The 10 Best Tacos and Mexican Restaurants in Berlin

A corn tortilla straight off the plancha, meat, raw onion, coriander and a squeeze of lime: that is what a good taco tastes like, and Berlin now serves it on a surprising number of corners. Tacos in Berlin run from the tiny taqueria with four stools at the counter to the cantina with its own margarita list. In between sits everything Mexican cooking has to offer: birria with hot consomé for dipping, cochinita pibil from the oven, quesadillas heavy with melted cheese, Californian-style burritos. Some kitchens press their tortillas by hand, others lean into Tex-Mex with nachos and fajitas. Vegetarian and vegan versions turn up on nearly every menu. So where do you find the best tacos in Berlin?

We ate our way across the city, compared salsas and paid attention to how the tortillas are made. In Prenzlauer Berg, Taquería El Oso cooks inside the Markthalle Pfefferberg, grown out of the Sabor a Mí taco truck. In Mitte, El Amigo Taqueria on Veteranenstraße puts El Pastor and birria on the board. And in Kreuzberg, Tex Mexico on Falckensteinstraße pairs carnitas burritos with a cocktail bar of its own. Ten addresses from Charlottenburg to Steglitz made the list. Which one becomes your regular?
