" Had a blast last weekend at Ama Cocina! The environment was electric. We’re foodies and walked away satisfied, especially with the flavorful birria tacos. The only downside was the wait time. We really wanted to try their specials but ended up late to our show. Feel like it’s a place to visit early evening for a better experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I were thrilled to try Ama Cocina after hearing raving reviews. The food was delicious but not quite what I would expect from authentic Mexican cuisine. The service was spot on, and the margaritas were delightful; I really enjoyed the hibiscus one. More authentic flavors in the tacos would elevate the experience even further. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience at Ama Cocina! I was really impressed by the creativity of the dishes. Ordered a mixed platter and it came out flawless! The waitstaff were courteous, and I enjoyed the fun vibe in the restaurant. The only minor drawback was the portion size of the dessert—it felt a tad small for what it cost. Overall, a solid dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ama Cocina is a delight for the senses! The food is incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor, which is a must for any Mexican restaurant. I ordered the pork tacos that truly captured the essence of street food. Perfect seasoning! The service was good, and the overall atmosphere was fun and friendly. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just another lovely evening at Ama Cocina! The ambiance was vibrant as usual, and the assorted tacos we ordered were sublime. The bartender whipped up some creative cocktails that paired well with our food. The only thing that felt a tad lacking was the variety of vegan options. Otherwise, absolutely fantastic call for dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed my evening at Ama Cocina! The decor was colorful and lively, and they had a great selection of drinks. The staff really went out of their way to accommodate us. However, my tacos were just a bit soggy; I like them with a bit more crunch. All in all, a very pleasant experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've sampled a variety of Mexican restaurants and I must say: Ama Cocina is up there on my list. The margaritas were well-crafted. I ordered the queso and it was more than decent. My main dish, the chicken enchiladas, were fine but a little spicy for my taste. Overall, a solid dinning experience lovely for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)
