I’m from Mexico and I can truly say this food is real Mexican and Latino food! Everything was wonderful! The Ceviche Mixto was te best, but also try the Birria Tacos and for dessert they have a magnificent chocolate tamal!… 5 out of 5

Latin heaven in Amsterdam! 🌮🔥 Flavor packed dishes, the tacos are perfectly seasoned, the pulp and ceviche are awesome! and the guacamole is on point. 🤤 The staff that treats you like familia. Definitely a must-visit in Amsterdam! 🌶️❤️🫶🏻

I wouldn’t believe any review that calls this place anything short of perfect. Food is absolutely fantastic, especially the ceviche is unabashedly in your face and delicious. One of the best spots in Amsterdam. Perhaps not the cheapest but worth every cent and more.

Probably the best South American food I’ve had outside South America. The taco plate is absolutely delicious. The pork ribs are exceptional and there own beer on draft is high 8.1% butt addictive. I encourage you to try everything on there menu and beyond. You will have a feast in your belly and mouth.

This place is right next to The Kriterion cinema and is perfect for after-movie bites. We ordered the lamb tacos, everything nachos, and patatas. Food was great, service was awesome. Would definitely return.
