Cabrón in Oude Pijp

Highly recommend ! Great drinks, amazing food, super friendly staff Not the cheapest but well worth it

My husband and I came for dinner at the weekend. The food was delicious and good portion sizes. We had the Baja fish tacos, the chicken enmolada, the queso quesedilla, totopos and the croquettas. Everything was delicious and the service was warm and attentive. A great spot for dinner.

It's expensive but it's SO GOOD. The pork belly and tongue tacos with chipotle sauce... Simply incredible 🤯

Tasty birria tacos. Friendly host.

absolutely insanely good food and mezcal drinks. you cannot miss it when in the hood

Wednesday. Great service from the guy from London and I loved the food. Please sort out your margs. Way too large. 15euros for poor quality tequila. Get better glassware and use proper tequila. Yeah it’s less in a serve but it will taste better and you ain’t going to have a hangover the next day

Very good Mexican restaurant ! The waiters are very nice! I recommend it 100%

Super hospitable and sweet people, delicious cocktails (spicy margarita💃🏼) and a cozy atmosphere! Muchas gracias

Excellent service. Mexican flavor. I loved it!

Super service, nice hostess (Sandy) who gave us good advice, and a lovely atmosphere! Plus, the food was super, full of flavor!

Terrible experience, they wanted to charge €1 to my pregnant wife for using the bathroom, cero empathy. Don't go to this tourist trap.

Lovely cafe, friendly staff and service

Best tacos i had out of Mexico,even better of a lot of restaurants in Mexico, real Mexican owner

The food was amazing! I was so scared to try the beef tongue but it was so delicious and the cocktails were gourgess and well made. The cozy interior was nice and the guy serving was really sweet and polite

Hands down the best guacamole I’ve ever had The people are so friendly and warm. I’d go back in time again and again to come and eat here. 10/10 would recommend

Terrible experience. Insane prices for very small not filled tacos, that do not have much taste. Bar tenders were drunk at the end. Took almost 20-30mins for a few beers to arrive, and also for all rounds after that. Also didnt even get some tap water. Cocktail was sprinkled with chili powder, which is a nice idea but your whole hand and arm are with powder. 2/5 stars because cocktail tasted nice.

There is a lot to love here. The hot salsa they make fresh is always delicious. The totopos (nacho chips) are crispy and firm, top-notch! The tacos are a real treat. The green margarita is great! The staff is so sweet and helpful too. Definitely recommended for a delicious treat.

Nice, quiet little place with good food! Unfortunately, we received a very high bill. The guy said, "Oh right, I noticed it was that high," but hadn't checked it. When I pointed out that "caviar" was listed on the receipt for 70 euros, which we hadn't eaten, he said very quickly, "That happens to me often, I'll take it off." It felt like a scam. If you pay attention to this when settling the bill, it's otherwise really nice :)

Good place. There was a live DJ with great music

The food was good, and I had a nice meal. But prices are steep (20 euros for 3 tacos, 6-7 euros for a (soft) drink), and the food is not as tasty as you get in LUPE or Bacalar for example. Also I was a bit disappointed that the menu on the website was not up to date, since they listed some things I was excited about, but they had since changed the menu.

Best experience we had in a long time in Amsterdam! Delicious and an amazing vibe here

I tried three dishes: esmolada de pollo, beef tongue tacos, and quessabirria, and I seriously can't choose which one was the best. Very unique flavors, surprising. Excellent.

Music WAY too loud even on a random Saturday afternoon. Impossible to even stay inside without my ears hurting. The music can be heard from hundreds of meters away in the street. I don't know how the neighbors can live with this.

As a regular and avid fan of Mexican food, I have to say I was very surprised by this little place. I can honestly say that after trying many renowned Mexican restaurants in Amsterdam, this is where I've had the best tacos. We ordered the ceviche, which was delicious. The freshly made tortilla chips are unique. There are places that serve little more than Doritos, but here you can really taste the quality. The staff is fantastic. The location is unbeatable. It has definitely become our favorite Mexican restaurant (yes, after only one visit). It's true that the atmosphere is a bit noisy, but it's a place frequented by young people, who are generally louder, and there's little the restaurant can do to prevent it.

The food was delicious and the service was great but as an Amsterdam local I believe we have lost the plot. And it’s time to push back to these insane places that think they can upcharge so much. We got the set menu for 45€ per person and the food we got for that price was ridiculously small portions …. I was in disbelief every time a plate was getting to us honestly. At the end of the night what I ate was 2 teeny tiny croquettes, 3 spoonfuls of ceviche, 2 small tacos, 1 tostada and 2 churros… sorry but this is just insane for 45€… and the price didn’t even include any drinks so u have to pay even more than that I will not be coming back and I will not recommend this to anyone else, if anything I would discourage people from eating there Can we go back to normal prices for people to eat out in Amsterdam? The photos are what u get when u order the 45€ menu, one for each person

It was delicious, especially the enmolada de pollo was amazing

All in all, a fantastic experience. The homemade purple corn nachos were delicious, along with the fresh guacamole. The ceviche was probably the best I've ever had. It had everything, from crunchy things to buttery-soft fresh fish. One downside in winter is that if your lips are dry and cracked, you can feel the lemon juice burning, but it's absolutely worth it! The tacos were also amazing and well-filled! The lengua (tongue) is highly recommended, but the mushroom one was also fantastic. There were two of us and we shared everything so we could try a bit of everything. And besides, the mezcal is so much better than the regular tequila you knock back at the pub! The staff was also super friendly, helpful, and pleasant. It was my first time at Cabron after always wanting to go, and I'll definitely be back!

