Our now go to Mexican place for us in Amsterdam, their fajitas burritos are the perfect meal for us. Very customizable, the fajita burritos have grill vegetables instead of rice, and can be ordered as a bowl. The bowl version comes with 2 tasty soft corn tortillas. My personal fav is the steak one, while the hubby likes their tempeh version. We order it as takeout, and it comes perfectly packaged in a paper box ready for enjoyment read more

I wish I could give 0 stars We went to have a steak burrito and the steak itself was chewy When we complained about it the cook gave us an attitude about it as if we were trying to get free food In the opposite we paid for food and got this thing that can't be good and I get it but the service was terrible Never stepping in this place again read more

After at least 6 check ins here (and more orders I'm sure)! This place deserves an upgrade to 5-stars. It is our go to takeaway treat (& I don't make a bad beef burrito myself) because it ticks all the boxes for consistent good quality, taste, value of money, generous portions, quick delivery and pleasant service. Next time, we will venture out to the restaurant to tell them we are fans face to face ;) read more

I think the other reviews pretty much sum up how good it is. I like this place because I really get the sense of how fresh most the ingredients are which you see in the sauces and salsas. I would love to see some pico de gallo and guac in the dishes though. Anyway my tips: Liquados: try the mango one! I could guzzle that by the liter. Not too sweet, just right. Tostada veggie: when I first ordered this I did a triple take -- what is this pile o lettuce?! What is this salad? I was puzzled and maybe even a bit angry, but I have to say after trying it, it became my green eggs and ham and now I order it every time. It's delish! Burrito ranchero: not a big burrito fan in general so my main tip here is sauce-wise watch out if you're sensitive to spicy. I usually go for medium, but that was still way hot for me. To be safe step down and then you can always add. Huevos rancheros: this is really good. Wish it had pico and guac though. The bottom tostada is what makes it with a great crunch. Fish taco: I was super excited to see this on the menu, but I have to say I was disappointed by the actual fish. Maybe it was the day, but tasted bland and overlooked and I would guess that it was previously frozen salmon. However, when you eat it with all the lettuce, sauce and taco it's all easily disguised as ok. Still, you should be able to appreciate the components that make the whole and I can't say that fish gets any stars. Overall though, this is still our go-to joint and anytime we're nearby the park we always hit it up! read more

If there is a better burrito in Amsterdam, I haven't found it yet, and I have really tried them all. The menu expands beyond burritos but I can't quite get past my fixation for them yet. I have tried a taco, salad and some guacamole though. As far as the burrito goes, there is a good balance of veggies, beans, cheese and meat of course if you'd have it. I can't complain about the flavor and always have a smile on my face once I take a bite. It is almost becoming a weekly obsession. It seems the menu at the restaurant has more than the website menu does. They also have delivery service available which I have used. I do have a complaint about the delivery though because they have forgot some small things twice now. I called once and the next time they gave me free dessert so still have good customer service. This is the best in my opinion so give it a try by either heading in or ordering out. read more

Tomatillo - Interior - Mexican Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I was pleased to discover that they knew what gluten is and how it could easily be avoided there. I opted for chicken tostadas on corn tortillas. For about a tenner, I got two hearty tostadas topped with black beans, chicken, cheese and a dressed lettuce on top. It came with a side of tortilla chips and a choice of salsa - pico de gallo for me. It was a pretty big meal! The beans tasted faintly of cinnamon, which a bit odd. I ended up knocking the lettuce off the two tostadas, topping it with the salsa and eating it as a salad on the side. The food probably merits three stars, but the fourth is for helping to assure I had a safe, gluten free meal. Also, it's just around the corner from Vondelpark. read more

Tomatillo - Chicken tostadas, pico de gallo - Mexican Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

As a U.S. expat who has spent his life in Texas and Colorado, the prospect of living somewhere without access to good Mexican food made me sob uncontrollably for close to four weeks. At the conclusion of this crying, I moved to Amsterdam and eventually discovered Tomatillo, which made my former tears transform to gleeful spasms. This place is legit. Their burritos will burrow into your heart, putting up soothing wallpaper there and making themselves at home. Crazy tasty, lots of options, very friendly staff. The only downside is that you will wait quite a bit for your food. Contrasted to the rapid-fire service of U.S. standards like Chipotle and Qdoba, it was a little perplexing as to why it would take so long to slap together a burrito. But that seems to be normal for the Netherlands. Regardless, when the burrito they deliver is oh-so fine, I'm happy to wait a bit longer. read more

