    Guava and cheese empanda - A baked empanada filled with guava and cheese, topped with powdered sugar, is placed on a plain white plate. The empanada has a golden-brown crust with a slightly uneven surface, indicating a hand-made preparation. The plate is on a wooden table, and part of a glass is visible in the top left corner. The image highlights the dessert's presentation and ingredients, typical of Latin-inspired cuisine.

    Why 5 stars? Because this hit the spot with exactly what I was looking for. --- --- --- I recently had a work trip to Chicago and had a lunch spot picked out when I landed, but then Yelp's Top 100 list for 2026 came out, and I quickly pivoted to Un Amor. And it was an excellent decision. Those pictures of the steak bowls could not have spoken louder to me. I visited the day after the Super Bowl, which is always a debaucherous eating day, so I just needed some good, clean eating. Eggs, potatoes, asparagus and most importantly, high quality steak. Don't get me wrong, I was pretty tempted by the smashburger, but we just had burgers during the game, so the carne asada bowl was an easy decision. I also grabbed a guava and cheese empanada, which really hit the spot too. I'd love to come back again during a future Chicago trip.

    First ones here on a Saturday morning with a reservation! The spot is spacious but does fill up quick. A great latin brunch spot in West Town! The service was great and everything came out in a timely manner. The latte art was instagrammable. The food was hefty & showcased the quality meats. I believe I got a traditional breakfast (forgetting which latin country it was based off of) with steak, longaniza, beans, plantains, & eggs. It was delicious! The other breakfast pictured was a skirt steak sandwich with potatoes & it was also perfect. We came here for our anniversary so loved the added touch of churros with candles to end the meal. Definitely an elevated latin brunch spot to check out!

    All the food was amazing! The carne asada bowl was very filling and the meat was cooked perfectly to my preference. The French toast flight is a great option to share if you wanna try a little bit of them all! My favorite was the banana French toast Only issue we had was waiting times for food was about 25 min and waiting for to-go boxes and the check also too another 20 ish minutes Would def come back to try their dinner menu!

    Un Amor might just be my new go to brunch spot! The food was impeccable, staff was super kind, and the facility was cute and clean! I don't like to get the same thing at restaurants usually, but I would 100% get the Carne Asada Bowl again & again & again. The Horchata Carajillo was also super good and came with a delicious churro on top!

    Empanada - Guava
    Suzi P.

    A perfect brunch spot in West Town. We stopped in on a Monday and were thoroughly impressed by the food, coffee, and overall vibe. The menu really shines with its savory options--we ordered the guava empanada, smash burger, carne asada bowl, and chilaquiles verdes with birria, and every dish was a hit. The chef truly knocked it out of the park. The coffee was just as memorable--the mazapan latte and dulce de leche latte were rich and flavorful. Service was quick, and the team was warm and welcoming throughout. Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu.

    An amazing vibe every time we come! All the food is amazing. I don't like the flat flip over scrambled egg style they do. Other than that everything is fab! Came here with my daughter for brunch with friends. The kids loved it! Came again with a friend and it was the same!! Service is always attentive and accommodating.

    Elite brunch spot! Recommend making a reservation as this place gets busy. No surprise though cause their food is so good. A few in my group got drinks but I skipped this time, they do have a bottomless brunch option in addition to their cocktail menu. Drinks looked very tempting! Highly recommend the carne asada bowl! It was so flavorful. Ask for some homemade salsa on the side too. You won't be disappointed! First time here but it definitely won't be my last, wow I'm so impressed!!! Need to try for dinner sometime too.

    "Avocado" toast with 2 poached eggs
    Jill G.

    I came here when they first opened. I loved the friendly service & my avocado toast was amazing. Such a cute, cool vibe. We tried it again today & my avocado toast wasn't a great as before. They changed the fresh avocado to a thin guacamole spread. The bread is so good from Publican. It comes with 2 poached eggs. One was prepared perfectly, one was hard. The micro greens & shaved beets were nice, but it lacked flavor. I used salt & pepper to give it something. My husband got the chicken & waffles. They use thighs. He also thought it lacked flavor. The breading tested burnt but bland. It came with bourbon butter & a drizzle of syrup. It needed more, would have been nice if it came with some on the side. As a pescatarian, I wish the had more veggie choices on the menu. Or sub vegan chorizo. I'll be back to try again. I loved their friendly energy.

    Horchata Carajillo
    Shani Y.

    I came here on a Monday morning and was seated immediately. The atmosphere was nice and chill. Torta De Carne Asada (4/5): chose to make it a burrito, steak was flavorful, potatoes on the side were really good and seasoned well Horchata Carajillo (1/5): didn't taste horchata, mostly espresso, had a weird taste Hibiscus Margarita (4/5): refreshing, not too sweet

    Car Carne Asada Bowl

    I went for a brunch. The place is very nice and clean. The waitress was very nice. I ordered the Carne Asada Bowl. It had Skirt steak, roasted potatoes, mixed peppers, red onion, asparagus, I requested scrambled eggs. The whole bowl was good. But not great. The meat was good and tender. The rest of the ingredients could have used some seasoning. We ordered the Braised Brisket Empanadas, they were excellent! The flavor of the brisket was really flavorful and so very good! Highly recommend. Overall it was a good experience. I will go back to try their dishes.

