From dream to
delicious reality
The story of how four friends brought fresh, authentic Mexican flavours to Europe.
From kitchen table to the first Salsa Shop
The dream? Authentic Mexican flavours in Europe. In 2014, four childhood friends in Amsterdam had a vision: real Mexican cuisine, right here. We’re talking fresh, high-quality ingredients, a unique counter concept, and customisable, delicious meals without messing around.
Mmmmmanifesto
Hey stranger, I see the way you look at me. Craving something sinfully satisfying yet soothing for your soul. Something too good to waste on a napkin.
We know what you want. We have what you need. Fast food that feels good. For days.
So we said goodbye to junk and hola to the real deal: the pure, honest, full-bodied flavour of fresh Mexican goodness.
Our ingredients? Fresh. Our methods? Simple. Our food? Saucy and never sorry. Just like you. To be saucy is to be bold. Dip with confidence. Spill without shame. Lick your fingers – hell, your elbow. Savour it before you swallow it. Taste everything. And still feel good tomorrow.
Goodbye etiquette. Hello ecstasy. Here, your hands do the tasting. Let the juices run down your wrist. Bite. Groan. Moan. Look your meal in the eye and say: “You complete me.”
Crave. Get messy. Feel good after.
You’re welcome.
What we stand for
Authenticity
We honour the essence of Mexican cuisine: vibrant, fresh and full of soul. Every dish we make stays true to where it comes from.
The future, built on flavour
Every day we work for tomorrow, because every ingredient and every guest matters. We’re building a permanent, vibrant place for Mexican food in Europe.
Taste is king
It’s never just fuel and never just fast, it’s a moment that connects. We live by one principle: what we serve is always fresh, pure and exceptional.
Fresh Mexican, fresh happiness
Mexican food is vibrant, nutritious and alive with flavour, not a caricature. We redefine fast food: quick, wholesome and delivered fresh every day.
From humble beginnings to a culinary revolution.
The first Amsterdam Salsa Shop exploded onto the scene, an instant hit with its fresh flavours and unique environment. Five years in, our passion for authentic Mexican food took us from one shop to many across the Netherlands. Salsa Shop’s tale is one of creativity, passion, and an unyielding love for amazing Mexican food.
