Restaurant Amaria

It is difficult to find authentic Mexican food in Canada and Montreal.

This is the best Mexican authentic cuisine I have found so far. It is a cozy little place with Mexican-style interior design, colorful walls, and Mexican music playing.

If you love authentic Mexican cuisine, Maria Bonita is the perfect place for you! This family-run restaurant serves up traditional Mexican dishes made with love.

I visited Amaria for my mother's birthday in March 2017, we were a group of over 10 people and several children and we had a reservation. Half of us arrived first and had to wait 20 minutes for the rest of our party, but when we asked for the bread basket we were told we needed to wait for everyone to be seated. Once the rest of us arrived we were checking the menu and asked for some bread again and were told normally they wait until the main course to serve it. We all ordered and the quality of the food was good, but they brought one bread basket for everyone. We asked 3 more times for more bread and finally the last time they asked us "how many pieces of bread do you need". It was extremely odd. Every time we asked for something the waiter would go and speak to the owner first and be gone for 10 minutes. Overall a strange experience. FYI this restaurant has been opened only a few months but the owners are the same as the Georgios that was there before (you can verify online), so they should know how to act with customers. I would not return based on the service.

Open 6 months or so. Great Moroccan food Tagines are a specialty and good Italian food, pizzas, pastas and veal dishes. BYOB makes it even more attractive.
