Amor y Tacos (Cerritos, CA)

I met with my friend after my night class and even though it was late at night, we grabbed a little to eat at a nearby restaurant I had heard of called Amor Y Tacos!  Coincidentally, she was there last week for a friend’s birthday, but I was dying to try it out.  Normally, we order as many dishes as we can, so we can try a bit of everything…but it was almost 10pm so we just had a late night snack!  Yum!

It is situated in basically a mini mall.  No frills on the outside, but pretty nice inside!

The menu is pretty awesome!  Next time, I can’t wait to try the Amor Chile Relleno Burger, so I’ll make sure to be hungry when I come back.  🙂  Also, I will definitely have to bring my man along.  It sounds like everything is right up his alley.

Check out some of the fun bar area, plus some nifty art pieces.  I just love the ceiling and the light fixtures.  Definitely a mix of modern and traditional Mexican!

I love that in the description of the dish it says “yes, Doritos.”  How funny is that, because I was thinking the same thing!  It was insanely addicting and even though I thought I just needed a snack, I finished nearly the whole thing!

Elote Man Corn

roasted corn, mayo, cotija, chile powder, cilantro

Just like the traditional flavoring, but the corn is such good quality and much sweeter than what you find on the street.

And one last shot of the restaurant before we left.  Pretty ladies!

Overall, I can’t wait to come back.  It was like a tasty little appetizer for a nice big meal that I hope we can have soon.

Delicioso!
