Our food was fresh and delicious. Tasted homemade, prepared with care. Great ambience. The owners, Ruben and his sister Kenia (sp) were very friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend this restaurant. Our server, Maricruz, patiently helped us with the many menu choices. We look forward to our next dinner at Amealco.
We went here for lunch on a Saturday. The inside is eye-catching (love the decor) and spacious. You can seat in the booth, at the bar, or table-chair. The Chilaquiles queretanos is average. The tortilla chips became soggy after a while. The chicken is dry. A little bit heavy for my stomach because of the beans and cheese (toot toot all day). The flautas are always my fav, doesn't matter which restaurant I am going to. They are crunchy tortillas rolled and filled with shredded chicken. Dipped in the spicy sauce-gawd dang. The tacos were so-so. Nothing much to say about them- love the fish taco tho. The churros were a miss. Where was the chocolate dip? Why ice cream? It melt when the churros touched it, making it looked unappetizing after (esp with choco drizzle). This place is more like American-Mexican fusion. Can be expensive.
I enjoyed this authentic Mexican restaurant. It is well decorated with flowers and native pieces. The restaurant is mid-sized so better for average sized parties. The bar offerings are heavily tequila based but the price is a little high for the drink size. I ordered and liked the Bugambilia. For dinner I ordered tacos, asada and al pastor, with rice and beans. The meat in both were tasty but were just meat and corn tortillas without any additional toppings. My friend ordered the molcajete which smelled and looked very good. The service was acceptable for a large group. I expect it would be amazing for a regular sized party.
I stumbled upon this place when my parents wanted to try out Mexican food. Knowing that there's a lot of options, I wanted to try out something that I've never had before. Knowing that this place isn't too far, and it's on BuHi, we came to visit. There was plenty of seating when we came here and we were welcomed. As usual, we were given chips with salsa. For appetizers we also ordered guacamole. The guac wasn't your usual salty, they used the cheese to bring out the salt content. Every dish we ordered was seasoned very well. Overall, I thought Amealco was great. I would definitely recommend anyone to come here and eat. The Al pastor was great and it was flavored super well. The service was great as well.
The place was clean, service was great and food was top notch. Delicious! Would definitely recommend!!!
This is now one of our fav Restaurants We Love the rosemary potatoes the seasoning is really good we also Order some drinks and we love I got the chili pineapple and It's Just perfect the flavor thanks you karina for the best service.
LOCATION AND PARKING This gem is located on Buford Highway about 6 minutes away from the Buford Highway Farmers Market. It is in the area of where I live, so I am so happy that there's such a yummy and aesthetic restaurant near me. There is lots of parking, it is located in a plaza surrounded by other restaurants. SERVICE The service was pretty slow at first, we went at around 9pm on a Wednesday. The restaurant was slow, it consisted of us and one other table. However, we had a great server. FOOD AND DRINKS We received some chips and salsa as soon as we sat down. I had looked at the menu prior to coming so I already knew what I wanted. They make the food fresh so there's only a limited amount late at night, 2 of the dishes I was interested in weren't available. However, our server quickly came up with a delicious recommendation being the Pollo Poblano. It did not disappoint! My friend ordered a variety of tacos to try and she ended up loving them all. The cocktails are also yummy, I enjoyed the mezcal. AMBIANCE The restaurant itself is gorgeous. It is so clean and I love the vibe it brings. The bar is beautiful and the colorful decor is so pleasant.
I got a random ad on insta that said this restaurant was having a party with Mezcal flights and I dropped everything and went lol. This restaurant is located within the global forum shopping center off Buford Highway. There is plenty of free parking in the parking lot. When I first got there I was a little surprise that they were having a "party" because there was a bunch of families w/little kids and everything but to be fair it was still daylight outside. There was a DJ there when I went so that was cool. The restaurant had a pretty nice ambience and was a lot larger than I thought it was going to be from the outside. We were greeted by wait staff immediately. Put in my drink order and got the smoky Mezcal margarita. It was delicious and it was great to get a drink that wasn't $18. Tbh my friend, and I only came here to drink but, after a few sips we decided we'd need something to snack on. But, first I ordered more margaritas and they were all great. Eventually we moved onto flights my friend got the tequila flight and I got the Mezcal flight, the Mezcal was Del Maguey Vida. I like that the bartender gave me mine with oranges with Tajín, yum! For an app we got the guacamole con Chapulines (grasshoppers) I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it had a really good flavor and I enjoyed the crunch. Eventually, once it got a little later, the party did start. I came to the conclusion that this is probably a family restaurant and everyone in there was friends or family. I say that to say everyone was warm and friendly. People started getting up and dancing then eventually I got up too lol, some people were in the corner drinking, some were in the booth talking enjoying each other's company. It felt good being there and honestly reminded me of being back home. Naturally, after all the drinking and dancing, I got hungry and ordered the Carnitas Santa Rosa. It was soo good, I love carnitas it's my go to dish and it was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor. It also came with nopales that were cold, next time I'll ask for them a little warm. Also the only thing I would add is a tortilla ( which I guess I could've asked for one). The ensalada was interesting because the dressing was like a sesame style dressing it was different but, it went well imo. My friend ordered the burrito and literally ate it in like 5mins so I'm assuming it was delicious. I really enjoyed myself, my food, drinks, and experience. I would definitely come back!
