17 x Mexican and Latin American restaurants in Amsterdam
Hello gorgeous! The Mexican Kitchen it is doing well in our largest city. It happens regularly that another Mexican opens its doors - luckily! There are a handful of golden oldies in Amsterdam, a number of brand new, hidden Mexican friends and of course the usual tourist traps. We, of course, only want to visit the tastiest and nicest addresses (and then tip them). Hence a ready-made list 15 x Mexican and, ok, also other Latin American restaurants in Amsterdam. Margaritas, cervezas, nachos and taco galore please!
Hands on each other Rosaria Cocina Mexicana in the Amsterdam Jordaan. And then also in the nicest street of the Jordaan where you will find a number of fine Italians, such as the Pizza van La Perla, and more. That aside: at the tiny Rosario the Mexican cuisine is grand! Don't expect chewed-up, we-know-them-all-tacos and nachos. No no, at Rosaria Cocina Mexicana Amsterdam the serious Mexican cuisine of Tamales and Carnitas de pato (confit duck). Oh, and on Friday and Saturday you can also go there for lunch. Ha!
Bacalar is the new fresh Mexican among all the other Mexicanos in Amsterdam North to be precise. And let's be honest: of this entire (laundry) list, Bacalaer is the absolute favorite. Just saying. Let Bacalar camouflage perfectly within the industrial North where it is housed in a edgy building (grafitti all over). Have you already been to Coba Taqueria and are you enthusiastic? Next time Bacalar will be on the menu. Same owner and same chef (Joachim de Buck) is a guaranteed success story.
We previously wrote about one of them the best Mexican in Amsterdam. Now that's not very fair to the other top players in Amsterdam, but late Local Dealer now certainly the best Mexican restaurant Amsterdam Oost are. So what makes it the best? The dishes are a little more complicated and the ingredients a little more luxurious. And you can taste that. Except the Key are also the atmosphere and formal and casual looks at LD – for intimates, we simply do – to enjoy. On the menu you will find tacos, ceviche and more smaller snacks. And we definitely recommend one boozy evening with these locals, because the drinks are so tasty. No problem if you don't want to drink: the burritos and tortillas are also delicious for lunch without a drink. An extra compliment for the vegan tacos and ceviche. Also tasty for non-vegans.
More corn or less corn. That has long been the question for the guys at taqueria MasMais in Amsterdam West. She went to Mexico in search of traditional Mexican recipes and makes corn tortillas from scratch for their restaurant every day. They grind the corn and make the dough themselves. Just as the difference in pizza lies in a good pizza base, the same applies to the tortillas used in tacos. For good basics, traditional recipes and conviviality, MasMais is the right place for you.
A brand new Mexican friend recently opened her doors on the Warmoestraat in Amsterdam. Personally, we love Mexican cuisine (delicious and affordable - everyone's friend if you ask us) - welcome, Fiona! Good to know: Fiona restaurant will have a menu that consists of more than 50% vegetarian dishes.

Ah, we're there restaurant Sins of Sal in the Amsterdam Jordaan aka a 'piece of Latin America' in the capital. A piece, yes, because the place is small. That shouldn't spoil the fun: it is cozy and cozy and the bites are ideal for grabbing a bite and moving on (and making room for the next one). Not that that is necessarily a good idea: playing the whole card is also a good idea.
And further? Tacos, more than tender spare ribs, spicy black pudding and fresh salads on the side, everything sparklingly explosively flavored. Super snacks to keep you busy for an evening. Works out well: the kitchen of Sins of Sal in Amsterdam is open until the wee hours.
Oh and good to know, because good people: Sins of Sal is related @sal_ams @chamuyero_ams.
A Mexican restaurant opened on the spot where Cinema Paradiso restaurant used to be housed for many years (Westerstraat, Jordaan, Amsterdam). Madre Amsterdam. That in itself is good news, because anyone who knows the location (of the Cinema Paradiso restaurant) knows that it is a top spot and a nice, large business (hello, 1,5 meters). Plus: never enough of Mexican! Although we must honestly say that we regularly did not eat well here - no matter how pleasant it was, and no matter how tasty the wines and cocktails were. Unfortunately!
