This is such a cute little spot in Roscoe. They’ve cleverly named their drinks after the streets in the neighborhood. The inside is colorful and vibrant. The salsa is actually spicy. The skirt steak here is incredible. It’s a generous serving and has so much flavor. Everything we ate was 10/10. I’m excited to share this place with more friends and family

I was visiting Chicago for a weekend, and if you're doing the same, I'd definitely recommend Amor y Tequila. The food was exquisite, just like the atmosphere dining on the outdoor patio. Drinks, apps, entrees and dessert were all excellent. Especially dessert. They have perfect flan and churros. I know because I ordered both to confirm, who knows when I'll be back!

Baby Maui was a bit rough (the manager). Our waitress was sweet. Food was great....but sadly I won't come back due to the initial treatment. Wishing this service the best!

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!

Amor Y Tequila was on my bucket list of restaurants for a long time. The ambiance was great on the patio and dog-friendly which is a plus!
The food and drinks were fresh, delicious, and flavorful. I have a suggestion though-can you provide a mild salsa option for patrons please? The mild salsa is crazy spicy and green, which is usually the strongest on the menu!
We had a 7:30 pm reservation on Friday, August 23rd. When we arrived until 7:50 pm, there was no staff available to check us in. I asked the bartender at 7:30 and 7:45 and it was way too loud inside to hear him. We got seated on the patio once we finally got seated. Why is there not a check in process here?
I love that they are using commercial sanitizer chemicals to clean tables, but throughout our dinner while we actively ate, cleaner was being sprayed as wind blew on the patio slightly. The chemical spray while people are eating is very heavy, especially with commercial grade chemicals. I recommend washcloths from a sanitizer bucket for used and not spray chemicals, which happened throughout our dinner for 1.5 hours!

Editing my review as they finally refunded us after I went back to the restaurant, spoke to the manager, sent an email, and left this review. Their food is great and I still recommend this place even if I won't be back because of the frustrating experience. A refund for a restaurant's mistaken charge should not take over a week to process.
Original Review: Extremely disappointed in our experience here. We have been here before and it was great but the last time we went we were soured. They got our order wrong, and when I went to ask for them to bring us the correct item (we understand it happens) they proceeded to charge us for the corrected item. We didn't notice until we had left and when we went to call they claimed they would have to check on it (although they didn't seem super convinced about this), never following back up, never returning our voicemails, and never refunding us the cost of the item. We have tried to call multiple times.

The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in the city, this place is a must-visit!"

I’ve been coming to Amor y Tequila for over a year now and am never disappointed. Amazing food and drinks- shoutout to Pablo for being a great bartender!
My bf and I have been wanting to check this place out for a year and finally went there last Friday night. I was excited and happy to be out and was looking forward to the treat of being waited on. It was busy, that's okay, we expected as much. It was a little chaotic to get our name in for a table on the patio, but we did, and we sat at the bar and ordered drinks while we waited. The host sat us within about 20 mins and we were sat on the patio. Another 20 mins goes by, no one has said anything to us. We had drinks from the bar in front of us, so I flagged someone down, and let them know that while we have drinks, they were from the bar, but we do not have a server and would very much like one so we can order more drinks and food. The gentleman that "helped" us was snotty with us, and I was just trying to assert our needs in the friendliest way possible. I see that it's busy, but I do not want to get lost in the chaos. While he was snotty, he did bring us some chips and salsa, and we sat for another 20 mins, no one ever came back. By the way- the salsa was terrible. But considering that was all I had, I can't rate the food otherwise. I flagged him down again and he was even more rude and condescending to me while I was just asking to please let a server know we're here. I was exasperated at that point and said we wanted to leave, and we did. I have no idea how so many people have enjoyed this place, maybe they went on a slow night. I will NEVER go back. They don't seem to care about their patrons as long as they look all instagram worthy with their lights and decor. I came here wanting to relax, eat, enjoy, and spend my money - and I left wildly disappointed.

Love this authentic Mexican spot with an awesome patio option.
Service is always great- quick and friendly! Their margs are SO good and they always have a seasonal special (peek watermelon marg pictured). We also got the queso with chorizo which was so tasty and a massive portion severed with flour tortillas and some very fresh chips and salsa. Then for mains we split the asada tacos and rice and beans which were delicious!

The outdoor space is very nice and the cocktails were excellent and reasonably priced.
Whilst it was well cooked we found the food to be quite bland and didn't order mains after having appetizers. The service was friendly but a little slow.
Would definitely comeback, but just for drinks.

The restaurant has a charming outdoor patio, but the food was disappointing. The guacamole lacked flavor and was missing lime and salt. The ceviche also seemed under-marinated. The waiter was rude when I raised concerns about a drink that tasted like soap. I have no intention of returning. I ended up paying for the soapy drink and blend appetizers, and chose not to stay for the main dishes.
