Los Pilones

Los Pilones is a Mexican restaurant in the Jordaan. A lively, long-running Mexican cantina with great margaritas.

What to expect

Expect Mexican plates — tacos, sharing dishes and the usual line-up of margaritas and Mexican beers.

The neighbourhood

It sits in Jordaan. The Jordaan is Amsterdam's prettiest, most charming quarter — narrow lanes, leafy canals, hidden almshouse courtyards and brown cafés. Once working-class, now beloved for slow wandering, independent shops and a villagey feel right beside the centre.

Good to know

Pricing sits in the mid range — a typical Amsterdam restaurant night out.

Opening hours and prices change — check the restaurant's own channels, and book ahead for busy evenings.
