Any recommendations for Mexican food? I tried out Taco Tuesday at Santa Maria the other day and it was pretty decent. Anyone here have suggestions for other good Mexican...

as a Mexican I'll give you my opinion and power ranking regarding Mexican style restaurants in Berlin: 1. Ag"uevo Taqueria (Friedrichschain)/ Ta'Kabron - pretty much the bests ones when talking about real Mexican food (but with the outside mexico touch), not expensive and quite good portions. Here you'll find typical Mexican dishes like Mole and Enchiladas. 2. Chaparro (Gorlitzer) - street food prepared by a real Mexican guy, the carnitas tacos are my favorite and on Wednesdays they have tacos and mezcal for 1/1.50 euro, most of the times they're tinga tacos, which are pretty good. 3. Santa Maria (Kotti) / Maria Bonita (Eberswalderstr) - I think they're pretty much the same, but in Maria Bonita they have what I consider real northern Mexican burritos, as the one with bacon and eggs (California style burritos are rare in Northern Mexico). Santa Maria is more like a bar with tacos, and the carnitas burritos are amazing. They have on Tuesdays tacos, the beef and pastor are nice, and Sierra (ugh) tequila shots for 1 euro. 4. Dolores (Wittemberg and Alexanderplatz) - nice California style burritos, pretty big and not as expensive as I would expect, 6-8 euros depending on what you ask. But at the end, they are California burritos, not real Mexican ones. 5. Frida Kahlo (Eberswalderstr.) - pretty fancy and big menu and although they call themselves a Pulqueria, they had nothing to do with it: they don't sell Pulque (a fermented beverage from Agave sap) and pulquerias don't sell fancy food. I would recommend the Flautas (slightly fried tortilla filled with chicken) or the Enchiladas. 6. No Hablo Espa;ol - I didn't like them, asked for a chorizo quesadilla which was basically a small quesadilla with spanish chorizo paper-thin-slices and the burritos had nothing in special, pretty bland...but I couldn't expect more as it was the first burrito place I went here in Berlin. If you really want a burrito or quesadilla, I would go to other place. ----------I haven't tried them list----------- Tin Tan (Chausseestr.) - Friends have told me it is pretty good, real mexican food with a nice menu. By the pictures in their Facebook page it looks promising. Berlin Burrito Company (Winterfeldplatz) - Haven't tried or heard about them, just saw them near my place, but they seem to be on the Dolores style side according to their menu. Burrito Box (Ostkreuz) - they seem to be good but haven't heard of them but one time, my friends said they're good but still need to try them. Enjoy!

[I really like MACHETE - Burrito Box.](http://www.burrito-box.de/) which is right by Ostkreuz.

Just noticing that there are a couple of subjects, Mexican food, cocktails, döner, etc that always turn into massive pissing matches in this sub. I like chaparro. If you prefer something else that's your problem.

Ta'Cabrón Taqueria in wühlischstr and skalitzerstr. Cheap and decent. https://www.facebook.com/pages/TaCabr%C3%B3 n-Taquer%C3%ADa/113890415319775 Edit: btw a lot of people are always really excited about dolores which is close to Rosa Luxemburg Platz ubhn and Alexanderplatz. I think it's OK (food is pretty good) but it seems more of a fast food chain to me and less "authentic" (and thus also with a more plain atmosphere) edit2: spelled name right and posted link

I guess I have to qualify myself a a California native here. The only thing I've had that comes close to good cheap and nearly authentic Mexican is Ta'Cabron, and the Taco Kween at street food events. None of this Dolores burritos bullshit unless you want something that at best approximates Chipotle. And since the question was about actual Mexican food, avoid this like the plague. The other option I see coming up, No Hablo Español, makes ok American burritos, but isn't worth traveling across town for. My eyes are always peeled for new stuff and I'll report back if I ever find the real deal, but only after stuffing my face with an unholy amount of guacamole.

Maria Bonita in Prenzlauer Berg. http://mariabonitaberlin.wordpress.com/ I think the are related to Santa Maria but definite better in my opinion.

More of a take-away with a few benches outside in summer, but NHE (No Hablo Espaniol) in Kopernikusstraße near Warschauer has nice food. Not sure if they still do that, but on Wednesdays you could play rock-paper-scissors with the staff and get a 50% discount if you won.

As a native southern Californian I cannot recommend any of the places mentioned in this thread, other than *maybe* Dolores. It's overpriced and actually more like Chipotle than a typical Mexican burrito shop, and they are super stingy with the salsa. But, beggars can't be choosers, as they say.

Approximately what years and which corner? There was a restaurant right near where the Taco Bell is that I believe was called "The Carriage House." It was there at least through the mid-70 s.
