There are three Mexican restaurants within a few blocks of each other in Lake Buena Vista, and each has their pluses and minuses. If you’re looking for margaritas, go to El Patron. If you want very Americanized food, go to San Joses. But if you want authentic Mexican food, the Amor y Chile is your best bet.
The emphasis here is on traditional recipes such as molcajetes and Al Pastor. The tamales come in a corn husk, and the guacamole is obviously home made, with big chunks of avocado.
It’s a nice touch that complimentary, house-made chips are served with three sauces: green, red, and super spicy.
The place won’t win an award for atmosphere, but service is pleasant and the food is satisfying.
