Amelia’s Rustic Mexican Restaurant

Always a great time here, even when short-staffed. Johnny does a great job both behind the bar and covering as server. Food is spot-on. Dog friendly outside seating.

Friendly severs, and the Burrito Azabache was super delicious! Lovely patio seating in the sun during lunch! We'll be back!

Ordered the Mole Burrito, very good. Personally I like their mole, was rich and just the touch of cacao in it, good contrast to the contents. Lots of chicken in the burrito, and it filled up 2/3rds of to go container. I highly recommend adding on extra sour cream or guacamole (4oz), but that’s my personal preference. Was good amount of food for price. Also it came out FAST. I dropped by to order, and I didn’t even get a chance to drink half my ice water before it came out, with utensils for a to-go order. I’ll be back to try their other food .).

1st time eating there, next time in Hillsboro, I plan to eat there. 😋 tried a new dish, Quesabarilla yummy 😋

I love Amelia’s food, but a few months ago they greatly changed their menu in a very negative way. They serve great tacos, you used to be able to purchase individual tacos and other items on their menu which was my favorite way of ordering from them - now you must order a taco plate which comes with beans and rice and is disproportionately more expensive. It comes with three street tacos, which I find to be too few, but I’m certainly not going to order another full plate just to get the number of tacos I’d like. It’s not only tacos, but a variety of other dishes must be ordered as full plates too.

Ordered chicken tamales. Meh flavor, no spice, only a few pieces of chicken. Texture of tamale was over steamed, very wet. Street tamales I buy are much better.

Came here to eat after a long day. Was seated promptly after arriving. I ordered food and all was going well. Once food arrives, suddenly the service went down. We didn’t receive ANY HELP.

No refills for water, drinks, nothing. We finished eating after about 20 minutes. Nothing from our server. Shortly after, I saw my server clocking out and no one came to check on us or ask if we were done. Instead, I see someone else going around, taking other people’s tabs, assisting them, etc.

I received assistance after about 40 minutes of sitting around from a younger lady who asked if I would like a refill. Me and my partner asked for the manager because why did no one come to check on us. I don’t expect someone in our business 24/7 but it’s easy to see an empty glass on the end of the table. Yes, I understand the other server has his own tables and all but, why would I sit around in a chair for over 40 minutes, obviously awaiting assistance.

We get told there is no manager, we ask for a number, only to find out there isn’t anyone we can speak to through a number, email, nothing. The man who was speaking to us was a “back-up manager” due to their hierarchy, but instead of de-escalating the situation, he began to yell at us.

The server then told us that the OWNERS never stop by their own restaurant and that there was no way to reach them. He said to just leave a review, like I am now and hope that they respond.

To me it felt like, I was purposely being ignored because I was with another male and we were eating together. I understand that the Hispanic community isn’t very open to these sort of things, as I come from said community. But how about we keep that at home? I’m a customer in a restaurant, not your son at home.

I will not be eating here again and I do not recommend coming by here ever. I don’t expect the best of the best but you will not feel cared for here. Don’t waste your money here.

I love their food. Great staff also.

My order was completely wrong. My friends order was made wrong.

Great food, my favorite Mexican restaurant for flavor but the speed of service is crazy. 1 server for the whole place. It took 15 minutes to see the server

Great place for Mexican food!

Great food. I recommend the choriqueso!

Great tacos!

Also good food and friendly people. I liked the strawberry limeade.

Menu has clearly marked gluten free items. However, when I asked how a Menu item was made, our server checked with the kitchen and reported back that wheat flour was used in the egg coating. Although marked gf, it definitely wasn't.

As someone who is unable to eat wheat and gluten for medical reasons, the fact that the menu is inaccurate could have been devastating.
