Caramba in Jordaan

It's an excellent place with good service, a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere, and very pleasant company.

Favorite Mexican restaurant!! Very good service, delicious food, and good atmosphere 🩷

Perfect tacos and quesadillas. Great service

We come here quite regularly because the food is genuinely delicious, and the atmosphere always feels so warm, cozy, and welcoming. It has that lovely homely feeling where you can relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The staff are always friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even nicer. There are also plenty of vegetarian options, which is a big plus for us, and everything we’ve tried so far has been really tasty and full of flavour. Honestly, this is definitely one of our favourite Mexican restaurants in Amsterdam and, in our opinion, one of the best Mexican places in the city. We always leave happy and already look forward to coming back!

We had a delicious meal, thanks for the service, we will definitely come back with the group! A gem in the Jordaan

Had a fantastic evening at Caramba. Really great cocktails and the food is sublime. The tacos were the best I've come across in Europe. Thanks!

Had a fantastic meal. Tacos and the meat were top-notch!!!!!

What an incredibly nice and good restaurant!! Thank you so much for the lovely evening

Had a delicious meal at Caramba! A cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and above all, very tasty food. Everything was well taken care of and the service was top-notch. A super nice family restaurant.

Had a delicious meal!! Margaritas were superrrr

Had such a delicious meal!! Never been before, but this certainly wasn't the last time! Margaritas were amazing and the tacos too, thanks caramba!

The tacos and the meat are really amazing! Everything was incredibly tasty, fresh, and prepared with great care. We truly enjoyed every bite. The service was also top-notch: friendly, attentive, and pleasant, without being too much.

Delicious meat and the best tacos I have ever eaten, will definitely be back!!

Had a fantastic meal and it was affordable. Tacos, prawns, and lamb chops are highly recommended.

Very nice place. The food is fresh and very tasteful. We enjoyed the quesadila’s and taco’s. The atmosphere is really nice and comfortable. We sat outside on the terrace and were helped quickly. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this lovely place if you’re visiting Amsterdam!

It's fine, portion size is small but cozy place to hang out. Interiors are nice but we enjoyed their outdoor sitting.

There has been a new menu for some time now, which means exactly the same dishes for the same price, only with smaller portions. Where you used to get 4 tacos, you now get 3. The taste and quality are still excellent, but the portions are really very meager. Very disappointing and greedy of the owner.

Come here if you enjoy the taste of store bought salsa and guacamole. On the plus side they do serve free water. Atmosphere: non existent.

Delicious food and super sweet staff!! Margaritas are amazing 🍋‍🟩🍸

We used to come here often back in the day: it used to be a place full of soul and Latin character. They must have changed owners, because we didn't recognize the place anymore. You pay for every little thing separately, and that way things becaome just too expensive for what you get. And what we got was, honestly, just bland. It was very middle of the road in all aspects. The fish was nearly tastless, the lamb was ok-ish but not special, and the guacamole - honestly, for a Mexican restaurant, it was really below standard. I'm sorry about this review because I would love to see the place flourish. But you just feel something has changed.

This was such a nice experience. I went with 4 friends yesterday and we haven’t had this much fun in a restaurant in ages. The staff was really nice, welcoming and great to talk to.

The tacos were really good as well as the service! 😊

On a "liberation day," I picked a restaurant at random and ended up here at Caramba. This didn't split me; a good Margarita with tortilla chips and guacamole to keep me occupied, and Fajitas Tierra y Mar (chicken and shrimp) with two tortillas. It is a mystery to me exactly how to roll this up and eat it, but it works fine with a fork and knife, and it was tasty! Friendly service and a good atmosphere; quite a nice restaurant!

Great Mexican food, the nachos are the best! Very attentive service ☺️

Worthless service and uninterested staff

great outside seating, yummy food and very kind service ☀️

I used to eat the best tacos once a month on Sundays in Westerpark, not knowing that the restaurant was located there. I was in the mood for tacos today, and being so close to home, I ended up at the tastiest in Amsterdam via Google. The wine was good, the atmosphere great. Perfect service and the meat on the taco was top-notch. Thank you!!!

Cheap, good vibes, friendly, not too loud

Everything was delicious. We ordered the tacos twice, which were really good. The empanadas and the ribeye were also delicious. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area. Thanks 🙏🏻

Very bad attention for the turist

I came here to eat for the first time and it was a really good choice! It was so delicious that I will definitely be coming back more often. I had the steak and it was truly perfect, especially with the caramelized onions. Wow! Definitely recommended for a meal.

