Service 5 Stars So let me start by applauding the manager for outstanding customer service--1) The willingness to override a hostess who refused a request for three adult couples who in advance requested separate checks (clearly professionals not the types that haggle about tips--smh) , and 2) sending the magician Michael to our table after we ate for a demonstration of his tremendous talents. Kudos Ramon! I also acknowledge the tremendous service from our main waiter Jose. Atmosphere 5 Stars So we sat on the patio which was enclosed and heated with an outdoor propane heat lamp. IT WAS A PERFECT SETTING for our annual couples dinner. The music was not as loud as in the main dining room and it was more illuminated--exactly the atmosphere desired for conversation with friends while breaking bread. Food = PERFECTION! We started with three delicious appetizers - 1) Patatas Bravas: Spicy potato bites with creamy guajillo aioli. The potatoes were a 3 out of 10 on the heat meter, but the aioli had kick! 2) Guacamole: Onion, serrano, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic - Topped with Pico De Gallo - Served with homemade chips. 3) Salsa Trio: Creamy Salsa Verde, Molcajete Salsa Roja, Pico de Gallo served with Homemade chips. One friend ordered the Baja Tacos - Creamy Coleslaw, Beer battered White fish, Chipotle Aioli with a side of Buttered White Rice. His plate was empty in no time and he expressed his pleasure with the dish. Two in our dinner party had the Salmon Al Carbon - 12Hour Marinated spice rub 8oz Salmon fillet al Carbon with a side of Buttered White Rice with the skin removed and crisped on the side. My wife who I expected would only eat a few bites actually consumed almost the entire piece of salmon, and my dear friend ate her entire dish! Another ordered the "Camarones A La Diabla" - 6 Jumbo Shrimp sauteed with minced garlic and Diablo Sauce served with a side of Buttered White Rice. Another empty plate. (There is a theme developing here). Finally, I had the "Chuletas De Cordero" - Lamb Chops Marinated With Herbs & Spices. Served Over Creamy Mashed Potato Puree, Alongside a delicious Chimichurri & Rich savory Gravy. I ate everything on that plate!!!! The chef was accommodating and added spinach to the plate. My friend's wife ordered a "Special" -- A Seafood Medley Pasta in a Marinara Sauce Shrimp, Calamari & Mussels if a rich pasta sauce with toasted baguettes prepared perfectly to order--I'm certain because my friend has a crustacean allergy so she ordered the dish without the shrimp and it was obvious when she didn't have an allergic reaction that the dish was freshly prepared and they didn't simply remove the shrimp. It also must have been delicious because the bowl was empty! She also ordered a side of Mexican Street Corn (Corn, butter, mayo, cotija chees, & chile powder). Yes there was room for desserts, so I ordered the Dessert Sampler for us to share - Tres Leches, a Delicate Layers Of Mexican Coffee Soaked Galletas Marias & Creamy Mascarpone; Tiramisu composed of Delicate Layers Of Mexican Coffee Soaked Galletas Marias & Creamy Mascarpone, and ordinarily a Creme Brûlée but they were out and substituted Churros-Freshly Fried, Rolled In Cinnamon Sugar Served With Dulce De Leche for the unavailable Creme Brûlée which was disappointing). My buddy l's wife had the Dessert Special -- Banana Bread Putting with caramel drizzle and vanilla bean ice cream. I had to taste all four desserts but couldn't pick a favorite because they were all EXCELLENT! 5 STAR EXPERIENCE IN THIS HIDDEN GEM!!!! read more

We actually got a gift card for mi amor courtesy of my mother & father in law who spoke very highly of this restaurant so we decided to have a good date night here. The ambience is great and so is the servers. The presentation was also pretty great. We started off with a nice drink. I got the strawberry kiss which and my husband had the espresso martini (both delicious!). For appetizers, we had calamari and ceviche. They were both good but I especially loved their calamari. For our main dish, I had birria tacos and my husband had the pasta and steak. I personally wasn't a huge fan of either one because I felt like they both lacked flavor. For me, the true star of the show was the desert trio! We had churro, tres leches, and banana pudding. It was amazing!! I feel like I would just go back for the dessert by itself lol. Overall, Mi Amor is worth trying out. The price point is a bit high but my husband and I thought it was a great "date night" restaurant for couples especially. Don't forget to try out dessert! (I can't stress that enough) read more

