    Love this place! Service is very attentive and friendly. Always happy to come back. Favorite dish is From The Garden, a vegetarian entree of fresh vegetables and a well considered green mole sauce.

    This sit-down joint (also in Bushwick) has more than just tacos on the menu, but we’re dreaming about the steak tacos with onions, mushrooms, watercress and chile de arbol sauce. Read more

    For Mexican home-cooking, this is the best spot in Bushwick. Tacos are great, but the entrées and cocktails are what separate Amaranto from the many taquerias around. Chicken adobado and short ribs!

    This place is amazing! The pork tacos are delectable, the spicy quac is a great way to start, and the short ribs with mole rojo are so delicious 🤤

    Chili guacamole was a must. Generous portion on the tacos and the chicken with potatoes/ spinach/ chipotle sauce tasted amazing. Loved the staff (Paulina)

    A casual, feel-good spot. The food at this family-run spot is bright and fresh, and there's stuff here you won't find at the average Mexican place.

    Tacos are great for a quick bite on the cheap. Yuca fries also worth it. Haven't tried the entrees but so far I'll definitely be heading back.

    Despite the unassuming exterior, this place really is a neighborhood gem. The fish tacos are the best I've had in NYC.

    The vegan garden dish is actually solid despite sounding like a salad

    Exceptionally acceptable. Basically the safe, clean, tasty food I would suggest for people who aren't sure if they like Mexican or not.

    What left me impressed was the coffee cake that was not ij their menu. Coffee Cake soaked in alcohol with berries leaving you guilt free.

    Bushwick's best-kept secret. Particularly if you don't pay attention to this Breukelyn native's post...

    The yuca fries are great. The wifi network is 6B7458 and the password is 20283247.

    Decent, but a little overpriced. On the trendy side of Mexican food. Personally I still prefer classic Mexican.
