    I don't normally drink, but chose a frozen strawberry margarita. It was delicious. Enough alcohol to have me feeling tipsy. The mason jar it was served in was charming. I ordered steak tacos. Keep in mind these are what Californians call street tacos. I paid 4 euro to add cheese which was a complete waste of money. Just a light drizzle of what I consider watered down sour cream. The tacos were otherwise tasty. I had the mildest salsa, which was verde. It added just enough punch and the tacos were better for it. Service was good. There is some outside seating facing the walking street. I would dine here again.

    The food was very nice, it transported us to Mexico. The servings are normal sized for tacos. The margarita was a little watery but very spicy (which I loved). The atmosphere was so nice, a good picture spot. I loved the outdoor patio too, it was so cute and small which made it so intimate. The waitress was very attentive and she constantly asked us if we were okay, service was great. Overall a good choice as it's one block down from Leidseplein and the area was very picturesque!

    This place is da bomb! Happen to stumble on it ; looking for some late nite eats and drinks. Both we got and of course we were very content. Very busy , but that's a good sign. From the hostess, to the bar tender, to other staff and of course the owners everyone was friendly. Ordered the tacos - three delicious homemade taco shells with deliciousness all inside ; served with sides of salsa... I like medium and the boyfriend opted for the hot sauce. He likes things spicy so he was very pleased. The mango margarita was killer ; loved how the bartender put brown sugar around the rim. First time I had it and loved it. We loved the tacos so much we ordered more. Never thought we would find some excellent authentic tacos here in Europe. By golly we will be back !!

    Delicious food with a very welcoming atmosphere. This is a must try if you want a good Mexican meal.

    I went here for my 21st birthday on vacation. The tacos and strawberry margarita were delicious. The portions are sort of small and expensive for the size. The service is also pretty slow. There is outdoor seating, but the inside is also very cute and well decorated. Not a bad meal if you are willing to dine and spend some money.

    I want to preface this by saying I am Mexican. Moreover I live on the border of Mexico/USA. After over a week in Europe (Paris & Amsterdam) I was missing Mexican food so much! I didn't have high expectations because I'm sure not all ingredients can be imported. I was however happily surprised by this restaurant. It was better than expected and absolutely delicious. Was it completely authentic? Not necessarily but it's as close as you can get on this side of the globe. I highly recommend! Also the cocktails were delicious.

    These are the best tacos I've had in a long time. The serving sizes could be bigger, but worth the price

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.

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!

Could be improved: received potato chips with hot sauce instead of chips and salsa. Very interesting choice.

    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!
