Finally tried the OG Tacos Ameca! We got the super burrito with lengua and a steak quesadilla. Everything was delicious, and they have an open salsa bar. The flavor is great, and the portions are generous!

Many options on the menu👍🏻, but would be better if there was some brief English translation, because I dont understand the language and hence didnt even know what meat options were available. Fortunately, the young girl at the cashier patiently explained the options to me and...Read More

All good. Quality of food was good. Flavorful, spicy salsas. Solid mom and pop place. Online pics of menu are out of date. Avocado add-ons vary by item purchased.

They have long operating hours, 9am - 10pm. Quick service with very delicious authentic Mexican food. The taco tortillas are made fresh to order, as well as the tortilla chips. We had the tacos asada and tacos carnitas.

A must stop when I'm traveling back home! I ordered two tacos and of course it's more than enough. They give you an extra homemade tortilla for all the leftover meat that falls off the delicious tacos. Yes ma'am more please! I recommend the avocado...Read More

Inside, there are enough tables to sit. An employee continually cleaned the floor and tables for the customers while music played. While in line, I noticed 2 people were able to go in with their bicycles. The food menu is plentiful but seems too expensive....Read More

The food was amazing- honestly the best Mexican I’ve had. You can tell that these people know how to cook- delicious homemade thick tortillas, roasted veggies and peppers in their dishes, and fresh grilled pineapple slices. The outside doesn’t look like much, and you might...Read More

Burritos are way too pricey 16.00 it’s small and had almost no meat just filler. 2.73 for a bottle of water because the tap water is literally the worst I’ve ever tasted absolutely disgusting I’m assuming all the fountain drinks taste equally delicious. I used...Read More
