It’s now 10pm and I am still full from eating their Dine LA deal at 2 (and subsequently the leftovers at 6:30). The deal is a LOT of food at a pretty good bang for your buck of $35, excluding tax and tip. Service was extremely efficient and attentive; our waitress got us started immediately with the courses where we don’t need to make decisions, then came back to us for our later courses while we enjoyed the starters.
The chip texture is phenomenal, with a perfect crunch while still having a little give to it. The guac is a little more jalapeño forward, so people who are sensitive to spice should be a little more careful.
Street corn was a little saucy but perfectly balanced between sour and sweet.
I have no idea what I expected out of the clam chowder but I honestly shouldn’t have been surprised. This was a good palate cleanser after the street corn but honestly probably the least memorable dish out of all of them.
The burrito is absolutely humongous and it’s not my favorite burrito, but it was well-balanced among all of the ingredients without feeling too strongly of any particular one. The best part was that the ingredients were well-distributed throughout so I never felt like I had a bite of pure beans. The birria was a little more dry than my preference, though.
The churros could’ve done with less sugar on the outside but the crunch contrasted well to the horchata ice cream, which was truly the drink in ice cream form.

I started my visit by ordering the calamari and it was great. Everything on that dish was well balanced and the calamari was perfectly cooked.
I’m glad that the server screwed up my order of tortilla soup and gave me the entree sized bowl. It was, hands down, the best I ever had. The broth is incredibly thick and savory, the meat, tender, and it’s not stupid spicy or bland – just perfect. I’m sorry abuela, but señor Thomas takes this soup to a whole other level. I can already feel the chancla beating me but that’ll be a survival story for another time.
Finally, the chipotle agave pork belly. Lots of flavor to sort out here. The sweet and savory of the sauce and pork balances out well. Personally, I think the dish had too many potatoes and could have used less, but that’s my opinion.
I highly recommend getting reservations because this place can get busy- fast. Do I recommend visiting? Absolutely! Will I go here again? Yes – till the day I die.

I’ve dined here many times for lunch and happy hour. The food and atmosphere have always been great, and you cannot go wrong with any menu item. This place is known for its freshly made tortillas, refreshing cocktails, delicious tacos, hearty burritos, and enchiladas.
On a recent lunch visit, we were celebrating a family birthday, and our large party was accommodated without a problem. We made reservations the day of, and they had our tables prepared promptly when we checked in. Our primary server, Stefani T., was excellent, patiently taking everyone’s order and providing attentive service throughout our meal. The rest of the staff was great at helping out as well.
My go-to menu items are the tacos and enchiladas. On my recent visit, we shared some starters like Mole Tots and Papas Brava, both of which were very good. The quacamole and salsa with chips are always tasty too. The Agua Frescas of the day were sandia (watermelon) and horchata. I ordered the sandia, and it was refreshing.
For my entrée, I went with the Taco de mi Abuela, and it was the perfect amount for me. The beef and chorizo mix was flavorful, the light, crispy shell was easy to bite into, and the rest of the ingredients kept the dish fresh and light. I would order this again. It was a little messy to eat, though. The rice and beans are ok, I prefer refried bean style, and the beans here are whole.
Overall, it was another pleasant and satisfying visit to Amor y Tacos. Can’t wait to return. Also, there’s plenty of parking, reservations, and a waitlist system are available.

It was hard to swallow $89. For 4 burritos. They told us how great they were. Well, they were not that tasty and they really were not that big. So the atmosphere inside looked ok and the people were friendly. I just can not say we got a good value and taste. Can’t really say a return trip for one more try is ok.

First off – the food was delicious and came out pretty quickly – I had three tacos a la carte (carnitas, short rib, and al pastor) all of them were yummy but the carnitas was AMAZING. I especially liked the pickled onion/radish that came on two of my tacos.
I’ll also say that they had of unique menu items that I would be interesting in trying if I come back.
As far as service goes we had to wait for a while for a server and eventually a different waitress came to take our order – I’m hoping this was just a one off weird incident and hopefully not how things normally go (but hard to say since this my first time coming) – after that mishap we got our order and the first waitress we were supposed to have came – the rest of the service was fine after that.
The rest of the atmosphere is fine, nothing super impressive but not dingy and gross either – all in all would come back for the food not the aesthetic

I feel like the food was very good and creative. I always judge a Mexican restaurant first by its tacos. This place had a taco tasting course, so I tried all the standards and it was very good. I think the value was a little less than I had hoped for the tacos specifically. Will have to try again, but definitely a good sit down Mexican spot (which in my opinion are very hard to find)

i tried this spot for the first time today. I ordered the potato taquitos, which weren’t my favorite, but my boyfriend got the chicken nachos and those were delicious—I definitely wished I had ordered them instead! He usually prefers diced chicken while I like shredded, so I really enjoyed the way they prepared it. They also surprised us with complimentary chilaquiles for our first visit, which was such a nice touch. Service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I’d come back to try more items off the menu.

The food was great, service friendly and attentive and an easy going, family friendly atmosphere… we where there for happy hour so don’t know what it’s like for the dinner crowd. The happy hour menu was very good and inexpensive although the margaritas were a little too sweet for my taste. We took back an order of nachos and a burrito for my kids… it was delicious and huge.

We’ve been coming to this joint for years. The food is consistently good, great service and Lucha Libre decor inside the restaurant. We always enjoyed the freshly made tortilla chips with salsa and guac, but this time the chips were a bit stale. We ordered the taco trio, salad and birria. The portion of the salad is quite generous, it’s tasty so we cleaned it up anyways. The 3 of us totally enjoyed our food. I had the birria for the first time and it definitely hit the spot. To top it off we had the pan dulce bread pudding and it’s amazing!
