Built From Scratch In Allston
Amir Shiranian started Amelia's in 2014 with grandma's recipes, fresh ingredients, and one simple goal: make great Mexican food your neighborhood could count on.
Amelia's Taqueria | Our Story
A Small Spot on Brighton Ave
Amir opened on Brighton Ave in 2014 with housemade sauces and recipes passed down — not printed out. No hype, just scratch cooking from day one.
The Food Does the Talking
Every burrito, taco, and bowl is built to order with cilantro rice, fresh guac, pico, and proteins like al pastor, carnitas, or spicy tofu. The birria tacos at Assembly Row are a must.
From Allston to the Whole City
Amelia's grew from Allston to Boylston Street and then Assembly Row — plus the launch of Amelia's Cluck & Smash. Eater Boston and Boston Magazine took notice; the regulars never needed convincing.
Your Neighborhood Spot
Some guests come twice a week; others book us for the whole office. Real food, good vibes, and a team that's genuinely happy to see you.
