Amarillo

My friend and I had the crispy chicken burger and it just did not come together. The bun was pretty but totally unfunctional as a bun. I picked it up and to paraphrase Patsy Cline… It fell to pieces. The description said it had marinated avocados. Didn’t their Mamma tell them, it’s a sin to marinate an avocado. The chicken had a «nacho» breading. More like tevlar. I could not bite through it without having it in a vicelike grip. That did not stop all of the contents to unceremoniously spill out onto my plate. The inclusion of mango was also quite a bad choice. The best thing about was that it featured Hellman’s mayonnaise. Also, the fries were not cooked right. Removal of mango and adding a fair amount of salt made it possible for me to finish the chicken, at least.

Very tasty burgers, but prices are ridiculous. For the money I paid for my burger I should have gotten a little more food. But if money is not a factor in your choice and you do not have a big appetite Amarillo is a great place for you.

My friend and I were in Helsinki on business. This was one of only a few places open when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon. The prices were quite high for burgers and burritos. We both chose the «premium» burger. It was around 20 Euros.
We both got terribly sick! Food poisoning.
That’s beside the fact that it was just an awful hamburger, dry with way too much mayonnaise glopped on it.
I would avoid the place at all costs.

I prefer to go here if I get homesick for American food in Helsinki. this place is as close to places I am used to like chili s, etc. I like the atmosphere and the prices are not too bad.

Amarillo appears to be a chain of restaurants (often located in connection to Sokos hotels –may perhaps be the same owner). They try to have some sort of Tex Mex theme but the food served is in general fairly poor and it is most definitely over-​priced. If they would lower the prices be 25−30% it would acceptable quality but as it is know I cannot recommend it.

Das Amarillo ist ein Mexikanisch-​Texanisches Restaurant in der Innenstadt von Helsinki. Die Location ist äußert geräumig und der Fussballfeld große Raum lädt zum Essen genauso ein wie für kleine Konzerte oder Auftritte von Bands. Entsprechend den Preisen in Helsinki selbst, sind die Gerichte alle im Segment von um die 20 Euro angesiedelt, allerdings bekommt man für sein Geld auch durchaus etwas. Selten haben wir einen besseren Burger gegessen als dort.
Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich, der Service outstanding.
Eine absolute Empfehlung, wenn man in einer Wild-​West Atmosphäre mal einen richtig guten Burger essen möchte, und sich nicht scheut dafür auch etwas tiefer in die Tasche zu greifen.
