Cabrón in Oude Pijp

Such an epic find x restaurant aesthetic and staff attentiveness was awesome 🤩 cocktails 🙌🏻 omg the food 🤤 will definitely be back ❤️

I love this place, one of my go to restaurants in Amsterdam. Occasionally can be a bit cramped and loud but generally a great experience. Expensive but it’s a nice occasional treat.

Fantastic experience at Cabron yesterday!! Everything was 10/10 🤩 my personal favorite was the Agua Chile with scallops - it was really an explosion of flavors! Special thanks to Alex for the great service!!

I wish my mouth was big enough to fit the whole quesabirria with consome in 1 go. Leaving the authenticity judgings to others, but the flavours and textures were great. Had a coriander/cillantro jalapeno mocktail specially made for me. The jalapeno is such a fantastic addition, and not even the littlest bit of spice for a no-spice-tolerance-shame-of-the-family asian like me.

The food is really tasty but not value for money.... €15 - 18 for a main and you will still be hungry. On the left €15! Not coming back

had the tacos for two people (paid 21.5 EACH) and it was TERRIBLE!!! What a scam, stay away or dont order the tacos

We had a nice dinner for two. The food was much better than expected and our waiter amazing - she had a great smile, super attitude and very attentive

Had a great meal and drinks in a laid-back, cozy setting. Delicious, beautifully presented and authentic. Service was very nice and attentive. Highly recommend! Ps: don’t miss out on the Michelada and pork tacos.

Nice vibes, staff and food. Also the margaritas were incredible and good tunes.

Food was good but the portions were very small and they charged us a double portion while we ordered single We ordered a make your own taco for 2 people and they gave us for 4, which we only found out after paying because we thought it was a portion for 2. (It’s all in one plate, the amount just increased) The amount of taco’s they give for a portion for 4 is also way too little. When asking for more taco’s they gave us 3 small ones for 3 euro, which also wasn’t sufficient. The amount of guacamole for the totopos were way too little, as well as the size of the croquettes for the price they ask We ordered a quesabirria for almost 20 euro, but it was just a single peace which isn’t even enough to be full Cocktails are also way too expensive for the ambience they created. Prices are as if you are in a premium cocktail bar, but it’s a taco restaurant starting from 14/15 euro. Food overall was good, ambience was nice, but the prices and portions are totally out of contrast and would definitely not go back. They have to increase their portions or decrease their prices We left hungry

Had an excellent meal on our last night in De Pijp. The guy serving was so friendly and helpful, gave us tasters of beer/mezcal when we asked about them. The food was superb, some of the best Mexican food I've had. And great to meet Django, the resident dog 😀

A bit loud but super cozy and tasty!

My favorite Mexican in Amsterdam!! Colorful, tasty, abundant food... Chef Marcos gives it all the vibes

Wonderful experience!! How delicious everything is, many ingredients, balanced, abundant, tasty... What more could you ask for!? Good atmosphere, professional attention, super nice people. I don't understand the bad reviews... Unhappy haters

Too small, too expensive, no taste

It’s expensive and not good quality. It was scam

We loved the tasting menu! It offered three different types of tasty tacos and a meaty interpretation of a quesadilla, plus churros. Vamos 👏

Lovely place, a Mexican Cantina, great vibe, super friendly staff & amazing food, cocktails & tacos muy zabrosos. dogfriendly, mexican music & the best churros. I am fan

Been going here since 2022 and loved it. However, recently the management, prices increased and quality of food/service has gone down dramatically. Very sad that this go to place has turned into something unenjoyable and overpriced… it’s real disappointment 🫠 now I have to go all the way to the West to get good tacos.

I had the tasting menu and it was really delicious also nice cocktails and beers 😍 loved it. Definitely will come back here ❣️

Really liked this place. Very authentic and the food was very tasty and not your stereotypical tacos and nachos type of menu you know... However, I must say that it is a bit expensive for the portions you get so be ready to spena some money if you wanna be full by the end of the meal. The staff were super nice and friendly and always attentive to our needs!

Heel erg goede kwaliteit eten! We hebben de make your own taco’s gegeten. Leuk om zelf aan tafel te maken en heerlijke smaak. We hadden een klein voorgerecht en dit was een goede keuze, want we zaten niet mega vol na het hoofdgerecht.

Closest I’ve had to real Mexican food in Amsterdam and really nice staff!

Really nice atmosphere and super nice service. Compared to many places in the Netherlands this was a really good Mexican spot. The only thing is that It got really busy and there was only one server so the service was delayed. I will definitely go back and highly recommend.

He estado allí muchas veces, irá mucho más Siempre una buena experiencia, el personal muy amable y servicial, la comida deliciosa como siempre.

