Bacalar

Bacalar is the taco hotspot in Amsterdam-Noord and the personal creation of a former Coba chef. Expect arguably the best tacos in the city here, with favorites like the taco with pulpo, rib tacos, and creative tostadas. The unpretentious, windowless interior is reminiscent of Roberta's in Bushwick, and in good weather, you can sit on the small terrace. Open Thursday through Sunday, and also for lunch on weekends.
