    First time was a charm. Small but very good food today. Had the chilaquiles with 2 eggs. Yes you have to pay extra for eggs and or meats but was worth it. The cafe de la olla was very delicious. I have to say it beat my best from Guanajuato It was very tasty and did not require me putting any cream. The carne asada taco had a very good charcoal taste with good meat. Reminded me of the days I use to go to East LA with my dad and enjoy old school carne asada tacos. Many places don't make them like they used to but this place definitely did! Their Tres Leches was to due for... and a must try. Service was great and it wasn't even busy at the time I went. Restaurant is very clean and they have restrooms. Overall price was reasonable even though I have refrained from LA County establishments due to tax increases. But wasn't the case today. They have parking in front and in rear. Definitely will return to try something else.

    Chicken tinga tostada

    If you're looking for real, authentic Mexican food in Claremont, stop what you're doing and head to Amores Restaurant. The chicken tinga is packed with incredible flavor and cooked to perfection. The carne con chile is as authentic as it gets, not the Americanized Mexican food you'll find at many other places around Claremont. This is the real deal. And the salsas? Absolutely amazing! Every one is delicious, but that orange salsa is hands down my favorite. I also can't forget the iced café de la olla... WOW. It was so good that it didn't need a single packet of sweetener or a splash of milk. Perfectly balanced and full of rich, authentic flavor. This place is a hidden gem that truly delivers an authentic Mexican dining experience. I'll definitely be back!

    This is our 2nd time here and the food was just as delicious as the first time. Although, the restaurant is small, it is bright and clean inside. We had to wait about 10 mins to be seated and were helped within a few minutes. The waitresses are always friendly. The shrimp tacos is my favorite! The queca taco is unique and so tasty. The machacha has lots of flavor and is a good size. Overall would recommend trying them out.

    I came here since I saw that they had mole poblano ($20). Place is in the Claremont Village and the tables were filled quickly. Street parking only. I also got a Baja fish taco ($5) to try which came with sliced cabbage, pico de gallo, and sour cream. The fish batter was not too crispy and the portion size was good. The mole poblano came with a side of beans and rice. The chicken was tender and came off the bone easily. The mole had a good amount of heat, more smokier than other places I've tried. The waitress was nice.

    Cochinita pi ok

    We came here when it just opened and had cafe de olla and tres leches cake and that was amazing! Dense moist cake not too sweet and the cafe de olla was perfect. Today we came for lunch and was still able to order breakfast. This time we sat outside in the back in their little patio area and it was very cute and private. I had the breakfast machaca and the eggs to meat ratio was just right. The meat was tender and flavorful and the beans were delicious. My friend wanted mole chilaquiles and said the flavors were so authentic and tasted homemade. Our other friend had the cochinita pibil. Our waitress was kind enough to let us know that they cook it fresh daily and it needed another 15min it's and if we were ok to wait. It was well worth the wait. Our friend said it was super flavorful and the meat was so tender it was perfect for her. My husband liked his fajitas but was thrown off with the cheese on top. But overall the food were very delicious and authentic. The service was excellent our waitress checked on us all the time. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you are getting.

    This is one of my new favorite restaurants. I love love the beans and rice and chips and salsa and I've had a couple of tacos the other two dishes I tried I really liked, but I would love to explore more things on their menu. This is a really really great new addition to Claremont.

    Enchiladas de Pollo

    Food is simply amazing. I had the enchiladas de pollo and it was soft with great flavor and texture, and the portion was perfect. The ambiance was great and the service was excellent. Looking forward to trying other dishes.

    I always love coming here! I enjoy their breakfast, lunch and dinner! Their food just remind me of a home cook meal and their aguas fresca is refreshing! Overall The place is so cute and the customer service is always great!

    Chorizo breakfast burrito and Breakfast burrito (no meat sub avocado).

    What a lovely find! This place does their beans right and the portion size is large for the prices. Most definitely will be back!

    Mole Poblano
    Ryan S.

    Amores in Claremont fits perfectly into the charm of the village, where everything feels a little more local and thoughtfully curated. I always enjoy spending time in that area, and this spot blends right in with that small town, independent feel. The food was delicious, and the mole in particular stood out with both its flavor and presentation. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it's spotless and stylish, with crisp white walls and deep blue accents that make the space feel clean and elevated. Service was friendly and efficient without feeling rushed, which made the whole meal feel relaxed. It ended up being a really nice dining experience and a place I would gladly return to when I'm in Claremont.

    "Sadly, our experience was disappointing. Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat here. We were a party of two and asked for a four-top, but the server was rude and inflexible, even though the restaurant was about 90% empty." "The interaction was so off-putting that we chose to leave."

    We stopped by for dinner last night and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We got both the mole poblano and ceviche, by the end of the meal we were practically licking our plates clean. Also their carnitas was amazing! The taco came out loaded with meat and had tons of crispy pork pieces adding to both the flavor and texture. We will definitely be back soon to try the rest of the menu. Don't forget to try the Tres Leches before leaving!

    Stumbled across this place while on my walk at the village. Super cute little restaurant. Clean, pretty and cozy. The staff are all very friendly. I was craving something healthy and ordered their quinoa salad. It was sooo good! It had grilled chicken, avocado, red onion, garbanzo beans, cucumbers and mango with this zesty lime dressing. The menu had a lot of different items but I'll definitely come back for this particular salad!

When we went up to order, the server rudely told us she was busy with another order. Stood there for a good minute or two. Proceeded to stare at us, waiting for us to order? Took our order, waited for a table to be cleaned up and walked over there. She then rudely said "can you go sit over there?", motioning to a tiny table in the corner and prioritizing the customers who were behind us to sit there. We spoke in Spanish trying to order and she would keep on going back to English even though she was comfortably speaking with other customers in Spanish. I'm not sure if this server was having a bad day or there was something about us, but I did not appreciate her attitude towards us. I wanted to like this place because of a friend who said she had a good experience. For the price and what we received and how we were treated, I would not recommend.

We had the banquet hall side and it was able to accommodate 200 guests. They had the place set up early and allowed the wedding party to come in advance to drop off drinks, decor, etc. They allowed us to bring food and alcohol. They also prepaid for drinks from the bar so folks could order from a bartender. Only a few dishes were ordered (since there was other food from an outside catering vendor) and I only got to try it after it was cold so I can't give a wholistic review on the food they serve, but I really liked the leaf wrapped beef with Banh Hoi (vermicelli sheet) and the mango salad! My one complaint is the women's bathroom. Two (out of 3) of the stalls can't lock so the girls had to help each other hold the doors closed. However, it was mostly clean and had toilet paper in stock. +They offer takeout containers for leftovers from the party. +Very kind and accommodating staff.

Our usual order is 1lb of shrimp and 1lb of mussels, and we've always been happy with it. This time, we decided to try the Combo #2 because we wanted to add crab legs. We ordered three combo bags, each with shrimp, mussels, and crab legs. Unfortunately, it didn't feel like there was anywhere close to 1lb each of shrimp and mussels in the bags. I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.
