Agabi Santa Maria in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

Excellent food, good meat, excellent value for money. The lady in the dining room is super nice, and the chef is a bit too chatty, which might bother some, but I found him nice. The only downside was seeing such a place practically empty. Maybe that was the only downside.

From start to finish, everything was impeccable. We will be back with pleasure.

We found this restaurant after a boat tour while looking for lunch. Absolutely delicious, fresh food and the most wonderful owners. We were more than impressed. Highly recommend!

Good people, taste food, great vibes. Authentic and atmospheric restaurant 😋

We had a lovely meal here as a group of four. We had steaks and chicken fajitas, both dishes were delicious. A lovely couple seem to run the restaurant and they were superb hosts. The restaurant is in a great setting, close to the main thoroughfare, it was a delight to enjoy the sun and some great food!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable family experience. From the moment you walk in, you are not treated like customers but like guests in someone's home. The warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality of this lovely husband-and-wife team make the place feel truly special. The food was delicious, prepared with care and passion, and every detail reflected love and dedication. You can feel the family spirit in every dish and every smile. A place where you arrive as visitors and leave feeling like friends. We will definitely be back. ❤️🏡🍷

Delicious steak and a lovely server from Egypt 😊 I'd gladly come again and highly recommend it 🥰

I tried the ribeye steak and they cooked it exceptionally well. As an Argentinian, I can say it was cooked to perfection. Furthermore, the service was excellent; it makes you want to come back!

Really delicious, super nice people

We visited this place on the evening of June 17 to try their food and drinks. There were two of us, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was the most excellent. We will definitely be coming back! -Vasili

Very quiet on a Sunday evening May rate 5* when busier Run by a charming couple

The waiters were lovely and the nachos I ordered were super good!

We had a fantastic dinner here. The service was great. The steak in particular was delicious. Good value for money. Would definitely come back on a future trip

Great experience! Good food and kind service. Friendly and very nice! Highly recommend!

Excellent steaks. Good service. A very decent restaurant.

Very tasty food. We ordered steaks. Good service, everything was prepared quickly.

Our meal was sensational, delicious nachos, best steak ever & lovely service! Highly recommend, thankyou!

The restaurant had a really relaxed atmosphere and the food was delicious. The couple who work there were very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The food was excellent and the portions were perfect. We highly recommend the mojitos and the nachos with a variety of dips! We'll definitely be back next time <3

Really good Food, very respectfull service

Excellent cuisine, very kind owners! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Excellent food, very kind staff

Very nice Mexican restaurant. Very personal. Had a delicious meal. The beef nachos as a starter were delicious and plentiful. The main course (sirloin steak) was perfectly prepared and good music was playing. All in all, a pleasant evening out for dinner!

Very good restaurant, very kind and welcoming staff.

Incredibly nice people! Had a delicious meal and a beautiful location.

A friendly welcome, a wonderful meal. The beef tenderloin was delicious ☺️

Welcoming place, excellent quality food....the owners, husband and wife, are very friendly and kind.

Had a delicious steak and the staff were extremely friendly. Highly recommended!

Had a delicious beef tenderloin, it was a real treat…. Nice staff members. Highly recommended!!!!

Great service !! Great food. Thank you very much ❤️

We had a drink on the terrace here and then ate inside before attending a performance at the Kleine Komedie. Great in every respect! The price seems a bit high, but it includes drinks on the terrace before we went to eat! The music is a bit loud, but not disturbing.

Excellent service! Great service, the food was delicious, I highly recommend the steak, which was cooked exactly as I ordered it! Thank you so much!

The food? Absolutely incredible — chef’s kiss!! The ambiance was perfection, and the owners were beyond gracious. Truly such a welcoming vibe. I can’t recommend this place enough — there’s something for everyone, even the picky eaters! The drinks? SO good. Run, don’t walk. I swear I’d eat here every single day if we lived here! I’d share photos… but we devoured everything 😅 I had the grilled salmon, my husband ordered the Steak Poco Loco, and our son had a massive, delicious dish that didn’t stand a chance either! We highly recommend!

Thank you so much, you are very friendly people and your food is excellent. Good burrito

Excellent steaks and very nice and helpful staff ! Thank you

Good God. This place is truly awful. The staff are friendly, but the food astonisingly bad. Jwrk chicken has no flavour and has been cooked so it is just a load of black bones. The place is dirty and is a complete rip off.

