Dolores Wittenbergplatz

Anyone looking for a quick and good meal in Schöneberg will sooner or later end up on Bayreuther Straße. Since 2011, Dolores at Wittenbergplatz has stood for Californian burritos San Francisco-style: fresh, filling, and made for takeout.

Dolores Wittenbergplatz: The Burrito Classic in Schöneberg

In 2004, Dolores brought the authentic San Francisco burrito to Germany, opening its Wittenbergplatz branch in 2011. Since then, the shop has become an indispensable part of Berlin’s grab-and-go snack scene. For over 20 years, Dolores has been serving fresh, authentic San Francisco Mission-style burritos daily – and the concept still works. Everything is freshly prepared by hand daily, without convenience products or preservatives, which you immediately notice with the first bite. The customizable grab-and-go snack never feels generic.

The burrito can be assembled using a modular system: meat, beans, cheese, and salsa form the base; vegetarian and vegan versions are also available. For those who like it classic, opt for the Mission-Style Burrito: It gets its name from the Mission District in San Francisco, where the burrito originated, and combines rice, guacamole, and sour cream with meat, beans, cheese, and salsa. Regulars also swear by Carnitas with Chipotle Mayo.

Vegan, Vegetarian, and for Everyone

About 70 percent of Dolores’s offerings are vegan – what was pioneering work at its opening is now a self-evident strength of the shop. In addition to burritos, there are quesadillas, soft tacos, salads, homemade corn chips, homemade lemonades, and a daily changing vegetarian soup. This way, Dolores Wittenbergplatz covers the entire spectrum of quick lunch breaks. The portions are also generously sized, so you’re well-fed even after a long shopping day around KaDeWe. The restaurant has no day off, making it a reliable destination for anyone out and about in Schöneberg.
