    Service was very slow even though it wasn't too busy, and the chicken/shrimp fajitas we got were too salty and the tortillas they came with were rock hard

    This place used to be great, but clearly many things have changed. The food is extremely cheap, burnt nachos, no flavour. In the photos you can see what they serve as pico de gallo (literally just onions here), and my fajitas, which tasted like they were drenched in bbq sauce. I’ve had better food in gas station bars.

    Caramba has long been a complete favourite for both large groups and smaller ones. It is exactly the ambience and service one desires, and the cuisine is excellent.

    Nice outdoor seating available, very nice in summer. Food options limited to tacos, nachos and quesadilla. Tacos are delicious, fair price too. Service could improve a lot, rather slow and all over the place forgetting order and long wait.

    We reserved here based on the reviews on The Fork and for the first time we were disappointed. Our disappointment was mainly fueled by two things. Firstly, though we did like the overall taste of the dishes, we couldn't help but feel that the restaurant is economizing on the main ingredients: they were not bad but we had definitely had better. Secondly we were charged prizes that were 20% higher than in the menu on The Fork, but worse, even 10% higher than on their own Web site. I understand that prizes sometimes need to be raised, but I think it is bad practice to not make certain that at least their own web site has the correct prizes. The combination of these two criticisms has made me decide to leave this review, completely contrary to my conviction to not leave negative reviews.

    This was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. Our drinks and food were delicious and arrived quickly. We definitely recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam!

    Very nice food and good atmosphere. We asked for water but the waitress forgot, and also one person had to wait for the meal after the others were served.

    Such a great, reliable and friendly place. Tasty Tex-Mex food at really good prices. Nice space and friendly service. Have been a number of times and it always satisfied.

    La Caramba is for us and our friends a regular gathering delight. The cuisine is excellent as is also Lucia. Saturday evenings may be crowded and too noisy but still we had a good time.

    The service was really good, all the staff were very nice but the food was not disappointing but also not incredible. It had a nice homemade, rustic feel to it, but due to that didn’t really feel worth the money we paid… Overall the whole experience was incredible and we had a great time but I maybe alter my expectations before going again.
