Review Summary

Many reviews describe Amaranto as a local Mexican gem with authentic flavors and welcoming service. Birria tacos stand out, along with tacos al pastor, fish tacos, and brisket soft tacos, complemented by shrimp quesadilla, guacamole, pico de gallo with fresh cilantro, nachos, churros, horchata, and homemade tortilla chips. Margaritas are noted as effective. The ambiance is generally pleasant and not too noisy, and the staff and owners are praised for warmth and attentiveness. Portions vary by dish with some described as generous while others feel small for the price. Service can be fast but on busy nights it can be slow and occasionally disorganized, with moments of waiting for the bill. A few practical concerns include a heavy door that is hard to pull and some menu items that were slightly dry or underseasoned, although the overall impression emphasizes authenticity and consistency. The restaurant is described as a local Mexican gem and many plan to return to try additional selections, including after the move to Monkland where the atmosphere and quality are said to be better than before.View restaurant profile
