I've always liked the idea of Mexican food, for one it is normally vegetarian and the meat dishes are normally just the veggie versions with meat added. It's also really tasty - nicely spiced with a variety of chillies. I've heard of and eaten at a couple of Mexican restaurants in Amsterdam, including Cafe Burito in De Clercqstraat, which has a great atmosphere. My Burrito on the Kinkerstraat have awesome burritos and they use primarily organic ingredients. They're really putting a lot into the sustainable side of the business - they have used reclaimed wood and low energy light bulbs. I don't think you can make a bigger environmental impact as a restaurant than using organic ingredients though. And virtually everything is!
As well as making it good on the environmental side of things, they also make some damn fine burritos. They are not expensive either - a basic burrito with rice, beans, salsa and cheese will only set you back €5.50 and is a proper meal size. You can also customize your burrito with different strength salsa or different beans. The best thing is that My Burrito makes their salsa and guacamole fresh every morning - nothing beats freshly prepared ingredients, something that a couple of Amsterdam snack shops I know could learn from. Of course if the burrito is not for you, they also do a number of other dishes (despite the name!).
