Amazing! The best Mexican restaurant in town. The food is amazing. My husband & I had the chicken enchiladas, the birria tacos, & the refried beans & they were delicious. The staff & owners are super kind & welcoming. The restaurant is clean, comfortable with a vibrant decor. We are so happy that they came back to Monkland!!!

It's good, but way too expensive for the tiny portions. A 10yr old can make mexican food
Mia
Super authentic Mexican spot, with lovely owners & amazing food. They are so hospitable & are experts at what they do. Star of the show are the birria tacos, but nothing you get will disappoint.

Les'crispy tacos' au poulet étaient fades & secs. Tout manque d'assaisonnement.
Amine
Truly personalized service; felt like we were the only table.

Dope spot! Great decor & bomb food. The ceviche was bussin' (bussin- bussin nah mean)
Margaret
Great experience. We visited because the decor caught our eye when we were walking by. Service team was helpful & attentive. We felt the portions were generous & I liked the food. I recommend the ceviche!

Authentic, excellent, fresh, best pico I've ever had. Kind staff, great relaxed atmosphere. May they last a long long time!

Only tried their chicken pastor so far. It was fine but dry & lacked flavor a bit. Their tortillas chips however were really damn cripsy & quite enjoyable. I'm willing to give their tacos another chance, maybe the porc would be less dry.

I went with a friend around 6pm on a Friday. I recommend getting there early because it's gets very busy. By the time we left there was a line of people waiting for a table. The servers were great but since they were so slammed it did take them a while to come back around to us & then get us the bill. We ordered the guacamole & the beef & pork tacos. Food was great. We spent around $30 each.

Great New Mexican restaurant in the heart of NDG (Monkland Village). The food is amazing (both times we ordered the guacamole, soft Tacos Suadero & the Fish Tacos. The fired plantains are also very good!! The food is fresh & authentic!! From the moment you walk in, the warmth of the staff & the rich aromas from the kitchen make it clear that you are in for something special. This place is a local gem!!

ALERT: Amaranto has moved. Their new address is 5626 Monkland. The food & uplifting ambiance is better than ever! Authentic Mexican dishes (I love the tacos Al Pastor,) friendly service, & awesome guacamole with homemade tortilla chips! If you want the best Mexican food in Montreal, Ameranto's is the place to be.

Tiny portions. The tacos are mini. Food is ok, not wow. Not worth it for the price.

Arrived at 6pm with tickets to a show upstairs at Sala Rossa at 8pm. We ordered promptly but food didn't arrive until 7:45pm! We had to chase the waitress to find out what was going on. No explanations, no apologies. We were told that we could bring food upstairs, but as it was General Admission & no tables, that was completely unfeasible. The people who arrived just after us ended up cancelling their orders as they wouldn't get their food in time!
Food was flavorful though slightly underwhelming. They were out of fish, so I had the brisket soft tacos. Be aware that any sides must be ordered separately as there is not even lettuce on the plate.
The room is extremely loud (weird acoustics) & I had difficulty hearing the person talking across the table from me.
My suggestion is that the restaurant should'staff up' on concert nights. From other reviews it sounds like people have had a better experience.
