What a surprise! I've been living down the block from this restaurant in the Jordaan for 4 months and just went to this restaurant last night. WOW, was it great! I had the carne with pico de gallo and cactus and it was scrumptious! My boyfriend had enchiladas with mole sauce. Usually I don't like mole sauce, but theirs was... more

This is by far my FAVORITE restaurant in Amsterdam. There are 2 locations now, one in the city center and one in the Jordaan. Both offer the same menu of mexican favorites. This is not texmex. This is mex mex. The kitchen staff and owners are mexican and they cook from the heart. All the mexicans that I know go... more

Probably the only Mexican in Amsterdam and the food is reasonable good... now if you are expecting a Tex-Mex don't go there. By the way, sangria is from Spain, not from Mexico. I am from Spain, so I know. The waiter will be quite right to say "this is a Mexican, not a Spanish restaurant"... in NYC you can order... more

My wife and I had dinner in Los Pilones. I now wonder who sent in these reviews. This place has the worst Mexican food we ever had. I normally do not put down a restaurant, but we spent fifty euros for two dishes that I would call slop, and I want to warn others. My wife asked for sangria and... more

Yum yum yum! As recommended by our guide book, my husband and I ate dinner at Los Pilones. We did not make reservations, so when we showed up at ~8:00ish on a Thursday night all that was available was a seat outside. We went with it and had some great margaritas, beer, chips and food. The staff was very friendly... more

We were in Amsterdam for my friends Hen Weekend. I booked a table at Los Pilones via the website whilst still in the UK. I received a really prompt response from Gloria who was working in the restarant the evening we were there. We had a couple of jugs of margarita which were really lovely. The food was good and... more

I live in Poland and miss good Mexican food. I found this place in Amsterdam and decided to give it a try, despite the fact that I am often disappointed by Mexican food in Europe. This place was great! It was so good that we returned the next evening! The chips and salsa (3 types) were excellent and the margaritas... more

We were a party of 5 and had made reservations. The restaurant is small and would really feel a bit cramped if full but we were eating fairly early so that wasn't a problem. The food was quite good--good Mexican food can be difficult to fine in many parts of Europe. All of us agreed that it was good enough... more

More a cafe than a restaurant. Limited menu but good sized portions. Popular with Americans. more
