Entrance to Mamarosa

I found this restaurant while walking about Stroget. Oddly, It is an Italian/Mexican restaurant. I had Italian both nights. The carpaccio was pretty good and the service was friendly and reliable. For those who don't speak Danish, no worries: they spoke very good English as in most Copenhagen establishments. The food is good, but the atmosphere is very cozy and on a hot humid summer night, it's fun to sit outside with the rest of Copenhagen. It's dimly lit and the Danish beer (if you're a beer drinker) was superb. Favorite Dish: For the appetizer, I really enjoyed the Carpaccio. If you don't like raw beef, this may not suit you. In that case, the individual pizza dishes are very good too. On a Friday night at around 8pm, reservations were not needed. The service is slow by American standards, but prompt by European standards. Besides, what's the rush? Although the food is not spectacular, it did the job after a long day of walking.

The service was very very very slow and the food was not good at all. It took forever for our waitress to take our order and the food took a long time to come. She also had an attitude and not friendly. I ordered the lunch size spaghetti with meat sauce and it was just a tad warm when I got it. But at that point I didn't want to tell my waitress because god knows how long it would take for me to get my food again. Also the portion was very small, more like a kids size dish. My 8 yr old son ordered a lunch size fish and chips from the regular menu and the portion was just right for him. They don't have tap water so you have to purchase by the bottle. Overall I would not recommend this place...even though the restaurant might look good from the outside. Definitely deceiving.

Not worth the money at all

Me and my company were very hungry after a long day in Copenhagen. Maybe too hungry and too lost in the wind to take our time that evening to find a good spot to have dinner. We were showed down in a little cozy basement of theirs and then we ordered our food. He ordered pasta and I ordered fries with chicken and some sweet chili sauce type of a thing. First of all, we had to wait for a good 45 minutes for the food to arrive. The waitress was cute and kind and all but she seemed to get stressed by a rude man who seemed to be the boss. We also heard other people around us talking about leaving because of the bad food. When we got our food, it was a big disappointment. My sweet potato fries were so few and in the bottom of the little serving tray I found a few "normal" fries (you know those you can buy frozen and fry at home). The chicken was of really bad quality. Dry and chewy. My company's pasta was not homemade but cheap and didn't taste anything. All in all: Low quality, high price and not worth it.

We dined in for dinner since we would like to experience to eat outside in the middle of freezing winter. It was fun time and the foods are great

Do yourself a favour and Do Not Eat Here

Waiter was terrible and rude! Male in his 50's Food was terrible! They charge $3.50 for tap water without telling you They also charged $1.50 for using a credit card but tried to hide in under the table saying every restaurant does this! Not true! Rude rude rude! Just state it's a cash restaurant and if you do pay with card to expect this fee, this would be ok. This restaurant and terrible service gives Copenhagen a bad name!

I thought this was a decent Mexican food place, despite some reviews I had read elsewhere. The house wine was a decent drink, as was my Baileys Coffee and my tacos were tasty. Friendly service.

This is a decent restaurant. The prices are good and the service is nice. The servings could be a little bigger, though. Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuM_3MnfE_o

The service was not good and the food neither. The place and food look more like a tourist spot than in the quality.

Yuca Taco is what I call good street food. There are only two different tacos at the menu, and they…read moreare really simple with just a few ingredients each. I like that - because it really shows that less is more. They both taste amazing, and if you need some more heat, there are sauces on the side, that you can add. The van moves every day, so it's not sure that it's on Stefansgade. One taco is a small snack, and three (for 70 dkk) is a small meal on the run. I don't think that three can count as a dinner, you need something more.

Chasing tacos - that could have been a good movie title…read more ...and it does get better from there. You're very advised to chase this blue truck by following their instagram, facebook, twitter - whatever. They serve good tacos and the man cooking and serving it - he does know his stuff (I've watched him being "interviewed" by some Mexican customers at Torvehallen). I love all the tacos they serve but my favourite must be the spicy sausage one (more like falafel than sausages to me, but hey - I'll eat anything as long as it tastes good)- The vegetarian option is very good too, as a matter of fact, I love them and want them all. Wish I could have a taco subscription or klippekort! That could've been convenient :P

If you like street food and you like multi-international, and want it all in one place, Refshaleøen…read moreis the place for you. This warehouse area was created as a haven for drinking, eating, and music and is quite popular with locals and tourist alike. Reffen is the largest street food market in northern Europe. There are over 35 restaurant stalls run by independent owners, 10 bars and an onsite brewery. The food is relatively inexpensive, and is generally of good quality. The vibe of this place is very lively and there is typically lots of music too. The variety of food is astonishing. We were able to sample food from several stalls and we enjoyed all of it.

Reffen is basically Copenhagen's ultimate hangout spot. I started off with a Weissbier from Reffen…read moreBrewery (pro tip: get one) and honestly, it was so good I considered a second breakfast just to justify another round. The food options here are wild -- you can snack your way across the globe without ever leaving the park. One minute it's tacos, the next it's dumplings, then suddenly you're eating something you can't even pronounce but tastes amazing. The skate park gives it a cool, laid-back energy, and the views by the water are just the cherry on top. Perfect spot to grab a bite, sip a beer, people-watch, and pretend you're way cooler than you actually are. Highly recommend.

I have been on the hunt for GOOD tacos in Denmark/Copenhagen and unfortunately most places lack…read moreflavor. I tried BlueTaco at refshaleøen (Reffen), and it was the first time in Denmark I've had carne asada that actually had flavor! I was a bit skeptical about their Tinga causa again- tacos in Denmark usual dont have flavor specially the ones with chicken, but I actually liked BlueTacos tinga. Their Baja was also good so I'm very happy with my taco experience for once Update: the three tacos in blue/black tortilla were amazing! Try them in Lyngby

Another taco place in town? Why not…read more Copenhagen needs more "ethnic" food and I totally agree with the new development in town. This place, tucked in the basement of Blågårdsgade smells wonderful when you step in. Blue taco? Yes, the tacos are blue, that's because of the blue corn they're making from, giving them a darker hue and make them different from any other taco places in town. The place is small and there are only small tables with benches, but that's the thing isn't it? Tacos are the kind of food you eat to go, or when the weather allowed, sit outside on the benches. We ordered the coca cola beef, the Baja california shrimp taco and the cactus veggie cheese taco. All good but I like the shrimp much better! The best part about this place is that they always have vegetarian (and a vegan) menus, that makes life easier from my vegetarian friends who are always left out when having tacos.
