Review Summary

Amaranto is widely celebrated as an authentic Mexican gem in the Monkland Village area, consistently earning praise for its high-quality, homemade dishes. The birria tacos, served with a rich and flavorful broth, are frequently highlighted as a standout menu item, while other offerings like the al pastor, suadero, and fish tacos receive significant acclaim for their fresh ingredients and traditional preparation. Guests generally enjoy the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the friendly, attentive service, which contributes to an overall positive dining experience. Although some reviewers find the portion sizes small relative to the price or occasionally note that the staff can feel overwhelmed when the restaurant is busy, the consensus remains that the food is exceptionally tasty. The establishment offers excellent cocktails, including notable margaritas, and a popular lunch special that provides a comprehensive sampling of their menu. Prospective visitors should be aware that the restaurant primarily accepts cash or electronic transfers for payment, and due to its popularity, reservations are often recommended.

I love the tacos suadero! (Not sure if I'm spelling that right 😄)

The service is always great & super friendly. I usually order for pickup, but it's also a nice place to eat in - chill, welcoming vibes & great food.

Came for lunch with my friends; had a wonderful experience. The place was not too crowded & the one person was able to man the whole place down.

The food was amazing: tasty & full of flabor. The chips were to die for! The lunch menu was amazing: for 20$ you get 3 tacos, a small guac & chips, & a churro (no picture). The chip & salsa is complementary.

I highly recommend & I will be coming back.
