Traditional cantina-style spot famous for cabrito and generous portions; great food and attentive service with some complaints about pricing, seating in the parking area, and occasional slow or curt service.
El Amaranto delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional food quality—particularly its signature cabrito and traditional preparations—and attentive service that earns strong loyalty. However, inconsistent execution across visits and occasional service lapses at peak times prevent it from reaching higher territory. The warm, bustling atmosphere appeals to families and regulars, though pricing sits above casual cantinas and some seating choices feel compromised.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive for a cantina (many mains MX$245-310; michelada around MX$150)