We just had dinner here! I truly want to love this place. Although, I cannot at this time. The decor is nice! Staff is friendly and attentive. We started out with the trio empanadas. We really enjoyed the birria empanada, pastor was ok and not the biggest fan of the shrimp. Then, out comes our drinks(after the appetizer) which were good. Next, our main dishes come out. The creamy poblano pasta, we added chicken. The chicken just didn't taste right. It seemed like it was just seasoned before cooked, possibly frozen beforehand. Now to abuelitas enchiladas. They were just ok. What really struck me was my rice and beans were served maybe in a 3oz bowl together. The beans were tossed on top of what maybe was a tablespoon of rice. To me that's a big NO. I've never been served rice and beans that way. Therefore, I couldn't taste the rice due to the beans being tossed on top. After all this, we still decided to give the dessert a try. We ordered the trio w/ tiramisu, crème brûlée and tres leches. Nothing much to stand out on these desserts. All served in small 3oz bowls. $9 for chips and salsa is crazy. This place is pricey. Quality is low. Drinks were on point. I'd definitely return to try more items during HAPPY HOUR! read more

It was great, we arrived about 4pm and immediately warmly greeted. We started with drinks I ordered the Strawberry kiss which was perfect because I like a little fizz in my drink. Appetizers we went with the empanada trio(spinach and cheese, al pastor and birria) all 3 empanadas were good but the spinach was the best to me it was simple and delicious. For a entree I went with the 3 ribeye tacos rice and beans, the tacos are small but filling and the meat was very tender, my husband had the big a$$ burger which he enjoyed. The server Ramon was very attentive and answered all of our questions. I'm so happy to have this spot in my neighborhood we will be back. I loved this spot when it was Unidad and I continue to love it as Mi Amor! read more

You remember that scene in Ratatouille where the villainous food critic is magically transported back to his childhood when he tastes the hero's dish? Mi Amor gave me that kind of culinary experience. This place was better than some Michelin star restaurants I've eaten at. We came on the día de los muertos where - unbeknownst to us - they had a special limited four course menu. It was great. My favorite drink is a smoked Old Fashion, and I've only had a really good one downtown at Roanoake, which is pretty far away. I actually enjoyed Mi Amor's version better. I was transported back to my grandpas lakeside bonfire. The rest of the meal was equally good. Churrasco steak and lamb were bursting with authentic flavors. There was just enough fusion elements to make it more interesting than just a high end taco. The cheese spinach empanadas were also great. The dessert I didn't expect to be surprised by; churros , sure why not. Butt the white chocolate studded with pomegranate was mind-blowingly good. I was a big fan of Unidad - so I had high expectations, they didn't let me down. If they go on Door Dash I'll basically pay their rent. read more

I got together with my Diva girlfriend on 10/11/25 and we decided to go here since she likes Mexican food and the fact that she'd been here before for drinks but had never had their food. We walk in and the place is super cute in the setup. We had reservations for when the place opened so staff was setting up, having their staff meeting, etc. All the staff there were kind to us and seemed to be attentive which was great. We ordered our drinks. I had the Besito De Fresa 'strawberry kiss' and my buddy had the The 'BOSS' Margarita. We enjoyed our drinks, mine was so fresh with fresh juices at the bottom so couldn't wait to get to the bottom of the glass to enjoy them. For appetizers, we got the guacamole and the calamari. The guac to me was only okay, nothing earth shattering. The homemade chips to the guac though were delicious. The calamari was good but the rings were so small. I've never seen calamari so tiny. It came with a green sauce that was tasty. For our meals, I got the Camarones A La Diabla which was 6 Jumbo shrimp in a diablo sauce with a bed of buttered rice. The shrimp I really couldn't eat, it was way too hot/spicy. My buddy agreed as she tasted one. She got the EvergreenPark's #1 Quesabirria Tacos which are the beef oxtail tacos. She enjoyed them but I felt they were a bit bland and needed more flavor. Also got the Elotes corn which was only okay to me but most Elotes I don't like so don't take too much emphasis on that opinion. Jose was our server and was nice and attentive. We were there for awhile and nobody bothered us. We were fully prepared to pay the bill after eating our meal while we continued to hang out but he never came to us with the bill until we asked for it. Although his service was good for the most part he did something that is a pet peeve of mine. I had a little of my drink left and was savoring that to taste the last of the fresh juices at the bottom. He came and took my glass to which I told him that I wasn't finished. He proceeded to tell me "Are you sure?" questioning me due to the fact that I guess in his opinion, it wasn't enough to keep. You don't question a customer like that. I told him I was sure so he could give me back my glass. Please ask a customer before removing food/drink off the table. I would definitely come back to get that Besito De Fresa 'strawberry kiss' because it was so good. Not sure if I would come back for the food but keep in mind, they are fairly new so they need time to iron out the kinks still. It's well visited as it got very busy while we were there which is a good thing. read more

