- Karlito MOctober 12, 2017If you want to get tipsy with margaritas (5 euros during the 7-9 PM happy hours) then this is it. Great tacos as well (go on Taco Tuesday). There's also a second Santa Maria in Berlin.
NedraJanuary 2, 2015Taco Tuesdays are a big ol' tasty party. No, seriously, if you want a seat, come early. It gets packed. The tacos are street style, the hot sauce is spicy, and the employees are a bunch of babes. Olé!
Like A Local GuideOctober 16, 2013Santa Maria is a Mexican diner place with a pub feel. It is making a successful approach of staying a step ahead of always-the-same-tasting TexMex restaurants with handmade tortillas. Read more
Henry KmanJune 3, 2018Personally,I think it’s one of the bestest Mexican diners in town. Different to others in Berlin, but authentic and always with new delicious meals. Wouldn’t go for taco, but the rest the is great.
Elisha BrockJanuary 8, 2017Although a bit small, the ambience was lovely for date night. Delicious veggie chorizo quesadillas, and more veggie options too. Fresh guac was yummy. Good cocktails! Had to wait 20 mins for a table.
Roshan GembaliFebruary 20, 2018Taco Tuesday is kickass. Never mind, the whole place is amazing. Superb food and funky atmosphere.
- Karlito MOctober 12, 2017If you want to get drunk with margaritas (5 euros during the 7-9 PM happy hours) then this is it. Great tacos as well (go on Taco Tuesday). There's also a second Santa Maria in Berlin.
If you're vegan and starving for a filling meal, recommend the chips and guac and the veggie burrito (without cheese). Don't forget to ask for the habenero sauce!
Begum BertinNovember 24, 2015Burrito with "works" was huge but the starters were too small for the price. In general a good place to hang out for happy hour margarita and a burrito if you can find place!
Angela BowieDecember 30, 2015The food tasted really good but my vegan friend and I got our tacos served to us on the same plate which I felt bad for her about because I had chicken. But apart from that it was lovely
The one thing I can recommend NOT to order is the "Chilaquiles Endiablados" unless you've lost sensitive innervation in your tongue & mouth. Many beggars if you sit outside. Gotta totally come back.
Ale TowerOctober 6, 2018Good spot for a quick bite if you’re in the area. Tacos are abnormally large, but you can two instead of the typical three. Tried the carne asada one and they tasted proper!
Elin SandbergMay 19, 2018The nachos were to die for!! And the cutest staff ever, so dog friendly. I have found a new favourite for sure
Delicious Mexican food. Puerco especial is pretty special, though you're best to skip the small starters. Last visit it was full of American tourists but it usually feels more Berlin (bad timing?)- Awesome margaritas. Try the tacos with the shrimps. The burritos are real good, also huge, but you can't really explore the food that way. Do just go for a series of various tacos and dive deep.
If you are homesick and missing Mexican this is the place!! It's authentic and simply wonderful!! Margarita happy hour is delicious!!
Stanislav GuleiJuly 19, 2017This place is worth tasting and eating. Food can be configured with your need. Only disadvantage when I came was that Mexican bear like desperados and Corona finished, coz in demand.
Estefany PradoJuly 6, 2016On taco tuesday is a little bit busy, and you might wait some minutes to have a table, but totally worth it. Tacos for 1€ and margaritas!
Ashok FernandezAugust 24, 2016Taco Tuesday here used to be a favourite of mine but they've definitely gotten smaller and worse quality over time. Lunch specials are still good value for money.
Valentin Charles BrclzAugust 14, 2016The food is amazing here, but get ready to wait for a long time. I would recommend to get the food delivered to avoid the queue.
Ugur KanerJanuary 6, 2015Great Mexican food. Big portions. Free wifi. Also good to grab a lunch and get some work done.
CaroJuly 30, 2018The homemade tortillas are amazing. Flacky and crispy, nom! Tasty filling and salsa. Home made iced tea was deliciously refreshing.
