Reviews for Amelia’s Rustic Mexican Restaurant in Hillsboro, OR
First time visiting Hillsboro in years, stumbled into Amelia's randomly for lunch and Wow. The Enchiladas Verde plate and fish... tacos were so good I dropped in a few days later and had to order those same things. Amazing. Better than anything I've foundback home in LA. I'm sure the rest of the menu is great. Definitely stopping in again once back in town. Read more
So my friend I decided to drop by to Amelia's on a whim and it was by far the best spontaneous decision yet! I've never been and... I was feeling really home sick as a California girl, so the ambience made me feel right at home. Everything was lovely, thesmell of the food brought back memories of my moms kitchen, the music in the background were songs my Mexican father played backin the day. And the food, goodness gracious. The portions were huge! The prices might look expensive on the menu but trust meyou will be well fed. In my picture I included the burrito I ate and threw in a silverware knife for scale. The food isabsolutely delicious and gave me the nostalgic food memory flash back like in Ratatouille where the goth food review guy eatsand is reminded of his mom's food. I felt like I was eating my mom's cooking again. They also have tasty vegan options which isgreat! If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food and don't mind a possible food coma, then by all means give this place ashot! Read more

Their new tacquiera menu for this location is 100% the experience I've been looking for since moving to the beautiful PNW from... the South. Authentic Mexican food was everywhere, and the food scene is way better up here, but I did miss the Mexicancuisine. I've been fortunate enough to have many trips to Mexico, and I've always loved their food and culture. This placerecreated it perfectly for me. The mole burrito, tamales, and nachos...it was like being teleported back. I was absolutely blownaway. I even bought a generous amount to take home of the table salsa they sent as an appetizer. I can't wait to try their newlocation's menu. Read more
Great authentic Mexican food. Queso Fundido was pretty good. More creamy than stringy. Beers were large and margaritas were... delicious. Read more
Amelia's us a very good authentic Mexican restaurant. They have recently streamlined their menu, eliminating my one go to dish... posole.That to me was probably the best dish on the menu and my main reason for going. It was amazing. hopefully they'll bringit back. We had the chicken enchiladas with the green tomatillo sauce absolutely delicious. Perfectly dressed and cooked. Wealso shared the bowl, it's like a taco salad but way better very well put together with fresh vegetables this particular bowlwas topped with El pastor between the two sharing it was more than enough food for two people with leftovers. Although the menuhas been streamlined they're still worth the visit as the service and food is top notch. As always remember be mindful be happybe you. Choose well.???? Read more
The Enchiladas Verdes plate, and Fish Taco that I got ala carta were SO good!
I am from Southern California, and I know good...
Mexican food, and have been so missing it since I moved up here 6 years ago. Eating here was like eating authentic Mexicanfood.
There wasn't a single bit of the food that I didn't love. The beans were AMAZING, the enchiladas we just like my Mexicanfriends' mother makes, and the rice was downright tasty.
I only got the fish taco as an add-on because I am never quite sure ifI'll like a restaurant's version of a fish taco. But it was fantastic as well! The only minor note would be that I couldn'tfully hold it like a taco because it was so filled. But I mean, that's not really a bad thing. It was yummy and messy, andenjoyable to eat.
Also, I normally eat half of the food when I dine out, and save the rest for leftovers, but that did NOThappen this time. I just didn't want to stop eating! And now I am so full ????(
I have come here a lot over the years. I have tried most of their food and most are pretty good! My favorites are choriqueso,... quesabirrias, and the loco burrito. Staff has always been friendly and accommodating. There is a small parking lot in the backif you're driving to downtown Hillsboro to eat there. Read more