Perfect place for an evening of Mexican food in Amsterdam. Incredibly hospitable service and they serve delicious food. There is a cozy atmosphere with good music. And in addition to delicious Mescal, they also serve beautiful wines!

The bill was 100 but they charged 150. Only because we checked the bill we saw they charged us 50% (!) more. Absolutely ridiculous. We didn't even get an apology or drink on the house. Wont be eating here again, your staff has no manners and don't even speak dutch. Also: the taco platter for 2 had visible chunks of barely cooked garlic in it. We didn't eat it as it was way over the top.

Food 10, service and atmosphere unbeatable!

Very good service and excellent food.

Great spot with amazing vibes! 🌮 The food was delicious and well-prepared, and the service was super friendly. The only small downside is that I expected it to be spicier, but I guess it’s adjusted for local tastes.

One of the best restaurants I visited in recent times. The tacos are absolutely delicious! I recommended the aubergine Taco which is a flavor bomb in your mouth. Also their spicy margarita is awesome. It's a little pricy for the quantity they serve.

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great Service! Recommend!!!

The service was friendly but the space between the tables were really small. My boyfriend and I had croquetas, 2 portions of tacos and 2 cocktails for 70€. The tacos were really nice but we find that the price for croquetas was very expensive (11€ for 4).

Hicimos el menú degustador para probar algunos de los platos que tienen en el menú. Era una mezcla de carne y opciones vegetarianas. La comida era absolutamente delicioso! Las bebidas eran sabrosas y el personal era cálido y acogedor! 10 / 10 . ¡Podría comer aquí cada semana! < 3

Increíble comida y servicio, los cócteles son geniales y el ambiente y el servicio también. Es mi tercera vez que vengo y siempre he disfrutado. ¡Suficientemente auténtico!

Vriendelijke service, lekker eten, goeie drankkaart, heerlijke sfeer. Wij waren er zondag en het zat vol en ambiance was warm en sfeervol.

I booked with a coupon that they advertized (19€ for a 5 dishes menu). When I walked in and asked about it, they said that they don't provide this service anymore. Instead, they offered the standard 40€ menu. Quite upsetting, we walked away. The coupon also didn't have any expiration day, so it felt quite "sketchy" to not accept it, after just 1 week of booking it. Edit: The owner made up for it. Happy about the quality of food and drinks. Definitely a quality place!

Really amazing service, which is rare in amsterdam. A warm welcome and service throughout the night. Food was good and very affordable. The pork belly dishes are a must try.

We had a 5 dish menu and it was delicious! Everything tastes really good, although it's a fixed menu and won't be able to choose. So we have ordered some extra dishes. It's a small and cosy place, staff is friendly and there is music!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Our waiter was really fun and friendly, and the food was amaaaazing! The decor is really nice as well and it actually smelled like Mexico in there with the open kitchen haha. Will definitely be back!

Menu prices differ from Bill. It's more expensive than on the menu

Good food for a reasonable price. I had the 5 course dinner. Friendly servants. The food is innovative. Many different flavors and combinations. Sometimes the food was just a little too 'special' for me... everyone has their own taste. The music was nice and the interior beautiful. In terms of drinks, there were also plenty of tasty treats

Fantastic find. Wonderful service from very friendly owner. Made kids feel really at home. Food was delicious. Ordered pork belly tacos twice they were so good. Nice margarita. Fantastic meal all round

Best taco place in Amsterdam, Cabron is a funny name. We love taco’s in Mexicocity, the real thing, no Tex-mex. Cabron brings these things to Holland, amazing shrimp and clams cocktail, perfect spicy. Great octopus and the best ever crispy pork. We could eat this every day. The friendly crew knew exactly when we get thirsty and manage great cocktails and beers. Iff there were stars for taco’s Cabron deserves a star. We would recommend to make a reservation. Iff you are Mexican and want to feel at home in Holland go to Cabron.

Kleine porties voor een toch wel behoorlijke prijs. 30 euro voor 6 kleine wraps met een potje vlees en 3 kleine potjes saus en koolsla (waar je eigenlijk maar 2 wraps mee kan beleggen) Niets van guacamole, zure room, salsa,. We bestelden nog een burrito bij die wel heel klein was voor 15 euro We hadden er meer van verwacht.

Amazing taco’s! Nice ambiance and location too :). Definitely recommend and will most likely be back soon to try out more.

Nice and tasty food, BUT the portions are tiny and it's quite expensive for what you eat! If you're hungry I wouldn't recommend.

The food is extremely expensive considering the portions you get. Even though it was tasty, I wish that I could justify paying 15e for 3 small tacos.

Cozy interior and nice vibe. Friendly and prompt staff. Food not special, little choice in terms of tacos, small portion and no flavor explosion. Taco with pork belly had little flavor, the pork belly was fried too crispy. Didn't really match the taco either. Quesedillas also not very special, little taste.

