Dolores Mitte

Burritos, Quesadillas and Bowls at Dolores Mitte

Here, the burrito is assembled using a building-block principle. Meat, beans, rice, cheese, and salsa form the base, with guacamole, sour cream, and corn chips added as desired. Vegetarian and vegan options are equally available on the menu, and the spiciness can be adjusted via the salsa from mild to habanero.

In addition to burritos, there are quesadillas, soft tacos, salads, and bowls, which serve the same fillings without a tortilla. Homemade lemonades, homemade corn chips, and a daily changing vegetarian soup are also available.

The line at the counter moves quickly because everything is assembled directly in front of the guests, and the order is taken step by step. For takeout, the burrito is wrapped so it can be eaten on the go.

Californian Burritos on Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße

In 2004, Dolores brought the San Francisco Mission Style burrito to Germany, inspiring a whole generation of imitators. The shop on Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße is just a few steps from Alexanderplatz and has since become a permanent fixture in Berlin-Mitte.

The interior is deliberately simple: long counters, high tables, window seats, and a high turnover. Dolores Mitte is designed for speed, making it particularly well-suited for lunch breaks when many people from surrounding offices arrive at the same time.

Surrounded by theaters, shops, and shopping streets, the clientele is a mix of Berliners and travelers. After more than twenty years, the basic concept hasn’t changed, and that’s precisely the appeal of the place.

The shop can be reached via the Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz U-Bahn station and Alexanderplatz, where all major lines stop. Payment is made directly when ordering, after which you take your tray to one of the tables or head out immediately.

The corn chips are baked in-house and served with dips, and the lemonades are freshly made daily. Both have been part of the offering since the beginning and explain why many guests have been coming to the shop for years.
