    Fabulous spot for a pre-show dinner! The happy hour deals were awesome, we were expecting much smaller portions and overordered but the food and drinks were fabulous.

    This was our first try of Te Amo tequila bar. First impressions upon walking in the door were that the staff was extremely kind, professional, and attentive. The clientele were a young, lively crowd. The lighting is bright, and there is very loud music playing.  We were able to take advantage of the happy hour menu and pricing so a great value for the amount of food we ordered. The guacamole was great and probably our favorite. The queso was good but unremarkable and the tacos while creative in concept were lacking in depth of flavor and the tortilla were soggy. We won’t return (worth a try), but if you’re looking for a lively / party atmosphere and ok Mexican food at a good price, this is your spot.

    My friends and I frequent this place often but this time we reserved a large party and was unfortunately disappointed.....we were practically told we had to leave due to a time frame of 90 minutes...for 11 people?....not reasonable and uncomfortable for my guests. We were not happy.
