Visiting from Canada this was our first time having real Mexican food and we had an amazing experience here! The food was incredible! We ordered the quesadillas, a burrito, some tacos, and chips with queso, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. The manager was so warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot!! We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Birria lovers listen up. I stopped by Amelia's Taqueria at Assembly and it absolutely delivered. The birria tacos were so good, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked meat that really stands out. The level of customization here is impressive and makes it easy to get exactly what you're craving. I'm already planning my next visit because I definitely need that birria in burrito form. And the cheesecake burrito deserve their own moment. Truly a genius invention and something I'll be thinking about until the next time I'm back for another bite. Overall this is a solid to go spot that hits the mark. 8 out of 10. read more

Got the nacho bowl but it came out a little more than I thought it would for around $17 but maybe be because I added plantains so make sure to put attention. The bowl mixed with everything was decent but the sauces were not spicy at all. The meat ratio wasn't what I wanted for $17, I feel like I can get much better portion and taste elsewhere. There is free water cups but there were a lot of times when the staff wasn't paying attention when we tried to go up the counter when asking questions and it was quite cold in there. read more

They need to update their closing time, went in all excited to eat and it was close when it said on maps that they close at 10 and on yelp that they close at 9... first time and never again, looked at us through the windows and didn't even say anything to us. read more

Amelia's is my top pick for a flavorful Mexican bowl. The other places that are this style of tex mex are bland compared to Amelia's. The food was fresh and hot and had good amount of options for toppings and drink selections too ! I recommend! read more

Amelia's Taqueria - Steak Mexican Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

This is among the Mexican Food places I've frequented. The food is fresh, and tasty with decent portions. They have a hood selection. My go-to favorite is the taco bowl. Their prices are very competitive with area competitors. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. There's a small amount of seating, but probably most people get takeout like I do. The drawback, like most of Assembly Row, is that while there ample free parking. it's difficult to grab a quick on-street spot so you can just run in quickly and get your order and be on your way. On-street parking nearby is nearly always full meaning you have to either park a five or ten minute walk away, or park in the garage right around the corner. read more

Food: Didn't hit the spot the way it did at Northeastern's location. But it was ok. Got a burrito with Al pastor. Service: Surprisingly had to wait out a little to get my food, maybe they were understaffed? Even at 6pm on a Wednesday. Ambiance: There is natural light and seating in this Amelia's. read more

This place is alright. I got the nachos and they give you a huge huge huge pile of chips and they pile on the toppings on top. It is a huge portion but majority of it is chips and halfway through we ran out of toppings and were left with a huge basket of chips. Service is good and they have lots of seating. read more

Amelia's Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Amelia's Taqueria opened another location in the former Sabrose Taqueria at Assembly Row. They offer made to order burritos, bowls, quesadillas, tacos, chimichangas, and tortas with choices of proteins, rice, salsas, veggies, toppings, and sauces/dressings. They also offer nachos, salads, fries, churros, nutella empanadas, Pepsi fountain drinks, and bottled drinks including water and Jarritos. Your food is made in front of you down the line to the register. There is table seating inside this space. I stopped by Amelia's Taqueria at Assembly Row for takeout recently. I ordered a Mexican Bowl ($13.95 plus tax) with spicy shredded chicken, Mexican rice, black beans, mild chipotle salsa, sour cream, pickled onions, lettuce, pico de gallo, and shredded cheese. The bowl was heavy with all of my chosen ingredients. The bowl was pretty decent and filling to eat. The Mexican rice was very mushy and the shredded spicy chicken was a bit dry and stringy. I would order from here again, but choose the cilantro rice instead and also order steak or shrimp for my next bowl. read more

Amelia's Taqueria - Taco with $2 chives - Mexican Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

This place is pretty bad. I liked the one that was there previously, but this one is expensive, not good quality, and honestly I'd like for them to shut down and have a decent place take it's place. read more

These reviews surprise me. Went today, got a quesadilla that fed two of us - was massive. Flavors were good, staff friendly. I would go back! read more

Food was okay, nothing special but not bad. The portions are small so I am giving them 3 stars. read more

Amelia's Taqueria - No Taco shells for my tacos from Amelia's Taqueria - Mexican Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Tiny portions with big price tag. I rather take the long trip to Felipes ... But the place was clean.

The prices are getting out of hand. I would usually get a mexican bowl which came with 2 free toppings (which is insane) and anything else was maybe an extra $0.65. Now the free topping options are limited and its a $1.80 just to add CORN. Sad thing is i dont even blame them, MA is making it impossible for businesses to stay open read more

This pains me because when it first opened I was one of its first google reviews and it was a five star. I've been there 3 times. Their service had a major drop off. I had ordered a torta with beef tongue. The scoop was mostly the broth of the beef tongue. If you get the bread wet it will get soggy. I had asked for it to go. I was not happy, but because the first experience was so good I decided to take a break. Today, I decided to give it another try. I had asked for a torta once more. Noticed the menu had changed. I asked if they had tongue and he said no. It was a gentleman Spanish speaking with partial facial hair. I recognized him it was the one who gave me the soggy torta last time I was there. He then proceeded to pressure me 3 times as I'm looking at the menu. I had to make eye contact with him and repeat myself twice to let him know that since the menu changed I needed a minute. There was no line behind me. The guy had also not put the bread on the stove. The torta is suppose to have smeared beans and when I looked at what he had it was just a bulk of beans in the center of the bread. His posture and attitude made me not want to go back. It sucks because I really enjoyed the ladies who helped me out in the beginning when it first opened. read more

There used to be another Taqueria in this place and I stupidly walked in and ordered a steak bowl thinking it was the same place. I ended up paying $13 for what was a bowl of rice. I wish I had thought to take a picture. When The server put 3 - literally 3 tiny pieces of meat and a thimbleful of beans in my bowl, I said "That looks horrible - I am not going to pay for it" but my companion was embarrassed and made me pay. Tiny portions - have you seen those tik tok videos of people walking away from tiny portion bowls at fast food taquerias - they make this place look like a banquet. What I got was 85% rice and maybe 8 pinto beans and a few pieces of steak. My friend was also horrified and sheepishly asked "um could I have more beans" and "Could I have more meat" - the girl at the counter gave him a thimbleful more of beans but no more meat. That was extra. Everything cost extra. For $13 I got a bowl of rice with a tiny amount of meat (3 pieces I counted) and beans. In the end, it didn't matter (at this point I still thought it was the good Taqueria - they are totally banking on you thinking it's the generous portioned delicious Taqueria that used to be here) and I was shocked at how bad the food was. My friend literally thinks he got food poisoning. I should have known - when we walked in on a busy Saturday, there was nobody I mean nobody here which was very odd since the old place had been busy. The rice was inedible - tasted old and burned with lots of uncooked onions. the meat was tough and tiny. I am still annoyed that I paid $13 for such a tiny portion of food (think of the amount that would fit in a fast food chain 99 cent rice and bean burrito). Horrible food - horrible service and tiny tiny portions. Moreover, the fact they bought this from the old Taqueria that had generous portions and good food seems really sketchy - warning do not go here - I wish I had read the reviews first! read more
