About Marimba
Since 1995, Restaurant Marimba has been a trusted address for Mexican food in the heart of Amersfoort. What once began as our parents' adventure has grown into a true family business, where we still welcome our guests with great pleasure every day.
Our story
In 1995 our parents opened the doors of Restaurant Marimba together. After working together in the hospitality business in Amsterdam for years, they decided to start their own restaurant in Amersfoort. The choice for Mexican food was no coincidence: our father had spent six months in Mexico and got to know the flavours and dishes of the country there.
Victor, a good friend of our father with whom he had worked for years, also came to Amersfoort to start as head chef at Marimba. For many years he played an important role in our kitchen, and he still helps out now and then.
More than 30 years later, Marimba is still a true family business. As two sons, we grew up with the restaurant and helped out from a young age. My brother Dennis was manager for many years and is still involved in Marimba behind the scenes. I started in the kitchen at fourteen and took charge of the kitchen at twenty-one.
Our father is still active in the restaurant every day too. Together with our team, we happily carry on what our parents started in 1995.
Fresh every day, made with love
At Marimba we prepare our dishes fresh every day, with love for Mexican food. From our fajitas and enchiladas to the various specialities from the grill: above all, we want our guests to enjoy good food.
But for us, Marimba is about more than just the food. The cosy, homely atmosphere and personal contact with our guests are just as important. Some guests have been coming to us for almost 30 years, something we truly appreciate. And of course we hope new guests feel just as much at home.
Whether you come for an extensive dinner, a fun evening with friends or simply because you fancy Mexican food: we look forward to welcoming you at Marimba!