Chicken is highly recommended/fries need to be changed, dear people

Wonderful service. Great food and awesome atmosphere. Family, date, and traveler friendly. Good price The location is supper easy access.

A nice little Mexican restaurant opposite the opera house. Warm and delicious.

Very nice and friendly hosts. The food was delicious and freshly prepared.

Had a super delicious meal and super friendly service - 5 stars well deserved!

Had a delicious meal in the sunshine and great service!

We were here on New Year's Eve. The place was very welcoming and clean. The owners are two wonderful and knowledgeable people, who immediately greeted us with a smile and great kindness. Excellent, high-quality food. The price was more than fair. A wonderful experience!

We stumbled in here. No reservation, no problem. One chef and one waitress, even though the place was fairly full. No panic or stress. Everything went smoothly, and the food was excellent. It's a shame the tables are sooo close together.

Amazing service, drinks and food, we even got a complimentary dessert for the birthday boy! 10/10 :)

Excellent meat. Friendly and very pleasant service. I'm giving this type of restaurant 5 stars because it's not fine dining. But it's still very good if you're looking for a simple dish and a suitable atmosphere. Impeccable music from the 70s and 80s.

It was veeeeryy goood! The food was delicious!🤗

The ambience is calm and welcoming, the kind of place you instantly want to settle into. The Argentinean steak? Absolute chef’s kiss, perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and genuinely memorable. The tacos were bursting with flavour, and honestly, every dish hit the mark. On top of that, the waitress was warm and friendly, which tied the whole experience together perfectly. Highly recommended and easy to get to from Waterlooplein station.

The food was excellent: the nachos were delightful (perfectly baked chips with a flavorful melted cheese that was exactly what I was hoping for) and the steak was sublime. The pepper sauce was an excellent pair with the steak, not necessary, but a tasty addition. We were so happy that we choose to eat here - loved everything we had.

We so enjoyed our dinner here. Amazing fajita and steak, exactly what we needed after a day of travelling and the staff were amazing. Thank you!

The food was delicious and the atmosphere and staff were very nice. We will be back again!

Delicious and plentiful dishes, the lady serving was super kind and very nice! Much better than all the other semi-Argentine steakhouses in Amsterdam, highly recommended :)

Super nice people!! Delicious food.

Great food, especially the steak!

Super friendly service. Nice pace between courses and delicious food.

Bonita !! We came to this restaurant after finishing the festival of light tour and it was the best ! The service was lovely, they were so sweet and the food was great !! Huuuge burrito and I was very full. Had amazing flavour and worth the price for sure too. Loved it !!

Last Thursday, we went to a performance of the Dutch National Opera and enjoyed a delicious South American meal and a refreshing beer at Santa Maria restaurant beforehand. It was reasonably priced, with excellent value for money and friendly, personal service from the owner and his wife. We highly recommend it and will definitely return. On Wednesday, December 10, 1925, we had another delicious meal at Santa Maria. We received a very warm welcome from the chef and his wife. The personal attention they give their guests makes you feel at home.

The steak was beautiful very tender

A very welcoming restaurant and lovely customers.

We stumbled upon this place by chance. We were pleasantly surprised by dinner last night. I wasn't expecting much from the meat, but we ordered the Lomo Ranchero and it was truly delicious. Both the atmosphere and the service were very friendly.

Excellent place, good service and good food

Great people, good service, good dinner. He booked me a taxi from the restaurant to go to an event.

The food is excellent. The meals are well-prepared, and the service is very good. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the view, as well as the staff's spontaneity and attentiveness.

The best place to eat we've tried in Amsterdam, it's a shame it was on our last night. The service was spectacular; a very kind and professional lady and gentleman (the chef) made us feel right at home. The quality of the meat is excellent, and as a Spaniard, finding a place where the meat is up to par is difficult, but they far exceeded our expectations. You can tell they put a lot of care and attention into the way they cook and treat their customers. Highly recommended for its quality and value. We'll definitely be back if we have the chance 🧡🤗

We went for dinner tonight and stumbled upon the restaurant by chance, as it's near our accommodation. All the meat was delicious, flavorful, and incredibly tender... the potatoes and wine were excellent too, everything was perfect. The owner and the chef were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and is very peaceful and relaxing, ideal for a pleasant dinner. It's a shame we discovered it on our last day, but I'll definitely be back. ❤️😋

Everything was great. Highly recommended.

