Tacos & Tequila
Taco-and-agave specialist off the Leidseplein — octopus tacos, habanero-pineapple salsa and staff who talk tequila like sommeliers.

A genuine surprise in the Leidseplein tourist belt: Tacos & Tequila cooks its tacos with care — beef, chicken and a standout octopus — backs them with a habanero-pineapple salsa that improves everything it touches, and treats its agave list as a subject, with staff happy to pour a limited reposado taster mid-conversation. Every cocktail comes alcohol-free on request, the pork belly starter is the right opener, and the spicy crème brûlée the unexpected closer. Pricier than a taqueria, cheaper than regret. Book on weekend nights.
