The waitress was friendly but they brought out an incorrect order for me recently. Two waitresses had to ask me a couple times what my correct order was supposed to be which I found odd. The tacos themselves were pretty decent. The steak and chicken were my favorites. I wish the guacamole for the chips and guac was more seasoned but okay overall. The inside decor was cute and nicely decorated.

I ran in here to escape the rain and was surprised by how nice and dry the intimate covered terrace is; a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a meal. I didn't get wet at all. They also have plenty of nice seating inside. Ordered the Carnitas Tacos and they were really good! You get 4 tacos with an order. My first time having tacos in Holland. They were flavorful with fresh soft tortillas and had some crunchy chicharron inside, which make them extra delicious. The tacos come with green salsa and onions. I have to say my horchata wasn't the best but I'm gonna give them a pass on it because maybe it's just not that popular here. The good thing is that it was not too sweet. The service was great and with a smile and they were so nice. They gave me such a cute table, even though I was dining alone. It's always nice to watch the world go by on a terrace as you enjoy your meal. The sweet candies that come with the bill are delicious. It's a little pricey for Mexican food (25.50€ for 4 tacos) but this is Holland so I'm not going to gripe. If you're craving some really delicious tacos, this is a great place to try in central Amsterdam. They also have lots of really wonderful looking mixed drinks. Try a margarita!

RUN from this place!!! The single worst restaurant experience of my life!! We have two kids and…read moreasked the server if they have a kids menu. She said they don't but that people usually get a quesadilla. So we said that's fine. The quesadilla came with jalapeños and the woman told us to pick them off which we tried. My toddler still cried eating it so we asked for a quesadilla without jalapeños. This is when all hell broke loose. The same woman that told us to pick the jalapeños off kept coming up to us and telling us to read the menu better and we should be charged. She wouldn't stop or let it go!! Over a quesadilla they told us to order for our small children!! My husband said "this is dumb" and they kept saying he called the server dumb. He was just perplexed that they didn't just give us a 50 cent cheese quesadilla for our kids without all the verbal assault! When we got aggressive back they couldn't handle it and started insulting us and telling us we were disrespectful. Their behavior deserves this review. Don't suggest jalapeño quesadillas for kids and then insult your customers! Get rid of that server that couldn't let it go. What a nightmare to have for any business! I'm alerting every single person I know to never come to this restaurant.

They have some drinks (not the best margarita but good enough) by the glass, half liter, and liter. Wine available and then beer choices of Corona, Pacifico, or Bavaria. The chips and guacamole is a good sized appetizer (and they brought more chips when requested). The chiliquiles aren't what I think they should be, but are quite good. Kind of nachos. The shredded beef was like a nice spicy barbacoa. Yum! The portion of fajitas was big. It came with guacamole, two lg flour tortillas, and kind of a three bean salad (odd). The bean soup was a very tasty black bean soup. Great heat and nice consistency. I have been missing Tex mex and this place helped. We will be back.

I also tried the mezcal pairing. It was a great experience in total. This was also how I learned that I don't care for mezcal. Now I know to avoid it in other situations. The staff was very patient and helpful with explaining how a meal works here. They will take the time to talk about what you like to make sure you select the right thing and answer any questions. The cocktail was also really good. I made a reservation, which seemed like the thing to do because it was lively inside. I mentioned this place to friends and they had already heard about it so it seems to be pretty popular and for good reason.

If you are looking great Mexican-inspired comfort food in Amsterdam, Parakeet is a absolute gem…read more It's tucked away in Oud-West near the Foodhallen and has such a cozy, lively vibe. The Food: The homemade nachos are the real deal--super crunchy and clearly house-fried. I highly recommend the pulled pork (The Vondel); the meat is incredibly tender and the toppings are so fresh. One thing to know: the portions are massive! The "half" option is honestly more than enough for one person as a full meal. The Drinks: You can't come here without trying their margaritas. They are perfectly balanced, and they even have a spicy version that is dangerous! I also love that they have a great selection of other cocktails and non-alcoholic options for those not drinking, so everyone in the group is covered. Pro-Tip: It's a small, popular spot with limited seating, so definitely make a reservation if you're planning to visit in the evening. It fills up fast! Great food, big portions, and even better drinks. I'll be back for sure!

I could not have asked for a better evening…read more Parakeet is such a charming and welcoming spot. My friends and I chatted with the owners, who have loved Amsterdam for years and dreamed of moving here to open a restaurant. It is obvious they put a lot of heart into this place, which manages to be both uber hip and inviting. Also their dog Lucy is just the sweetest and is happy to welcome you at the door. More importantly, the nachos are AWESOME. We tried the chili nachos and the pork, and both were delicious. They told us they make the chips in house, and it shows. So much better than the typical Amsterdam nachos. We also loved the queso dip, which is hard to find here. The cocktails were excellent too. I especially loved the coconut daiquiri, but the margarita was great as well. The prices were very reasonable. They said the drink list is seasonal and I can't wait to try out the new drinks. Parakeet is such a gem and I can't wait to return!