Very nice owners who cook themselves! This is not chain crap for tourists. It's cozy and tasty! And the prices are lower than competitors. If for you a good dinner is steak with wine, then this is the place for you!

I stumbled upon this café while out for a walk and decided to pop in. What a pleasant surprise! The coffee was top-notch and came with a small piece of chocolate. The service was polite and genuinely friendly. The decor was simple yet stylish, with lots of wood and a rustic feel. The background music was soft and soothing. There was a calm, almost homey atmosphere. Everything was spotless and well-organized. The prices were surprisingly low for the quality. I stayed longer than planned, simply because it was so pleasant. A place I will definitely return to.

We happened in to this Argentinian restaurant and we’re not disappointed. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Check it out!

Fantastic steak, wish I had got the bigger size. Peppercorn sauce was delicious. Partner really enjoyed the fajitas, and all the sides that came with were flavoursome.

The food and service were excellent. I haven't had such a good steak and mushroom sauce in a long time.

Really good quality food, and lovely staff. Spoke really good english and made us feel welcome

Deliciously tender meat. Very friendly staff.

I had the most fabulous meal here with friends. We stumbled upon it by accident and were pleasantly surprised with how wonderful it was. There were 8 of us and everyone cleared their plates. Highly recommend. Loved it!!!

Delicious food, fantastic welcome & service. A great experience, thank you!

Great service from Ameni and amazing food❤️

Wonderful staff and really good food! Would recommend🥰

The steak at Sirloin is delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and has a unique South American feel. The staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Amsterdam!

The store clerk is very kind and the prices are reasonable.

Steak was really fresh and delicios . Waiter very proffesional

Very friendly service and good food. I recommend it.

I tried a traditional fajitas dish named Comida Santa Maria. It was delicious, well seasoned and with super tender beef strips and flour tortillas. The service was fantastic. The location is very convenient specially for who goes to the Nationale Opera and Ballet. I would certainly come back.

We were staying nearby, and we decided to go in. It was a pleasant surprise; the meat was very good, cooked to perfection, and the service from the couple was top-notch. I highly recommend the place.

We have just enjoyed a really delicious meal at Agabi Santa Maria. Had a generous Margherita to start and then both enjoyed a large meal of fajitas and enchiladas which were yummy and catered for gluten free needs. Meal was freshly cooked and very generous in size. The service was faultless and would highly recommend.

The food was fantastic, the entrecote was absolutely fantastic. We'll definitely be back.

Delicious food, good price, and conveniently close to Carré. I arrived a bit late because it was busy, so I called and asked if it was okay to arrive late and be ready for Carré in time, and yes, it was perfectly fine, ready on time.

Had a delicious meal yesterday: sparring and burritos. Fresh, well-seasoned, tender, and delicious. Friendly staff, great service. Highly recommended.

I had the buritto and it was one of the best restaurant foods ive ever had. Food was amazing. Service was super kind. And I LOVED the ambiente. Highly recommend this place!!

Excelent food. Delicious meat. I recommend it a lot.

really nice restaurant, very nicely done steaks and senior lady who was serving our table was very friendly, polite and good. I definitely recommend trying this place. music and the vibe in general is comfortable and easy going.

A wonderful small mexican-argentinian restaurant! Perfect!

We happened to come across this place. We had a delicious meal and a great margarita cocktail :) And the staff was super friendly! We'll definitely be back again (or more)!

Most amazing Meat we ever had, we got what we ordered and it was amazing. Service was perfect and it was really Authentic Argentinian Meat would recommend it 100000%!

Super friendly staff and delicious food! Definitely recommended.

very nice owners and excellent food

I love it! Food was great, and they were so lovely!

I had an fajita and my girlfriend had the grilled chicken breast, it was very delicious and the service lady was super nice. I will definitly come back.

The location Is very good and very welcoming and the food Is tasty and delicious, suggested.

This restaurant is highly recommended. The food was delicious. Everything was freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The cocktails are also delicious. The service staff is attentive and polite. I don't understand the many negative reviews. There are many restaurants downtown that lure in customers with low prices and correspondingly poor food. I spent a wonderful evening here with good food.

Great borito and sparribs!!! Wonderfull owners!!!

Excellent atmosphere, very good food
