    Ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce
    Matt G.

    I ate here twice out of convenience, not because of the poor Yelp reviews. This place is across the street from Amsterdam Centraal Station. When I saw the Virgin Mary sign lit above the restaurant, I had to take another look. I saw a waiter with a black shirt with a white collar and a black apron that appeared to be a robe. On my first visit for an early dinner I ordered a rib eye steak with fries. The steak was cooked perfectly and was a bit thin and was short on seasoning. I added some salt and it was OK. The service was good and enjoyed a few cold beers with my meal. On my second visit for a late lunch I ordered a quesadilla appetizer, a rack of ribs and fries with a few cold beers. The quesadilla was good and the ribs were OK. The ribs had no smoke flavor and no noticeable spice rub. The ribs were just meaty enough but had good sauce on them. Both meals were about 35 euros each, including beer. Not bad. Three stars!

    Close ups of the unappetizing grey chicken and celery filling.

    After arriving in the early afternoon, after check in and the getting settled after another day of traveling, it was about 1530. Proximity was the name of the game with two hungry kids and two hungrier adults. Staying at the DoubleTree, this place was about a 5-7 minute walk, but that's where any kind of greatness this restaurant had going for it ended. We were greeted as we walked in and sat without wait.. 1530 though, why would there be a wait anyway. For some reason we asked to be seated inside, maybe because it was a bit muggy and it felt cooler when we entered. As the our time there went on, the interior became increasingly more and more muggy as if we were outside. Our drink order was taken right away, but it was a good amount of time before having our food order taken. The menu has a few different sections: tapas, Mexican, and Argentinian steak. There may have been another one or two, but the split second decision to get Mexican on our way to a different restaurant remanded us to that section. We ordered enchiladas verde, a chimichanga, a chicken quesadilla for the kids to split, a soft drink each for the four of us and one 250ml bottle of water. It took quite a while for our food to arrive, especially for such simple dishes. When it finally got to our table, both the chimichanga and enchiladas were significantly undersized. The chimichanga was barely larger than my wallet in length and width and the enchiladas were about the same in length while having the circumstance of the handle to a bat. To my surprise, my enchilada verde (which means green, if you don't know, meaning it should have a good portion of, if not be bathing in, verde sauce on top of it) were very not sauced with just a very small portion maybe a red enchilada sauce on it topped with cheese (as referenced in my picture). In the moment, I put that aside for the sake of hunger. Aside from the small stature of the chimichanga, the appearance was fairly decent, although it was in fried too long giving a dark brown color to the tortilla. The quesadilla had some grill marks, but generally looked under grilled. Taste.. uhmm.. yeah. There was none to be found. What little flavor managed to reveal itself was terrible. Dry. No seasoning. No taste in a literal sense that there was just no taste. The chicken had an unappetizing grey color to it as well in all three dishes. My kids ate the quesadilla with only one complaint, but they're still in the "picky eater it's a quesadilla so it can do no wrong" phase. The complaint was there being lettuce and a slice of tomato inside it, like burger topping style, no shredded and diced like some places include. Inside both the chimichanga and enchiladas were celery which, while providing a taste in the absence of any, was just the taste of celery with flavorless mush of chicken. I only ate one of the two enchiladas and tried to pass it off to my older child since she finished her half of the quesadilla but she wasn't into it either. The dishes arrived with yellow pilau rice instead of any kind of Mexican rice, a spoonful of salsa, guacamole and sour cream on it, as well as an out of place garnish salad. They also came with "Mexican beans," which you'd think would refer to refried beans, but they were some manner of whole bean in a salsa-ish sauce. An unpleasant bonus to this meal was a server walking in wearing street clothes and heading to the unoccupied dining area to the right, which is still visible from the dining section we were in. He placed down his bag and proceeded to take off his shirt and change into his work shirt. I'm not offended by a guy changing his shirt and he didn't appear dirty or grungy, but you just can't do that in the dining room of a restaurant with customers in it. 64€ for this disasterpiece of a meal. Mexican food in Amsterdam, we knew better, but overwhelming hunger and the allure of it after living in England for two years without it won out over logic. We walked back to the hotel and ordered room service and we're worlds happier. Just avoid this place.

    Had an amazing meal here tonight! Got a canal side table and the staff were fabulous! Could not have been more helpful or more polite!!! Portions were large but did not take away from the quality of food! Highly reccomended and would definitely go back if I came to Amsterdam again!

We ordered some of the tacos to share (they have 4-5 per serve) and I honestly think that these are pretty good for Mexican food on the Netherlands. The tortillas were freshly made and soft, and the mole chicken was flavorful. The downside was the carne asada was a bit tough but still tasty and came with some fresh guacamole.

Service was prompt and we started off with house margaritas. They were tasty, sorry I forgot to get a picture, we are from Texas, so know good margaritas and tex-mex, these were on par with what we are used to. We also had their chips and salsa, which was good and better than expected as we have very high standards. Our friends arrived and we talked awhile before actually ordering. The place filled up fairly quickly but never got too loud for conversation. My wife and I shared the tacos carnitas our friends had the chicken nachos and a chicken burrito. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Our tacos were flavorful, tasty and a good portion size. The only drawback, was not enough to deduct a star, was that the pico de gallo was wet enough that the tacos were resting in a shallow soup. Still they were good so no big deal. If you are from Texas and craving Mexican food, this is the place to go, 5 star service and ambience, reasonable prices, and 4.5 star food (so 5 star overall). If you are not from Texas or Mexico, and you want to try those flavors, try this place. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. Felize comiendo!

They were flavorful with fresh soft tortillas and had some crunchy chicharron inside, which make them extra delicious. The tacos come with green salsa and onions. I have to say my horchata wasn't the best but I'm gonna give them a pass on it because maybe it's just not that popular here. The good thing is that it was not too sweet. The service was great and with a smile and they were so nice. They gave me such a cute table, even though I was dining alone. It's always nice to watch the world go by on a terrace as you enjoy your meal. The sweet candies that come with the bill are delicious. It's a little pricey for Mexican food (25.50€ for 4 tacos) but this is Holland so I'm not going to gripe. If you're craving some really delicious tacos, this is a great place to try in central Amsterdam. They also have lots of really wonderful looking mixed drinks. Try a margarita!

The Food: The homemade nachos are the real deal--super crunchy and clearly house-fried. I highly recommend the pulled pork (The Vondel); the meat is incredibly tender and the toppings are so fresh. One thing to know: the portions are massive! The "half" option is honestly more than enough for one person as a full meal. The Drinks: You can't come here without trying their margaritas. They are perfectly balanced, and they even have a spicy version that is dangerous! I also love that they have a great selection of other cocktails and non-alcoholic options for those not drinking, so everyone in the group is covered. Pro-Tip: It's a small, popular spot with limited seating, so definitely make a reservation if you're planning to visit in the evening. It fills up fast!

More importantly, the nachos are AWESOME. We tried the chili nachos and the pork, and both were delicious. They told us they make the chips in house, and it shows. So much better than the typical Amsterdam nachos. We also loved the queso dip, which is hard to find here. The cocktails were excellent too. I especially loved the coconut daiquiri, but the margarita was great as well. The prices were very reasonable. They said the drink list is seasonal and I can't wait to try out the new drinks. Parakeet is such a gem and I can't wait to return!
