    We stopped in for breakfast today, after a fabulous lunch Saturday. Jorge was our server, he was fantastic. I had the Chile Relleno breakfast. Just the right amount of food, great value. We also had an order of pancakes, 2 eggs and sausage. It was a lot of food. Finally a breakfast burrito, it was large .

    Yelp brought us here, and it didn't lead us astray. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is clean and bright The food, was worth the wait. So very yummy. Totally worth it There's a reason they win awards

    One cheese and one chicken enchilada.

    The presentation of the food was very eye appealing. The service was excellent. Ambiance was happy, relaxing, very clean as the workers were actively cleaning every crevice and surface when I got there. Very clean. Friendly and happy environment . Bar area was clean and Very inviting. Had TVs going shows were a perfect fit. It was my first time there I look forward trying other things on the menu.

    I've been to both locations and I prefer the one on Oracle. Their menus at the Oracle location have better options, including their fajitas, which I ordered. I enjoy the chicken fajitas, but the rice was a bit unseasoned, so I wished they added more flavor to it. Also, I had the mocktail mango margarita, and it was yummy. Second, Luis, the server, was an excellent and friendly person. He was helping me to pick my food orders, and his recommendations were really good. Also, I think the Oracle location is more spacious than the one on Grant, particularly with better seatings. I will come here again and ordered something else.

    The food was amazing. The staff was all super friendly, even have beautiful handmade mugs that you can purchase for a reasonable price. Absolutely loved the queso with flour tortillas and chorizo was my favorite part and mole enchiladas and drinks were good too. If you're in Tucson, do not miss it so good!!!

    I came here because I saw all the amazing reviews and Amelia's did not disappoint. We were greeted and seated right away. The servers were very nice and attentive. The food came out in a very timely manner and they give chips and salsa while you wait. All the food was so good, the tacos and the breakfast burritos, and especially the chilaquiles The resturante looked so nice and clean. I love their LED signage.

    The service was exceptional, and the food exceeded expectations. Our server was Christopher and he was amazing and took great care of us. We look forward to going back.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

In the future, I would probably limit a reservation to 6. My table ordered 1 of everything on the menu. 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. There were 2 bartenders and 1 dude running food. it's not a place to eat fast. You have to be willing to chill and take in the vibe. Half the people in our party had just arrived to town so it was the perfect, festive yet low key, speakeasy setting for our party. I got a lot of in-law family points picking this place. This was my 2nd here and both times have been super fun. Thank you, Cabali, for a memorable family occasion!

We started with the ABG salad that surprised me because I'm usually not a big fan of Gorgonzola, but the combination of green apple, pecan brittle, and cheese worked really well together and made for a great balance of flavors. For the pizza, we ordered the mushroom pizza and added pepperoni. The sauce was excellent I believe was some sort of a garlic/oil white sauce the mushroom portion was generous which I absolutely love, and the crust was exactly what I look for crunchy on the outside while still soft and slightly sweet inside. My only minor complaint with the toppings is that the $4 pepperoni add on felt a bit light, we only had a 2 or 3 slices per piece. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that our pizza was just slightly overcooked. The bottom was charred all the way around; wasn't burnt to the point of sending it back, but definitely left in the oven a minute or two longer than it needed to be. It wasn't busy when we visited, and it seemed like the employee rotating pizzas was a little more focused on chatting with FOH coworkers than keeping an eye on the oven. I've worked in pizza restaurants for nearly a decade, so I may be a bit more particular than most customers. Realistically, if our pizza had come out even a minute earlier, it would have been a 10/10 meal. That said, I enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back. The quality is there, and I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu in the future.
