James BremerAugust 17, 2016The spinach and mushroom enchiladas are very good. Tuesday evening is happy hour, 1/2 price for margaritas and all other drinks.- Don't listen to the haters. This is good Mexican food and awesome margaritas! You want mystery meat covered in chili powder, go to Taco Bell.
Stephen MoracoMay 25, 2013Fun to see one of my favorite restaurants show up closer to us on the north side of the springs! Been coming to amanda's for years!- One if the bartenders turned me on to this. Get the house margarita and have them add slices of fresh jalapeño! AWESOME!!
- Anja WilliamsOctober 4, 2014Love this place ..they salsa is delicious the service is superb. love this place .
Tom DonahueJanuary 19, 2016I am always disappointed when I go to a restaurant after the lunch hour and service is very very slow. My server was more interested in chatting with the bartender then tending to her tables.
Meredith MasseDecember 19, 2015Overpriced for barely average food. When sides (rice & tasteless beans) take up more plate than wimpy main...? Mole was BLAND (boo!). Margaritas too sweet. Service inattentive. One plus: great salsa.
- Katherine LeybaMarch 30, 2014Menudo is very salty and no chili flavor and not enough green sauce on the enchiladas. Nice staff but our waitress didn't know what chili piquin is.
CeaCeaMay 5, 2013I had combo meal. Tamales and chili r. Horrible food. No taste no flavor..chimi that husband had had beans in it hardly any meat....ugh rice beans cold slaw horrible. Waste of $$$$
Ellen FenterJanuary 4, 2014Not so good. Feels like fast food. Definitely prefer the manitou location.- Shay RusseOctober 28, 2013The food was ok, but not as good as the Manitou location. Beans were dry and soup was over cooked.
