    Bife Chorizo - Entrecôte
    Michelle F.

    Service was wonderful. We loved that we were seated in the outside area for dinner. It was like eating in a cozy backyard garden. We started with an order of the Choriempa Empanadas. A crispy rolled dough stuffed with a sausage type meat. Great dipped in the chimichuri sauce. We ordered the smallest portion size of the Lechon and it was clearly enough for 2-4 people if you share appetizers. We also ordered the Bife Chorizo - Entrecôte. That was ordered medium rare and it was very tender, juicy, and delicious. Definitely the star of the show. The Verduras Mezcladas -Mixed vegetables seasoned with red chimichurri was surprisingly full of fresh garden vegetables in a salsa type sauce with a nice spicy kick. Great accompaniment to any entree. I have eaten here on every visit to Amsterdam because everything has always been perfect.

    Flan - I saw their videos on instagram and was destined to make my reservation

    So lucky to get a reservation in last minute! I was greeted by a lovely girl who put us on to their best dishes. I had a filet mignon -medium rare with a salad and mixed seasoned veggies. The veggies were gone fast They were so well seasoned and had a sauce that was to die for. The octopus (Kraken) had luscious flavor and good texture to it. I ordered a pitcher of sangria and being that I love wine of all types, this was the best sangria I've ever had. The ambience of the place was so relaxing. Candlelit dinner with a beautiful red rose sat so elegantly in the tables. We were the only ones there for a good hour before guests started making their way through. Price is good and service was excellent.

    Great food

    What a nice birthday dinner! Sabatian was a fantastic waiter. The grilled octopus was the BEST I've ever had! The steaks were all very tender! I'll definitely come back!

    They have a cute outdoor patio you can sit in but I'd recommend sitting inside. It's much larger than you'd expect. The drinks are delicious. Food wise I'd stick to steak. That's what they are known for. I tried their poor dish which wasn't bad but it was not my favorite.

    Went here for a steak dinner. The food was excellent and portion size was good. If you are getting a starter choose the cheese sticks!!! - amazing Service was a little slow and we got seated by a greeter at door and didn't get given menus or drinks for another 30 minutes. When we ordered our drinks they forgot our 2nd beer and water so only brought us out 1 drink. Ambiance was very nice - candle lit tables inside and a beautiful outdoor area if you wanted to sit outside. There was an issue with our order and we received a second lot of our starter when we didn't order them which made our mains take a while to come out. However, the wait was worth it as the steaks were delicious. One downside is they don't serve potato fries they serve "healthy" fries which were very crunchy and didn't quite hit the same.

    Came here based on a recommendation from our hotel and all of the good reviews - make sure to book reservations in advance. Here's what we ordered: - Empanadas (very good) - Quesailla (okay) - Tequeños (okay) - Elote (good) -Lechón (pig) (okay, ordered too large a serving - Kraken (octopus) (good) - Arroz de Campo (rice with chorizo, raisins and beans) (okay) Service here was excellent, our server and everyone else we encountered went out of their way which was appreciated. Would give it another try and opt for some red meat dishes next time (in lieu of the pork and octopus).

    We stumbled across this restaurant from a recommendation from a local. His recommendation was spot on great! Salmuera is an Argentinian based restaurant with a Netherlands twist. There is a whole variety of ceviches, empanadas and various other small plates. Everything our group ordered was delicious. The fried cauliflower was my personal favorite and it was coated in a teriyaki base marinade/batter. My cocktail was spot on what I ordered and wanted--the restaurant has a vast menu of craft cocktails, so there is something for everyone. I will definitely recommend Salmuera to travelers in Amsterdam and I'll go back when I visit again. Might I add that the vibe and decor is very cute and can see it being a great date night spot as well. Also, Simone was our waitress and she was very pleasant and friendly! She have solid recs from the menu!

    Food was outstanding! Service was impeccable! All served up in an excellent environment. We were celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. Candlelight made it extra special. Do not pass on the cauliflower. So good!!

    We came here with an Argentinian co-worker who knows his beef. Got to pick a cut of beef to be prepared for the table, and enjoyed it a lot. Excellent place, and staff. Do not hesitate to ask questions.

    The reviews led me astray on this one. I thought I saw vegan or vegetarian options on the menu but they all ended up being bite-size appetizers. I'm grateful they had something but nothing makes me more bummed than having to order appetizers for dinner, I want a meal! The finger cheese quesadilla was good and the patatas were also very good.(I did leave hungry though but that just meant more room for treats as we explored the city!) It was very busy and we didn't have reservations but the host sat us very quickly regardless. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food, ceviche and chicken wings were ordered, they loved them. The prices were reasonable and the service was good for being a busy night.

    This restaurant is excellent. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. The food is amazing (I recommend the rib eye) and they have a LOT of bar menu choices. The prices are great for the quality. All round awesome!!!

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!

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!

    If you are looking great Mexican-inspired comfort food in Amsterdam, Parakeet is a absolute gem…read more It's tucked away in Oud-West near the Foodhallen and has such a cozy, lively vibe. 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! Great food, big portions, and even better drinks. I'll be back for sure!

My friends and I chatted with the owners, who have loved Amsterdam for years and dreamed of moving here to open a restaurant. It is obvious they put a lot of heart into this place, which manages to be both uber hip and inviting. Also their dog Lucy is just the sweetest and is happy to welcome you at the door. 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!
