Review Summary

Amaranto is widely celebrated as an authentic Mexican gem in the heart of NDG, drawing praise for its vibrant atmosphere and consistently high-quality, homemade dishes. The birria tacos, served with a rich dipping broth, frequently emerge as the standout favorite, complemented by delicious margaritas, fresh guacamole, and flavorful salsas. While the vast majority of patrons laud the friendly, welcoming service and the welcoming decor, a few visitors have noted that the restaurant can get quite busy, making reservations advisable, and others have expressed mixed opinions regarding portion sizes and pricing. Despite some minor challenges with the entrance door or occasional service delays during peak hours, the overall consensus is that the restaurant offers a genuinely special dining experience that keeps guests returning.

Really wonderful place on Monkland. We've been going since the old location & they have a very cute terrace now in their new one. The tacos are consistently good & very authentic, their margaritas & agua de Jamaica are perfect, & the service is always friendly. We're very lucky to have a nice local restaurant like this one close by.

A super authentic Mexican gem. Everyone working was warm & welcoming. The food is excellent. No matter what you get, you won't be disappointed. We had the shrimp quesadilla, the birria tacos, fish tacos, & the chicken tacos. Everything was a 10/10.

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.

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.
