Plusieurs avis décrivent Amaranto comme une pépite mexicaine locale avec des saveurs authentiques et un service accueillant. Les tacos birria se distinguent, ainsi que les tacos al pastor, les fish tacos et les soft tacos de boeuf braisé, accompagnés de quesadillas aux crevettes, de guacamole, de pico de gallo frais, de nachos, de churros, d'horchata et de chips de tortilla maison. Les margaritas sont considérées comme efficaces. L'ambiance est globalement agréable et pas trop bruyante, et le personnel ainsi que les propriétaires sont loués pour leur chaleur et leur attention. Les portions varient selon les plats, certains semblant généreux et d'autres plus petites pour le prix. Le service peut être rapide mais lors des soirées chargées il peut être lent et parfois désorganisé, avec des moments d'attente pour l'addition. Quelques remarques portent sur une porte d'entrée lourde et sur des plats qui peuvent être un peu secs ou manques d'assaisonnement, bien que l'impression générale mette l'accent sur l'authenticité et la constance. Le restaurant est décrit comme une pépite mexicaine locale et beaucoup envisagent d'y revenir pour essayer d'autres plats, notamment après le déplacement à Monkland où l'atmosphère et la qualité seraient meilleures qu'avant.
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.
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.
We just got back from 3 weeks in Mexico & were thrilled to find the food here to be authentic & delicious. What a treat right here in NDG. Birria tacos were crazy good!

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.
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.
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.
Arrived at 6pm with tickets to a show upstairs at Sala Rossa at 8pm. We ordered promptly but food didn't arrive until 7:45pm! We had to chase the waitress to find out what was going on. No explanations, no apologies. We were told that we could bring food upstairs, but as it was General Admission & no tables, that was completely unfeasible. The people who arrived just after us ended up cancelling their orders as they wouldn't get their food in time!
Food was flavorful though slightly underwhelming. They were out of fish, so I had the brisket soft tacos. Be aware that any sides must be ordered separately as there is not even lettuce on the plate.
The room is extremely loud (weird acoustics) & I had difficulty hearing the person talking across the table from me.
My suggestion is that the restaurant should'staff up' on concert nights. From other reviews it sounds like people have had a better experience.
Loved them on Monkland & my husband & I made a special trip to them on St. Laurent. Very nice restaurant, great staff, so friendly & welcoming. & the food was DELICIOUS. Truly authentic homemade Mexican food. We were served chips & salsa verde & a regular homemade salsa that was the best Ive ever had. We ordered the chicken tacos & it was sooo good! You can tell that ingredients are fresh, & it is made on the spot. The owner told us about the last Thursday of each month they have flamenco dancers to feel free to come by & check it out. That made us feel special & it sounds like fun. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND, will definitely return.
