Visit：08/30/23。 Review 9/14/23 Came with a friend with her recommendation. This is more like the New Mexican style. Love the decor. The interior was much bigger than it looked from the outside. Staffs were nice and attentive. I tried the pork belly taco and loved it. The glazed fried pork belly had its boldness with texture and was not greasy at all. It was very interesting that they were matched with watermelon cubes! The natural sweetness and the juice of the watermelon neutralized the dryness of fried meat. We had poke tostadas as the appetizer which was nice, as well. The tuna were fresh and prepared with balanced seasoning. Friend had carne asada tacos and liked them, too. Would try to come back and try some other stuff from the menu!
Loud and pricey My sister and I came today for lunch with our 3 kids (11 to 14), and while I do understand the prices of everything are on the rise, I think this place was too much. As a Mexican, I can difference between gourmet food and regular food. The place is too dark, the music is too loud and the service was lousy. We were sit right away but to the far end of the restaurant, the server wasn't friendly, he didn't do anything remarkable, the food is a good size but not amazingly good for the price. The alcohol is as well overpriced. I won't come back here.
Food presentation was beautiful. Drinks are great ! Public restrooms horrible. If I would have went to the restroom first, I would have not ate this restaurant. Restrooms need to be checked frequently and cleaned accordingly.
Awesome food! We had the mole tots, queso fundido and poke tostada. So good!! Mole on tater tot’s who’d a thunk it would be so delicious, just gotta try it. The tortilla chips made in house are huge and perfect for dipping.
Great food and portion sizes! Quick service and consistent taste. The tater tots recipe is unique to Amor Y and I would not miss eating it every time I visit. The vegetarian taco selection is decent and flavorful. If you cannot tolerate too much spice, I would inform the waiter beforehand.
Get there early as there can be a waiting and they dont take online waitlist fot weekends. The wait for food was worth it. They don't provide chips and salsa complementary like most standard Mexican restaurants do. However, you can order them for a nominal price. We tried the green burrito and green enchilada both vegetarian along with the kids. Quesadilla and I must say they were all absolutely amazing. The green sauce is to die for and would definitely recommend it. The tater tots on the kids menu was great too. Finally, they have a hot habanero salsa which I must say is really hot but they do charge for it. So just keep that in mind before you order it. The ambiance is very loud but it is pretty nice, but just keep in mind if you're going with kids that the place can be loud at times. The wait for food is not too long, about 20 minutes, but without chips and salsa it feels really long.
It was a fiesta for the taste buds! Our server, Karla T, was an absolute gem - attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. Let me tell you about the mouthwatering dishes we had: First up, MOLE TOTS. Imagine crispy potato tots smothered in their 21-ingredient house-made Amor mole, topped with queso, cilantro, red onion, radish, and sour cream. To die for! Then we cleansed our pallets on Mango Con Chile cocktails, and snacked on the delicious CHIPS & SALSA and a side of GUACAMOLE Next, we dove into CALAMARI FAMOSO - tender flash-fried calamari steak strips served with a zesty lemon caper & chipotle aioli, cilantro, shishito peppers, and cotija. A definite crowd-pleaser! The COCA-COLA GLAZED PORK BELLY melted in the mouth! Slow-roasted pork belly with a sweet Mexican Coke and ancho chile glaze, sweet potato puree, roasted cherry tomatoes, fennel arugula salad, red onion, and sesame seeds. Such a unique and flavorful dish! We couldn't resist the TOUR DE TACO (5 tacos per order, all gluten-free). Served with rice and beans on corn tortillas, it was a taco lover's dream. The ESQUITES were yummy- roasted corn, garlic mayo, cotija, chile powder, and cilantro. A must-try! We ended the feast with CHURROS W/SALTED CARAMEL and HORCHATA ICE CREAM. The churros, coated in sugar and canela, were perfectly crispy.
My friend and I showed up to enjoy brunch at 1130. We were seated fast so get here when they open! Food came fast as well, overall happy experience today. 😁😁
