MASMAIS

MasMais Taqueria is located in Amsterdam-West. For their latest venture, the owners visited Mexico several times, where they were blown away by the incredible seafood, excellent cocktails, and pleasant atmosphere. They agreed wholeheartedly: such a concept was missing in Amsterdam. Since then, MasMais Taqueria has focused on fish, and their Taqueria on tacos like you'd only find in Mexico.

FIONA

Right in the city center, on Warmoesstraat, you'll find Fiona: a Mexican restaurant where tacos take center stage. Inspired by chef Zahie Téllez, you'll find tacos with bold flavors, with both vegetarian and meat options on the menu. Taco Tuesday is a great reason to stop by. On Tuesdays, you get two tacos and a cocktail for €24, including a margarita.

OAXACA

At Oaxaca, you'll taste tacos just like you would in Mexico. No Americanized versions, but dishes that stay true to their origins. One of the menu's must-try dishes is the Ensenada-style soft-shell crab taco: crispy, light, and full of flavor, just like you'd find on the Baja California coast. Oaxaca demonstrates how versatile Mexican tacos can be, adding a strong, authentic touch to Amsterdam's taco scene.

TACO LINDO

We understand the foodies: it is indeed worth waiting in line for a taco like the one from Taco Lindo on the Albert Cuyp. Good news for those who prefer a seat, because Taco Lindo recently opened a second location in Amsterdam-West.

Tacos La Sinaloense

At Tacos La Sinaloense, the tacos are made with handmade tortillas and rich, slow-cooked Mexican stews. The best part: you create your own taco. From fresh toppings to extra salsa and a generous amount of spice if you like. You'll find this spot on both the Ten Katemarkt like the Albert Cuyp Market.

Taco Teca 

Anyone walking through the Ten Katemarkt can often smell it from a distance. Taco Teca is one of those stalls you'll want to stop by: for the tacos and the atmosphere. Expect freshly prepared tacos with generous toppings, tons of flavor, and just the right balance between street food and comfort food. Add to that the cheerful, super-friendly team and a good dose of music, and you'll understand why this is one of the market's most vibrant spots. Perfect for a quick lunch that feels like a mini fiesta.

COBA TAQUERIA

My personal favorite is Coba Taqueria in Amsterdam Noord, where tacos are taken to the next level. Feel instantly transported to Mexico (cacti, small stools, and colorful rugs included) and savor the art of taco making. Do yourself a favor and order as many different tacos and cocktails as possible. Ouch, caramba!

Louie Louie

Louie Louie isn't your typical taco spot, but one of its best-kept secrets is that it serves some seriously delicious tacos. This relaxed hangout boasts a modern interior with subtle South American influences and a menu packed with street food. For taco lovers, the Carnitas soft tacos are a must: two soft tortillas filled with pulled pork, chipotle, onion, salsa roja, and fresh cucumber. Comfort food that perfectly complements the laid-back atmosphere of this place.

CATUABAR

Catuabar is truly a hidden gem in EastThis laid-back cocktail bar is overflowing with good vibes. Think Brazilian bossa nova in the background, a menu full of surprising, creative dishes that pair perfectly with cocktails. The menu is small but well-thought-out, with influences from all over the world, from Latin America to South Africa, and changes regularly. Catuabar is open late, so it can get quite busy even late on a Saturday evening. And in the summer? Then you can sit outside on the intimate terrace by the facade.

CAMINO

Camino Taqueria Amsterdam distinguishes itself from other taco restaurants with its focus on LA tacos. You get the idea, they have a certain twist. The team behind Camino has been doing this for years, by the way; they previously served these dishes under the banners Best Coast Taqueria and Flora Amsterdam. After a few pop-ups, it's now time for a permanent spot in West.

With the arrival of Lupe at the end of last year, Bos en Lommer has a new Mexican restaurant. At this unique South American hotspot in Amsterdam-West, you can enjoy authentic Mexican dishes during the week. And on weekends, as the icing on the cake, they serve an extensive brunch.

At Madre on Westerstraat, it's all about plant-based Mexican dishes with tons of flavor, and that's reflected in the tacos.
