Good food when it's good, but that's a shot in the dark. I keep giving them another chance but they keep skimping big time on the super burritos. I get home and it's literally a barebones regular burrito, meat beans and rice. A couple times I mentioned "last time my super burrito was a regular burrito" then they make a special burrito nice and full that time. But I go back the next week and back to barely any cheese anywhere and I'm not exaggerating, literally a single pinch tucked away at one end. For the fourth time no sour cream in the super burrito at all, why am I paying 9.99 for a burrito with the same ingredients as the one that cost 7.99? Again, tasty when they get it right, but 5 out of 8 tries here have been wrong or hugely skimped so- I gotta call it quits, I'll try somewhere else. I've been working as a cook in restaurants too long to consider this a single mistake, this place is pretty consistently not great. read more

Wow! Had one of the best veggie burritos I've found in the South Bay! We got a super spicy batch of salsa and enjoyed it a lot. We are coming back this week to try the michelada. I think Tacos Ameca is going to be a family favorite. read more

THIRDS TIMES A CHARM! Tacos Ameca #3 hits different than the first two. My husband picked up a late dinner to go last night on his way into town and the food was great. Still hot when he got home from Morgan Hill and our Michis were still cold. (Perk to Pandemic is the TOGO Beers!!) I had the Carnitas Super Burrito and it was Perfect! The meat was very flavorful and not dried out. Also homemade tortillas is always a plus. Definitely giving this place another go. read more

I really wanted to like this place because they do have hand made tortillas but it's not worth the money. Very pricey for the food.

Ive been working in restaurants for a long time , he give the best service that you want to get , He explain a few dishes for us and he went over the expectation and give us a great service , he is the reason we go to ameca ! Thanks you Israel read more

Tacos Ameca #3 - Mexican Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Probably the most authentic, clean Mexican food location in the area. Fresh tortillas for tacos and burritos. Made to order chips. Homemade salsa variations- delicious! Add freshly grilled onion chunks! This place is a must try! read more

Lack of service. Low food quality. Overpriced. This place is extremely packed but so is McDonald's. First off I am aware of what traditional Mexican food should look like and this did not even meet my low expectations. The workers are very clueless and all over the place from how disorganized the whole place is run. The ice machine was empty when we got there. The salsas and other condiments were pretty much empty. People were just standing and waiting for things to be refilled. The fresh waters were extremely sugary and lacked authenticity. The food was embarrassing. I ordered two mulitas which keep in mind has tomatoes, lettuce, cheese etc. This mulita had cheese and meat. And apparently it was worth over $8. If I had wanted a quesadilla I would've ordered that instead. Our tacos were also just meat. The meat portions are huge but it doesn't make a difference if there is no actual flavor to it. I'm assuming the price is high because you get unlimited condiments. But those condiments consist of salsa, onions, and cilantro. There are many other options for good Mexican food and this is definitely not the place. read more

Haven't tried the food I just ordered yet. I'm just writing this while in my car ready to head out. I didn't feel welcomed. I watched the staff treat others nice than the cold shoulder that I received. But who knows, maybe because they're regular or it's my fault. But yeah. I hope the food is great though. I'll come back for it if so. read more

Tacos are good! I always get asada, this review is for the cashier who took my order. Short girl with glasses who didn't even he say hello! Didn't make much of it until she started giving me attitude for the way I was ordering my food. My order was out pretty quick, I asked her (nicely btw) if I gave the pager back to her. She rolled her eyes and pointed to where thy gave the food and said "over there". Again, just shrugged it off and went to put it in a bin. After this I went back to her stand and asked her if I may have a box please. She said "box or aluminum". I said box for the second time. She then had the audacity to ask me what I wanted it for. At this point I am fed and dropped all my politeness and told her "because I need it". She rolled her eyes again and gave it to me. I went about my way grabbed my sauces, cucumbers, and limes. She then left the register to tell me that I couldn't do that and that it was "against" their regulations. I have been coming here for years and the other cashiers have never had a problem. Hire ppl that know what customer service actually means!! read more

Highly recommend! The food, service and everything was perfect. Omg, Carnitas Machete is amazing!!!

