    Came here for lunch and it was pretty quiet but the chef was very welcoming and we were quickly…read moreseated. The decor and aesthetic are pretty casual and we didn't need a reservation. 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. Overall since this place is local to me and the service was so friendly, I'd definitely come back and make this my go to for Mexican in my neighborhood.

    Cool, hole in the wall place we picked from the reviews and the menu choices. Right off the bat it…read morehad an authentic vibe. wood floors, mexican inspired furniture and interesting decor. 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!

    Such an adorable Mexican restaurant on the quiet but central Kerkstraat. Authentic and stylish…read moreMexican decor inside. I ran in here to escape the rain and was surprised by how nice and dry the intimate covered terrace is; a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a meal. I didn't get wet at all. They also have plenty of nice seating inside. Ordered the Carnitas Tacos and they were really good! You get 4 tacos with an order. My first time having tacos in Holland. 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!

    First the good: enchiladas verdes were excellent. Very nice tangy flavor and chicken was fresh and…read moretender. Could be improved: received potato chips with hot sauce instead of chips and salsa. Very interesting choice. Price was extremely high but that is too be expected for the busy tourist areas in Amsterdam. You won't be disappointed by the food may have shell shock when you receive the bill.

    I am on the fence with them, it's between a 2 and 3 star. They are definitely not even close to…read morebeing the Original California Burrito Company. Their tacos and burritos are far from California or Mexican. However, I will give them another shot at some point to see if they even qualify for a 3 star, but I know one thing is that they are definitely not close to the real thing. I would suggest this spot if you are looking for good service, something fast and ok to eat or looking for a quick inexpensive meal. For the Gluten-free folkes you can order a corn taco to replace the burrito taco.

    Not bad, but still deciding…read more As an American expat in Amsterdam and a fan of Chipotle-esque, cafeteria-style, foil-wrapped burrito joints, I had high hopes for The Original California Burrito Company. I've been here nearly 3 years and have yet to find a suitable substitute for my burrito love, but this place may have moved into the top position on my "next best thing" list. I ordered the "Original" burrito, the top item on the menu, but (huge caveat) I prefer my burritos bean free (blasphemy, I know). The burrito was nice and large, the same size that you'd find at a Chipotle in the States. This is an improvement over other burritos I've found here. The wrap was warm and soft, another plus. However, the ingredients, while delicious, were not warm. They were cold, even? This may be because the storefront has no door - it's open to the street, and the cafeteria-style ingredients are then subject to the cold Amsterdam air. The temperature of the ingredients - which in my case was pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole, grilled chicken, spicy sauce and rice - is my only major complaint. I had mine spicy, which - while not eye watering - was at a healthy level. It was very gooey with cheese and runny with sauce toward the bottom - but nothing I'm not used to with foil-wrapped burritos. The guacamole seemed lumped at one spot in the middle. I would have liked to see it spread around a bit more. They offer some unique sodas, brand colas, bottled water and Corona. I asked for a Corona but they were out, so I had a soda. Fine, whatever, but a Corona would have been nice. My burrito came with a handful of chips, which was a nice garnish, but nothing more. The establishment itself is pretty small, even for Amsterdam. There's maybe room for 15 people to sit either at a table or at a stool along the wall, and thankfully the place was relatively empty when I went there at 8:30pm on a Thursday. Take-away might be a good idea. The location is pretty good, in the south Jordaan not far from Dam Square. Staff was nice, and asked me if I enjoyed my burrito after finishing - a nice touch in a region of the world not known for warm customer service :) Verdict time: I give it 3 stars because while I enjoyed it, the ingredients were cold, but that could easily be remedied and make this a 4. But I'll definitely be returning!