Due to change of menu I was invited to try a sampling of the new menu and it was a delicious experience. The pork belly roast had such a crunch on the outside while the meat was soft en tender on the inside, a job well done! Add to that the creativity of the bar team when I asked for a Mexican cocktail pairing, and I was happy to have visited them for the first time 👍🏽

They serve fresh, flavorful, and well-crafted Mexican dishes. Great variety of teas to choose from. 📝 Despite being packed, the service was impressively quick and attentive. 💰 Affordable prices and traditional deals. A must-visit for authentic, satisfying Mexican cuisine!

This is perhaps the warmest, most wonderful mexican-oriented restaurant I have visited in the city. With a homey atmosphere, genuine kind service, incredible food to share (the quesadillas being probably our highlight), it made my girlfriend’s birthday a great celebration. Highly recommended!

I had exactly the same experience! I tried to get the voucher via Instagram 10 days ago because it didn't work via email! Today they finally responded to my message and said that this menu was not €19 but €29 and that they couldn't replace the pork with anything else! Very unprofessional and unaccommodating. They lure customers with offers and then it ends differently! I wasn't able to try the dishes but this approach is not what I would expect from a good restaurant!

Delicious food and super nice staff, which also makes it fun. Review by Nils (10 years)

Not only do they serve original and authentic, finger licking good Mexican food, they also offer a great family feel. And don’t even get me started on their tequilas and mezcals 🤤

Very nice tacos. Lighting must be improved. Make sure to try the corn.

Loved the vibe and the food. Had a small variatie platter, and loved all the versions that got offered. Would go here again :)

Best Mexican food and Mezcala. 10/10.

The best thing is the quality of the meat and the waiters are nice...however, we left the place still hungry and just the two of us paid a total of €97... Too expensive for what they offer.

Great little Mexican restaurant. We loved the nachos and tacos prepared by Markos and fab cocktails made by Pedro. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere but gets busy, so best to make a reservation.

The staff couldn’t care less about the visitors, the cocktails were terrible, and we couldn’t drink them because they were too spicy. Nobody offered us anything else or asked if we wanted to order food – they simply didn’t care at all. The staff was chatting among themselves and eating, completely ignoring the guests. 0 out of 5.

Cozy and cute place :) the food was really good and the staff were friendly!

The service was super attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The ambience was warm and inviting too.

I had the Cabrón Tasting Menu, and it was a total win! For just 19 euros, we got to try three types of tacos, a quesadilla, and a chocolate-filled churro to top it off. The tacos ranged from the tender carnitas with pineapple, a crispy fish taco with a nice aji mayo kick, to a unique aubergine barbacoa. The quesadilla with beef stew was super flavorful, and I couldn’t get enough of the rich, cheesy filling paired with the consomé. To end the meal, the churro was perfectly crispy with a gooey chocolate center. Hands down, one of the best Mexican food spots I’ve found in Amsterdam, especially for the price!

This restaurant offers an alternative to Mexican food. Very taste options. The staff is friendly. The location is great!

We are our dinner with a lot of pleasure. The taco’s were amazing, especially the birria taco’s! We also really enjoyed out cocktails, the paloma and mescal.

Avondje taco’s eten. Waren niet de beste perse. Ruimte is wel erg rumoerig waardoor we snel overprikkeld waren omdat iedereen luid praat/schreeuwt

Great experience. Good portion sizes and delicious food. Especially the churros were incredible. The service was also great!

Tasteless meat, quite bad margaritas. Pretty cold space

Best Mexican food i’ve had in Amsterdam!!

Located in De Pijp, this restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere, though it’s on the smaller side—so I recommend making a reservation in advance. While the music can be a bit loud, the staff kept us informed about a slight delay in service, which helped manage expectations. The food is enjoyable, though I find the prices to be a bit on the higher side.

I wandered in here during a soccer game because I was bored and I heard cheering. It was the best night of my vacation! Armando was very friendly and they let me twist balloon animals just for fun! I'm from Texas and i recommend their Mexican food!!!

Really amazing taco’s the best i had in amsterdam, well filled and very tasty . I Recommend :)

The taco’s and salsas are probably the best I’ve had in Amsterdam

The atmosphere is spot-on, transporting you straight to Mexico. Their margaritas are top-notch, and the micheladas are seriously impressive. 🍹 The tacos are the real deal. Birria tacos pack a flavorful punch, while the Baja fish tacos are crispy perfection. Don't miss out on the croquettes - a clever Mexican-Dutch fusion that totally works. Every dish is not only Instagram-worthy but tastes even better than it looks. Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable for the quality. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the great experience.

Good is very good, but service could be a little bit better.. The waiter didn't know much about the menu, we ordered two mescal and got three(also paid for three). Ceviche was great, tacos could be more flavorful, but we're still good too..

