September 2013

Los Amates in Fitzroy is a pretty little Mexican Restaurant on Fitzroy’s busy Johnston St. The restaurant itself is great. It has a real Mexican authenticity and vibrant atmosphere. So if I was to review everything but the Nachos, then this review would be just dandy, but we’re in the Nacho game, and this ain’t gonna be pretty.

It is actually really difficult to write this review. Usually I would start by listing the best aspects of the dish, but my page remains blank. New approach. Let’s just use onomatopoeia to describe this dish, ‘bleh’.

Ok, Ok, let’s try harder now. The first thing I noticed as I crunched down on the chip was how bad a quality it was. They basically tasted like old Doritos. Cheese coverage was poor, and by the end of the meal I was left with a plate full of corn chips as they must have served all the condiments with a tiny little teaspoon. The beans were so sparse I think I could have counted each bean with my 2 hands.

For the amount I paid and the standard of the restaurant, I expected much much more. Unfortunately this time around, Los Amates only scores 2 corn chips out of 5.


Score: 2 / 5