Best Mexican place in Amsterdam!!

It was my 68th birthday. After visiting the Stedelijk Museum and the mind-blowing and dazzlingly beautiful art of Erwin Olaf, we headed to Albert Cuypstraat for a delicious meal at this restaurant. "Everything you do in the first five minutes determines the experience you're about to have." They certainly understood that here. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table. The man was also witty, helpful, and all at the right moments. He had a great sense of timing. The tacos were fantastic, especially the one with crunchy pork belly. For dessert, I ordered the ceviche. The best decision of the (birthday) day. It was incredibly delicious. This restaurant is highly recommended on a snowy Sunday evening. A lovely atmosphere in the city. On the way back, on the escalator on the North-South metro line, we looked at a young woman's derriere. "Juicy," it said in silver buttons. My thoughts drifted back to Cabrón, to those amazing tacos. They were juicy.

Super nice place with very friendly staff. Try the house tequila

Great food, great drinks, great service. Was a super pleasant experience

The food here is soooooo good! Such a combo of zingy freshness and delicious umami meatiness! But the churros... I reckon the best I've had! And they're lovely, go here!

Poor and inauthentic margaritas for €15. The tacos were equally inauthentic. We ordered the same dish for two people and received a plate with three sauces, six mini tacos, and a bowl of meat. The limes served with it were simply stale and completely tasteless. Mexican cuisine has so much to offer, but this was a real disappointment and a total rip-off in terms of value for money. €72, a bad mood, and an empty stomach.

We had our team dinner at Cabron last night with 20 people, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. What truly stood out was the team. They were incredibly helpful, flexible, and attentive, handling a large group effortlessly and with a great attitude. You could really feel that they care about their guests and take pride in delivering genuine hospitality. A special thank you to Dani, Alex, and the rest of the team for hosting us so well. A fantastic place for group dinners and team events, highly recommended.

Excellent service, delicious Mexican food, highly recommended

Delicious tacos, nice and friendly staff and owner. Will be back to explore more of the menu!

Spectacular food - great hosts making you feel 250% welcome - great atmosphere! Will come here more often!

Excellent service, very attentive. The place is relaxed, and the food is delicious! 10 out of 10

I wanted some real mexican food and drinks, and this turned out to be really close to when I was in Mexico for vacation. Great food, nice flavours and nice seinks as well. Service was also pretty fast and kind. Recommended!

The food was delicious, would go back!

Great food! The host I very nice as well and creates a fun ambience. The food is very good and the ceviche ( which was not on the menu) was very tasty.

We had a delicious meal here! The host was very kind and sociable. Definitely recommended :)

A hidden gem! Gorgeous place, amazing tacos and super friendly staff. We've been trying a few places for tacos and this is definitely the best so far. Not sure why some people on here are saying it's expensive, it's in line with other Mexican restaurants in Amsterdam and inflation is a thing unfortunately.

A place where it's easy to spend hours in a very welcoming, cheerful, and flavorful atmosphere. Surrounded by soft Mexican music, you'll eat and drink a lot, as the products are of the highest quality. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! Drink the paloma.

Delicious! Great energy, very welcoming and friendly. Food was amazing and the tequila options were smooth.

Good place, good food and nice atmosphere. Prices are a bit expensive for the sizes of the portions and service was good, but need to be a bit more attentive.

It was ok, I prefer the Tacos 🌮 with corn.

Excelente lugar para ir si te gusta la comida mexicana. La comida era deliciosa y las bebidas eran buenas. Incluso durante una noche ajetreada, el camarero se tomó el tiempo para bromear con los clientes de una manera buena y divertida, y mantuvo el Servicio durante toda la noche. Realmente recomiendo este lugar!

Siempre un restaurante perfecto y el anfitrión / camarero es extremadamente encantador! La comida es increíble y las bebidas perfectas

A new entry in my top 3 Mexican restaurants in Amsterdam. Relaxed, friendly, and fast service. And delicious food!

Pricey but absolutely excellent.

Via de voucher binnengekomen maar ik zal er zeker nog eens terugkomen. Gezellige tent, zoals je ze in het buitenland ook ziet. Vriendelijke bediening en natuurlijk super lekker gegeten!

Gran menú! Estábamos aquí para una gran promoción que ofrecía un buen valor. Preciosos sabores auténticos y buen Servicio. Volveremos

Fui a Cabron a ver si es verdad que hay un auténtico restaurante mexicano delicioso en Amsterdam y estoy realmente increíble! Los tacos son deliciosos para lamerse los dedos y así los cócteles a base de Tequila o Mezcal 😋

Phenomenal food, phenomenal service. Thanks a lot!!

The food here is excellent! Flavorful, rich, and unique. Not so much Mexican as south of the border mixture. I had three dishes and they were all delicious. Definitely try the mushroom tacos and duck enchiladas. Service was fast & friendly. Photos don’t do it justice, gotta try for yourself!

Had a great meal in Cabrón, The tastes of all the dishes were delicious and surprising well! Will recommend the pork tacos and the cake at the end of the meal.

Good food, excellent service, nice cocktails

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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