Unfortunately, we did not have a very good experience: we let them know of our allergies in the reservation and also asked the waitress to confirm when receiving our order. Despite this, our night and our toilet were ruined. The staff was friendly, but gave a rather inexperienced impression. The cocktails were not good (not interesting and not tasty) and very expensive for what you get. On the plus side, the atmosphere is quite nice, and the tacos are tasty.

Super cute and friendly service, really good experience ✨ I thought the place was a bit more touristy before hand, but the food is actually delicious… Slightly more on the expensive side, but worth it for a special occasion or a treat-day

Very nice food and cocktails in a bubbly neighborhood. Also very affordable als lovely staf. Would definitely recommend.

We got three 5-course menus and the were amazing! Cocktails were pretty yummy too, we even got a tequila shot in the house!

Ik ga elke maand met een vriendin uiteten bij een taco restaurant . We zijn op zoek naar de beste taco van amsterdam. Op dit moment staat carbon op de eerste plek. Super gezellige setting,lieve en leuke service (de jongen zij dat dit z'n 2e dag was, niks van gemerkt). We hadden ook een magerita besteld. Super lekker goede zoutrand en niet te waterig. Ik kom zeker terug. Heb carbon meteen aangeraden aan mijn vrienden.

Food was good and nice environment! Service is very fast and people kind. Maybe portions should be little bigger for the price

Was the perfect spot for Friday date night. Fun vibe, good food and delicious drinks. Would recommend the birriadilla!

If I die and go to heaven, the quesadilla chicken is waiting there for me.

Delicious food, friendly staff and nice (although a bit loud) atmosphere! Will be back soon & recommend to everyone visiting Albert Cuyp

Very tasty authentic Mexican food! I recommend the vegetarian quisedilla and birria tacos. Lots of flavour! It's a shame that the music was so loud and it made it difficult to talk.

Excellent food, everything was so authentic and delicious! Everything was 10/10 Ps: order bloody maria, it was so good! The tacos and all appetizers were so good. Service was fast and attentive.

EXCELLENT COFFEE. Super tasty. 💯

Super delicious food. Lovely and fast service. Super recommended without a doubt!

We went here for first time with the tasting menu voucher and we absolutely loved it! Cabron is one of the best Latin American restaurants I’ve had in Amsterdam. Their birria was absolutely delicious and the tacos selected as well. Also loved the cozy vibe and the enthusiastic staff. We will be back for sure

I had a taste menu and I was gladly surprised with the selection. All 4 main-dish options were delicious. The filled-in churros for dessert toppe it of. I ordered a margarita to go with it. I was a disappointed at first try, being a Mexican restaurant, too bland, but when I mentioned it to the girl caj she quickly topped it of. I think i will come back.

Food is so good, fresh and full of flavour, I’d definitely recommend the churros for desert, they are so nice. The service is also great, the waiter and what I presume to be the owner were very attentive, they put a table outside for us. Me and my gf love coming here especially for the margaritas

We had the 19€ tasting menu and it was really flavorful! Definitely a good offer considering the regular menu is on the pricy side. They also accommodated vegans and vegetarians. It's a bit noisy indoor but we got a sunny table outside. Great service too :)

I recently came across a promotional ad on Instagram for a discounted meal at this restaurant. The offer looked appealing, so I subscribed to receive the coupon. However, after doing some research and seeing the restaurant’s Google ratings, I realized it didn’t align with the kind of places I usually enjoy dining at. I decided to unsubscribe from their mailing list, expecting that to be the end of it. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Despite unsubscribing, I continued to receive relentless emails reminding me about the coupon’s expiration. I even took the extra step of writing to them directly to explain the situation, hoping they would respect my request to stop sending emails. But to this day, I am still being spammed with their emails, which has been incredibly frustrating. I would caution others about engaging with their promotions. Not only did I lose interest in visiting the restaurant, but their disregard for my preferences and privacy has also been a major turn-off. A simple unsubscribe should have sufficed, but it seems that this establishment either doesn’t care or is unable to manage their email list properly. I won't be recommending this place to anyone.

Very friendly service, delicious food and great cocktails ❤️

Great quantity, great food (fresh nacho chips, you almost never see that in NL!!) and great birria flavour!

My friends and I had a true Mexican taste without flying to Mexico 😍 The food, Armando and his staff and the vibes were excellent. We will come back for sure!

Very nice tent! The Quesedilla was really amazing

Ordered drinks which arrived quite quickly and then waited 30+ minutes until someone came by to take our order... staff walked past us quite often. In the end I left, which is a shame

Delicious food! Had a tasting menu. They work hard, one in the kitchen and one in the service. Fortunately, the wait wasn't too bad. We will definitely come back
