Warmer weather makes us crave tacos and margaritas, and we found incredible versions of both at…read more@amaranto_mtl. We loved the elaborate yet understated décor that truly gives the atmosphere an extra touch of authenticity. We started with an exquisitely spicy and balanced, refreshing jalapeño margarita, followed by many dishes we couldn't get enough of. At the top of our list were the fish tacos. We love fish tacos, and these were no exception. Huge and fried to perfection, topped with the freshest ingredients, we could have stopped there and been more than happy, but of course, we didn't. The tacos de suadero, with their juicy and lightly charred beef, a classic, were delicious. So, so good.  Likewise, everything else we ordered was delicious, and there is no question why they've been operating since 2007.

Got: taco platter (al pastor pork, carne asada beef, grilled shrimp), fish and shrimp mix ceviche,…read morelengua taco (tongue, no picture, sorry) Price: $42 CAD for taco platter, $20 for ceviche, $6.5 for individual large taco Value: 8/10 for sharing the taco platter with 3 to 4 people, 6/10 overall The taco platter comes with 12 small tacos (single layer tortilla, the individual a la carte tacos have 2 tortillas and larger), a side of guac, topped with fries, pineapples grilled onions, and cilantro. You can choose 3 taco fillings ranging from pork, to shrimp, to veggies. Spitting this taco platter between 3 people is recommended so that each person gets 4 tacos. The tacos are stuffed! Not overly greasy. The shrimp was slightly overly salty which wasn't unbearable but definitely not ideal. The pastor and carne asada were standard yet delicious. I've never seen this before but the tacos were topped with fries. Necessary, no. Welcomed and novel, yeah. The ceviche was tangy and limey, having the characteristic "slightly touch" citrus cured texture without being cooked. I think for $20, the value here was a little lacking with the amount they gave but seafood is more expensive so not complaining too much. The single a la carte tacos are larger than the street tacos in the taco platter. They're almost twice the size of the smaller street tacos. Pretty much the same as their smaller counter parts except larger and the tortillas are doubled up to support more meat and filling. 2, maybe 3 of these large tacos should be enough for a meal. Overall, $13 for 2 a la carte large tacos seems pretty good for a meal. I'd recommend splitting the taco platter with 3 people $14/person so you can sample 3 different choices of fillings and have guac included. Good place to get a taco fix and share food with friends!

Pleasant lunch in town. We were three for lunch. We hyped up this place to our friend and we…read moreweren't disappointed. The tacos were excellent as were the nachos. Loved the guac . The meat of the Barbacao was a little tough very tasty. The fish tacos looked really good as did their sandwiches. Next time...

When you walk in the restaurant is quite small but they don't let that stop them from setting up a small shop where you can pick up a few items like Mexican candies, hot sauces action figures and more. Once you move past that you get to order so many amazing options from the menu! I started with a tortilla soup, esquites and was already in heaven. For mains we had gotten shrimp tacos (which came in the option of having the battered or grilled) and of course a tamales plate with two different options. Each dish was amazingly tasty and brought so many different flavours. Having recently gotten back from Mexico this was definitely replicating original flavours! You gotta stop in and give yourself the gift of they're menu!

I also asked for a bag for my food and was handed a tiny plastic one (probably meant for pita bread) with attitude. No sauces were given either. To top it off, when I asked for a drink, they put it in a flimsy plastic bag that leaked all over my tacos, ruining the entire meal. They didn't want to offer any refund or make new ones.I ended up wasting over $30 (plus tip) on food I couldn't even eat. Completely disappointed. Do not waste your time and money!

I've never been much fan of tacos but this place made me love tacos! I tried their pasteur and…read moreloved it. The meats in it are super tender and well marinated. Combined with their choices of spicey sauce and it simply makes it more tasty. I'd recommand using the least spicy sauce because althought the most spicy sauce is great but it kind of overshadows the taste of tacos. Out of curiousity, I tried the Chaparritas drink, and really loved the soft taste of it. Definitely would recommand this. The only inconvinience is that they only take cash. They do have an ATM but the fees :'( 100% coming back... with wacks of cash in hand to try all their tacos

It's so smooth and flavourful. They offer a wide selection of meals in their menu and I plan on trying more. I've had their beef taco, beef burrito, pulled pork taco, and their guacamole but they have nachos, and salads, and quesadillas, etc.. By far their best deal is their 4 tacos for $5 on weekdays. Taco party yeahyeah! Seriously consider trying their pulled pork taco, it's their crown jewel. There are tv's inside too and they play the fifa games so I didn't miss Russia vs Croatia. I had an errand to run nearby but I also didn't want to miss the game. It was during the st-hubert sidewalk sale too so lots of fun all around that day! If only this place wasn't so out of my way!

Extremely disappointing experience from beginning to end…read more The service was rude and unwelcoming. When I was about to ask where to pick up my order, the employee responded with, "Did you look over there?" with an unnecessary attitude. Then when I went to grab the order, the other employee couldn't even hand me the food, I literally had to lean over the counter to get it myself. No thank you, no smile, no basic customer service. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing. The tacos and burrito were extremely dry and had very little flavor. What really made this experience unacceptable was finding foreign objects in our food. My girlfriend found what appeared to be a piece of wood in one of her tacos and thankfully noticed it before biting into it. Then I found a long piece of hair in my burrito. At that point, it was honestly disgusting. I work as a videographer with restaurants and have eaten at many different places, and my girlfriend also does food reviews, so we experience a lot of restaurants. This was easily one of the worst experiences we've had. Bad service, disappointing food, and serious issues with what we found inside our meals. I definitely won't be coming back.
