Amá
★ 4.5 · 285 reviews Philadelphia Opened May 2025
Modern Mexican from LMNO's former chef, wood fire and all.
Amá opened in Fishtown in May 2025 in a room with space to spare, run by the chef who used to cook at LMNO. Wood-fired octopus with salsa matcha verde, lamb neck birria, a shrimp ceviche tostada.
The cocktail list is taken as seriously as the food, which is not always true of Mexican openings at this price. The Infatuation visited and added it to the Hit List.

We had an amazing experience at Amá. As a Mexican family, we truly loved everything! from the food to the overall atmosphere. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, with ingredients that felt authentic and true to Mexican culture, while still being elevated in a way that made the experience feel luxurious.Every bite transported us back to our beloved country. It genuinely felt like a home away from home. The attention to detail in flavor and presentation made the entire experience unforgettable. We will definitely be coming back.

I had an amazing experience at Ama. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere, attention to detail, and quality of the food made it a truly memorable evening. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of incredible flavors. A special thank you to our server, Irving, who made the experience even better. He was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. His recommendations and service were exceptional and made us feel well taken care of throughout the night. I highly recommend Ama to anyone looking for a high-end Mexican dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I don’t have enough words for how incredible this place is. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with kindness from the hosts. The ambiance is perfectly calming, a great spot for date night, or a gathering, or really any occasion. Our server Evan, was incredibly kind, helpful, and made us feel so special for our wedding anniversary. All of this aside, the food was some of the best food we have had in our lives. No exaggeration, everything we got was crafted so perfectly, with beautifully balancing flavors, and tasted incredibly fresh. I honestly don’t have the words for how amazing this meal was. We were happy to meet the manager Steve (I think his name was) to let him know how special this meal was to us, and he couldn’t have been more polite and appreciative. Anyways, all of this to say- this place is a MUST try!!!!! Seriously can’t recommend enough! Thank you for everything 🙏🏼

Very high end Mexican cuisine, not your average combo platter menu. Great selection of tequilas and mescals that are used for delicious cocktails. The menu lists items that are starters, greens and mains. Wait staff was very helpful in guiding us. Four of us ordered two seafood ceviches, a seasonal veg on flatbread (like a pizza), and braised lamb neck, and whole striped sea bass. Plenty to share and take home.

I don’t understand how someone could leave anything other than an amazing review for this place. As it may be pricey, their attention to detail and passion that is put in the food and drinks is unbelievable. Our server Ben was so educated about all the food and made us feel so special. Not only will I be coming back for the food, I’ll be coming back for him. Thank you to all the staff and of course the chefs. 10/10 dinner experience.