Great staff and a fantastic atmosphere. From delicious sandwiches to amazing meals. See the photos and judge for yourself how delicious my meal was.

We had a wonderful meal at Caramba restaurant in Amsterdam! The burritos are highly recommended! The service was also fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, making it easy to linger. In short: a great place with delicious food. We'll definitely be back! 🌯✨

Nice, laidback Mexican restaurant with an Argentinian owner. I have been here several times. Cocktails are tasty and affordable.

AMAZING RESTAURANT!!! I’ve been here twice; the first time I fell in love with the food immediately. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed ourselves immensely; we sat at the table drooling 😍 The service was top-notch, very friendly people!! The second time, I came all the way from Rotterdam and they were closed!! My girlfriend and I felt so bad about it; we were really upset about it, and it showed on our faces. Then a very nice gentleman came out and told us that they were closed that day because of renovations. When I told him that I had come all the way from Rotterdam purely for the food, he immediately said, "Come inside, I’ll make something for you!!" I sat there with my mouth open; I thought it was so, so, so sweet, and I appreciate it extremely. That is what you call true hospitality. Not because he had to, but because he wanted to. The food was delicious, and the warmth with which we were received made it extra special. You will love coming back here. This is a man who works from the heart, and that deserves to be rewarded!

My partner and I had a delicious (halal) meal! Great service and a lovely atmosphere! Thank you! We'll definitely be back.

The most delicious Mexican dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed them on Christmas Eve.

Delicious meal, friendly and fast service!! An incredible evening, thank you, you're the best!!

Fantastic!! Very cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and service was super. They sang for my birthday 5 times and we got several snacks & drinks on the house, thank you so much! Had a super birthday, will definitely come back here again :)

Worst service ever! The waiters are inexperienced (they look underage), forgot the order twice, forgot cutlery/ napkins and didn’t even apologise. The people behind the bar are quite rude and the food is just average.

Always go there to celebrate anniversaries. We are a loud bunch🤣 but we are always welcomed gladly. The service is top notch. Food on point the salad dressing is a must! delicious and also foods for the vegetarians 💪🏾

the food is really amazing and delicious the tacos , the ampanada , the ribeye sandwich and the nachos thank you so much for the food and the amazing and kind service

Love the food, people, armosphere is more local but lovely. Caramba Combo 🎉

Good food! Great for a chill date. Just wish they had more option for lunch.

Nicely decorated restaurant, friendly service. Food quality varies; enchiladas are good, chicken fajitas are mediocre. Side dishes like rice, beans, and salsa are nonexistent, except for a salad with the enchiladas. You have to order anything else separately. Overall, it's quite pricey.

The tacos were delicious and juicy. One of the best things I've ever eaten!

Came here yesterday for the first time and ordered the chicken fajitas and the beef burrito. Both were okay, but in my opinion lacked flavour and quality. The price point is very expensive for the standard of the food. My fajitas were €24.50 for 3 small tortillas and chicken. The burrito was €25. Service was friendly and fast but I don’t think I’ll be back.

Wow,that was exceptionally rude waiter. Been living in Amsterdam 12 years and this was in top 5 worst service I received. The menu said quesadillas so we asked how much is the portion and the waiter got very agitated and said: What do you want? That I tell you in grams?...while we just wanted to know if it was 1,2 or 3 pieces of quesadilla. When we said that he's been rude, he said we'll then you can leave, which we then did, he literally smiled as we walked away. Very weird behaviour. He had dark hair and broken tooth/teeth.

Food was really good and tasty! The people who worked there were really kind. We even got a free tequila shot and extra food. ❤️

One of the better authentic Mexican restaurants in the Netherlands! There aren't that many over here so I really appreciate this place.

Thank you so much for this terrible experience.

This place used to be great, but clearly many things have changed. The food is extremely cheap in taste (but expensive in the bill!), expect burnt nachos and no flavour. In the photos you can see what they serve as “pico de gallo” (supposed to be tomatoes and onions as main ingredients, literally just onions here), and my fajitas, which tasted like they were drenched in bbq sauce VS the Mexican spices you would expect. I’ve had better food in gas station bars. Staff could not care less.

We also came here regularly 3 years ago but not anymore due to moving. Now we were in Amsterdam and thought we would have a nice meal at Caramba. Unfortunately a big disappointment Staff speaks very poor Dutch. We ordered 2 starters only got 1. Immediately asked where the 2nd was he had not given it took 10 minutes. We did not find that a problem second course came after 10 minutes. We had not finished it yet or the main course was there with which we ordered fries twice. Unfortunately we got baked potato while we ordered fries. Bizarre that staff speaks so poor Dutch or English. We recommend eating somewhere else

Food differs every time. Nice workers. Uncomfy chairs

Nice terrace in the sun. Looks very cozy. Pleasant service, good food. Just like a very small vacation for a few hours!!

