    When I was in Haarlem for a short day, I didn’t have too much time to find a place to eat. The best I could come up with (actually, my teens suggested this) was a chips ( french fries) place on the way to Grote Markt. I like your suggestion much better. The Mexican restaurant would have made everybody happy.

      The Mexican restaurant was indeed really good, and although fries are good, if you want a little bit more the Mexican restaurant would have been perfect.
