My waitress was great. In the past, I've had nothing but…read morenice dinning experiences at Amerika's. Today the french fries were the only item that was decent. The tortilla soup tasted old, the steak on the steak sandwich was not fresh and had absolutely no seasoning and there were maybe 2 small pieces of onions. My waitress was extremely understanding when I expressed to her my concern, she first offered salt and pepper and then she offered to replace with steak tacos, which I thought was really nice until I got them home and tasted them. The steak tacos tasted like spoiled meat cooked on a dirty grill. This is definitely not the quality of food I'm used to from Amerika's.

I loved the tamales, they were sweet like cornbread and moist, i also had the elotes which were…read moreyour average good elotes, not much of a notable flavor. I also had the nachos which were kind of sweet and tasted really good. Normally sweet and chips dont go together in my experience but this was delicious. Also had Angel as my server and he was really nice, we chatted on the tamales for a minute while my parents who i was eating with payed for the food, he also served us pretty timely and had good timing, didnt catch me with my mouth full once which is nice and my parents had the same experience in that. The surroundings were loud but thats just what a friday night is like and its nothing the restaurant can really do. Overall really good experience, good food which was overall on the sweet side and a good server who was really nice and had good timing even though it was very busy (came in and had to wait a tad kind of busy). Sorry if my formatting isnt exactly how most people do on yelp, i am used to youtube and rarely come into yelp. Just had to speak on how great the place was

Thank goodness we had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server Meyah was super friendly. We started with a few cocktails ..one being the Oaxacan Old Fashion..smokey and delicious. We tried their Market Ceviche which was on their Weekly Specials menu..Cured Mahi Mahi Brazilian Papaya,Tangerine Habanero sauce served with Sweet Potato chips.fresh and delicious. For our entrees we tried the Barbacoa Tacos and Blackened Fish(Tilapia) tacos. Both entrees were 21.00 for 3 tacos but no rice or beans on the side so a little pricey in my opinion. Street parking is a challenge but they do offer valet for 5.00. They have a fantastic patio that is open in the summer so we will definitely be back to enjoy a few cocktails and Latin American eats.

Anyway, the lobby has really nice furniture and walked in to hear people speaking the same quick Venezuelan Spanish that mi padrastro speaks, so I figured I was in for good food! Service was friendly and the prices were quite reasonable. The empanadas were large and crispy. The filling was subtly flavored, which is very Venezuelan - NO SPICE! I was a bit disappointed with the service however. I order a pastelita and finished both empanadas needles it came out. I asked the waitress to cancel it. The food I had was good, but I don't appreciate having to cancel a dish because it's taking too long.

So good that we are there once a week, often pick up on the way home from long day. sweet plantations are hit or miss, when they are smaller pieces, great, when they are large half sizes pieces not as flavorful. Only questionable thing we have ever had. Try this place, whether its the steak, chicken you can't go wrong. Rice and beans, even the soup are made with care.

I was so excited for this meal cause Amaru has been on my list for so long! Piononos: They had me at chorizo stuffed plantains. A nice latin twist from the usual bacon wrapped dates. Highly recommend! Pulpo gallego: I don't think I've ever had octopus with beans before but it surprisingly paired very well together. Love me a nice charred octopus and this one was delish. Cuban oxtail: I still dream about this unique pasta dish!!! Great flavor. Wish there were more agnolotti because I had a lot of oxtail meat leftover by the end of the meal. Lomo steak: Such a pretty delicious dish! 5/5 stars all around! Highly recommend to share. Guava cheescake: I LOVE anything guava. The cut and presentation of the dessert gets a 5/5 for me. The slice was as long as the plate! Great way to end the meal. Overall, everything was great - the service, food, vibes, etc. I would love to dine here again :)

They have fans inside the restaurant which were on full blast and it was uncomfortably cold inside during the summer! The food was just okay. I split a burger with my daughter and it wasn't seasoned very well at all. I also had the elotes, hummus, and the yucca fries. I'm not sure they actually gave us yucca fries.

Beautiful Latin American restaurant with rich vibrant colors. We were here for a 21st birthday…read morecelebration with a party of eight. We ordered the following: chicken pasta and we added shrimp to the dish, the salmon dish, chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas, steak tacos, empanadas and several drinks. The food was fresh but I would say that the food overall lacked seasoning and they didn't give us enough tortillas for the fajitas so we had to keep asking the staff to bring us more tortillas. The restaurant was NOT crowded so I was a little irritated by the fact that our wait staff was not giving us the attention that we needed. We had to keep asking them to come to our table to provide us with different things such as jalapeño peppers, more seasonings, napkins and water. What was odd is the tacos and the fajitas did not come with taco sauce or salsa. We literally had to ask them to provide us with some salsa/taco sauce and they did, but it was just odd that it wasn't provided initially. This place has the potential to be great, but unfortunately, they need to focus on seasoning the food and paying attention to the customers needs. We had booked this reservation 7 days in advance and they knew we were celebrating a 21st birthday, so there was no excuse for the lackluster attention to our table. They are more focused on selling pictures, and the theatrical production in the restaurant than the food and customer service. I was NOT impressed with the service. The food has the potential for greatness if it had more flavor/seasonings.

It still tasted good but it was uncomfortably awkward I had to eat blackness of ugly bits and more ugly bits. At least the coleslaw was fresh. I found it was NOT necessary for the black charred on both sides of the flour tortillas. I hoped they will make another two for us, without the blackness, but my husband said not to ask again for free. I ate them anyways but was not satisfied. Thank you for trying anyways. I am sorry I went there. Sorry

That said, the pricing was hard to justify. The Trompo al Pastor was $49 (portion is big enough to share, despite being described as per person), and the Barbacoa at $35 was decent but lacked depth of flavor and needed more seasoning. The $16 guacamole was also a surprisingly small portion for the price. We also ordered the Aguachile al Mango for $28, which sounded great but was almost inedible due to the extreme spice level. Overall, a nice atmosphere with strong cocktails, but the value just didn't match the cost for us.
