The service was excellent. Kudos to Maddie, she took care of our table, best service in town. Thank you Maddie! Now for the food, it was the best I've had in a while. Mexican street corn, Berria tacos and fajitas. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.
Wow! We had such a great experience at Mas Amor. Came in on a Friday night (it was busy so make a reservation) and took a seat at the bar. Our bartender, Jackie, was so accommodating and friendly! The food was delicious. They bring out chips and salsa to start. The chips are thin and fresh. We also ordered some guacamole to try with the chips. I ordered the chicken fajitas. Definitely a big portion and shareable. I also got a strawberry margarita that was amazing. Overall 10/10 experience and worth the money!
Absolutely incredible and fresh. Decor is inviting and stylish. The dill pickle margarita was really good. Chips and salsa perfect. Dishes have fresh ingredients. Highly recommend!
This Tex-Mex restaurant is full of bright colors and brings a fun vibe to the Hickory Metro. We highly recommend making a reservation if you want to get a seat. They tend to stay busy. The food is incredible, but the margaritas are what keep us coming back!
I loved it. My wife loved it. Mas Amor is fun, lively and new restaurant in Hickory. The ambiance is low key, casual, comfortable and just a little on the hip side. Mas Amor is bringing the outside in with the decor and style. Very well lit with plenty of space between tables; you don't feel crammed or packed in - very comfortably arranged. Staff is incredible, very attentive and aware of their customers. They are buzzing all about the place moving and grooving, taking care of customers. Even staff that are customer forward facing are kind, saying hello and asking how service is going. I appreciate the coordinating uniforms for staff - this is nice because it makes the whole presence look professional and put together. It lays out leaderships expectations. (Even if it's black jeans and black Mas Amor shirts...it's still very professional). We knew exactly who was staff and who wasn't. Chefs were talking to cooks, talking to wait staff, talking to servers...uniquely in sync. Food was a grand slam. Really damn good. Uniquely flavored, with non-traditional dishes and/or toppings. Crispy, juicy, bright and flavorful vegetables. The Diablo shrimp tacos were incredible. Loved the bacon chunks...this was a new thing for me. Pinto beans with onion - fantastic. Lovely. The chips and salsa are very good too. I love the different choices from a green verde, medium red and a habenaro. I enjoyed the habenaro the most. But the others were just as flavorful. The cantina chips...I could have just had this for my meal. So good. The horchata alcohol drink...perfectly made. Amd we topped it off with tres leche. Get outta here. Soft, yet dense cake doused in tres leche....but not very sweet. It was balanced.
Mas Amor is one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in a long time and probably the best Mexican food ever. I got the veg fajita and what an amazing taste it had. The chips and dips where very fresh and having three options of sauces were great. The staff were all very friendly and our waitress Mia did an outstanding job of making sure we didn't run out of anything. The cocktails were spot on and tasted wonderful. If you are in Hickory NC this is a must place to visit.
The food and margaritas were just delicious and hit the spot. The service was absolutely top notch. We just found a lovely spot to dine in.
One of the best places in Hickory NC!! The food is amazing!! And the prices are very reasonable. Great Atmosphere and the Bartender Amy Tesh is so friendly and makes the best Margaritas in town!! Seriously Mas Amor definitely gives all their customers much love!! Just like the restaurants name says!!
