Very good service and meal. As a party of 3, we ordered 3 different mains but could have easily been fine with just 2 as portions were large.

Wonderful experience in Amsterdam for anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. We visited this restaurant twice and was throughly impressed with the food and service. The fajitas were perfectly blended and the portion for two people is massive. Great service and easily the best Mexican I’ve found.
