“Here you find the best empanada’s and factura’s in Amsterdam”

Laura’s favourite: La Reinita

Laura: "When I arrived in Amsterdam in 2020 I started looking for Latin American places, just to see what was on offer here. I found there were mainly Mexican and Argentinian places and this is one of the Argentinian's I found. It had very good reviews online and people where very enthousiastic about the empanadas and facturas.

I had the chance to get to know the Argentinian culture before so I am familiar with Argentinian food and these two happened to be my favorites. So I had to check this place out - and I wasn't disappointed. They are really delicious, very authentic - the best I have found in Amsterdam. It's no wonder that it is always full of Argentinians here! Which is great, because I also like Argentians, they are very honest and straightforward - they are like the dutch of Latin America.

I come here maybe once every one or two months. Mostly with friends to grap something and take a walk and I usually take a box with empanadas home. So I can enjoy them during the week for lunch."
