to put it best they mean the same but the thing is you say te amo when its referred to as a boyfriend/girlfriend type relationship

          and you use te quiero to say love you to a friend

Not necessarily... you can say 'te quiero' to a boyfriend as well! - lydianish1, Dec 21, 2011

I think perhaps "te quiero" is just more global. It can be used in any relationship and it varies from I like you to I love you. But "te amo" is much deeper in meaning, and it varies from I love you to I adore you.
