Amorelia Mexican Cafe

In the back corner of the At Home anchored shopping center. Near Planet Fitness. Full service, sitdown restaurant. Mostly indoor seating, but a few outdoor covered tables. They're expanding into the space nextdoor, so there'll soon be even more seating. Fast and friendly service!We came for breakfast on a Sunday. I got the breakfast burrito and their cafe de olla (cinnamon and brown sugar coffee). Both were great, but drink was scalding and portion size of burrito wasn't the most generous. Decently priced given today's standards. Enjoyed overall!

I wish this place was 5 stars but honestly its really an overly hyped cafe. I had high expectations due to the reviews and I left disappointed.I ordered the green pazole and Mexican fluffy pancakes.First red flag- they charge you for chips n salsaThe food is NOT bad, its just not amazing either. Pay $15-$17 for 3 regular pancakes ( nothing fluffy amount them) a sliced half of a strawberry lol cmon guys. Now the pazole verde- I REALLY wanted to love this because I was craving it, but unfortunately super disappointing. Its not terrible but its just blah.For $17-$21 for pazole, I would hope its bomb but it wasnt.$7-$10 drinks ( Arnold Palmer and Horchata) Overall I was disappointed because I couldve made 3 "actually" fluffy pancakes at home , and made my homemade green pasole rather than paying $60 for 2 meals that were just blah.Can I cook myself... yes! But I didnt want to. I wanted to treat myself and my son and instead I left feeling robbed of money for a mediocre placeThis is a 6/10 place

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.

Great customer service. Delicious fresh food. Dark atmosphere. Easy and convenient Really enjoyed it.

I was way too excited to dig into dinner and forgot to snap a pic! Had a craving for mole, so I went down a Yelp rabbit hole and ended up choosing Amorelia. My fellow Yelpers, y'all did not disappoint!! The enchiladas poblanos featured such a rich mole sauce, and the rice really highlighted the dish in an unexpected manner. I went on a Saturday night, and the dining room was about half full. Great, romantic ambiance with lively music, and the servers were nothing less than amazing.

Had some of the best enchiladas ever along with what I believe to be THEE best cafe de olla anyplace has ever offered!! The vibes are great and the service was amazing. Not to mention the ratios from the sides to the entree were so amazing! Cannot wait to be back in Costa Mesa to eat here again!!! This place is a hidden gem!!

Oh, this actually saddens me, but I have to do it. I've been loving this place for so long and haven't been there for at least a couple years. I was craving their green Chilaquiles. I am not sure what happened but the quality of the food and a little bit of service I have to say, but mainly the presentation of the food has declined. I mean before they used to give you there's a lovely plate of green chilaquiles , with either scrambled eggs or sunny side up eggs on the side with beans and they used to put this like jalapeños on the side with carrots and a little bit of greens but oh my gosh, this time they gave me such as small amount of Chilaquiles. They were lacking sauce. I think they maybe did one scrambled egg that was hiding on the bottom of my little pile of Chilaquiles with very little amount of beans no jalapeños whatsoever I mean the plate looked so sad.I'm sorry, but I hope that somebody reads this and pays attention because my craving & love for Amorelia is going down .

I've been coming to Amorelia for several years now . I was so disappointed my rice was hard and under cooked spinach salad was salad looking sad and old my boyfriend carne asada Burned and hard vegs horrible . overall, the quality of the food is going down.

Bueno!I ordered via door dash. Found them on Yelp and was impressed with the reviews. And then talked my boyfriend into ordering from here lol 1x Chips & Salsa 7/10$5.20Chips were fresh! Salsa is not spicy at all. It tastes like water to be honest. 1x Alambres de Ribeye 8/10$24.00Not bad! A decent slab of meat. But could have been better. 1x Queso Fundido 7/10$14.00The cheese was melty. But lacked flavor overall. 1x Mini Sopes 7/10$13.00These were just okay or meh. Not the best sopes, but also not the worst either.1x Taco de Papa 8/10$5.00This was alright. A good amount of potato inside. The taco shell was soggy though. I would have liked it to be crunchy. 1x Enchiladas de Espinacas 8/10$18.00The enchiladas were good. They came with spinach and corn inside, and a side of rice and beans. The rice didn't taste fresh, but I mixed it with the enchilada sauce and it was fine. The black beans were good. 1x Churros con Cajeta 10/10$11.70Soooooooooo good!!!! The churros were fresh and amazing! Moist inside and crunchy on the outside! Super good! Total$104.49

Menu has so many great dishes that it was hard to choose. Fresh, unique and delicious! Comfy atmosphere. Service spot on.
