Yes yes yes!! A million times yes!! I've been visiting Un amor since they opened and it only keeps getting better! The forever evolving dessert menu is my weakness!! Highly recommend the carne asada bowl, skirt steak sandwich, steak and frites, smash burger torta de carne, churro French toast, literally any/all of the empanadas, etc. Clearly I love everything I've ever tried! Service is always amazing, drinks are always a hit, (spicy mango or strawberry margarita) and of course, always leave room for dessert! read more

Well I have a new favorite breakfast in the neighborhood. The carne asada bowl is amazing! I usually put ketchup on bowls with potatoes in them but I couldn't disturb the perfect blend of flavors after taking the first bite. It was excellent down to the last bite with my steak medium rare. The service is excellent as well with a friendly group who's happy to give recommendations, refill coffee and clear plates as soon as finished but never rushing you. read more

This restaurant was on my list to try for a long time, and it was so delicious. The service was good, and they were very attentive. The restaurant is decorated nicely. I started off with the lavender berry kombucha, and I really liked it! Next, I got the beef cheek empanada and the brisket empanada. Both were delicious, but the brisket one stood out to me. It was so delicious. The crust was flaky and delicious, and the inside was cooked perfectly. I loved the caramelized onions paired with the brisket. For my entre, I got the steak sandwich. The steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare. I asked to have scrambled eggs instead of boiled eggs, and they accommodated me. The sandwich was delicious and very filling. For something sweet, we got the churro french toast. It was soooooo good. It came with ice cream on top. It was perfect. I would def recommend going to try out their brunch. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Un Amor - Carne Asada Bowl with sunny side up egg. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

Un Amor is a casual sit-down Latin American fusion restaurant that serves up some good hefty tacos. I particularly liked the pescado taco which had a nice crunch but would probably pass on the rajas taco. The mussels were great and the entire table enjoyed dipping the broth in the slightly spice-y, rich umami infused broth. My friend got the house marg off the happy hour menu and seemed to enjoy it. Un Amor has plenty of seating with a cool Sentrock painting on the back wall. The fish taco and the happy hour mussels definitely did stick out and I recommend trying both. read more

We went for lunch and stayed for the bottomless mimosas. They have 90 minutes for $25. The waitress was also very attentive at refilling the glasses. I had the carne asada bowl and it was delicious. I loved the bell peppers that added flavor and the corn added a crunch. I ended it with an horchata espresso martini. The cherry on top? The churro was filled. I do not have one negative thing to say. They do take reservations, so that's the only thing I wish I knew. read more

Un Amor is truly a gem and hands down one of my favorite restaurants. The food quality is exceptional--every dish feels thoughtfully crafted and full of authentic flavor. The French toast is my absolute favorite, and the Guatemala breakfast never disappoints. The chilaquiles are incredible--they genuinely transport me back to Mexico with every bite. The quality of the meat is top-tier, and you can tell they use the best ingredients. What really sets Un Amor apart is not just the food, but the entire experience. Their drinks are unique and perfectly crafted--my go-to spot for margaritas and mojitos--and their coffee is simply the best. On top of all that, the service is outstanding. The staff is attentive, warm, and truly makes you feel welcome every time. Un Amor delivers excellence in every way. Highly recommended--you won't regret it. read more

Love this local spot! We just moved around the corner and dropped in for brunch. It's a family owned business and service was amazing. Everyone was so friendly! On top of that, the food was delicious. We just moved from TX and have been craving something like this. The breakfast tacos were so good, as was the carbs asada bowl. They also had a guy doing full time barista work (we sat at the bar watching) and his drinks were on point. Highly recommend, can't wait to try dinner. read more

It was my first time there, and I thoroughly enjoyed brunch. The atmosphere was delightful, with people chatting and enjoying themselves. The service was excellent; my friend and I had reservations, so we didn't have to wait. Parking might be difficult, but I was fortunate to find a spot. I ordered chicken and waffles; the chicken was a thigh, which I don't prefer as it was a bit chewy. However, the waffles were delicious. My friend had a chicken bowl, which she loved. The drinks were also very tasty. read more

I've been to Un Amor about 6-7 times and never have I left unsatisfied with the food or service. Yesterday, I celebrated my nieces birthday and they were so welcoming and accommodating. We had everything from the empanadas to the Churro French Toast. But I think my party would say that the Chilaquiles de Mole were the best especially with the skirt steak added. Again, thank you Un Amor and team for always proving excellent food and service. 10/10. Shoutout to the amazing barista, Nico! read more

Came here on a trip with my mom. We ordered the maiz empanada and burrata and fig toast to start. Both were amazing and the empanada was by far our favorite thing. We wish we just got all of those without the mains. For mains, my mom ordered the chilaquiles verde and I got the smash burger. The smash burger with potatoes was A LOT of oil/fat with nothing to really balance/cut it, veggies on the burger or fruit on the plate would've helped a bit. They did forget to put the aioli on my burger so I had to ask for it on the side. My mom liked the chilaquiles verde, good crisp to the tortillas and it was well balanced. Verde sauce could've been better The server was great - she gave good suggestions as my mom doesn't love red meat. It's a popular restaurant so they did rush us through ordering / eating, but I get having to turn tables. Ambiance was busy, but overall relaxing. If we came back we'd change our order, get the empanadas!!! read more

