Super Nacho Hour happy hour is outstanding. Vegan nachos kickass even for omnivores. Off menu puffy tacos are also awesome. Check their site for daily happy hour times.

The best Tex-mex in Los Angeles. The puffy tacos are the best tacos I’ve had in California and the guacamole is the best I’ve ever had. The spicy margaritas are bomb (though a bit pricy ).

Guacamole , chicken & shrimp puffy tacos with braised Brussels sprouts in chipotle sauce is a perfect meal for sitting at the bar . Recommend enjoying a mezcal (or tequila ) margarita or two.

Chef Jose Centeno's Bar Ama is two restaurants in one: one serving decadent Mexican-American food and one striving that serves next-generation riffs on Mexican ingredients and California produce Read more

Great Tex-Mex small plates by the chef behind Baco Mercat. We loved the Brussels, cauliflower , pig ears , enchiladas , and fried chicken . The real gem are the off-menu puffy tacos .

The green enchiladas and the puffy tacos are the standouts here...literally the best I’ve ever had. Don’t skip the dessert cocktail , it will pleasantly surprise you.

Everything looks amazing. My first time - I tried the pesto cauliflower , sweet potato with sea salt and butter, and the puffy taco . Make a reservation though because it was packed

Do not miss the perfectly caramelized sweet potatoes , the fried brussels sprouts , and the guacomole , which just might be the best in the city . Read more

Best food in LA other than his other restaurants ! LOVED the potato puffy taco , cauliflower , and mole enchiladas . Ceviche was to die for. El bramble and the margaritas were great drinks!

Order the off menu shrimp and cheesy potato puffy tacos . Pig ears are amazing. Also, never thought these words would come from my mouth, but the cauliflower is INSANE.

Quite possibly the best Mexican food with a modern twist we have ever tasted. If you love traditional Mexican food then the puffy tacos and the rice are a good place to start. Read more

Good God...dinner was fantastic! We shared and chowed on the Tex-Mex queso with chorizo (served w/ homemade chips , ask for flour tortillas too). I had Mom's Green Enchilada 's - super yum!

Holy SHIT! #1 -we're originally from TX and miss Tex-Mex! #2 -some of the best headcheese (aka 'jamon de cabeza ') we've had in a while.. #3 -fucking Leche Quesada/Burnt Milk Pudding FTMFW!!

Definitely will be in my top List in LA. These guys have the ambition, seems like they aim to be the best Mexican around. Slow roasted Cabrito! A must.

Bar Ama's Super Nacho Hour , Saturdays from 3 pm to 5:30 pm, is cheap and delish, offering chorizo nachos , guacamole , and fish tacos , along with the restaurant 's full cocktail menu .

(2/16/2018) FYI, the Broccolini has walnuts . I’m allergic so I wish I would have known in advance before eating it ????. Manager was very apologetic and took it off our bill.

The bartender , Brian is amazing. So friendly and talented. Made me an off the menu Bourbon drink that is absolutely perfect.

The drinks were great, and so was the seared lengua , but everything else I tried was okay. I'm afraid Tex-Mex just can't be dressed up, no matter how good a chef you are.

Late Night Happy Hour : $8 margaritas and nachos , $5 tacos and queso , and more. Monday-Thursday 10-11pm, Friday 11pm-midnight, Saturday-Sunday 9-10pm.

If you are like the many ppl I overheard asking the bartender what a michelada is, then order one here. Kielbasa taco was more delicious than I anticipated.

Puffy tacos , frito pie , queso , and other evolved Tex-Mex dishes are mainstays at chef Josef Centeno's latest operation. Read more

The daily ceviche appetizer is a must. Perfect for sharing but could be a light meal all by itself. A great alternative if you're bored with sushi . Read more

Puffy Tacos are a must. Chile Shrimp Ceviche , Nana's Fritos Pie , Guacamole , Pineapple Shortcake

The Atlantico rum is great in a daiquiri ! The tequila Ocho here is divine. Try the Ancho Reyes for spicy goodness.

Shrimp and ground beef puffy tacos were delicious. Special sauce is top notch.

Everything was quite delicious. The ceviche and octopus were highlights. Tomatillo enchiladas were also top notch.

Fried pork belly fajitas , Tex Mex queso , cauliflower cilantro pesto

Snake Blood is a sweet cocktail made of rye , St. Germain, hibiscus and lemon .

The food is a pure pleasure! The guacamole is perfect! Great service.

Tex-Mex cuisine with fluffy tacos that mimic a roti-like flare. Go for the grilled shrimp with smoked jalapeño crema .

Great guacamole - including generous portion . Good tortilla soup . Good cocktail selection .

Spectacular plates. Order several and share! Drinks come out garnished fancier than you'd think.

Food was delicious (green enchiladas ), portions perfect, and great margaritas !

La lengua and Chicken Molè FTW. Great tapas .

I could seriously eat their cauliflower with the pesto sauce and cashew nut cheese all day, errrrrdayyy. #sofuckinggood

The beef chalupa was awesome. Like tender stew on a crispy platter.

Good is great but often I'm satisfied with just their amazing salsa and chips and craft cocktail .

Albondigas. Best I've ever had.

The Cashew Queso is unbelievably creamy. As in my family literally didn't believe it was vegan ...

Amazing queso , giant tacos , great drinks, always lovely service.

Perfect guacamole , defiantly worth coming back for...also the Zapatista (spicy ) has it going on!!!

Their Bus Driver sauce is sooo delish! I want to pour it on everything! :)

Agave spirit based cocktail list and super tasty food. Go here. Be happy.

It's good for guacamole , tacos and enchiladas . Service is nice too!

Great for brunch ! Order some migas and breakfast tacos (which come 2 to an order), and share!

The Mole Eggplant is not to be missed!

I have finally found it! The BEST Mexican food I have had in LA to date. Literally everything we ordered (and we ordered a lot) was so fire. Ask for their suggestions and ask for their spicy margarita

Mushroom and leek enchilada rock! Carnitas fajita were excellent too

Good small plates Mexican food . We ordered 4 for 2 of us and there was way too much. Good happy hour too

The puffy tacos are not on the menu , but if you ask your server you can get them.
