Amarillo is one of my favorite restaurants here in Rovaniemi. They provide very good mexican type food, which isn't that expensive. The decorations are quite cheesy, but the staff is nice and you get free starters with any actual dish (nachos and salsa). My favorite dish is black & white chicken with sweet potato chips. Worth trying!

Nice place with a theme. Lovely decorated. The food was ok but in some of the dishes you could taste the side-dish more than the main dish itself

I enjoy mexican flavours and have enjoyed every mexican meal I have had except this one. Mexican like many cuisines that are highly spice, if overdone, the salt overpowers everything to the detriment of flavours like chili, cumin, coriander etc. The fajitas were served rather flamboyantly in a large round cane tray, but if you had more than two eating...

The place was very busy on a Saturday so we had to try it out. We got a table quickly and didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive. We had a great meal, the standards are very good in Rovaniemi and we were not let down. The cocktails (Margaritas!) were excellent, just make sure you pick the... More

Well, we came there with a big group. It took the waitress more than 40 minutes to take our orders. Luckily, i was not hungry, I ordered something very small (onion rings). I got them after another hour (!!). I must say that i heard from other guys in the group that their dishes were good, a thing that i... More

Three times and three times very good choice. Located in the center. Opened whole day (unlike some other restaurants, which start at 17:00). The choice quite big. It is Mexican, so don't expect any specialities from Finland. Well, they have local beer. The prices are maybe not the lowest, but since the meals are very good and the size is... More

We ate here on several occassions as we found it the best place for our family needs and tastes. One evening was very late but nothing was too much trouble for the pleasant and very friendly staff.

Me and my friend wanted a late lunch before a gala dinner we were attending later that evening and were staying at the Sokos Vaakuna Rovaniemi and decided to wander over to here. We were greatly surprised at how friendly the staff were and how well they spoke English compared to some of the other restaurants we had visited. Service... More
