   Much better than last time. So very pleased. We will be back . Even the other guests are nice people and you can actually converse with them. It’s a great place to fine.

   A friend recommended Amelia’s to us and we were not disappointed. We were seated immediately and enjoyed the patio which was comfortable for an early dinner. The house margaritas were fine but the food stole the show! I had street tacos and asked my server to decide which 3. This did not disappoint. I had shrimp, pork and a carne, all well seasoned, tender and delicious. We’ll be back again to try some of the other delicious menu options! A great dining experience overall

   This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant in Tucson. We have gone twice now and had great experiences both times. The staff is friendly and service is prompt. The salsa for the chips has great flavor. Cocktails are fantastic. The enchiladas with green sauce and the seafood molchajette are our favorites so far. We will definitely be returning soon!

   The prices are very reasonable, the service was exceptional , the main course was superb and very large, same with the margarita. The chips and sides were more mundane but the main course made up for those. We will be back soon.

   I want to absolutely love this place, and I want them to succeed, along with their brother restaurant Humo. For now, I have to make the excuse that they’re working out the kinks coupled with notoriety of a Beard nomination. Issues include the fact that the menu is not online.  They have a robust breakfast menu, but it’s not to be found on the website unless I’m doing something incorrectly. It’s noisy, very loud with music turned up so much so that last night the server and one of my guests miscommunicated on the entrée and it wasn’t corrected. I had a dish one evening that’s on the menu and when I discussed it on a subsequent visit the server denied they ever had it on the menu even though it’s still there. I don’t think a server is supposed to argue with a customer anyway, especially one with a photo of the dish. Other than that, their sauces are exquisite, which is what it’s all about

   So glad we made a reservation! The food and service was fantastic. The kid’s quesadillas hit the mark for our children. Wife loved the tacos and I will be back for another breakfast burrito. A must try, and a place we will return to so we can explore other parts of the menu.

   Food and margarita drink was delicious. We made reservations for 7:45 and didn’t get seated until 8:15. Service could be improved but overall good experience.

    Superb food - especially the quesabirria and shrimp tacos - and friendly, attentive service. Amelia’s was packed on the Saturday night we visited. The noise level was high but we were still able to converse comfortably.
