Mr. Haz Amsterdam is named after a famous street artist

Tacos, tacos, tacos! At the new Mexican restaurant Mr. Haz Amsterdam in the heart of the Jordaan, you'll find some seriously delicious bites. A restaurant with a funky yet raw feel; outside, colorful string lights welcome you, and inside, you can't escape the unique street art on the rugged walls and the old-school vintage furniture. And not just any street art, by the way. Spanish street artist (and now friend of owner Carina van der Boom) Mr. Hazelnut flew to the Netherlands especially for the taco bar to decorate the walls with his own hands. Now you can guess what Mr. Haz Amsterdam is named after ;-)

Okay, back to the tacos. Because they're delicious! And homemade, by the way. Coming to Mr. Haz Amsterdam for lunch? Then the taco with honey and chili caramelized bacon, scrambled eggs, feta, and homemade green pesto with carrots (€6) is definitely recommended. Coming for a taco snack in the evening? Then you can choose from meat, fish, or vegetarian, and then, yes, you absolutely must, get the vegetarian option (€5) with caramelized carrots, red mole sauce, pickled carrots and onions, honey, and crispy breadcrumbs. Oh my... Still have room for dessert? Then it's the Choco Taco (€4,5) with melted chocolate, salt flakes, pepper, and cinnamon, or the taco with apple, apricot, and dulche de leche caramel sauce (€5,5)!

Great: Carina has traveled the world to serve the tastiest tacos, and I have to admit, she's certainly succeeded. Bravo!

P.S. You can also bring your laptop to Mr. Haz Amsterdam to work during the day. Coffee and tacos sound pretty good!

Mr. Haz Amsterdam is open every day until 1.00 a.m. and even until 3.00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, making it the perfect midnight snack after a night of partying in the city!
