They sat us 45 minutes late for our reservation. Food was terrible and came out at different times. There was a hair in the fajitas. Tasteless beans. Very loud.

The Birria Taco/Ramen soup dish was excellent and very flavorful. Luckily we made reservations on OpenTable as there was a long wait for those who didn't. We were seated right on time. Be prepared to wait for a while as we came in with a bunch of other diners at the same time so our food took awhile to get to us. We would definitely come back as we want to sample their other dishes, especially their breakfast items. The value for what you get is worth it. Paying was very easy, the waiters come to you with their card scanners so everything is handled right at your table. I highly recommend the restaurant.

We always debate which great Mexican restaurant to go to in Tucson. This was our first time at Amelia’s. We will definitely be back. The food was delicious and the service friendly and attentive. And, it’s true- the quesabirria is outstanding!

The food was good. Little tiny thimbles for salsa. Had to break chips to get salsa. Music way to load for conversation.
