The spinach and mushroom enchiladas are very good. Tuesday evening is happy hour , 1/2 price for margaritas and all other drinks.

Don't listen to the haters. This is good Mexican food and awesome margaritas ! You want mystery meat covered in chili powder , go to Taco Bell.

Stephen Moraco

Fun to see one of my favorite restaurants show up closer to us on the north side of the springs! Been coming to amanda's for years!

It was very good I had the carne asada very good.

Tom Donahue

I am always disappointed when I go to a restaurant after the lunch hour and service is very very slow. My server was more interested in chatting with the bartender then tending to her tables.

Meredith Masse

Overpriced for barely average food. When sides (rice & tasteless beans) take up more plate than wimpy main...? Mole was BLAND (boo!). Margaritas too sweet. Service inattentive. One plus: great salsa .

Kari Lampman

My favorite Mexican restaurant in the springs!

Jeffery Yoder

House margarita is the only way to go.

Katherine Leyba

Menudo is very salty and no chili flavor and not enough green sauce on the enchiladas . Nice staff but our waitress didn't know what chili piquin is.

I had combo meal. Tamales and chili r. Horrible food. No taste no flavor..chimi that husband had had beans in it hardly any meat....ugh rice beans cold slaw horrible. Waste of $$$$

Brandon Hanchett

Finally! Molé done right!

Ellen Fenter

Not so good. Feels like fast food . Definitely prefer the manitou location .

Shay Russe

The food was ok, but not as good as the Manitou location . Beans were dry and soup was over cooked.

Jason Golem

Bland Mexican food !!! Bloody Mary was the most tasteful thing I had.

Andrew Nielson

Steak is delicious and a slight edge of spice. Do a bowl with chips for a change up to the norm. - Alex Klaus
