Yellow City Street Food - YCSF

"Food: their famous fish taco was evenly battered, crispy, yet still so tender in the inside. We thought the fish to tortilla ratio would be off, but it was actually just right, and we felt like it was well worth the price - very filling. The potato hashes were a really nice touch. IMO the best bite here. The wake and bake smash burger was my fiance's favorite here. It had a coffee mayo and blueberry jam to really make the flavors stand out from other smash burgers. Highly recommend to get their comho for this one because the fries were crispy (it seemed like they were double fried). And their gochujang aoli 👍 The Santa Muerte smash burger had a similar base as the wake and bake but more saucy and spicier (jalapeños). It was good but we liked the wake and bake better. Service: Great. Everyone was friendly and the food came out in 10minutes. One of the few gems in Amarillo we'd 100% go back for. Good not even just for Amarillo."

"As perfect as place you can get in Amarillo! Amazing food, quality and friendly service, welcoming and accepting atmosphere! The selection of vegetarian and vegan options is huge. The muerte burger was probably in the top 3 best burgers I've had in my life! This place does it all!"

"“Most intentional Smashburger I’ve ever had!” 🫶🏾 I love when a good Google search leads me to a hidden gem, and that’s exactly what Yellow City in Amarillo, TX is. Small town, BIG chef flavors! Every bite felt intentional, from the balance of flavors to the care in presentation. Even the house salad and homemade peach preserves were fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully crafted. You can tell the chef pours heart and creativity into each dish, making this place stand out in a way that’s rare for small-town dining. The selection of local beers on tap was also a fantastic touch, really adding to the experience and giving me a taste of Amarillo’s craft scene. It’s clear that Yellow City focuses on celebrating the local community, which adds another layer to the dining experience. Now, about the famous fish taco – while it didn’t fully meet my expectations (I was hoping for a super crispy batter), the fish itself was flaky and cooked to perfection, which showed the chef’s technique. I would have preferred a thinner tortilla to let the fish and the fantastic sauces take center stage. The sauce, by the way, was abundant – as a sauce lover, I enjoyed every bit of it, but I can see how someone less into sauces might find it a bit much. It’s a small adjustment in an otherwise excellent dish. Would I come back? ABSOLUTELY! Yellow City offers more than just great food – it’s an intentional dining experience that shows respect for local ingredients and culinary creativity. Can’t wait to try more from the menu next time!"

"Amazing vegan options! The vegan garlic Parmesan fries were such an amazing addition to the vegan muerte burger!"

"You walk in. Dragon Ball Z is on the TV. The stickers on the counter let you know the staff is based. A gorgeous person sells you a cool beer that you’ve never heard of, but tastes incredible. The burger you ordered comes out hot and smells like magic. There is a candle with Anthony Bourdain on it, and you think you see him smile at you as you take your first bite of heaven. Amarillos pretty damn lucky to have this place. (Also great vegetarian options!)"
