14 of the best tacos in Amsterdam can be found here

Calle Ocho: At Calle Ocho on the Albert Cuyp Market, the menu changes weekly, but one thing's for sure: delicious tacos are always on the menu. With ground meat, fish, or other variations. And at Calle Ocho, you simply have to have a cocktail with your tacos. Open weekdays until 03:00 AM, ¡Qué bueno!

Chiapas Taco Cartel: Chiapas is one of those good taquerias, and it shows. Everything here is spot on. Besides delicious tacos, the menu also features other Mexican street food, like burritos. But it's not just the street food that's delicious here; the interior is too. Can we take that purple wall and stone floor home with us, please?

Louie Louie: The guys at Louie Louie—you know, the ones behind Bukowski, the Beer Garden, and Smokin' Barrels—have nailed it again. Louie Louie is a wonderfully hip hangout where the modern interior has a touch of South American influence. And that's reflected in the menu. You can choose from tacos with chicken, beef, and salt cod, as well as other snacks. Yum!

Taqueria Taco BarWhen I say avocado fries, tortilla chips, and guacamole to go with your fish, pork, beef, chicken, or vegetarian taco, does your mouth water? At Taquería Tacobar, it's all about tacos, and the icing on the cake is their delicious cocktails. And a nice bonus: it's affordable too!

Mexico Boulevard: On Rijnstraat, you'll find a true Mexican oasis: Mexico Boulevard. All dishes are prepared according to the Mexican slow food recipe. And the result: delicious dishes like tacos with marinated arrachera.

CriterionTaco Tuesday! They have it at Kriterion every Tuesday between 6 and 9:30. Best Coast Taqueria is making tacos that evening for just two euros each. Cheap and delicious, too. And don't forget to catch a movie at Kriterion afterward.

Salsa Shop: One that definitely shouldn't be missing from this list, because Yourlbb's Anne is a big fan: the Salsa Shop. This is the place to go for the tastiest takeout Mexican gourmet fast food. You can create your own tacos and burritos, and everything is made with fresh ingredients. Now in addition to De Pijp and Centrum, they're also opening in Centraal Station!

Bar Bra: Not a true taqueria, but they've definitely mastered the art of tacos at Bar Bra. Every Tuesday, they celebrate Taco Tuesday. Fiesta! The tacos are made by the best chefs, who specialize in the most delicious tacos. So, Tuesday at Bra.

Los Pilones: With locations in the Leidsebuurt, Jordaan, Nieuwmarkt, and Kerkstraat, Los Pilones tacos are well-represented in Amsterdam's city center. I find the Jordaan location the most charming, but the one in Nieuwmarkt has since been dubbed the true taquería of the four. Wherever you go, the margarita punch card is valid!

Cafe StruikEating tacos at a cafe? Yes, you can! Because at Cafe Struik, they're hosting a Taco Tuesday with tacos for just two euros. And they also have vegetarian and vegan options for those who like them.

Tomatillo: Another takeout gem you shouldn't miss. Tomatillo delivers the best tacos in town, right to your door. Besides tacos, they also have a wide selection of quesadillas, burritos, tostadas, and fajitas. And yes, they all taste equally good!

Rose's Cantina: At Rose's Cantina, there's no Taco Tuesday, but Margarita Monday. Works for us too! And of course, you can order a delicious taco with it – vegetarian, meat, or the weekly changing option. Not in the mood for tacos? They also have delicious ceviches and enchiladas on the menu!

CT Coffee & CoconutsThis isn't just a great spot for a coffee; it's also a great place for lunch and dinner. And they also have a taco on the lunch menu, a Kogi BBQ taco. We want to try that!

Taco MundoThis taco chain has several locations in Amsterdam. And if you look at the menu, it becomes difficult to order because there's so much on it! Tacos, nachos, burgers, quesadillas, and so on.
