Amelia's Rustic Mexican - Hillsboro

The food is top notch. The service is ideal. I highly recommend.

Great food and generous portions served by a friendly staff are the main qualities that define Amelia's to me. I work on the East side of Hillsboro and when I am craving Mexican food at lunch, this is always where I go. (Pro-tip: don't order the Burrito Loco (attached photo shows the part I couldn't finish unless you're REALLY hungry or you like leftovers!

My only real complaint is their chile rellanos seem to be pre-made then warmed up when someone orders. The result is a soggy greasy mess with almost no flavor and a brick of unmelted cheese in the middle. Many Mexican restaurants are doing this nowadays and it’s disappointing to me because a freshly made chile rellano is about as good as it gets! The service here is stellar and very friendly. The staff are so nice and attentive. Their beer selection is also very good. The pictured Dos Equis amber especiale was a fantastic malty Mexican beer! Ask for it specifically in the white label. Really there’s nothing else to complain about, but if a restaurant doesn’t get the actual food right then everything else is secondary isn’t it?

Amelia's in Hillsboro downtown: Great experience! Consistently excellent, authentic Mexican food.

Wonderful people and awesomely flavorful food. Will definitely seek out Amelia's when near Hillsboro again.
