They both mean I love you (don't look at the literal translations, I'm a native speaker.) You can say "te quiero" to your friends, family AND to your lover. But "te amo" is usually stronger. It is not usually said to friends. I say it to my husband and to my son.

Te quiero literally means 'I want you', but actually means 'I love you'. However, 'Te amo' means 'I love you' more strongly.

"Te amo" is more serious. It's "I love you" whereas "yo te quiero" is like saying, "I want you".

First one says, "I love you." Second one says, "I want you." Both CAN be the same thing, but amar is used more than querer for something like this. It's more serious and gets the point across more effectively.
