    food was excellent. I rarely finish my prime rib at other restaurants but last night I ate every bite and the sides too. service was above excellent. our server was personable and quick to replenish drinks and checked on us throughout the meal. just a great meal although the only criticism I have is the price. while expensive it ultimately was worth the cost.

    Amelia's is a local gem. Their food is some of the best in Tucson (even featured in the New York Times!). This little strip mall restaurant is always deservedly busy. Although the space is decorated lovely inside, it's jut not large enough to accommodate the crowd. But, that's okay. The food quality and presentation is worth the wait. Don't miss the birria tacos with caldo ! My husband loves the shrimp tacos. Burros come drenched in amazing sauces that are unique and beautiful. Amelia's is a perfect example of the Tucson Foodie Culture - not to be missed!