I wrote this review with a heavy heart. Nothing comes close to "real" tex mex- do not let the other reviews fool you. But this is the most acceptable burritos in Amsterdam, and they are delicious in their own way way- just do not expect real Texmex. The most disappointing part is the salsas. The ingredients are fresh, but sadly even the "hot" salsas seem to be watered down for the local taste. This hits the spot if you're craving burrito, but if you're craving spicy you might be a bit disappointed. read more

Exactly what I was looking for! As an expat from the American southwest, I've been on a search for my nostalgic burrito, and this place hit the nail on the head! That said, I must admit that my burrito taste is a bit non-traditional (I prefer fajita burritos w/o beans), but rest assured, this place is great. The location could be better - at least for me - but if you're anywhere near Vondelpark it's very close by. The inside is small and cozy and appropriately decorated. There's room for maybe 12-15 seats, so if it's crowded, take it to go. This place must be frequented by expats because when I was there all 8 people inside were speaking English with a familiar American accent. The menu is a nice size, and while I miss just composing my own burrito cafeteria style, the fajita burrito w/o beans is exactly what I needed to fulfill the burrito-sized hole in my life. If you've had a Chipotle burrito and liked it - this place is perfect for you. It was, simply put, exactly the burrito I'm used to from home. So, in my book, it's perfect, but maybe not the jesus of burritos for everyone. Unlike the California Burrito Company in the Jordaan, this place was NOT out of beer, so I was happy to wash down my burrito with a Corona and some corn chips (which tasted almost half-stale, but certainly edible, just a little chewy and not as crisp as I would prefer). Service was pleasant and timely, food was fresh and delicious. I will most definitely be frequenting this place form now on. read more

Top level mexican cuisine at very reasonable prices, best Ive had in Holland and I lived in Los Angeles, so I'm choosy about Mexican food. The location is very convenient on Overtoom, a main arterial street heading South out of Amsterdam uptown. Staff is very professional and helpful as well. read more

EXCELLENT. wow. i've been dying in this culinary wasteland that's the netherlands, but i'm happy i found this place. +5 stars for the food, but -1 star for the lack of seating. i had to take my food to go. also, the portion sizes for meat were kinda paltry, but i think that's a problem i've had at a lot of restaurants out here. too bad, the flank steak was prepared pretty well. read more

Best burritos in Amsterdam BY FAR! Very high end, inventive, thoughtful and not grease, for the educated foodie. This is not your typical tex-mex greaser with a heart attack in a burrito, so if you're expecting that you will be disappointed. But, if you have any taste for quality you will appreciate the extreme level of thought and attention put into every step of the burrito making process, from all organic meats and (for the most part) ingredients to the extra nutritious rice, the authentic fresh tortillas and the magical and inventive salsas of the month. The chef clearly loves what he does and the passion is evidenced by the extremely loyal and quickly expanding fan base. I've been going there since it opened for my burrito fix and still can't get enough. read more

Tomatillo - Breakfast - Mexican Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Burrito-licious. This place was pretty damn good but not quite 5 stars for me. The chicken was so meaty-delicious I thought I had the wrong burrito for a minute but I did find it a bit under-seasoned. I got it 'Tomatillo style', which means smothered in sauce and melted cheese. I'm sure for certain combos, this works great but after tasting the burrito, I feel the filling inside would have been better off au-natural - without the sauce on the outside - not like that stopped me from devouring this beast though! Like Arnold said... I'll be back... read more

In California this would be a 3 star review for this kind of mexican restaurant. But since this is Amsterdam I will have to give it a 5 star review. Home made tortillas - yes thank you! It was tasty, and so far the best Mexican restaurant in Amsterdam. Edit: actually I am editing my previous 5 star review and bump it down to a four star review. Why? Well it is very simple. They do not put any salsa in the burrito. No veggies, no salsa, only rice, cheese, beans and meat. Why do they even ask what kind of salsa you want in the burrito if they don't put any into it? There is some kind of tiny hint of a sauce, but no salsa. read more

Hands down- best burritos in town! Maybe even the only! It might not stand to your dinner out expectations but it will blow your mind as a take away! Don't hesitate, order a burrito from them!!! read more

Yum! Were this in the states, it would be a solid, above-average burrito joint with fresh ingredients. As it's located abroad in Europe, the zombie wasteland of spiced meat and veg in edible cylinders, it gets a rousing 5.0. read more