I've been there in january in solo, and it's the best mexicain Food i ever had, i wish you could send me the recipe Of your beef tacos. I'm still dreaming about it 🤩

I'm from the US, and this is the best Mexican food I've had. Seriously good.

Disappointing experience! Food is very mediocre and lacks proper flavor. Some staff are very friendly and some are ancient and not interested at all. The restaurant lacks proper glasses for the drinks they serve. All in all a place to avoid. We could have known, knowing it was one of the only restaurants that had plenty of availability last minute for a Saturday evening.

It's Saturday night and one of the few restaurants with availability... let's have some nice Mexican food. I honestly wonder if this restaurant wants to be a restaurant. Top place, it looked cozy despite some overdue maintenance and it was clean. I was the first to enter, they almost shocked me that I had made a reservation. A Margarita should get things going. You get a meager mini long drink glass for €11.- glass is old. Drink muah. The dishes were loveless, no herbs, there were supposed to be vegetables with it but only chicken on a tray with 4 shrimps (the dish was chicken-shrimp-vegetable-tortillas) for €26.- with trays of sour cream, salsa and guacamole (for an additional charge) One dip and it's gone. Very meager. The service was not bad, one had more passion than the other. I could appreciate the young man with the earring as well as the Spanish-speaking young man. My company and I like to eat and are all catering tigers but this was not possible for more than €70.- PP then you can expect more. I gave a tip myself I can't bring myself not to do that, despite my company not wanting to give a tip. (I had paid the bill for everyone) No Mexican passion and certainly no Mexican food. Spice up the place! And throw the atmosphere back in I would say.

We tried this South American restaurant and the experience was overall very positive. The dishes are delicious, tasty and well balanced, with generous portions Prices are a bit high Friendly and helpful staff A place with character, lights and decorations contribute to creating a warm and engaging atmosphere

Very long waiting time for nothing?

Absolutely loved the food here and the server was such a polite and welcoming gentleman. Very reasonable pricing! Food is delicious, highly recommend the chicken tacos and burrito. We will definitely be back when visiting Amsterdam next time! Thank you - this spot is a must only a 22min walk from Amsterdam Central.

Getting to sit at a table outside is a nice experience... it's in a very nice neighborhood of Amsterdam, highly recommended, their service is very good... their food is delicious, don't forget to visit Caramba

Super delicious food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. In the spring/summer they have a cozy terrace.

We had a reservation for two and we’re seated in a huge table for 6, after 25 min no one took our orders, when I signaled to the waiter that we were ready to order, insted of coming up to us he started screaming with the other younger waiter that was talking to another table and left. We were so in shock, waited a few minutes and just left without ordering anything, and the waiter that yelled was just chilling by the bar instead of taking order, most weird and unhinged experience I ever had

Very very good Mexican restaurant, with reasonable prices and great service. The dishes are very generous. The atmosphere is also very cool. I recommend. (Remember to ask if it stings!)

Really delicious food, it was on the table quickly. Nice service and friendly people. Definitely come back here!

Listen, we’ve searched high and low for delicious tacos!! This is the only place in the whole of Amsterdam where you will pay €10 for 3 tacos!! We don’t eat tacos anywhere else! Tacos,Nachos and Quesadillas are top notch!! You know that feeling when you’ve been away from home and you take that first bite into your favorite dish your mom makes. This place does that! Well priced drink on top of that, that tastes good!! This place is top rated. At least according to me!

Friendly service, good quesadillas, and good tacos. They do have 2 mezcals selections. Be aware the menu online is not the same that’s in person. The menu is attached for your review. By the way you can’t split the check if you come in a group.

Completely lovely experience. Went with our 1 year old and he was treated so warmly - staff even brought out balloons and bubbles! Friendly atmosphere and absolutely delicious food. Quesedillas and beef tacos were amazing! Highly recommend

Very tasty food, lots of choice!

What a great tent! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice. The staff is also incredibly friendly. Something went wrong with one of our drinks and we got a free dessert and free shots. We will be back soon!

Dishes are quite delicious. But this time a small part of my dish was burnt. I recommend margarita and caramba combo.

