    Amelia's is a local gem. Their food is some of the best in Tucson (even featured in the New York Times!). This little strip mall restaurant is always deservedly busy. Although the space is decorated lovely inside, it's jut not large enough to accommodate the crowd. But, that's okay. The food quality and presentation is worth the wait. Don't miss the birria tacos with caldo ! My husband loves the shrimp tacos. Burros come drenched in amazing sauces that are unique and beautiful. Amelia's is a perfect example of the Tucson Foodie Culture - not to be missed!

    We had heard about Amelia's Kitchen and finally decided to try it. We just returned from Mexico and are newly-inspired to try different kinds of Mexican food. Amelia's live up to our expectations, and then some. With native Spanish-speaking staff, we felt like we were back in Mexico! We didn't realize how small the restaurant is, so were happy we'd made a reservation. We will definitely eat there again.

    I had the Bloody Maria and the spinach tamal. Both very good! My husband and his friend had the shrimp chimichanga with red and green sauce - it was huge! Very tasty! My husband's uncle had the carne asada burrito - also very big and very good! We come here often and will be back.

    Very solid food and drinks. Grant Rd location is small so it will get a bit noisy.

    When we first got there it was very cold. I spoke to the server about it and that was corrected right away. The service was great, and the food was excellent.