We had a Friday at 7pm reservation. Upon arriving, the hostess appeared not to see our reservation and then left us at the hostess station for a few minutes, finally returning to say our table was ready and that she had located our reservation. It was weird, and, at this point, two more parties were standing behind us asking if anyone was there to seat us. I'm sure this wasn't a good first impression for them either. We sat on the patio which was way cute and had nice fall decor. It had nice lighting, too. Then came delays with a server coming to take orders and once one came, two more arrived asking if we had been helped. That became the theme of the night, our server would attend to us and then another one would follow behind asking questions and making suggestions. It seemed well-intentioned, but felt overbearing. Plus, when service actually mattered - getting our orders - we waited forever. We didn't get our dishes until after 8pm and we arrived at 7pm. For the food, the stars were the enchiladas and the Mexican corn. The quesabirria tacos had great flavor but the oxtail meat was chewy and not tender. The consumme was flavorful, though. My friend also enjoyed her salmon. The vegetable skewers were undercooked, had no seasoning and so were very bland and al dente. We didn't enjoy this dish. For drinks, we had non-alcoholic mojitos, and I really enjoyed mine which was strawberry-flavored. At the end of the dinner, even getting the check took awhile. Then, no one came to take the payment for maybe 20 minutes. The wait times need some work here but hopefully they work out the kinks because I'd like to go back and try some other dishes. It's a nice place to have locally. read more

I've been twice in the last few months. Each time, the food and service were amazing. What particularly struck me is how everyone says "thank you for coming". From top down, they appreciate your business. The food is 4 out of 5 stars. The ribeye and birria tacos are amazing. The rice and beans are very flavorful. There are a few items that benefit from a pinch of finishing salt to bring out the flavors, e.g. the guac, the calamari. But they give you a shaker to salt to your preference. I actually appreciate them under-salting food and giving us salt, instead of making everything salty. So ignore any review saying food is bland. People should use the salt that's given to them. My husband had the ribeye and he loved the flavor and really enjoyed it. He did note the texture was somewhat off. It wasn't a preparation issue. It was a meat quality issue, as compared to the steaks we purchase and eat at other restaurants. Perhaps they'll be able to consider other suppliers as they continue to grow. The vegetable skewers are mostly onion and bell pepper. I don't love that. But they are very tasty. They should add more zucchini and squash. The ambiance is good. What's interesting is they have two big TVs behind the bar and they just show winter-themed pictures. Maybe they'll could show photos of Mexico or other visuals that honor the culture. The music is fine and the right volume. It neither contributes nor detracts and you can still enjoy your conversation. I hope they're successful. I will continue to come back regularly. read more

Mi Amor Restaurant - Ribeye tacos - Empanadas Near Me - Evergreen Park, Illinois

I'm a little bit nervous about writing this review. On one hand we loved how intimate this place is, but we want it to succeed.....so here we go! My husband and I were able to sit at the bar (our favorite place to dine when it's just us) on a Thursday afternoon. We loved Unidad and learned about this place opening up from a table next to us at another local favorite hot spot close to our hearts. We arrived during happy hour. I opted for a margarita (Delicious!!!) and my husband opted for a crisp Carte Blanc. For appetizers we had the trio empanadas......I could have had 3 orders of them for a meal alone; they were that good! They were served with a spicy creamy habanero sauce and a creamy green salsa verde sauce. Side note; eat the watermelon radish garnish, they are fantastic!!!!! For our entrees I had the Poblano Pasta with steak; my husband had el pastor tacos. Holy moly!!! Surpassed our expectations. For dessert we had the trio.Tiramisu, crem brûlée, and tres leches . Mouthwatering!!!!! Atmosphere was clean, and a cross between industrial and modern. Service was absolutely amazing!!! Family owned and ran. What dreams are made of. Everything that is right in the world. read more

