About This Spot

Stepping into Amor y Tequila on Chicago’s Roscoe Street, you’re welcomed by a warm, inviting space that strikes a balance between lively and laid-back. It’s the kind of neighborhood spot where the buzz of laughter and conversation blends effortlessly with the comforting hum of a well-loved local restaurant. Whether seated on the sun-dappled patio or inside surrounded by rustic touches, the atmosphere encourages unhurried meals and gatherings that feel both familiar and festive.

The kitchen moves with a friendly, assured rhythm, serving up dishes that feel thoughtfully crafted yet true to the heart of Mexican home cooking. The vibrant flavors unfold naturally—whether in a perfectly spiced al pastor taco or the refreshing brightness of ceviche—each bite carries a sense of genuine care. Drinks here don’t just accompany the food; they enhance the moment. From fruit-forward margaritas to clever twists on classics like the Michelada, each sip invites you to linger a little longer and savor the experience.

Amor y Tequila thrives on human connections, where attentive service creates a relaxed space for sharing stories over vibrant plates and colorful cocktails. It’s easy to imagine families settling in for a comfortable lunch, friends bonding over a round of expertly mixed drinks, or couples slowly savoring a weekend evening on the patio. The ease of the place—the way it embraces slow enjoyment without fuss—makes every visit feel like an authentic and personal discovery within the city’s vibrant Mexican dining scene.

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

Rebecca Rice 21 Dec 2025

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.

My first time and every aspect was excellent Sat of the patio on a beautiful evening. Started with their cocktails from the menu - each one full of flavor and masterfully created. Chips were warm and just the right crunch, with the best salsa and guacamole I have had locally. The waitress recommended the Mexican Chop Salad and she was so on point; fresh and delicious. Others in the group really enjoyed their chicken fajitas and enchiladas. We will definitely be back again for the delicious food, refreshing cocktails and very familiar and exceptional service!

Went here last night with a couple of my friends and we were seated right away. James is one of the bartenders/waiters and he took exceptional care of us all night. He recommended the chef's speciality for the 3 of us and it did not disappoint! We will absolutely be returning to this spot very soon and often.
