"One thing Bushwick doesn’t lack is great Mexican food, whether it’s street-style bites or chef-driven dishes. Amaranto leans toward the latter, with artful dishes like the tostada (topped with crab, fennel salt, and dehydrated olives) and the tamale (made with the fungus huitlacoche and submerged in tomato-chipotle sauce). The vibe inside the family-run restaurant, however, is laid-back, friendly, and fun. Cocktails go well beyond the typical tequila and mezcal options, as in the tamarind-laced Michter’s Rye concoction." - Paul Schrodt, Carla Vianna, Serena Dai
