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.

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.

What a gem for El Paso! My partner and I came to celebrate his birthday and it was a lovely time. The staff was so welcoming and attentive, the food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was great. We are excited to come back and try even more of the menu!

Carolina was professional, courteous, and fantastic. The complimentary champagne for our Anniversary was perfect and the song they played when they brought it to us was heartwarming. Delicious pasta dishes, empanadas, and sushi grand tuna appetizer was over the top.

My wife and I took my daughter for her 24th birthday dinner to Amar. It was our first time there and we were blown away by the drink, food and deserts ordered. We all chose 3 different meals and they were all delicious. Not all deserts were available but the ones we chose were very good. Carolina was our server and she did an awesome job keeping up with us. The only thing that did bother us was a group of women that were seated next to us who were being extremely loud with there different conversations between each other. Luckily, they were there towards the end of our meal so it didn’t play to much of a negative factor. Over all, we would definitely go there again.

The food and overall experience were just okay—nothing extraordinary, especially given the high prices. I found it significantly overpriced for the level of service and food quality. It’s decent, but definitely not worth the cost. Additionally, serving red wine so cold was disappointing; it completely ruins the wine.

We have been to Amar a couple of times and always have a great experience. This time we had our children who were visiting for the holidays and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
