Mexicaans Cafe-Restaurant La Margarita Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

The food was good but they didn’t accept card for less than 30 euros. Since it was me eating alone my bill was around 22 euros. They made me go to the ATM across the street to take out cash which incurred in several fees for me, so that dinner costed me way more than it should have, just for them to save on some taxes or whatever their deal is with cards. On top of it, while I was taking out the cash they were watching me and waiting for me on the street. What could’ve been a nice dining experience left me feeling like a criminal (and paying high fees that I shouldn’t have had to pay), which could have been entirely avoidable if they had taken my card. The whole principle is already backwards because I am the one that feels robbed and in the meantime they are treating me as if I was the robber. I would never go back and do not recommend it. For me eating out is not only about the food but also how you feel in the establishment, and eating here turned out in a terrible experience. I give it 3 stars because the food was good and I want to give credit for that, however for the overall experience I would...

It was a very interesting experience, positives and few negatives. We arrived on a Saturday night after being told in other places that they were full, so finding space here was great! The waitress warned us that the dishes were coming slowly and we accepted the condition. The staff was friendly and spoke Spanish although service was a bit sloppy and seemed to lack diligence. After waiting a lot for our food (we got first starters then ordered mains) everything was great! We were all very happy with the food. When we arrived I had ordered a margarita that took almost as much as the food to arrive and when it did it was salty. I (went down stairs to the bar and) asked the waitress if she could change it, she gladly did and the new one was good, the wife of my boyfriend's brother ordered one too, although we missed the Margarita glasses (they were served in a long glass haha). Overall it was a good eating experience, if you are willing to be patient, we were warned about the longer times and the staff was nice to us, food was delicious and we had a great...

Looks the part from the outside, but everything else is a nightmare once you get in.

It is a joke of a restaurant, the food and service is awful. Avoid at all costs. The worst run restaurant I have ever been in. The staff and management have absolutely no idea.

We wanted to sit on the balcony, they told us "No its raining". We had to point out it wasnt raining and that the balcony was completely covered anyway. They reluctantly let us out there. I can only guess the waiters were too lazy too walk out there.

Waited hour for food, our mains came out 20 minutes apart. Ordered a rum and coke and it took 25 minutes for them to put some rum in a glass and then hand me a bottle of coke for me to mix myself.

Food is extremely basic, and tasteless. I have no idea how they can take so long to make it when it only has 3 ingredients. It is just awful quality and incredibly minimalist and basic

I was pleased I didnt get food poisoning, that is the only nice thing I can say about the meal.

I was extremely disappointed i wasted 2 hours of my trip to Amsterdam...
