    The street tacos were fun to try. Pastor was really good. Enjoyed the birria. Friendly staff. If I lived in Tucson, I’d be a regular customer.

    We were sat at a cocktail table, right under the AC vent. Right next to a window with the people next to us, practically on top of us. There’s no way that dinner plates would have fit on the cocktail table. We felt like sardines in a can, in the small area where they sat us at. We asked to be moved and they refused. What a shame as the smells coming from the kitchen were excellent. The hostess had an attitude!

    This restaurant serves up tasty dishes, albeit smaller portions than other Mex establishments. What I noticed right away was the small spacings between tables. Yeah, Amelia's is a small place but I couldn't help feeling the wist of the air wake made by the servers walking past. Ordered their only "IPA" , tasted good but barely hopped. I think their newer restaurant on Oracle is larger, will try that.
