Loved my dinner at this place. Great service, excellent menu, tasty food, slightly uncomfortable seating, surprising ambiance and vibes.

Absolutely recommend trying the food here. They do a great job with the flavours, the meat, even their Mexican coffee!

I expected a expensive dining experience but somehow we were gooooood with a beer each while sharing 9 tacos between us 3. Which made it a very reasonably priced dinner! Desserts are good, the skull candy was such a fun surprise, but could skip if you have done justice to the main dishes :)

Overall, it's worth the hype! Reservations absolutely required.

This place… it’s my absolute favorite restaurant in whole of Amsterdam, and that says something! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, the food is so delicious and fresh and the cocktails are great and varied too!
Yes, it’s a bit on the pricier side. But I think the whole experience, the big portions and the best tacos of Amsterdam make it very much worth it. Great for date night too!
We’re coming back here every few weeks, and it never disappoint. Thanks Bacalar ❤️

Felt like I was visiting an A-list Hipster hole-in-the-wall in Parkdale, Toronto. Don’t let the location or outside appearance fool you.

The food was exceptional, I thoroughly enjoyed all my tacos. Wonderful cocktails. The service was impeccable, well above any standard in Amsterdam. Good vibes on a hot, sticky evening.

One of the favorite food experiences ever in the city. I will certainly return.

This fine place in the north of Amsterdam is situated in an old former garage which gives it it’s industrial looks. There’s even an old gas pump at the entrance. In combination with the altars, candles and Mexican attributes it gets it’s pleasant atmosphere. The cocktails are simply good and the food is very nice. The Dutch
/Belgian chef likes to play with sweet and sour on the side and works from an open kitchen with an industrial touch. The taco’s are small (okay, okay: to share) as are the tables. Although small everything tastes delicious. Salsa’s are spicy but not too hot and there’s a nice variety. The Mexican coffee definitely makes me want to come back.
