Nice place; good food. However, the servers will stand over you and watch as you pay/tip on the POS system, which makes the pay/tip process uncomfortable. That alone makes me NOT want to return here. Also, there are no paper towels in the bathroom; there are only air dryers, which are unhygienic.

They have Amorcito in Long Beach at LBX Hanger on Lakewood BLVD and Carson Street and Amor Y Tacos in Cerritos but have some shared and some unique menu items at each location. Until you have had 20+ ingredient Mole' Tots you have not lived folks. Just flat out amazing.

This place was reservations out that night but they made room for me at the bar. Service was really good and friendly. You must get the tots. I ate it even before taking a pic. ?. The red sauce for enchilada was really excellent. Ohh. And the fluffy Mexican rice is bomb. And they make the tortillas fresh. I have

Most of the dishes look appetizing but shrimp ceviche is a dish that they do not dominate.

We stumbled upon this place last night while looking for a place to eat. The service was great and it was honestly one of the best meals out we've enjoyed here in a long time. We visit the area from Austin several times a year to see our mom and have grown a bit weary of the usual places. Mom enjoyed the fish tacos immensely. I had the short rib birria and the flavors were nothing short of amazing. The fresh made tortillas were the icing on the cake so to speak.

Small and cozy. Delicious, fresh guacamole and shrimp ceviche! Save the airfare and hassle of a trip to Mexico and just visit Playa Amor for a taste of authentic Mexico!

I’ve eaten here 3 times now and every time I do, it’s fantastic. I’ve had the fish tacos (cod was lightly breaded, flaky & cooked to perfection), their short rib birria (absolutely delicious, the rice and beans also great), as well as a bunch of their tacos. My go-to spot.

We always love grabbing dinner here. The hatch chili spaghetti, the mole tots, the street corn, it's all amazing. This has recently become our place to take out of town visitors to share with them one of our favorite spots.

Our food delivery person, Justin Bieber, wasn't rude, but was not professional. Everyone else was attentive and professional.The rice and beans where AMAZING! And the tortillas are made there by a master of the art. The cocktails are delicious, but maybe a touch too sweet (coming from someone who loves dessert.)Dietary restrictions: The waiter/bartender specifically asked about allergies when taking our orders.

I have celiac and the menu is somewhat labeled with gluten free options, however the server was unsure about if their chips were fried in a shared fryer. I asked him to check with the kitchen and he didn’t - kept saying “should be fine to eat”. Regardless the meal I got was delicious.

The food is good and the portions are large!Pretty authentic. The drinks need a little more polish but at least they're strong! Atmosphere is ok, looks and feels more cramped than it actually is. I feel like they were understaffed, somehow they ran out of salsa?
