and take up the very few sitting spots in the restaurant even when they were done eating long ago. I always get the most unfriendliness feel there, and yes they are good, but thats just it, there are plently of delicious taquerias throughout California so Ill at be at the more friendlier ones. read more

Eat where the locals do! Wow this place was hopping' at lunch time on a Thursday. Large portions and fairly priced. 3 different meat tacos were basically just that, but seasoned well. There is a condiment bar to add extra fresh onion combo, or variety of sauces, or fresh cucumbers /tomates. Watch out for the addictive green sauce (looks like avo but most likely not, it has some nice heat). Veggie burrito was great. Limited menu but enough to choose from.

I've even been using AI to help me find healthier restaurant options, which is how I came across Tacos America. It recommended the restaurant because they grill their chicken, so we were excited to try it. When we arrived, we saw them grilling meat outside and thought, "Perfect! This is exactly what we're looking for." Since the tacos are topped with vegetables, we felt like this would be a great, healthier option. Unfortunately, that's not what happened. While we were waiting, the people ahead of us ordered tripe. The tripe was being heated on the Blackstone in lard, and you could see it sizzling in the lard. After they removed the tripe and served it, it was time to prepare our tacos. They put our grilled chicken on that same surface with the same lard that had just been used for the tripe. I'm not someone who likes to complain, so I didn't say anything at the time. Looking back, I wish I had. I understand that they need to heat the meat before serving it, but if you are advertising grilled chicken as an option, customers should be able to expect that chicken to remain a healthier choice. At the very least, customers should be told if their food is going to be heated in lard and given the opportunity to say no. For someone like me, the entire reason for ordering chicken instead of fatty meats is to avoid exactly that. If I wanted my chicken cooked in lard, I could have ordered something else. It was especially frustrating because we specifically chose this restaurant believing we were making a healthier choice. As for the tacos themselves, they were good. Unfortunately, I ended up taking the chicken out of the tacos and only ate about 1/3 of it because I didn't feel comfortable eating all of it after seeing it heated in lard. I hated wasting the food, but I'm trying to take my diet seriously for my health. I really hope Tacos America considers this. If you offer grilled chicken as a healthier option, please don't put it on a surface covered in lard without telling the customer. There may be people ordering chicken for medical or dietary reasons who cannot eat lard or added fats. A simple question or warning would have made a huge difference. The tacos were good, but unfortunately, the way the chicken was handled completely defeated the reason we chose them in the first place.
