Amaranto - Brooklyn: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in the Heart of Bushwick

We love amaranto! It’s truly a neighborhood staple. The quality of the food is high, and it’s a family-run business so it feels great to support them. Their sangria is also to die for. I’ve never had a bad meal there, ever!

Authentic, soulful Mexican food with incredible hospitality. I sat at the bar and had the enchiladas verdes—perfectly executed, flavorful, and generously portioned. You can tell there’s real heart behind the food. The owners themselves were running the show, and their warmth and attentiveness made the experience even more memorable. It’s a rare combination of authenticity, hospitality, and honest pricing. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. Amaranto is a gem.

My favorite restaurant in Bushwick! Moving out of BK and I will miss the fish tacos and salad more than any other food in the area. Trust me on the salad! The bigger menu items like the steak, vegetable main, and enchiladas also stand out if you’re hungry hungry. Cocktails are phenomenal as well. Great place to sit outside with friends or on a date. Esp if you have a gluten free friend! Full menu is gluten free. Close to Maria Hernandez if you want to take a walk after eating :) This is a QUALITY restaurant that I can tell you will quickly become one of your favorites. Go once you want to keep going back. Thank you Amaranto for the best meals!

I love ordering takeout from them. Great Mexican food, delicious tacos, burritos and enchiladas. Food to go is always nicely wrapped and packed. One of my favorite spots to order take out in Ridgewood since they are always reliable.

Overall Phenomenal! Some of the BEST mole I’ve ever had, very rich and flavorful with depth and spice! Yucca fries were crisp on the outside side and warm an fluffy like inside sooo good! I tasted the shrimp taco and it was seasoned to perfection! I had the tamarind drink, it was a great balance of sweet and sour and it was STRONG. The espresso ice cream with a blackberry compote (I believe)over a churro was yummy the ice cream taste like espresso not coffee which was differenttt the compote was tart and the churro was slightly sweet and crunchy. The walnut Tres Leche cake was moist, nutty and not overly sweet. All of the presentation is superb and the photos prove that; I would highly recommend this spot!

Went with a couple friends on a Saturday night and it was a great experience. Not too busy we were able to walk in and get a table. Atmosphere was intimate, staff was friendly however service was a bit slow. They didn’t seem to have any type of system when it came to checking up on each table. Food was really good. Especially dessert. I thought the prices were pretty fair. Would recommend

Food was full of flavor! We had multiple dishes from the appetizers to main course. The guacamole was delicious, it had some unique flavors with some type of beans sprinkled on top. The tostada was crunchy and every bite had different layers of seasoning. The burrito was huge, lots of meat and loved that it was toasted. The alcoholic drinks were just right. Margarita did not disappoint. Overall great spot for Mexican, had a great experience.

Really lovely experience with great beef tacos (4/5) and really great and packed gobrenador tacos (5/5). The $11 Margaritas are also very strong, but otherwise the food is pricey. The mole (4/5) was also tasty - very creamy and smoky with well cooked chicken.
