“We sat at the bar and had an amazing night. The food was incredible!!”
“My favorite Mexican restaurant was there last night with my friends we ordered the molcajete and the grilled chicken and my favorite the flan I get that ones a week. Friendly staff Alex the waiter and James the bartender keeping us entertained”
“We really like Amor y Tequila for a weekday date night. It's usually a chill vibe, sometimes busy with neighborhood families. Monday night was quiet, which wasn't a bad thing in our opinion. The food was tasty. I really enjoyed the steak tacos dinner. (Although I wish there was a little salsa offered on the side) My husband wasn't terribly fond of the suiza burrito. It was ok, but a little cold due to the cold ingredients inside, but they warmed it up for him. He just wasn't happy with too much sauce on the burrito. But, the flavors were delicious. We'll definitely be back.”
“Awesome ambiance with fresh tasty mexican food. Kitchen works fast. The highlight were probably the shrimp tacos and my brother loved the strechy tortilla they used to wrap the burrito”
“We had a leisurely 2 hour apps-only dinner and everything from the ambiance on the patio, to the service, to the food and wine was so perfect. Highlights were the ultra-fresh ceviche (I'm not a big seafood person) and the chicken tortilla soup with all the right spices and massive chunks of chicken. We also enjoyed the guacamole, elote, and flautas with a bottle of wine. Great experience and I highly recommend.”
“Delicious cocktails and a great variety of tacos (2 for $11). They have a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. Several families were dining for lunch.”
“We stopped in on a Friday for dinner and drinks with our dog. Luckily we came early because the patio filled up fast! The drinks were great, service was friendly. Food was good (nothing spectacular), but overall we loved the atmosphere and that they're dog friendly!”
“I’ve been here twice and the service was painfully slow both times. But the real crime was the unseasoned, uncharred “fajitas” I was so disappointed to have spent money on this bland dish that I waited 45 minutes for”
“We went on a Saturday night. We all had tacos. It was unbelievably loud. We used a decibel app, and it was close to 90 - outdoors! The live music was good but cranked up to the max. The taco meat was dry and overcooked. The salsa we got was half decent. The spicy green salsa was really hot, but good. The red salsa was watery and didn't have much flavor. We will go check out other places when we are in Chicago next.”
“Here I am sitting at a table, trying to flag down the waiter but nothing. The place is empty. Besides me there are only two other tables. The staff ignored. Manager showed up, shrugged his shoulders and that was it. I was the only white person here, perhaps thats the reason?”
