What People Are Saying About Amaya's Taco Village

In Short – It's a big utilitarian-looking room, but people pack the place for the food, not the decor. The clientele reflects a cross section of Austin's population. On weekends you'll no doubt find a line. The Mexican plate comes loaded with a taco, a tamale, a cheese enchilada, refried beans and rice. For meat lovers, the combo platter comes loaded with tender beef fajitas, huge pork and beef ribs, a roasted chicken breast, grilled onions and peppers.

Completely and utterly disgusting.
by lmendolia
This is by far the worst plate of cheese enchilada's I have ever had. The tomatillo sauce was basically cheap, green-colored corn oil. ZERO flavor. Cheap cheese and thick, chewy tortillas. Aside from this, it was highly overpriced even though the menu said the enchiladas were the special for Monday at $5.99 (and it was actually Monday), my bill was over $10 after tip.
First and absolutely the last trip! If you appreciate AUTHENTIC Mexican cuisine, this is NOT the place for it!
- Pros: None
- Cons: "Tomatillo mystery sauce"

Best cheese enchilladas
by silverlights58
Great cheese enchilladas and home made corn tortillas. This place is busy on the weekdays for lunch so get it to go. Make sure you get an order of the chips and hot sauce....it's fantastic.
- Pros: The food
- Cons: The Wait

LOVE IT
by mexicanfoodlver
I absolutely love this restaurant. They have got great customer service and their menu is easy to look over. Their cheese enchiladas are the best. But if you are a meat kind of person, I would certainly get the ribs. It is so delicious. I usually share that plate with another person. I would totally recommend Amaya's to someone else.
