    The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The meal started with a complementary sample of their tortilla soup, it was amazing. We each got something different for brunch and everyone was happy. We were celebrating a birthday and received complementary churros at the end of our meal. My only negative was that Sunday brunch was very loud, I would not be able to bring my elderly parents here.

    The noise level at lunch time was quite high. I believe that is due to the acoustics, Once the restaurant started to empty the noise level dropped significantly. Plan you visit accordingly.

    It was very busy on a Friday afternoon. Food was good, service wasn’t great. There were only 3 waitresses. The food was out before we got out coffee. I would definitely try it again in hopes that service is better.

    If you're in the mood for a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with delicious food and great service, then Amerikas is the perfect spot. I recently visited this charming restaurant and was immediately struck by the cozy ambiance and friendly staff. From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in for a special dining experience. The waiter was a highlight of my visit, providing attentive and personalized service throughout the meal. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped us select some amazing dishes. The drinks were also a standout - the bar truly knows how to craft the perfect cocktail! But, of course, the real star of the show was the food. From start to finish, each dish was expertly prepared and packed with flavor. I particularly loved the Barbacoa, which was cooked to perfection and had a fantastic seasoning. But every dish that we ordered was top-notch, and I can confidently say that there is something for everyone on the menu. Overall, Amerikas exceeded all of my expectations. If you're looking for a cozy, intimate dining experience with exceptional service and delicious food and drinks, then this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!

    i went with two friends and every single thing we had was delicious. the giant tortilla chips that come with the guacamole were really unusual: very thin and huge. service was lovely: attentive without hovering. i hadn’t been to amerikas in a year or more and was happy to see its still great.

    We had high hopes for this restaurant. We ordered a salad, meat and fish dish. The pecans and Spanish blue cheese were microscopic and there was very little dressing on the salad. the pulpo had very little flavor except for hot spice although the octopus was very tender, We also ordered the pork tenderloin which never came when we asked the server he said I didn’t wanna bring everything at once, but it was a main course so that seemed odd. He said I’ll bring it right out and then it still was 15 minutes or so and it didn’t come out so we told him to cancel it that we were already done eating, he did offer us free desserts, which was nice and they were very good. We ordered coffee as well and one of my pet peeves in a restaurant is when they don’t have real milk for coffee. They had coffee creamers overall, I don’t think I’ll go back.
