Coba and Tula: Authentic Mexican flavors and creative cocktails in Amsterdam Noord

If you are looking for an authentic Mexican experience with a creative edge, Coba in Noord is an absolute standout. The vibe is raw and vibrant, perfectly matching the industrial energy of the neighborhood. Much of what they serve is made from scratch in-house, including their fiery salsas and unique homemade kombucha, ensuring every dish feels intentional and fresh.

The food itself is packed with soul and bold seasonings. We were particularly blown away by the tostadas, which were incredibly flavorful and stood out as a highlight of the meal. It is the kind of place where traditional techniques meet a modern, artistic presentation, making it one of the most exciting dining spots on the north side of the IJ.

The experience does not stop at the restaurant, as their bar next door, Tula, is the perfect place to continue the evening. They serve some seriously good cocktails that are just as thoughtfully crafted as the food menu. Whether you are coming for the full dinner or just to enjoy the atmosphere at the bar, the combination of Coba and Tula makes for an unforgettable night out.
