" I was really looking forward to trying Tacos Ameca after hearing so much about it. The ambiance had a nice rustic charm. Unfortunately, I must say that I found the service to be a bit lackluster, and they seemed a bit disorganized. However, the food was delicious! I tried the carnitas tacos and found them to have a great flavor, but the tortilla was not as warm as I expected. I will give it another shot hoping for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy we found Tacos Ameca. The flavor in their dishes is unmatched! I had a burrito that was just huge and overflowing with fresh ingredients. The vibe was lively, and great for families, but do be aware they can get pretty busy! Still, the service was friendly and warm. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gotta say, Tacos Ameca is hitting all the right notes with their tacos. The asada taco was mouthwatering, and the salsa bar had the freshest toppings. Service was quick, but there was a bit of a wait during the busy lunch hour. Still, absolutely worth coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love their birria tacos! They are so flavorful and come with a rich consomé. The handmade tortillas are the cherry on top. The staff is usually friendly, but they can be overwhelmed during lunch rush. Regardless of the service, the food is what keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Tacos Ameca, I finally decided to give it a go. The place was busy, which usually tells me something great is happening! I opted for their al pastor tacos and a side of guacamole. The tacos were delightful with the right blend of spices, and the tortillas were superb. Just be prepared for a little wait on busy evenings, but it’s definitely worth it for good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to taco spot, and for good reason! Their portion sizes are generous, and it's hard to find a better deal in Gilroy for authentic Mexican food. The ambiance is lively, especially during karaoke night! The staff has always been friendly, even during busy times. If I could give them more than five stars, I would! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been visiting Tacos Ameca for years, and it never disappoints! Their homemade tortillas elevate the tacos to another level. I particularly love their al pastor tacos; the flavor is just incredible! The atmosphere feels cozy, and the friendly staff always make me feel welcome. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in Gilroy! " (*Curated Review*)
