Amsterdam Noord


This cool taqueria serves a small but inspiring menu of tacos, tostadas and quesadillas, alongside tequila-based cocktails, natural wines and fresh juices. The interior features bare concrete with subtle Mexican-inspired touches. You’ll need to order around two plates per person, but what they lack in size they make up for in flavour. Dishes change weekly and are served with homemade salsas.
