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.

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.
