Awesome experience overall having dinner and cocktails here. The Amá margarita and the Negroni Mexico are especially good. And I’m not a huge dessert person but the rice pudding was unique and superb.
Came here on a recommendation from a friend, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The staff was super friendly. I asked them about portion sizes and any dishes they'd recommend. My favorite was the puffy shell shrimp taco.
This is the best DTLA happy hour deal I've found . Every component of these generous nachos ($10) is a step above, from the queso to the pickled jalapenos to the chips themselves. The margarita ($11) was strong but the Michelada ($8 x2 🤙) really stands out. Not busy yet but the bartender clearly kno
Sensational. The best tex-mex cuisine I have ever tasted. We were seriously full. I had the vegetarian enchiladas, rice and beans, selection of starters, oh and I discovered tequila! Greeted with a smile, thanks Eddy.
The food was great! I had the Mexican crispy half chicken. It was pleasantly satisfying, and it was as healthy as a dish like that could be! The portion size was large enough for two people. The pitcher of margaritas had LOTS of ice. I wish it had less ice as it watered down the drink. The people we
Amazing food! What a pleasant surprise. I had just gotten into town and stumbled upon this place in search of Mezcal in the area. While my drink was amazing, the food was the star! The only reason this isn’t a 5 star review is because our table was not ready, but we were offered to sit on the outsid
Food was great, service was great.
Only down side was the 18% service charge. I understand what it's for, but it does kinda put a damper on the evening. Plus it's taxed and if you use that to help you calculate the tip, your tip includes the service charge.
I would definitely go back sooner and mo
A few months ago the Food 52 cookbook club on Facebook (around 35,000 members) cooked from the Bar Amá cookbook and everyone fell in love with Tex-Mex, Josef Centeno's family stories, the absolutely excellent recipes, and the alcohol section too. When I finally decided to fly after months and months
We love Bar Amá— one of our favorite neighborhood spots. It’s cute inside, the food is so comforting/delicious and the service is always prompt and friendly. The Mom’s Green Enchiladas is our favorite dish— cheesy, warm, citrusy and delightful. Can’t go wrong with the house marg, queso or guac, eith
I came to Bar Amá for one thing: puffy tacos. Bar Amá's Mexican-American chef (and recent Michelin Star winner), Josef Centeno, is from San Antonio, the city that invented the puffy taco. The puffy taco, a Tex-Mex staple, has made a slow migration to Southern California, now with (at least) two rest
Bar Ama was a blast! I had a wonderful and delicious lunch here!
I was walking around downtown and came upon this place, and I decided to stop by since I had heard good things about it previously!
I was promptly seated and engaged with very responsive and friendly waiters.
The interior is very con
The Puffy Tacos were the Bomb!! After watching Taco Chronicles on Netflix I was like ok I will head over to Amácita's give these Tex-Mex tacos a try. Last time in Texas, Mexican tacos and food tasted bland. Swore to never eat Tex-Mex again! After eating these Puffy Taco with cochinita pibil mmmmmm d
Awesome happy hour food selections. Good service, cheap drinks and delicious small plates. What more can you ask for?
Incredible Mexican cuisine! The only thing we ordered that wasn't EXCEPTIONAL was the guacamole. The queso, hamachi ceviche (pictured), and entrees were absolutely delicious. They also carry Chef Josef's unique sodas which were delicious as well!
Great food and cocktails, definitely worth a visit!
