“ Super food! Huge portions, delicious homemade tortillas, clean environment and salsa bar. Strong fast service. Understandably busy but food comes hot and at decent pace. ”
“ This is the best place for tacos in Morgan Hill. The fresh made tortillas are amazing and you get four with the teacher plate. The pastor ( marinated crispy pork cut from a rotating spit ) is worth a visit by itself. There are 11 meat choices in all. The salsa bar is well stocked. There aren't burritos here but if you need one it those you can walk around the corner to Super Taqueria. ”
“ I recently dined at Tacos Ameca #3 in Morgan Hill, and while the food was a bit on the pricier side, it was still enjoyable. The taste of the dishes was decent, and I found them satisfying overall. I particularly appreciated their salsa bar, which was a highlight of the dining experience. The variety of salsas available was impressive, and each one had its own unique and delicious flavor. The salsa bar definitely added an extra layer of enjoyment to the meal, and I found myself trying different combinations with each bite. I tried the Regular Burrito, which came with rice, beans, salsa, onions, cilantro, and beef. The combination of ingredients worked well together, and the flavors were harmonious. It provided a hearty and filling option for a satisfying meal. I also had the Flour Quesadilla, which consisted of a flour tortilla filled with cheese, onions, cilantro, sauce, and beef. The quesadilla was well-made, with a generous amount of filling. The blend of flavors was tasty, and the cheese added a delightful gooeyness to each bite. While the prices were a bit higher than expected, the quality and taste of the food justified the cost. I would suggest Tacos Ameca #3 as a good option for a flavorful meal, especially if you have a hankering for a variety of delicious salsas. ”
“ My first time at this location! We normally go to the Ameca #1 but since we were in the area why not! I had ordered 1 tripas and 1 buche, when I got my order they gave me 1 of chicharron, I went back to the cashier I told her nicely hey I ordered tripas not chicharron, she says no you said chicharron, I repeated and said no I dont eat tacos de chicharron she literally was trying to argue with me the young tall man behind her seen it was escalating and said in spanish dont worry ma'am ill make it, very nicely and even brought the taco to my table, thank you to that man! Customer service on point! The cashier needs Customer service training she was very standoffish and rude. Anyways.. Tacos are pricy but these are not your typical small tacos lol these are regular size tortilla and double so you can make 2 tacos out of one thats how much meat the add, they are soooo good tripas nice and crunchy just how I love it, buche so soft and flavorful, although the cashier was rude the food and the young man made up for it lol ”
“ Been wanting to try this place for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did. I got the tripas and carne asada tacos. Tortillas handmade, tripas were clean and crispy-how they suppose to be, carne asada was flavorful and tender. I’m bringing my dad here since it’s hard to find a place with good tripas. My husband got the burrito, and he really enjoyed and it was so big he took some home. ”
