Editorial Review for Amaya's Taco Village – by Citysearch Editors
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.

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.

The service was great. However, I did not quite like the food. The cheese is low grade, the homemade taco shells tasted stale which makes me wonder if they are made ahead and then re-heated. The tamales were mushy and the meat in all of the dishes didn't have any flavor whatsoever. I didn't hate the experience but it was comparable to eating a TV dinner.
Pros: Service
Cons: Tastiness of food
