In Short
Named after the amaranth grain that's used to make Mexican "alegria" candy, this cozy yet stylish eatery is where shoppers stop in for a little mall repreive and indulge in brunch, lunch or dinner. The menu ranges from familiar dishes like guacamole (made fresh tableside in a stone mortar and pestle) and chicken enchiladas to regional specialties such as Puebla mole, made from 18 different ingredients. There's also a to-go store featuring an extensive takeaway menu, traditional Mexican salsas and crafts for sale. (Photo credit: Howard Wise)

This restaurant is in the new Topanaga Plaza Mall. Authentic Mexican style food but the most important feature of this restaurant is their bar. They carry over 300 varieties of Tequilla. Obscure name, well know names and they offer Tequila flight tasting. A series of 3 different tequillas are brought to your table for sampling. For those with a party of 12 , there's a semi-private dining area which is set off from the main restaurant. Definetly recommended!!!

Good food. Good ambiance. Good margaritas. Unfortunately, one hostess is rude. The manager shows very little interests in his customers. If you have a complaint, he could care less. There was a problem with our table reservation. The hostess was indifferent and rude. We asked for the manager. He would not say his name. He basically said, this is how things work in this establishment and that he deals with complaining customers all the time. He kept defending the hostess and his policies without trying to learn about the problem at hand. He would not let any of us speak. He kept interrupting and talking about how customers complain all the time and that is all he deals with day in day out. Wow! Completely unprofessional. The other hostess, the waiters and the rest of the staff are friendly and provide good service. Because we had this unfortunate interaction with this one manager, we will not be going back.