Are you also looking forward to Mexican food, but would you rather taste it in the country itself? Please, the best restaurants in Mexico, Tulum
Relaxed atmosphere, swinging Miami-esque colorful interior with flamingos and hula girls, small, nice: what more could a Bart want? Everything is spectacularly and explosively flavored Eighth Street. This is great, actually a little to share, while secretly you want to keep everything to yourself.
the pylons is killing the Margarita game. Fancy strawberry, mango or just simple, the way we prefer it. They make it here and they make it well here. Together with a tasty snack you will be in good hands here.
If you think that all Amsterdam taco bars are now over, you are wrong: Taco galore in the Dutch capital these days, but there was definitely room – especially in the heart of the Jordaan – for a new Mexican address. Mr. Haz is nice and approachable and therefore everyone's friend and a no brainer for an uncomplicated taco night out. Good morning Mr. Haz.
Are you mainly looking for the best taco hotspots in Amsterdam? Then you must here being.
Juan, the founder of the aforementioned restaurant The Pilones, opened a second business: Lupe. A fresh addition to the list of restaurants in West, Bos en Lommer to be precise. In a nutshell: Mexican classics in a modern vibe. Shared dining, like they do in Mexico. Tasting a bit of everything, that's the idea. Tasting without the stress of choosing, because everything is delicious. And there is no shortage of delicious cocktails here: hibiscus margaritas, let's go.
And we continue to the Spui, because there you will find Oaxaca – a piece of Mexico in the heart of Amsterdam. What can you expect? That is simple: pure and real Mexican food, made from ingredients that come directly from their own garden or from the countryside.
To get into the mood right away, enter the cozy bar. And start ordering, because those Palomas are delicious. Oh, and the mezcal, don't forget the mezcal. Once through the bar, you enter the restaurant and that is a lot bigger than you might expect at the Spui. With different corners and spaces, there is enough space for everyone. Are you coming with a large group? There is a speakeasys where you can dine in a cozy atmosphere with family or friends. Last tip at the last minute: do not skip the guacamole here.
Let's nacho the night away! Mexican in Amsterdam West, with a big focus on, well, on the drinks actually. The cocktails are incredible we fleek (tip top in order) and furthermore, it is especially the crispy Mexican freshly made chips with dips that are very popular with parakeet. That is exactly what they mainly serve: nacho dishes.
Yeaaaaaaaa. Lord knows that we love good Mexican food. And taqueria Coba, or Coba TaqueriaWhat you want is already here to stay, that's for sure. Expect delicious spicy food and fresh drinks.
It's a big hit in New York, you'll find one in London Tortilla on every street corner, so why not a healthy, fast Mexican in Amsterdam? The Dutch answer: Salsa Shop. This became a high, light store with a spacious counter. The idea, a Mexican menu (a multi-step plan, kid can do laundry), with damn hot (hot) sauce (be careful what you wish for…), same yummy-ness and of course tacos. They are also in Groningen, Rotterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven, Lelystad and Utrecht.
In De Pijp, around and on the Albert Cuyp (literally, when the market is open, there is a stall with Mexican street food), we find another one called Mexicano Dumbass. Nice side note about this address: “Cabron” is a bad swear word in Spanish and translates to “son of a bitch”, “faggot” or even more original “oetlul” as well as the much nicer “delicious”. You can fill in the meaning you give to the word yourself. We prefer delicious, because delicious is what this place is.
Sometimes there are days when we really feel like eating Mexican, but don't want to leave the house. Señor Mostachio is the perfect solution. Here you will find everything you expect from Mexican cuisine and you can take it home with you (double feast). Even if you can just sit there and relax. A small, nice space decorated with Mexican street art. on the walls.
