Best WLM Reviews
Amorelia is one of Costa Mesa's hidden gems. They've got lovely ambiance, lighting, music & decor. The food is incredible, you can taste the love in every bite.
The one thing that wasn't great last night was when we order guacamole to start, they asked if we wanted to chips too and then charged us $5 for them. The guacamole does come with chips because they brought us two different kinds of chips in different baskets (one with the Guac and one came with a little dish of salsa. This seemed a little shifty on their part & it's worth being aware of.
Otherwise, a beautiful experience here as always.
Service was attentive and lovely, the food was delicious, and the place cozy.
The waitress had great recommendations and everything was spot on from the mango margarita to the churros.
I come here for the chillaquiles verdes with over medium eggs(request) and the steak. So good. Also been here for the dinner and the quality of food is just as good.Nice dinner date spot, highly recommend.
Service was okay. The food had no flavor for being that it is Mexican. The lack of flavor in vegetarian dishes was the downfall for us. We enjoyed one plate of quesadillas and that was basically it. I don’t recommend the chayote dish or the chile relleno. Vegetarian dishes didn’t seem to be fully vegetarian.
Three of us came in on a Tuesday around 5. The restaurant is welcoming semi rustic. There are TVs, so I got to watch the Angels game. There was 1 person at the bar and a couple at another table, Our server was nice and attentive. We each got the happy hour tacos 3 for $10. We also ordered chips and salsa. We each got 2 margaritas. We enjoyed everything. Great deals for Happy Hour. I would recommend.
I love it here!. I have had pretty much everything on the menu and everything is great! They have the best Cafe de Olla. The service is always friendly. The bar has great drinks.
Amorelia Mexican Cafe makes a strong effort at providing a fine dining experience. But when the headlights of cars parking right outside the all glass front wall come glaring in, it leaves something to be desired. I travel a lot for business and am always looking for unique dining experiences. Amorelia was a generally good one.
The host/bartender was a little too eager, calling me "my friend" at least three times in the first few minutes. But I'd much rather have too friendly than brusque or non-existent.
They have a full bar and their drinks looked good. I had a draft beer.
For dinner I opted for the Enchiladas Suizas - shredded chicken enchiladas with a tomatillo sauce. Two hazards here - the chicken can be overcooked and dry and the tomatillo can be too sour. Neither was the case tonight. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the tomatillo was among the best I've had. Really nice. The rice that came with it was much better than average, but the refried beans did their best to counter that. Had they served properly made frijoles de la olla (beans in a pot) they might have earned that fifth star.
There are plenty of taco shops within easy driving range where the same meal could be had for half the price. Let's face it, some dive taco shops (of which there are many in Southern California), are very good. Many entrees at Amorelia run in the mid- to high-$20 range. And it's small, but more cramped than cozy. Put up some screens to make it less strip mall, and up your bean game and I might be back.
Red Chilaquiles delicious with a kick! banana foster French Toast super delicious the flavor is out of here! Cafe de olla is also bomb! Don’t leave without a mimosa! ????
