El Zarape

Burritos, Tacos and Guacamole at El Zarape

The menu covers Mexican classics. There are filled burritos, tacos with various meat and vegetable fillings, and freshly made guacamole. Also available are nachos with cheese, quesadillas, and sides like rice and beans.

The proportion of vegan dishes, clearly marked on the menu, is striking, including a vegan-filled burrito. This allows for mixed orders, so no one at the table needs a special solution. The portions are such that an appetizer is sufficient for two people.

Margaritas are mixed at the bar, with the mango variation being one of the most ordered. This makes El Zarape suitable for a quick meal as well as for an evening with multiple courses and drinks.

Mexican Restaurant in Gerichtstraße in Wedding

El Zarape is located on Gerichtstraße in Wedding, in a neighborhood that has noticeably changed in recent years. Cafes, small shops, and bars have opened all around, and Leopoldplatz and Nettelbeckplatz are within walking distance.

The dining area is colorfully designed and manageably sized, with outdoor tables added in summer. The clientele is accordingly neighborhood-friendly; many guests come regularly and know the team by name.

For Wedding, El Zarape is one of the few established addresses for Mexican food and is therefore well-attended even during the week. Takeaway orders are a firm part of the business, as is delivery to the surrounding streets.

The connections are good; Wedding U-Bahn station and Humboldthain S-Bahn station are both within walking distance. Inside, there is space for larger groups, and the room is designed so that communication is still possible even on busy evenings.

In addition to the classic offerings, Mexican-topped pizzas are on the menu, such as with chicken or lamb birria. This blend of taqueria and pizzeria is unusual in Berlin and has earned El Zarape a unique reputation in the neighborhood.
