Nestled in the lively streets of Oud-West, Taqueria Lima brings the bold flavours of Latin American street food to Amsterdam's most characterful neighbourhood. From handmade tortillas to slow-braised fillings, this is where Mexico and Peru meet a Dutch canal city.
Taqueria Lima opened its doors in Oud-West with a single ambition: to bring the honest, fire-kissed spirit of Latin American street food to Amsterdam's neighbourhoods. The streets around Bellamyplein are full of curious, hungry Amsterdammers who demand real flavour and genuine character in every bite. Here, authentic recipes share a table with the open, welcoming culture that makes this city one of the world's great dining capitals.
Explore MoreEvery taco begins with fresh masa pressed daily in our Oud-West kitchen, filled with slow-cooked meats and vibrant salsas. From al pastor to crispy fish, each bite carries the heat and brightness of genuine Latin street cooking.
Our ceviche pays homage to the Peruvian coast, made with market-fresh fish cured in lime and layered with ají amarillo chilli. It arrives at your table as vivid and sharp as an Amsterdam winter morning.
Cool down with a house margarita or a pisco sour crafted behind our small bar in Oud-West. We also pour a rotating selection of Latin American beers and aguas frescas to round out your meal.
Taqueria Lima takes the Dutch love of gezelligheid — that irreplaceable sense of warmth and togetherness — and spices it up with colour, cumbia on the speakers, and the smell of charred chilli drifting through an Oud-West evening. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch between Amsterdam errands or settling in for a long weeknight dinner with friends, the room pulls you in and keeps you there.
"Taqueria Lima has completely changed my Tuesday nights in Oud-West — the tacos are the real deal and nothing like the usual Amsterdam options. The al pastor is smoky, juicy, and I keep coming back every week."
"I've eaten tacos all over Amsterdam and nothing comes close to what Lima is doing on Bellamyplein. The ceviche starter alone is worth the trip across the city."
"Visited from Utrecht and my Amsterdam friend insisted we go here — absolutely the right call. Lively atmosphere, generous portions, and a margarita that genuinely surprised me."