Food is ok.. the tortilla for my burrito seemed to be made fresh which was probably the highlight of my experience. The menu was a bit limited. They didn't even have guacamole on the menu. The young lady ringing me up was a bit rude and cold. She didn't bother to tell me they didn't have guacamole when I had ordered "chips and guacamole". She could've simply told me they had a guacamole- like salsa substitute at the salsa bar but didn't bother to tell me that. I had to get my order & ask where my guacamole was to find out they didn't serve that on the menu. What taqueria doesn't serve guacamole ? Anyways, I go up to ask for to go containers. The young lady was still there but on her phone - texting or something - and didn't bother to acknowledge me. It look like she had just gotten off. She almost seemed to be the daughter of the owners or maybe a niece. There was another lady there (maybe her mom or aunt) who took quite a bit of time that she would be with me in just a second. I practically felt ignored for a bit as I stood in front of the cash register. Customer service goes a long way especially when the food was a tad on the mediocre end. Good thing I was just passing through the city and don't have any plans to stop by again. read more

First taqueria I tried in Morgan Hill and thought it was average. Nothing extraordinary, but satisfied my craving. I tried the super nachos with brisket. I don't typically see brisket as an option at Mexican restaurants so it seemed like the best choice. They gave a good portion of meat and it was tender, but a tad under-seasoned. I liked that it had cotija cheese which isn't served at most Mexican restaurants I've been to. What held this back from 4 stars is better quality chips and something to really make the nachos "super", such as guacamole. read more

Tacos Ameca #3 - Super Nachos (Brisket) - Mexican Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

I would give it 5 stars if not for one annoying quality of this place: THE NOISE OF CHAIRS DRAGGING ON THE FLOOR. if you eat there, you know what I mean: you're eating your awesome carnitas taco and the person behind you moves their chair by dragging it and not picking it up. BRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHDDGG!! Your peaceful lunch just got interrupted by the world's worst sound. Other than that the best carnitas and al pastor I've ever tasted. read more

We bought some tacos from this place. Carne asada tacos and fish tacos. They were both horrible. The meat tasted and looked like it had been there all day. The fish tacos looked like fish sticks you get out of the frozen section in the grocery store. The total cost for these tacos was $25.00. What a total rip off. Will never recommend or return. read more

I'm a huge fan of their Gilroy location which I almost always go to every time I'm in the Bay. I thought I'd check this location out and save myself part of the drive. I came here with my mom to grab some lunch to go. This location definitely looks newer and is very spacious with plenty of seating. My favorite thing at Tacos Ameca is the torta al pastor. I usually get the large torta (which is ginormous!!) so I can save some for another meal. When I told the woman at the counter I wanted the torta large she gave me a weird look. We waited for our food about 10 mins, got our orders and left. When we got home I was dismayed to find that my torta was asada and not al pastor :( mind you, it was still delicious but I was really craving their al pastor. I might give them another try but if I have time I'd probably rather go to their other location. read more

TL;DR Service was the worst I have ever received at a taco joint 1/10. Pastor burrito was ok, not great 6/10. If you're deciding what to eat and you're standing in line, stop, walk out, and go across the street to Super Taqueria, you'll thank me later. I understand the appeal of homemade tortillas, I really do. They're delicious and add a lot to whatever you get. That being said, there is no reason they need to be made to order. All that does is make your customers angry for waiting 45 minutes for a burrito. I was number 48. I waited 45 minutes for them to even get into the late 40s. Then they started calling higher numbers, and I gave it a good 10 minutes before I went up there and asked where my order was. They took my receipt and (I assume) started making my order. See earlier comment about made-to-order tortillas. No "I'm sorry sir," no "we'll get right on that," just took my receipt and went about their day. After another 10 minutes, my order was finally called. Grand total of over an hour at this restaurant. Pastor was greasy and dry, flavor was bland and salty. Most likely will look the same coming out as it did going in. To top it all off, I ordered avocado, and unless it is a cool new variety of avo that is invisible and tasteless, it was non-existent. Excellent! If you're going to Tacos Ameca (which I would advise against), be sure to bring a very, very long book to read, and possibly your own, more comfortable seating. You'll be there a while. And maybe pre-game with a pepto. read more

