Los Amates pride itself on cooking authentic Mexican food using traditional recipes, spices and techniques dating back to the Aztec days. The food is so fresh and tasty equal to eating a meal with a family in Mexico. Philosophy behind the menu: Los Amates restaurant owner and chef ARTURO MORALES aims to stay away from Tex Mex food, what this means for those who are unsure it's staying away from the American fast food fusion with Mexican taste so there are no hard tacos shells here! Ambiance The restaurant lends itself to more of family home than a restaurant, adorned in treasures from Mexico along with skeletal dolls which sounds strange, however in Latin America and foremost amongst Mexicans the people pay close attention to the dead than the living offering pray, food and gifts to keep the spirits healthy and happy waiting to the day the spirit is reborn again. The dining area is cosy and welcoming ideal for catching up with friends and family over dinner, at Los Amates you feel right at home.