Mi amor is a revamped Mexican Latino restaurant in the Evergreen Park area. There is parking available on the street. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating and their side patio. It is a quaint restaurant with upscale decor. There is a nice bar for individual and small parties. We were greeted right away upon arrival and the service was great the manager, hostess and waiter constantly checked in on us ( maybe a little too much). They were remarkable with removing plates and used dishes once finished with your meal. We ordered two appetizers, the guacamole and the fried calamari the guacamole was nicely plated and flavor-able however, I thought rather a very small portion for the cost. However. The fried calamari was amazing. It was seasoned just right and had a nice little kick to it. I ordered the oxtail barría tacos that came with a side of rice and beans. The tacos were good, but not great. My friend ordered the shrimp dish and it was plated great and the shrimp were very tasteful with lots of flavor. The drinks we ordered were very refreshing with lots of flavor as well. This place gets rather busy for dinner so you may want to make r reservations. I believe they prefer you to make reservations. They also offer happy hour Monday through Thursday for specials on drinks and appetizers. If you're in the area, I would definitely say try them out. I will definitely be back for the shrimp dish and their calamari. read more

This was our third visit to MiAmour, as always the food was excellent, the service great with a friendly smile. The atmosphere was brimming with celebratory excitement. Hostess ( Vianey) and our server were amazing, they made room for us even though the restaurant was fully booked. That made our time there extra special. Love this place! read more

Food and drinks were delicious and overall service was great. Nice atmosphere, wasn't too lound

I'll give it another go, put tonight was tough. I had high expectations because Mi Amor's predecessor was a favorite. Service was friendly but very, very slow. They told us they were short staffed and it showed. The frequent check ins from our waiter, though well intended, underscored the length of our wait. The setting is great, we sat on the patio and were very comfortable. The space has a buzzy vibe, lots of smiles, laughs, people were having a great time. Our table was wobbly, but the waiter addressed it right away. We started with the Boss Margarita and the Sangria, I'll pass on both next time. For our first round, we had the Paloma and Mi Amor Margarita. The Paloma was great! The margarita was ok. Our dinner included- the salsa trio, Mexican street corn, calamari, enchiladas with skirt steak and Evergreen Park's #1 Quesabirria Taco. The salsa trio, and Mexican street corn were ok. The calamari and skirt steak were overcooked. The enchiladas were enchiladas and the taco...you'll need to try for yourself. read more

Stopped in for dinner Saturday with family. Quickly greeted and sat down in a hurry. Nice and chill vibes inside. Ordered myself a margarita and then queso fundido and guacamole for the table. Both came out super quick. Fundido had that cheesy goodness to pair with the fresh tortillas. Guac was nice and light with a hint of lime not too overpowering. The birria I ordered was . Crispy cheesy tortillas filled with fall apart oxtail. A must have! Consume was a great compliment too. read more

Exceptional food and service. Our server Michael complimented the experience considerably.

I usually don't give five stars but this small owned business deserves it. Not only was the atmosphere and the decor beautiful and nice. The place was also very clean and the bathroom was spectacular. The food is very costly and the portions don't live up to the price, the food still packs spectacular flavor and beautiful presentation on the plate. I had the tacos dorados with a side of chicken. The dish was plated beautifully and seasoned to perfection. I usually don't finish my whole plate at a restaurant but this time I did. We also went there for a birthday celebration and the service was amazing. They were even kind enough to play my family members favorite song and sing her happy birthday. Plus a free dessert on the side. It was a bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and a creme vanilla sauce. The bread pudding was moist and had amazing texture and even though it needed more sugar the ice cream and the sauce made up for it. And the drinks were also amazing and as a good presentation they lit the herbs on fire. Would I go there again? Yes especially for their delicious empanadas. read more

Wow!!! We started off with white sangria and guacamole. Very good and great presentation.

For our entrees I had the Carne Asada cooked to perfection was accommodating to substitute the fries for grilled veggies. My friend had the Baja tacos just as good as Baja California Cabo tacos.

My food was terrible. I had the empanadas with Al pastor and they were all soggy. The Al pastor was very bland. Wouldn't recommend

I'm so excited for their opening because the suburbs need more than chain restaurants. We need pretty patios and craft cocktails, please! And Mi Amor delivers. The food and drinks were fantastic! We loved the elote croquetas, and the taco dinners are great -- delicious birria and ribeye. All the food had so much authentic flavor, down to the rice and beans. My husband enjoyed his smoked old fashioned, and I loved the Berry in Love gin drink. We both loved the coco mojito as well. The service was friendly and attentive. The space is inviting and charming. We sat outside, and I was concerned I'd be hot, but it's covered and they have ceiling fans going. It was actually pretty fresh and super cute out there. They have a few tables with large patio sets, perfect for gathering with friends for cocktails. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the decor. We loved it and will become regulars! read more