Amsterdam was missing a nice Mexican restaurant, even though everyone knows that for real Mexican food you need to go there and walk the streets the food was very good and tasty, the staff was awesomely friendly and polite, prices are in my opinion affordable and please you need to try the “Cordero Romero” sooo good..!! And please ask for extra chimichurri… it’s awesome and you would want to put it everywhere!! The Margaritas were on point,… Perhaps they could work more in the atmosphere factor (Mexican music, themes etc) but overall we had a great time , thank you guys for the attention and effort, we will definitely come back .

SO expensive for what it was!! Cute place and lovely service but not worth €25 for a below standard burrito.

The food here is really good, genuinely amazing. Very friendly staff and a lot of places to sit. The atmosphere is lovely and it is all just really beautiful (especially the food) Def recommend!!

the BEST tacos ever, i cannot recommend this place enough and please get the beef tacos if you do go!

The tacos and quesidillas were delicious!! We liked the burrito much less because of the raisins, you have to love them. For the rest of the service, a big 10 was definitely worth repeating!!

The tacos are simply amazing. Rarely eaten such good ones. Slightly sharp and well composed. If I came to Amsterdam again, we would definitely come by again...

Delicious food in a cozy and friendly atmosphere.. Friendly service..

The food was really tasty. We had the tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas and couldn't fault it! Above all, the atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant. Top chefs are good at what they do. The employees are nice and welcoming. Would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone

Delicious food and service was top notch. Nothing to complain about

Food was good but they charged us 8.50€ for a small portion of nachos we never asked for. At the beginning they give u nachos with red sauce but we thought it was free because we didnt order it. Then i see on the bill we get charged 8.50. Sorry but i can buy 8 bags of nachos with that price its ridiculous it was a small plate of nachos with salsa and u want to charge 8.50? When no one even asked for it. the tacos were good but they will never see me again! Avoid this place!!!!

Tacos have changed my life. Don’t know if they are authentic, but I don’t care. They are delicious. Be prepared: Eating here is expensive but worth of every penny.

The best Mexican I've ever been to. Great ambience and very nice service. Really recommended, especially for the price!

Very tasty, but it's a shame that you no longer get standard salsas and sour cream, as this used to be. I would also like to say a word to the person who once took the bean soup off the menu, which was really delicious at the time. But still a nice restaurant with a good atmosphere. Will definitely come back 💯

Honestly one of the best meals i’ve had. My boyfriend and I ordered a second portion of the beef tacos they were so good. So sad we only found this place on our last night because we would’ve went back every day.

Nice atmosphere to sit outside in the summer. The food is okay and typical Mexican food in Amsterdam. They use a lot of cheese on the dishes so they end up very heavy and there is not much to the flavor. We had the chorizo sausage to start which was fine but the sauce is not a chimchiri - it is made with yellow peppers and very oily. As a main we had the burrito and the chilaquiles. Both had a lot of cheese and were very heavy. Overall fine but not great

Staff forgets about orders is what that could be due to the crowds. Food delicious and surroundings nice

the food was DELICIOUS and highly recommended!!!!

Food is sooo peak, those burittos 10 out of 10 best. This is the only restaurant that I say I want to go back

Every time I pass by Caramba, I plan to eat there. I finally made a reservation for us. It did not disappoint at all. My sister-in-law and I had the lamb chops, and my husband had the sea bass. It was delicious, and we really enjoyed it. Afterward, a chocolate slice with whipped cream, and my hubby had ice cream with tequila and whipped cream and sis in law had coffee with Liqor 43. A cozy restaurant, very colorfully decorated (in a Mexican style) with tasty dishes. The staff is nice and polite. Will definitely return.

Best tacos ever! Travel a lot and these tacos blew me away so simple but soooo flavorful wow. Glad I came in. My only regret is not finding it sooner

Good Mexican restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff. Good food, prices in line with city costs.

Really good food, friendly people. Loved the margaritasss

Food was not good. Spoonfuls of oil and grease at the bottom of my dish and very little flavor. Type of dish I’d be happy for if I paid €5, not €25.

Food was excellent, waitress was terrible and not friendly. She wasn’t welcoming and needs training in being front of house. However the food was really tasty and the chef knows how to cook. Just a shame the service wasn’t on the same level as the food.

Amazing food, one of the best tacos I've ever tried. The staff was very nice and willing to pay. The place could use a renovation though, but it also creates an original and magical atmosphere. I definitely recommend this to anyone seeking new culinary experiences on their journeys in Amsterdam.

Prices for the food were too expensive for what we had. The Guacamole wasn't fresh at all and for a small portion of chips 8,50€... Waiters were also not polite at all. Was our first and last time

This was so so good. Satisfied with the staff and delicious food. Highly recommended. I will definitely come back someday😊
