About Ama’s taqueria y cocina

Ama's Taqueria y Cocina is a family-owned restaurant serving authentic Mexican food made with love. The menu features a variety of dishes, including the popular potato rolled tacos, chicharron prensado gordita, chicken Huarache, and pambazo. The pambazo, similar to a torta, is a standout dish with its tomato-based sauce-grilled telera bread, chorizo, potatoes, and toppings. The Huarache, a flat, oval-shaped fried masa base topped with refried beans, meat, and various toppings, is another favorite. Customers praise the delicious food, especially the cheese enchiladas with handmade corn tortillas and the bean and cheese burrito. The dishes have a very homemade Mexican flavor, with the sope also receiving high praise for its soft yet crunchy dough and tasty stews. The place offers a colorful, authentic Mexican decor and welcomes guests to dine inside or outside. Prices are very affordable, especially considering the high quality of food and service. Visitors often enjoy the fresh, not overly sweet hibiscus water and note the friendly staff. The restaurant is highly recommended for anyone wanting to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine in a welcoming setting.
