Amealco Mexican Kitchen

We reserve their space for a birthday celebration and Ruben went above and beyond to help us with the celebration. They let you create your own menu and he was always communicating with me at all times. The food is delicious and they take the time to know you not only to serve you. This is a family business that also gives back to a small community in Mexico. The food is authentic and the drinks options are great. I will definitely recommend this place.

Spacious and nice decor in the dining room. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. The restaurant has a weird odor, you will smell it when you just walked in, and even stronger when you walk toward the back/restroom area. The service was on the slow end, especially when we were finishing our meal, trying to get our waiter to come get us the bill, had to wait over 10 minutes just to get her attention, and bill/payment processing took another 5-10 minutes. It wasn't a very busy time at the restaurant, only like 5-6 tables, so it was a bit of shocked why things took so long.

The food was just okay. The taco meat was pretty dry, I don't feel they worth $4-$4.5 each, they are probably more $2-$3 max value. The $16 shrimp quesadilla is also a bit pricey, wish they give more rice or other side items (sour creme, veggie, salsa, etc).

There is also a ~4% "CC Fee", which was not explained to us about what is the charge for. And I assume it might be credit card fee, but when bill came, they would not know if we are paying cash or credit card, so if this is credit card usage fee, pre-added this to the bill isn't the right way to do.

All in all, we might not return in the future. Hope improvements can be made.

Laura was absolutely wonderful. She assisted us with any questions we had regarding the menu and she has a very kind and friendly personality. The presentation of the food, the flavors and temperature was great.

Just finishing up our first experience here, really great! One thing that stood out was how fresh everything was, also not incredibly salty like so many other Mexican restaurants. The service was excellent as well. Our family of 4 all enjoyed it, we will be back!

First time at Amealco was nice! We received great service, and both the drinks and the food were delicious. Ordered the Aquachile, Mole rojo, and Enchiladas Queretanas, all of which were excellent. Also got the pan de elote for dessert and it was great. Highly recommend this place!