    This is such a cute brunch spot! We came on a Sunday around 11AM and the restaurant was packed but we managed to snag two seats at the bar. Started off with a strawberry horchata latte and my friend ordered the ube latte. I loved the dried flower petals they had adorned my cup with. We wanted sweet and savory so we ordered the Guatemalan breakfast and shared the french toast flight. The steak was cooked to perfection, it was so juicy! Out of the three flavors of the french toast, I enjoyed the banana foster one the most. I loved that the restaurant is family owned and ran. The owner came over to introduce himself and his family members who were working. Will definitely be back to try more dishes in the coming weeks!

    Came to Un Amor on a Sunday for brunch with a group of friends, and it was fantastic! We made a reservation on Resy two days in advance, and there were plenty of dining times available. The day of, we were running a bit late and were able to call to push our reservation back. Everyone was so kind, and our server had the best recommendations. We got the brisket and cachete empanadas to share and they were the best we've ever had. The skirt steak and chimichurri were also fantastic. We all enjoyed our food, and the skillet cookie at the end was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this restaurant for the excellent service, ambiance, and quality and taste of food. It's easily one of my top brunch places this year.

    Paloma was good.

    Yesterday I visited this restaurant and my experience was mixed. The service was OK--not excellent, but not bad either. We ordered empanadas as an appetizer, and I have to say they were excellent, probably the best part of the meal. For our main dishes, my wife ordered a hamburger and I had the steak sandwich. The steak sandwich had good flavor, but the bread was very soggy, almost like an Italian beef sandwich. In my opinion, this type of sandwich should have the bread a bit more crispy. Unfortunately, the hamburger was the worst part of the meal. My wife left almost the entire burger untouched because it was very salty and had a taste similar to old meat. I mentioned it to the server without complaining, since that's not usually my style. I just hope this feedback helps them improve the quality of some of their food. I understand this may not be a place known for burgers, but they are on the menu, so it would be good to maintain consistent quality across all dishes

    Carne Asada Bowl - A plate contains a carne asada bowl with grilled asparagus spears, sliced beef topped with green salsa, and scrambled eggs. The dish is served on a white plate placed on a black metal table outdoors, with some napkins visible nearby.

Despite their well-earned fame, this spot keeps the humble, hole-in-the-wall energy intact, small, unpretentious, and staffed by some genuinely warm and welcoming people. Pop in, grab a seat, and let them do the rest. My fiancé and I shared the quesabirria combo, two quesabirrias with consomé, a Mexican Coke, and a Jamaica, and honestly, everything was amazing. The Jamaica alone deserves its own shoutout: perfectly balanced, not too bitter, not too sweet, and exactly what you need to cut through the heat of the food. The tacos came out piping hot, prepped right in front of us, loaded with cheese and packed with flavor. The consomé was warming, rich, and perfectly spiced, the kind of broth that makes you want to tip the bowl. And the accompaniments (onion, cilantro, peppers, lime, and salsa) give you full control to doctor things up to your liking. For spice lovers, this setup is a dream. My one gripe, and the sole reason I'm docking a star, is the price. At around $30 for two tacos, a consomé, and drinks, it's a tough pill to swallow. As a Mexican American, there's something about that price point that pulls me slightly out of the authentic experience I was hoping for. I fully respect the craft and passion behind this food, but it's worth noting. That said? Don't let it stop you. This food is incredible, and I'll absolutely be back.

Really awesome space at a crowded downtown location. Foods were served on nice metal holders or disposable/environmentally friendly containers and utensils. The tacos were huge, and I love that they focus on the variety of vegetables on the taco, which is often overlooked at other places. Veggies also make the taco look beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the tikka paneer, the paneer was soft for paneer but firmer than tofu, a really great texture. And the flavor wasn't overpowering. The tikka sauce was light, which I am totally fine with. The chicken quesadilla was also made well and of good value, the kids all really liked it. The salmon was good too but didn't really stand out as much, but appreciate the variety veggies on top! The mexi-Cali shrimp bowl was not bad either, but also didn't stand out much. The shrimp was good but I prefer it cooked even lighter if possible. Flavor was good tho. The rice was long grain, which I prefer, but they do give quite a lot, I ended up having quite a lot leftover. I wish the had a bit more cilantro or other herby mix to increase the depth of flavor, but overall still pretty good. Queso was also really good, thick and creamy, not too salty, but sadly the kids didn't like it as much. Husband also liked the gochujang pork a lot, said it was actually really really good. Overall, we really enjoyed everything we had there. Love that they also had paper towels everywhere. My preferred method of keeping clean haha. Will definitely come back.
