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!

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.

Je vais souvent manger chez Amaranto, car c'est comme le Mexique, j'ai essayé presque tous les restos mexicains en ville & Amaranto est de loin le meilleur au goût vraiment traditionnel. il n'est pas le plus chic mais il est le plus autentique. Les proprietaires (qui sont d'ailleurs les cuisiniers) tient à coeur la qualité, la fresheur & l'higiène des aliments, aucun conserve ou aliment processé vous sera servi. Je le recommende sans hesiter si vous êtes ouvert à découvrir la vrai cuisine mexicaine & que vous n'attendez pas à manger du tex-mex (burritos o fajitas)

Run by a delightful couple from Mexico City, the food is high quality, authentic, & well proportioned - 4 tortillas & you're full! Excellent service, good price point & a nice diversity. The only good Mexican & it's not TexMex thankfully! Also do takeout but not their specialty. Reliably good & always welcoming...regularly take friends fom out of town & never had a bad experience in more the many years we've been going. Highly recommend!

I would definitely recommend trying this place out simply because the food was phenomenal. The tacos with sausage = pure heaven. We're talking authentic mexican food here. The service was pretty good & there's even a section where you can buy some of their ingredients like hot sauces & etc. They didn't have alcohol, but they make up for it by having amazing specialty drinks. The decor wasn't super beautiful, but do not let that fool you. It's a great place. I will definitely come back here.

I cant imagine i was visiting the same restaurant as the other reviewers here.
Upon arrival, we were struck by the..ahem..barren decor? & that there was only 1 other couple there.
The waitress seemed barely able to crack a smile or greet us, & told us to sit anywhere.
We sat, received our menu, & were told there was no more of the daily special, but the guacamole was recommended, without a price mentioned (8$ for a small bowl) but we ordered it anyway. It was decent, thank goodness, otherwise we would have ended up starving, as our dishes were basically inedible. I had the chicken tacos, which were incredibly dry, flavorless & unseasoned, with some lettuce & cheesish sour cream. Thankfully we had salsa, so i dipped for some flavor. I never received a knife. My bf had the chicken enchiladas, which were soggy, unseasoned, & unpleasant. The rice was, no exaggeration, the worst i have ever tasted in my life, vomity mush. We were as you can imagine, severely disappointed. The waitress never asked us how we were doing, took away our plates without asking how they were, didn't offer us dessert, more drinks, or our bill, all while acting like we were putting her out for being there.
A fail across the board.

Ho my god... do you copy/past your comments on every websites? I was only looking around for that restaurant and I saw that same message more than once. https://plus.google.com/114190324344404533226/about?gl=ca&hl=en

If you want to try traditional meals, maybe you should be a little bit open mind, and less arrogant. For sure you don't know avocat's price, do you? And i guess you don't know anything about traditional mexican food, You can't eat 'tacos dorados de pollo' whit a knife!