It's the closest thing to taqueria style Mexican. The steak is my favorite meat choice. Even though the tacos have lettuce on it, it still works. It doesn't bother me, maybe because the filling is so good? And they use two corn tortillas, the way it's suppose to be done. For not being in the states, I give this place 5 stars. I'm a fan. Oh and they have great customer service:) read more

4 stars on Yelp = "Yay! I'm a fan." and that's precisely correct. Their burritos are beautiful. The tortilla is wrapped around the heart of the goodness tightly, encasing a FRESH array of ingredients. Black beans, tasty rice, great guac, a trio of cheeses...lovely concoction. The salsas are damn good! I had spicy and mild and damn did the spicy have a kick to it! I appreciate the freshness and the bursting of flavors. This is some serious tex mex and really absolutely NO complaints here! Oh, and they deliver. Say hello to savory, lazy Sundays! read more

So I'm from California and grew up on Mexican food and have spent quite a bit of time around Tex-Mex as well. If you don't know what Mexican food is, you'll think this place is great. If you do know Mexican food, you will be disappointed. But I will say, this is probably the best burrito in town alongside salsa shop. 3 stars as I would really love something a bit more authentic and because the carnitas here are cut up into little cubes rather than pulled. read more

While Taco Shop is my Mexican food comfort stop, this is where I go for fancy gourmet Mexican food. Or when the Taco Shop is closed. The burrito I ordered was a perfect little package that still smelled of the grill and had nice little grill marks *on the outside* of the burrito. Whatevs, it was weird, but it smelled great. It was smaller than a Taco Shop burrito, so I could actually finish it in one sitting, instead of having to save 20% for later or risk my stomach exploding. (It's a dilemma for me every time!) The flavors are more complex than a Taco Shop burrito - it was salty! it was sweet! it was savory!, but the ingredients list is much shorter and lacks obvious veggies. And rice and beans in the burrito come by default. It's annoying to have filler like that in a burrito, but it still tasted great. The downsides - their "large guacamole" is a small cup of guacamole. How can that be a large?! Does the small come in a thimble?! I also ordered extra guacamole in the burrito itself and instead of getting a nice guacamole ooze coming out of the top of the burrito while eating, I detected a slight green tint in the burrito occasionally. I was so sad. I *need* guacamole. Why do you people torment me so?! Also, I ordered salsa in the burrito and hardly tasted it, and had no visual confirmation of its existence. It is possible that it blended in with the other flavors, however. And it's a minor point, but the tortilla chips were cold, and the Taco Shop delivers warm toasty tortilla chips. The Taco Shop also delivers to my zip code, whereas this place does not. But when the Taco Shop breaks my heart by being closed, this place is a decent substitute. read more

The chef hails from Great Falls, Montana with a stop in Bozeman, Montana .... home of some of the best burritos in the Rockies!! He makes amazing salsas and the meat is seasoned perfectly with portions on the scale of a typical west coast style burrito. Aside from the food which is excellent, the ambiance and cleanliness of the storefront is noticable as you walk in the door and are welcomed by a huge smile from the cashier as well as the staff that are working in the open kitchen in the rear. The plan is to open a couple more shops in the coming months as well as some mobile catering. This cannot happen soon enough as far as I am concerned. read more

Great Tex-Mex food at reasonable prices and conveniently located. We enjoyed the fish taco, veggie fajita burrito, and chips & salsa (tomatillo and pico de gallo). Very friendly and attentive service, clean place. Will definitely become regulars here, as I want to try the huevos rancheros with 2 organic eggs for 6 euro. read more

The best vegi burrito in Amsterdam! Being from SoCal via The South where tex-mex rools, great tex-mex was the one thing I missed when I moved to Amsterdam. Not anymore! This place is as good as any in in SoCal and better than most. Their chips are homemade: nice and thin and warm. Guacamole is perfect, though a bit pricey for the amount, but their chipotle salsa is the best. I always buy extra and freeze to use when I'm making fish tacos at home. And they deliver. Only drawbacks are their selection of drinks are lacking, and their atmo is more fast-foody than gezillig, but we usually opt for home delivery, so who cares. read more

Being from Southern California, maybe I'll be to hard about the food. Ok burrito. Good flavor, but lacking other things in the burrito. Pretty basic, beans/rice/cheese/meat/salsa. Ok but not great. read more

The best. No need to say any more but I will anyway. My all time favorite burrito worldwide...ever. Think about the best chipotle burrito you've ever had and then double how good that was and you have almost reached Tomatillo's level of greatness. read more

