    Margaritas
    Kim M.

    With a deep menu of lots of authentic Mexican favorites, we were excited to try Taco Giro. Tucked into a strip mall, the restaurant is fairly large and there were only two other tables and some people sitting at the bar at 5p on a Sunday evening. We were seated promptly by a friendly server and ordered a house and a Cadillac margarita. The drinks were large, but very sweet and not very strong at all. They offered chips and salsa which were good, and the rest of our meal was good, but unremarkable. Service was a little slow and not terribly responsive, but since this is close to home we will definitely give Taco Giro another shot!

    Delicious Chicken fajitas!

    Taco Giro is one of my favorite Mexican restaurant in Tucson. Stop by and enjoy a drink and delicious authentic Mexican food . Don't forget to ask about the weekly menu specials.

    Very good experience at Taco Grio today for an early dinner. Food was fresh and hot. Had the Shrimp Enchiladas and my friend had the grilled fish! Both tasted outstanding. Service was fast and friendly. Think they've gotten into their grove with the food and service. Looking forward to my next visit soon!

    Nice, new, fresh, clean interior. A welcome addition to this shopping center. Dined here just once but will definitely be back. They have daily deals--I went on a Wednesday and got the enchiladas special for $6.99. Hard to beat, especially since it was quite a large serving. Service was friendly and I liked the chips and salsa they offer. Looking forward to trying other dishes.

    This is newly opened in our area. We were curious, we have seen the menu online and everything looked good, so we tried... Everyone is welcoming, as soon as we sat down staff had given us the menus and chips and salsa. Then someone came to our table to ask what we want to drink. Way too fast for me, cause I haven't looked into the menu yet! I found it really funny cause I asked our server a question about an entree on the menu and she responded, I don't know, that made me second guess her ability as our server...I wonder how they hire and train their employees?? Don't get me wrong but their food is okay, and they give a pretty good portion. A little pricey and they charge a fee if you use your credit card. Inside is still clean and new. Not too cramped with tables and chairs. They really have a big menu, and it makes it hard to decide. This could be a good place to earn and dine and also good for take aways.

    Flan dessert was so good !!

    Everything went well. Excellent service, excellent food and ambience. We were 7 ladies celebrating 3 of our October birthdays. Abby was our server and she was excellent. Food was served so quickly and it was so good. Margaritas are excellent as well. You won't be disappointed if you go there.

    I've read so many crazy reviews about this place, so we had to try it out. The avocado omelette I had was pretty good, I think enjoyed it. The portion was decent, I I took half of it home. The chorizo omelet wasn't bad either, it wasn't spicy enough for my husband but good enough for me cause I don't like spicy food. I would like to go back and try other things on the menu. Most of the reviews were about service and it's true, the servers were not as friendly as we would want them to me. At least they should introduce themselves!?! After a while they started to be a little friendlier, I think maybe they have angry patrons??? It's kind of not really what I expected when I look at the menu prices and the esthetics of the restaurant - It may be a little pricey, but I'm willing to give it another try.

    Great seafood! The drinks are fun and very pretty and put together. The seafood tower I've always wanted to try. Definitely enough food for two days. We have great service experience but sat at the bar and went during the week. No issues at all!

    Molcajete Mixto (shrimp, chicken, and beef)
    Lisa B.

    First time coming here and overall it was pretty good. The menu is very extensive (sorry I didn't take photos of it, I'll do it next time). We sat at the bar and got served right away. We had a few beers on tap and shared the Molcajete Mixto, which was HUGE! So, I'm glad we shared. This is a fun variation of fajitas. This place would be good for a larger group and the table should order a bunch of different plates and drinks to share. Overall, we enjoyed it, not the best Mexican food in town, but still pretty good and crazy fun drinks!

We managed to snag a couple of seats in a communal lounge area. I think it's the kind of place where many people come early for happy hour. It was also raining which made it impossible to sit outside, meaning the indoor seating area was pretty packed. We decided to lean into the sidecar of it all and order a classic prohibition sidecar. I don't think this was a traditional sidecar, which was surprising, but it was tasty. It's small, but it packs a punch. The bartenders here are very talented. Overall, I wish the space was a little bit bigger, but it's a great spot to grab a quick drink and enjoy some pizza from the spot next pdoor.

It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.

    This was my first visit to Amelia's Mexican Kitchen, and it was a standout experience. What truly…read moreelevated the entire visit was the incredible service from Rodrigo. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient, checking in so often (perhaps too often) to make sure we were taken care of. He made us feel welcomed right away and kept everything running smoothly throughout our meal. As for the food, the birria tacos were amazing, packed with rich, flavorful meat and served with a delicious consommé dip for dunking. Every bite was better than the last. With Rodrigo's outstanding service, combined with the great food, this was easily a five-star visit. If you go, do yourself a favor and ask for Rodrigo, he'll take great care of you!!

    Pretty good. Pretty good. Of the four of us who gathered to dine here last Friday, (late summer of…read more2026), three in our party raved about their meals, and had nothing but high-praise for the experience. We three, actually loved everything about AMELIAS. Us three (*let's just call them "the cool ones"), were wowed by the taste of our food and noted that the plate presentations were kinda cool-- and a little "more-fancy" than what is typically placed down upon the table at your typical Mexican food restaurants. AMELIAS adds a bit of "pizazz" and "decorum" to their menu items--like edible flowers that float in your margarita, or wavy lines of crema that dance on the seas of flavorful sauces that accompany the tamales, 'chiladas, and relleno plates served here. Three-forths of us also noted how attentive and friendly those who served us were. And... we (the cool ones) also all noticed how the warm, cheerful, and welcoming ambiance and decor of the place added to the enjoyment of our meal. (*Play Debbie-downer walk-up music) One in our group...(dramatic pause)... was notably quiet and reserved when it was her turn to rave about her dish. This person, smiled and shared that she thought her food was, "pretty good." But, now that I think about it...her praise was kinda limited, and she, indeed, was a bit reticent. I would find out later, as we lay in bed that night, that one in our group had not enjoyed her meal as much the other three had. Apparently, the cheese and chicken enchiladas dish that was ordered was not to this person's liking, and she added that she thought the service was "just okay". Not wanting to bring-down the mood of the evening, this person played along and didn't criticize. Now, I am not trained in psychology, but if feels like...(how do I put this delicately?)... okay. (*the writer thinks for a bit). Sometimes... when one in our party does not get to pick the restaurant that we are going to try, it seems to me... that...(dramatic pause as I try to find just the right words to say this).. I seems to me... that...This person is just, "not going to enjoy" the place that was picked, no matter how good it is. There! I said it. And while I'm on the subject... your mom is just like this too. And now you know the rest of my story. Let's summarize: AMELIAS is a very good restaurant and you will enjoy the heck out of your meal. Unless, of course, you insist on being the one who picks where your group goes out to eat-- and you don't get your way. Then, you will find it to be, "pretty good", but complain about it later in bed. (I know this is supposed to be a restaurant review, and not a mini-soap opera. But I hope you enjoyed our little dive into the psychology of relationships.) Until next time, this is the guy who will be sleeping on the couch for a night or two if my beloved happens to read this. (lol--she will find humor in this...and, of course, disagree with my "junior-psychologist" interpretation of why she thought Amelias was just okay. )

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.
