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.

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.
