Review Summary

Amaranto is highly regarded for serving authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine, with the birria tacos frequently highlighted as a standout favorite. Guests consistently praise the friendly and welcoming staff, the vibrant atmosphere, and the quality of their homemade chips, salsa, and margaritas. While most diners find the portions generous and the lunch specials excellent value, a few patrons felt the pricing was high for the amount provided. The restaurant is celebrated as a local gem, though visitors should note that reservations are recommended due to its popularity and some minor difficulty with the entrance door handle.

Really cute place & very friendly staff.

Unfortunately the food was very underwhelming. We got the chicken quesadillas & beef tacos suadero, & the meat was very dry & flavorless.

However, the tortilla chips with the 2 dips they serve while waiting for the food are 10/10!

We lived in the neighborhood & big fan of mexican food & when we saw this new place walking around we decided to give it a chance!

The cocktails are super good & the birria tacos are our go to for a quick lunch on the weekend. Specially with the patio during the summer, you can soak in the sun with a cocktail & good food.

The staff is always amazing specially the indian guy that always remember us & give us great service all the time. Keep it up guys & a go to place if you live around the neighborhood or just passing by.. you can stop for good food & cocktails!

The food wasn't bad. However, they only do cash or e-transfer which itself is shady. I'm not the CRA though so I don't particularly care about whether or not they're paying their taxes. My problem is that it's a huge pain in the neck for food that was rather bland.

Service was slow & my friend never got the drink she ordered. Never told us their card machine was broken until it was time to pay.
We had 3 entrees & 3 mains.
Entree portions good but were super small for the price. 15$ a small bowl of guac is criminal.
The mains we had were the potatos hardshell tacos, which were bland.
The hardshell chicken tacos, which were dry.
The birria tacos, which came with plenty of meat but no flavor.
It was also unbearably hot inside & not very lit up well.
