Absolutely love Amaya's!!! Their puffy tacos are incredible! Everything else is wonderful, too! If you love a big breakfast, their Migas with cheese are the best!

Very Tasty, Very Fatty

I love Amaya's. I've been eating here since I was young and actually worked there for a little while when I was in high school. Definitely try the Puffy Tacos with beef! You can get a taco plate that comes with rice and beans -- very delicious! I don't care for their queso, but the chips and salsa are tasty. I feel like the puffy tacos USED to be much better in past years, but maybe it's just me. I like to order the deluxe dinner and get 2 enchiladas (no upcharge) instead of the tamale, get the hot plate to go, and eat the chalupa (add beef makes it very yummy) and taco at the restaurant. If you are a light eater like me, it makes for 2 decent sized meals for about 9 bucks. They give you the tin to-go boxes that heat up in the oven perfectly!

They also have a very good breakfast, and my favorite are their breakfast tacos (which you can build your own).

Flautas are a little greasy for me, but are PACKED full of meat (at least the time I ordered them).

I definitely recommend this place, much better than would be expected for a strip-mall tex mex restaurant

YUMMY YUM YUMMY

I live across the street from Amaya's, so we often eat there. And it's not half bad, but other nearby Mexican places like La Palapa and Los Jaliscienses have better food and ambiance.

Food your abuela would approve of

Here's how folk new to Austin can save a lot of time figuring out whether a Mexican restaurant is really good or just another attempt for a local dive. Check out the atmosphere and clientele. I'm convinced that Amayas attracts the locals who know good food because 1) it's not a poorly lit place (so you can actually see what you're putting into your system); 2) the food is ALWAYS fresh; 3) people take their co-workers, children AND their grandmas. Amayas is especially good for breakfast and lunch as the prices are affordable and competitive.

Everything is good at amaya's

I love Amaya's. I have been going there since i was 6 and now I'm 14. The salsa has just the right amount of kick, and the queso is smooth and creamy. The tacos are enormous, which means you get your moneys worth. The enchiladas are always good, made fresh to order, not like other tex-mex ripoffs. The rice is always soft and flavorful. The beans are always fresh, hot, ( and are even better mixed with the rice ). For the quality and quantity of food you get, the price is amazing. I usually only get taco's or enchiladas, but i've tried everything on the menu at least once, and everything is good.

If there was a +4 (badass), Amaya's would definately get it from me!!