So I love tacos ameca gone there since they opened in Gilroy I moved 3 hours away and went into town yesterday and called in an order I thought the price was quite high like $25 too high so I went in the lady insisted it was right I kept asking for a manager she refused to give one. So today I called 3 times to talk to a manager finally got one he said I was over charged gave me the owners phone number. I called got nowhere they wanted me to drive back over there to get a refund of $25 um no not gonna happen. Sad to say they lost our business and the food wasn't as good as it used to be. read more

Overpriced, but the portions are huge! Two tacos will fill you up! They do double layer tortillas and a butt load of meat to top it off! The horchata here is surprisingly amazing. I also got a Vampiro, which was great, but didn't match up to the tacos one bit! The reviews here are both good and bad, so it makes you wonder if it's worth checking out. I've been to the Gilroy location and I recall it never disappoints. The food doesn't take long to be made, so you'll be in and out in no time. read more

Over priced and horrible customer service . They recently made everything that had grilled steak In it for 1$ more .. theyre already expensive as it is for average sized food . They said it was due to COVID making people want more steak lol.. seems ridiculous because I haven't seen any other Mexican restaurant around do this . Also the person who takes the order has been rude TWICE. First time was a man who was rushing me even though there wasn't a line behind me at all or anyone else for that matter . The second time I had to repeat my order four times to the girl at the front and when she asked me to repeat myself the phone rang and she put her hand up to tell me to stop talking so she could answer the phone .... extremely unprofessional. And she got my order wrong . I will never go here again from the food and drinks being overpriced as well as the staff being unfriendly. Don't waste your money here . Plenty of other good and deserving spots around town! read more

Just tried this restaurant and loved the food and service. Freshly made corn tortillas, freshly made salsas, homemade chips made to order, delicious meats and Everyone very friendly, efficient and professional. Liked it so much I've ended up eating there 4 nights in a row! Tried something new each time. Generous serving sizes. Will keep going back to try everything they make. This is now my new go-to for Mexican food. read more

You will pay a premium eating at this location (see stickers on monitor). Same great food, staff and service. Just something worth noting compared to the other location and online food delivery prices. Is it worth it for you? Come check it out. read more

Taco Ameca! The best place to get a super burrito with pastor. I'm so excited and happy they brought into Morgan hill. This place is so clean and "hip" but their charm and originality is still strong! 5 stars all the way read more

I really had a bad experience with one of there cashiers there very rude the food is good just bad service I hate to say it but is not worth going back just lost a good customer read more

Best tacos ever with homemade corn tortillas. I think out of all the meats, the Al Pastor was my absolute favorite. Yum! All you need is some cilantro and some salsa and your good to go! Also, all the people working there were extremely nice. And made sure we had everything we needed. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend. read more

I always come during the week to get tacos el pastor, they are the best I've found anywhere around. The spices that other places skimp on are not used in a shy manor at Tacos Ameca. The warmth of the cinnamon is balanced well with the other spices and really makes the dish. I came today for mendudo, I hadn't tried it here before today. The Pasilla broth is dark red and rich. They add tendon that they must simmer in the pasilla broth overnight because the body that is given to the broth by the collagen and elastin leeching from the tendon is just luxurious. The hot handmade tortillas are so fluffy, it's the perfect texture, ethereal next to the big beautiful flavors in the broth. You have to come here. This is a treasure of a restaurant and exactly the food I missed when I was away from my home state! read more

Food is great. Prob my favorite in the whole Bay Area. Problem is their service is horrible. All the workers I've had experience with have been rude. They really need a crash course in customer service. Maybe they know their food is excellent and just don't care how they treat their loyal customers but if that's the case that's a pretty shitty way of doing business. The food is so good I was contemplating giving 5 stars but I gave 4 stars in hope that the owners or management would take some kind of action and whip their rude ass staff in shape. This place would be a real treasure if they make that simple change. read more

The food is very very good .the customer service can use a tiny bit more of enthusiasm (can't blame them working on weekend) so overall It was good. We tried tortas and tacos and they were very good , feels like you're in Mexico ! The salads are not that good but the food very much makes up for it. Also wish their aguas frescas were authentic , they were not that good go with a soda instead . read more

