About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
Translation of amar in English:
amar (ah-mahr)
Verb
1. To love
We think the word AMAR is the most beautiful word in the Spanish dictionary, whose root "amma" (AMOR) is born from the first sound syllable that a child expresses to a mother. It is a reminder of the purest feeling of humanity.
AMAR refers back to the creator’s creative energy, the most subtle vibration that has formed everything, AMOR.
Perú &
México
Our Menu Is Completely Based
on pure love for comida
The idea of creating a Peruvian + Mexican kitchen happened because the cultures merged in our family sparked a combination of flavors, techniques and dishes in our gatherings.
After 10 years admiring and learning from Peruvian cuisine we decided to follow this dream and share with our community what we cook in casita.

    We were in a party of 9 and I was very clear from the beginning I have a crustaceans allergy, I ordered the Ceviche, which states very clearly it contains shrimp, so I made it crystal clear that I wanted to order without shrimp and asked to make sure it was prepared with clean utensils and gloves (i have been here before and that was done perfectly and I had zero reaction to it). Keep in mind my allergies could potentially kill me or at least send me to the hospital. When my food came and was about to start eating, the waiter comes running saying my plate was not carefully prepared and that it had shrimp in it. After that, some lady came yelling that there was no way it could be done without shrimp and was very rude about it. They ended up prepping the food and it was done correctly and tried to hide their mistake with a little ice cream. The waiter was very apologetic, but the other lady was continuing to be very rude.

    What a great find!! The food, the presentation of the dishes, the service are all excellent! We enjoyed the shrimp and cheese empanadas to start - so fresh, and the flavors with the dipping sauce were amazing. We tried the huancaina chicken and the tuna nikkei. And don't skip on the desserts! Affogato for one; beso espresso for the other. Highly recommend!!

    Fly’s were all over the place. And the server just handed a table the fly swap, isn’t that their job… not the customers. I couldn’t even sit in peace they were all over us . We decided to just leave. ALSO had reservations for a table and they sat us at the worst table possible. 0/10

    One of the best meals I have had in a very long time. Our party of six tried multiple dishes and every one of them was exceptional! Can’t wait to go back!

    Excelente todo. Le doy 10/10. Solo por favor poner una salsa picante para los amantes de sufrir-disfrutar las salsas. Regresaremos pronto.