SandyInBerlinMay 30, 2012Start with the nachos & salsa & some margaritas. Proceed to the the pork tacos with extra habañero. Repeat. Plan on being cozy in the rain or sit out side in dry weather. Free WiFi. No credit cards. Read more
Hugo HMarch 31, 2017Always good to try Mexican food around the world to know how much it's similar in taste. I try tacos campechanos and just missed a good hot sauce. =P
Michael B.September 27, 2017Great mexican good. Genuine. Good value for lunch 12-16: food, drink and snacks €10
Agostina BarchiettoNovember 6, 2018Taco Tuesday is the best. You can have tacos for €1.50 and also drinks are really good. The staff is super friendly.
Wellney YarraSeptember 20, 2016Best burritos-tacos-quesadillas I've had in Berlin so far. Rich in flavor and juicy meat. Gets really crowded, though!
Bob CumminsJuly 28, 2019Frozen Margaritas we’re great. Fish and carnita tacos were really good. Service great. Amazing value too. Would definitely go again.
Simónir GJuly 23, 2016Try the Super Tacos de Alambre - at 15€ at the high end of the menu but a really big tasty meal. The Tacos are Gluten free as well
Trine SørensenSeptember 1, 2015Taco tuesday 1€ for one taco - Happy hour on margaritas 20-22 4€ everyday. Great place with good vibes
Ka LauJuly 14, 2015This place feels like a taco shop of SF in the middle of Berlin, in an awesome way. Stumble here on Tuesday for the 1€ tacos was awesome!
Alexander BradleyMarch 13, 2017Tacos tacos tacos! They were super delicious. The lunch menu is good value. Service was a little slow. But ultimately worth the wait
Andrew ZMarch 1, 2016Carnitas was on point, salsa, guacamole, and burrito preparation were very authentic! Best Mexican food I've had in Europe.
Albert LeviDecember 22, 2017Really cool and cosy Mexican diner. Nice music, friendly service and top notch burritos...
- Alexander HumphreyDecember 22, 2019Good Mexican, in heard of Kreuzberg. Good for lots of food, and is also in the city center, making it a good place to take tourists. $$
Renata TNovember 8, 2013the crowd here is always interesting. my favorites: ensalada de pera, mushroom quesadillas (THOSE SALSAS, YUM!) and any of the many yummy drinks
Michele KahyJanuary 2, 2018We had tacos, burritos, margaritas and churros all of which were amazing. Staff is nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend!!
Lance TalskyOctober 4, 2014Pork / carnitas are amazing. I am a Mexican pro and the pork will not let you down. Burritos are great. Enchiladas are massive. Slow service.
Tin PavelićSeptember 12, 2014Burito lunch!!! Both chicken and lamb are awesome! Loads of meat and huge portions! Free wifi! Only a bit slow but it's worth it!
Anders PederJanuary 7, 2019Without a doubt the best tacos I’ve ever had! I highly recommend this place!
John McNallyMarch 20, 2017Delicious Mexican food and the place has a great atmosphere. Got quite busy, but only added to the vibe :D
RobinApril 16, 2023Good mexican food. When you have to wait for a tabel you can have a drink at the bar. Cheap and good cocktails. Don't order to many dishes at once. The menu on the internet is not up-to-date.
Julia DuboskiJuly 14, 2014ah the food is just perfect, margharitas delicious but always soo crowded....still if you re ina mood for fighting, go ahead. it's wrth some blood.
Thomas HillardJune 2, 2014Making tacos for people who have never had real tacos, in a city of 3.5 million with only 3-4 taco restaurants must be dead easy. Just don't ask them if they've ever had real tacos...
Hugo AmsellemApril 11, 2017Best Mexican place in Berlin, the chilaquiles verde are amazing! Decorations could be improved though 😘- The lunch menu (main dish, soup or nachos, soft drink or small beer) is a great deal, and it's delicious!
Esma AsalıoğluJuly 10, 2017Great Mexican food. The only bad thing about this place is that it's always overcrowded.
Sophie HallMarch 15, 2015Incredibly tasty food, made from scratch (the guacamole for example tastes very fresh) - and very friendly service!