Amazing! The homemade flour tortilla on the Ameca burrito is so good. The beans, and rice, are so good as well. The chips they fry from their homemade corn tortillas and are just so freaking good. We had our go-to spot in San Jose that we were super sad we wouldn't be able to have with frequency as it's good, but not an hour round trip from San Martin good. If you have never tried it before, please do as it's fantastic! read more

TACOS AMECA was soooo bomb! Best burrito in the South Bay, in my opinion. I had the al pastor super burrito with a side of grilled onions and peppers. It was super duper legit. Best burrito I've had outside of the SF Mission District. Yes, that good!! read more

They need help!!! You never know what you're going to get. It's like a surprise when you get your Togo order home. We were not thrilled with this place. The entire order was wrong. Bean and cheese burrito was beans and rice-no cheese. They didn't put the avocado on tacos we paid extra for. They forgot the tortillas and sour cream for taco salad plus it was the worst salad I've had. They also charged us for beans and rice on salad when we asked for that instead of meat. The salad was over $12. I have had other family member go as well and did not get home with the correct order. Pic of my Taco Salad - the sour cream and tortillas they forgot. read more

Tacos Ameca #3 - Mexican Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Ordered Carnitas and got Tripas, not good for me. Husband went back to exchange and they comped the meal for the error.

*Food is 5 star I'm done. I'm so sick of coming here and them being out of carnitas, this has happenes literally like 10 times. If its a popular iteam you need to supply more, its called SUPPLY AND DEMAND (very basic business knowledge). Its happenes at the Gilroy location as well. Dont have something on your menu if you cant provide it, this isnt rocket science. This is why you have a mediocre yelp rating. Your food is excellent but you need to figure out good business sense. I'm super disappointed and wont be coming back read more

I got the super burrito and I would have to say it was very tasty with the meat nicely marinated and tender. My wife got the sope and she liked it too. I didn't have to wait too long and the service was good. read more

I got a burrito here. I know this restaurant is probably known for their tacos because it is in their name, but I'm a burrito guy. The people working there didn't seem to have a problem when I ordered the burrito, so I felt fine about it. I had been to this place before, but I've never been to this restaurant. This place used to be a sandwich shop. While the sandwiches were good, I'm happy about the restaurant change. I'll take a burrito over a sandwich any day. It doesn't matter if I just ate a burrito. If someone offered me a burrito or a sandwich right after, I'd still go with the burrito. While I'm sad that the sandwich shop went out of business, I'm happy for this new restaurant. For me it was a change for the better, but I can't speak for all those sandwich lovers out there. read more

I had such high hopes for this place, there was a long line and the reviews are great! My friend even recommended me, but unfortunately I was disappointed. I got carne asada tacos and the meat was severely over cooked and charred, making it hard to eat. It was super dry and probably the worst tacos I've ever had. On a good note, their salsas are really good! Don't get them if you can't handle heat, though.i for sure enjoyed it. Also, the tortillas are really good! read more

All the meat is cooked and cut fresh, and made tortillas, phenomenal clean dining area, and amazing customer service. The owner even gave me a huge taco on the house to try the pork and wow it was the best. I will only come here when driving through Morgan Hill read more

Best burritos and salsa bar in town! We love the Al pastor burritos and chicken burritos. The avocado green salsa is the bomb.

Third time trying them and being generous with 3 stars , ordered menudo all 3 times , tasted really good except maybe their are told to put more bone and fat in the undersized container then meat ! 70% bone and fat 30% meat all three times , tortillas good salsa good menudo good , portions !?!? Not so good might fill up my 6 yr old but not a grown man for 16$ read more

OMG - I can't remember the last time I had delicious hand made tortillas. The carnitas were cooked just like I like it - crispy ends without over cooking it. Not much fat. Their salsa bar was also well stocked, including cucumbers in addition to the normal salsas. They also have a pot of beans - I guess if you wanted to put more on your tacos. One pointer from a noob - ask for some sheets of foil if you like your salsas. The cups are tiny. The restaurant is somehow kept clean even with the high flow of people. Everyone seemed to be busy taking orders or fixing up food so I am not sure how they are able to keep up the cleanup. Maybe the customers just chip in. I can't wait to come back. Maybe next time I will take some pictures of my meal before scarfing it down. read more