Really, I'd give it 3.5 stars. And I plan to try their breakfast burrito, which could easily move them into 4 star territory. I had the chicken burrito. It comes with black beans, cheese, rice and salsa. I requested no rice or cheese, and for a lot of salsa and extra guacamole to be added. I'd like to point out that they were very friendly and gave no attitude about my special requests. My burrito was huge, with a ton of beans and almost no chicken or salsa, and no guacamole. I went back and requested salsa and guac, which made it better, but it was basically a giant black bean burrito. I bet that for people who get and like rice and cheese this is pretty good. My bf got the fajita burrito which he liked, and he noticed someone else had it grilled which would have made it better, and which he will do next time. The salsas were good and fresh, as were the juice and guac. The staff was friendly. Better than a lot of Ams Mex food. I'll give a final report after I try the breakfast burrito. read more

This was the worst burrito veggie I ever had: just a wrap filled with only black beans. No guacamole, union, sweet potato and the like. I called them to ask for a solution, but they didn't wanna solve the inconvenience. So unfortunately the meal has been a very expensive can of just beans. read more

Seriously, only one other review?! Points to the sad state of Mexican food in Amsterdam. Best salsa you will find, hands down. And unlike all the other places, they actually make their guacamole. From avocados. I know, crazy. Guacamole is like sushi, you can't make it in a factory and sell It in a supermarket. I only have two issues holding me back from the full 5 stars but they are by no means deal breakers: Just be forewarned: the beans have cinnamon. It is the strangest combo ever for me to wrap my head around and I don't like it, but I've forced myself to acquire the taste. I've gone no beans on occasion but that just isn't right either, I need the full experience. The cheese is far too dutch to taste good in a burrito and so I usually always leave it out and achieve a greater relationship with authenticy. Other than that, it is best as a take away spot as the tables are very limited, but it's possible to eat there, even if sometimes you need a little patience to snag a table. As a lover of all things salsa and the spicier the better, for me the real power of this place is just that. read more

Tomatillo has the best Mexican food in Amsterdam and friendly service to go along with it. Love getting their delivery service.

After moving to Amsterdam from the US this was the first place I attempted to get a Mexican food fix. I went for lunch and got the Carnitas Burrito. If available, I get carnitas when I first try a new Mexican place, it's what I measure Mexican restaurants by. Well, it didn't measure up. I didn't like the sauces, the meat wasn't flavorful, I sadly ended up throwing half the burrito away. Definitely would not return. read more

Real Mexican, super knowledgable owner, excellent service and super food.

My husband and I each had chicken burritos tomatillo style. While they were good, I did not think that they were great (I was a bit surprised due to all the five star reviews). The filling wasn't very traditional, as it had a good amount of cooked veggies in it such as diced carrots. Do not expect authentic prices here either lol - our total came to almost 33 Euros for lunch for the two of us (no alcohol). All in all, I would describe the burritos as a Dutch take on a Mexican burrito. read more

As a former US West Coast resident, I am so very thankful for this restaurant. They enable me to get my bi-monthly burrito fix and they use fresh ingredients and organic meat. Their prices are a little steep, but their burritos are HUGE. I can only finish a whole one if I've skipped meals earlier in the day. I love that their habanero sauce has some nice heat to it too. We usually order delivery since there's not much seating inside their tiny space, but I have been fortunate in the past to get a table a few times. read more

I'm an expat from Vancouver, Canada. I ordered the Tostada biologische kip + chipotle salsa. It was quite tasty. It was a delivery and the food wasn't too hot or cold, it was very fresh. The Burrito tomatille style (vegetarisch) + pico de gallo was massive. It came in a box with melted cheese on top. It was like 2 meals. And the extra guacamole is really small. Both meals were definitely not precooked or out of the box. Best part was that it's' easy on the stomach, which is rare for Mexican food. read more

Was really nice to have some real tortilla chips and a real tortilla. The grocery store bought tortillas and chips are garbage. Other than that, the food was alright. The salsas were disappointing and tasted like they came pre-made out of a jar. I had the carnitas burrito and it was a nice touch with the added cinnamon and the salmon soft taco was aright too but nothing to write home about. Maybe because we had delivery and although it came quickly, it was all pretty cold when it arrived so we weren't all that impressed. Maybe better when served fresh at the restaurant. read more

Love this place! The quesadillas, tacos, and tostadas (and burritos) are yum! Ive ordered delivery here and one time pick up. Super friendly staff and great fresh food.