Un Amor - Steak Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This restaurant has a touch of Mexican flair. Food is decent but, not amazing. I had chicken and waffles for brunch. Chicken they used was the thighs so it would be moist and it was but, the chicken breading did not have a lot of flavor. Waffles were good but, the syrup derived its jalapeño flavor from cut up jalapeños in the syrup and I wish it would have been infused in the syrup. My partner had avocado toast and it fell a little short in the flavor profile. Service was outstanding. read more

Okay so me and my wife went to Un Amor this afternoon and WOW. Like I don't even know where to start. First of all, I got the steak and I literally had to stop and just appreciate it for a second. It was THAT good. Cooked perfectly, super flavorful, just an amazing piece of meat. My wife got the chilaquiles and she basically didn't come up for air the whole time she was eating -- which tells you everything you need to know. And the drinks?? God. We tried a few different cocktails and every single one was incredible. Like the kind of drinks where you finish one and immediately want another. But honestly the best part of the whole night was our servers Karla and Nico. These two were SO much fun and took such good care of us. Super friendly, always checking in, and you could just tell they genuinely love what they do. They made the whole night feel special. We are absolutely going back. If you haven't been to Un Amor yet, what are you waiting for?? Go. Now. You can thank me later. read more

Local brunch spot that serves up classic dishes with Latin flavors. Wasn't a fan of their avocado toast because there was too much cilantro in the guac and the toast had a soggy center and burnt crust. The carne asada bowl's sunny side up egg was actually a bit raw which was disappointing. The main redeeming dish was their chicken & waffles. Those were amazingly juicy and had a very crispy exterior. The waffles were so delicious on their own they didn't even need the syrup. In terms of service, the wait was strangely long & the waiter almost mixed up our orders. We waited about an hour for three dishes - not sure why it took so long but definitely made the experience less enjoyable. read more

This might be a record for fastest review I have ever done immediately after service. But it is for good reason and well worth it. If I were judging the place by how but and popular it was on a regular mid Saturday afternoon, Un Amor wouldn't need it. They seem popular enough! My motivation to do a rare immediate review is the quality of food and more importantly, service. I had the beef cheeks empanada and beef quesabirria and both were 10/10. The empanada was a healthy size empanada, flaky and freshly made and the beef cheeks filling was so delicious, well seasoned, amply filled so you know they were not skimping like you see in other places. The birria was tremendous. Perfectly assembled and so well complimented by 2 different sauces, one for dipping obviously, the other for added flavor on top as needed. The birria was so delicious I completely ignored the onion and cilantro on the side which I almost never do. I have had more bland birria dipping sauces than is possible to count, this was the opposite. You can tell thought and love is put into the dishes at Un Amor. And speaking of love, as a.axong as the food is here, the service was exceptional. At least for me it was. And chief reason for that the wonderful lady who served my, Carla (I hope i got that spelled correctly). I told Carla as I was paying my bill that she was the smile and ray of sunshine I needed in my life today LOL. Carla greets EVERYBODY with the warmest most genuine smile and radiant energy you will find in any establishment in Chicago! Throughout my time eating, Carla (I believe she said her family owns or at least runs the place, I think, was checking in on everyone customer at the bar, totally engaging and connecting with everyone in a way that leaves you no doubt she loves what she does and genuinely cares about her customers and people in general. She constantly checked in on me to make sure I had everything I needed. I was genuinely and truly blown away by the service here every minute I spent at thus restaurant. Carla was also kind enough to introduce some of the other staff...Emily was fantastic as well, and Nico who made me one of the best cortadas I have had outside of Hialeah, Miami FL, which is a big big compliment coming from this coffee/espresso snob! If this tells you anything about the vibe, 2 different customers, strangers I have never met before, sitting next me, voluntarily engaged in friendly conversation about Un Amor, the food, drink, service each time raving about the family type energy at Un Amor in this cute, clean, beautiful spot (that feels both neighborly and classy) that as of today has become one of my new favorite places. I fully intend to become a regular. I wasn't in there long, maybe an hour, but the effect on me was profound. Hence my immediate review. Thank you Carla et company for a wonderful wonderful experience! I will be back to explore the menu further!! Thank you! read more

So on valentine's day we had a reservation and we got all dressed up, battled 2 hours of traffic and got there. While we were in traffic we call to say we are on our way and may be 5 minutes late. The hostess said it was no problem, not to worry. So we get there after that horrid traffic and the same hostess says that they were not honoring our reservation. so II went on my phone and showed her the reservation. She said it was cancelled and they didn't accept reservations from Yelp. She wouldn't give us a table and we had to find someplace else, "on valentine's day. Fortunately, we found a better restaurant. We won't be eating at your restaurant even if it's free. read more
