The best Mexican restaurant in Amsterdam: Local Dealer Amsterdam + now pickup and delivery
Local Dealer serves Mexican street food at a top level. According to the undersigned, the best Mexican restaurant in Amsterdam. Not a large menu - some tacos, some ceviches and some street snacks - but every dish is so incredibly tasty that you want to order it again. The idea for this restaurant in Amsterdam East arose during a trip through Mexico. Where the exciting street culture and the tastiest food reign in the cities and on the beaches. Local Dealer is a real Mexican food experience. Good food and a nice fiery atmosphere.
And then you have been preparing for years and then the opening is in the spring of 2020. Fortunately, the summer months at Local Dealer were an immediate success with the lovely terrace. And still excited from such a good summer, they immediately created a fantastic lockdown menu. Tacos, burritos and street snacks for pickup or delivery.
All those slick, stylish things are beautiful. But sometimes you want something more exciting. Something just a little bit off is. With good quality food but with a touch of 'naughty'. In an arty Miami Vice goes Mexico shop on the Dappermarkt you can Mexican cravings to retrieve. The menu includes different types of ceviches, tacos and street snacks crispy en tortilla chips. Not a big menu but what they do, they do well. And let's be honest, in the end you always want the same thing from the menu.
After a few pop-ups, I liked the tacos and atmosphere so much that it deserved a permanent spot. And that place came up in Amsterdam East.
Of course, this delicious food is accompanied by Mexican drinks. If you like adventure and a drink, you can keep in mind that this will not remain your sober evening of the week.
And it doesn't stop at fun and good food. Because the peeps from Local Dealer are also emerging as art dealers. They always show the work of young Mexican artists and thus promote them in Europe. Local Dealer is a clash of cultures and people. The only thing they don't clash with is the food. That's Mexican through and through. And we like it.
Fall 2020 and the restaurants are temporarily closed. Of course we support the restaurants where we can. In addition to the delicious take-away food, we also enjoy the creativity of entrepreneurs. Like that of Local Dealer. If your restaurant is located at the Dappermarkt, you of course open your own stall. During the day you can get the tastiest burritos, tacos and street snacks. The burritos are brand new - so new that we have yet to try them - on the menu and we got the review "the burrito beats everything so tasty". Plus Mexican drinks such as a Paloma (something with tequila and lime juice), a Spicy Margarita and Mexican beers. In the evening, the snack shack simply moves back inside where you can go for take-away or delivery via Deliveroo. With Local Dealer you can be sure that your evening at home will be nice and spicy.
