Amaranto propose une sélection authentique de spécialités de rue mexicaines axées sur des tortillas de maïs de première qualité. La cuisine privilégie les techniques traditionnelles pour préparer des garnitures riches en protéines comme le al pastor, les carnitas et la barbacoa, mettant en avant la profondeur des saveurs. Chaque taco est agrémenté de coriandre fraîche, d'oignons blancs et de salsas maison qui équilibrent l'acidité et le piquant. L'espace intérieur reflète une approche fonctionnelle et directe de la restauration décontractée, misant sur la rapidité et l'accessibilité pour ceux qui recherchent un savoir-faire culinaire authentique. Les clients découvrent un menu célébrant la polyvalence des ingrédients mexicains régionaux tout en conservant une concentration sur les préparations essentielles. Chaque élément de l'assiette exprime directement l'héritage culinaire classique sans superflu. Cet établissement offre un voyage concis à travers des profils de saveurs ancrés dans la tradition.
Amaranto s'est imposé comme une destination incontournable dans le quartier Monkland, fréquemment salué pour sa cuisine mexicaine authentique et son atmosphère chaleureuse et dynamique. De nombreux visiteurs soulignent les tacos birria et le guacamole frais comme des incontournables, notant souvent que les plats sont savoureux et de grande qualité. Les cocktails, en particulier les margaritas et les boissons typiquement mexicaines, font l'unanimité pour leur fraîcheur. Bien que la plupart des clients apprécient la convivialité du personnel et des propriétaires, certains retours mentionnent des délais de service occasionnels lors des périodes d'affluence ou des avis partagés sur le rapport entre la taille des portions et le prix. Le restaurant jouit d'une clientèle fidèle qui souligne régulièrement la qualité de l'accueil et la richesse de l'expérience culinaire offerte.
We lived in the neighborhood & big fan of mexican food & when we saw this new place walking around we decided to give it a chance!
The cocktails are super good & the birria tacos are our go to for a quick lunch on the weekend. Specially with the patio during the summer, you can soak in the sun with a cocktail & good food.
The staff is always amazing specially the indian guy that always remember us & give us great service all the time. Keep it up guys & a go to place if you live around the neighborhood or just passing by.. you can stop for good food & cocktails!
We went to this restaurant at 1pm, a groupe of 6. They brought the salsa & tomatillo salsa to the table, then brought the nachos to nibble on before ordering. The waitress took our orders & they had a lunch special which consists of either Guacamole or pico de gallo with nachos as an entrée with our meal, in addition to 1 Churro at the end for dessert. The ambiance is good, not noisy. The food was very good, typical of good quality food as in Mexico. The Birria tacos was so delicious! 3 tacos & I could only eat 2, very filling & lots of meat, slightly good spicy. The Tacos al pastor & the fish tacos were very good also. Tacos with cactus leaves also good. The horchata was good & refreshing. The pico de gallo was delicious with plenty fresh cilantro. The churro was good, but not fully fried, the inside was still not fully cooked. We will definitely return soon to try other choices. Good typical Mexican food. The only thing I have to mention is the black door, the entrance from the street to the restaurant. There is a black door & on it is written 5626 which is the address of the restaurant. It is very hard to pull & open that door! When I arrived, I tried to open it, there is no good grip on it to pull. For an instant, I thought this is not the entrance & I was going to leave. I waited till someone came out of that door so I entered. My friends had the same experience trying to open that door. I had to go myself to the door & opened it so they could enter!
To the Owner: please fix that door handle or change the handle to have a good grip to be able to pull it open to enter the restaurant.

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.
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!!!
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.
