For more than 29 years, Amado’s Mexican Food has been a Tempe favorite, crafting authentic Sonoran-style Mexican cuisine with heart and consistency. Family-owned and proudly located in the same spot since day one, this beloved restaurant has built its reputation on scratch-made recipes, attentive customer service, and a specialty in expertly grilled carne asada. The restaurant’s Angus beef is carefully selected, cut, seasoned, and cooked to perfection, and is a cornerstone of many of its most popular menu items.
One must-try item is the Mini Tacos, a bite-sized way to enjoy traditional flavors. These little tacos are filled with savory meats and topped with fresh onions and cilantro, offering a delicious starter or snack that showcases the restaurant’s dedication to fresh ingredients and vibrant taste.
For a more indulgent choice, the Carne Asada Fries are legendary among locals. Crisp golden fries are piled high with seasoned carne asada, melted cheese, guacamole, and other toppings for a satisfying fusion of textures and flavors. They’re rich, hearty, and unmistakably Mexican comfort food.
Another crowd-pleaser, the Rolled Tacos Supreme, elevates classic rolled tacos with crema, guacamole, pico de gallo, and perfectly seasoned meat wrapped in crunchy tortillas. It’s a fun and flavorful twist on a beloved favorite.
For those who want a bit of everything, the Amado’s Platter delivers variety with mini chimichangas, rolled tacos, bean burritos, mini quesadillas, and tacos, all served together for sharing or sampling.
Consistently praised for its fresh, scratch-made food and friendly service, Amado’s remains a local gem where tradition meets bold flavor.
