About Amealco Mexican Kitchen
Amealco Mexican Kitchen sits in the A-105 suite at 7130 Buford Highway, one of the multi-tenant retail strips that defines the Buford Highway international food corridor between Doraville and Chamblee. The name itself is a place reference — Amealco is a small town in the state of Querétaro, in central Mexico — and the menu leans toward the kind of central-Mexican repertoire that feels more home-kitchen than Tex-Mex.
The menu reads beyond the standard taco-and-burrito list: queso fundido, sopa azteca, gorditas, taco gobernador, ensalada mixta, tostada tradicional, and a mole de la casa all appear, alongside a tequila program that the restaurant flags on its own materials. That positioning — traditional dishes plus an extensive top-shelf tequila list — puts Amealco in the slightly more sit-down end of the Buford Highway spectrum, rather than the counter-service taqueria end.
Reviewers describe the dining room as cozy and traditionally decorated, the kind of room you eat dinner in rather than grab and go. The kitchen runs 11 AM to 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and stretches to 10 PM Friday and Saturday. With three Restaurant.com deal tiers stacked from $10 off $20 to $25 off $50, the discount math favors using it on a dinner where tequila or a shared appetizer is going to push the check past $50 anyway.

Consistently indifferent and surly service. Same attitude at the Ponce de Leon location.

Food is awful would rather eat a taco bell. The only thing keeping this place in business is their patio.
