El Amigo Taqueria in Berlin

The wait was very long, the portion was very small

Amazing food, amazing people, amazing drinks, everything gluten-free: heaven. Very friendly and welcoming staff who are very glad to help you and tell you about the food in plenty of languages. My favourite was the pulled jackfruit taco, so good.

We shared tacos 1,2,3&4. All were fresh and tasty! We recommend. There is an artists' space & washroom nearby.

Good tacqueria for German standards! For me the tacos were a little bit dry, despite being messy, however would return!

Easily the best tacos I’ve had in Europe with amazing service and staff I would walk 500 miles for this food if you are in Berlin go see the artists at el amigo taqueria

Best Mexican food I’ve ever had in my entire life. Everything was perfect. Staff has a kind and considerate demeanor. The Mexican food back in the NJ/NY tri-state area doesn’t hold a candle to this.

Food and service were amazing! Definitely worth it!!

Authentic Mexican taqueria. One of the best in Germany.

I really didn't like it: I waited a long time for my food and the portions were much smaller than expected!!

Delicious and cheap street food! Authentic flavours and only for 11 Euros you get 3 tacos. Great vibe and nice outdoor seating!

It reminds of the taco stands in Mexico and the tacos are authentic and delicious

Very friendly service, the food was fantastic. They immediately ordered seconds!

Very tasty and, above all, authentic tacos. Very tasty, the meat very juicy, and the service quick and friendly. I'll be back.

Great tacos, very tasty and juicy, also very much furnished. Definitely worth the price and the wait. You better enjoy these simple and not pretentious places to other ones that sell you candy for the eyes (or the gram) but where you are always disappointed. Service is also extremely kind. Would recommend!

I ordered the chorizo tacos and baby quesadilla. The chorizo taco is out of this world, so flavoursome. If you can handle the heat, the addition of the extra hot sauce completely elevates it. The frozen margaritas are also delicious. Would highly recommend.

Kinda dry, definitely not as good as El Oso

We came on a rainy day and the tacos were delicious. There are plenty of options, including vegetarian, and the tortillas held up well without falling apart—which I really appreciated since that’s not always the case elsewhere. Personally, I think tacos are best with two tortillas, but many taquerias in Europe only serve them with one. The horchata was good, though I wish the flavor were a bit stronger. Only downsides were that several tables were wet and I didn’t see salsa options. On the plus side, there are plenty of seating choices. Overall, tasty tacos and a solid spot worth visiting! 🌮

Very tasty, a bit of a long wait, but worth it.

Incredibles tacos in Berlin. The food taste amazing and the service was the best (from everyone specially from Stefany). I never been to Mexico, but I felt like I was there. Super recommend

Authentic food truck and great atmosphere. The tacos were delicious! Vegetarian/vegan options!

Everything is delicious and I recommend you try it here.

Very friendly and warm place, very good food

The tacos were too soggy and all tasted the same! I was disappointed.

Delicious tacos and friendly staff ❤️

Best tacos 🌮 in Berlin. Waiting time is a bit longer than expected because it’s mostly crowded

Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. And super friendly hosts!

This is delicious, a good option for those who live nearby.

The tables are sticky and covered with food leftovers from previous guests. I sat at the stand for an hour and didn't see a single table cleaned. The food tastes good. Restrooms and handwashing facilities are located in another building and are somewhat difficult to reach. Soap and toilet paper were not provided.

Real authentic tacos in a place full of history, what more could you ask for?

Taken as a very loose personal opinion, but as a Mexican who has been eating tacos all my life, these tacos were a gastronomic GEM. Truly great flavour and, best of all, the sauce IS spicy. One of the best finds in Berlin and 100% recommended for everyone.

Crazy, thats the best mexican restaurant I have ever visited! Pure Wow Moment!

I was here with a couple mexican friends and to do the place justice, I will just quote them: “YES” “EVERYTHING” “Very authentic”

Great tacos! Fantastic flavours and feels quite authentic.

What a lovely place! The portions are not very large, but delicious! Definitely take at least 3 Tacos!

Best ever. My daughter showed me this somewhat hidden taqueria, and at first I thought nothing good would come out of this junk shop, but I was wrong. Absolutely delicious and juicy tacos. Extremely tasty with exceptionally friendly service, straight from the cart. To go with it, a cold Modelo or Pacifico. It couldn't be better, and I'd happily come back.

Very tasty. The staff is very friendly. The ambiance is basic. The meat was a bit tough for me. But the flavors are very good.

This is like Mexican Mexican food! So good!

Damn those were some good tacos.

I just ate 3 tacos today at this lovely canteen, and I really enjoy every bite of them. I ordered pork and minced meet, both of them well seasoned and so tasty🤤

Amigos, hola Bonitas! These tacos are the real deal! But honestly, they're a li li li liil bit expensive and the wait is way too long :(

Genuinely Mexican tacos, the meat is high quality, 200% recommended if you are looking for an authentic gastronomic experience and a good spot to have a beer 🍻 this is the perfect place

Fantastic tacos and atmosphere.

Wide selection, fast service, food was okay but good quality

Really nice service, very friendly staff, tasty tacos (enough that I would hmmmmm while chewing, just saying), tasty frozen marguerita and a big terrace. ***It’s not an indoor restaurant, it only has seats outside. Right at the entrance of Kino.

I’ve been to several places in Mexico, and the people at El Amigo have truly brought those flavors to Berlin. The birria was amazing, and so was the delicious Margarita. A perfect spot to relive the Mexican vibe.

Fantastic tacos and a lot of variety on the menu. Moving from central Texas, I was worried about finding a good taco spot. No longer worried. Found it.

Visiting Berlin for a couple of days and decided to give this place a try based on the amazing reviews. It was totally worth it! The birria tacos were 10/10

Awesome place. The service was 10/10, super friendly and very welcoming. They recommended me without hesitation and always with a smile. The tacos… amazing. Some of the best I've ever had. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in Berlin. Top-notch!

I consider the tacos here to be the best in Berlin. I tried numbers 1 to 6 and found them all delicious, robust, and expertly seasoned. With the amazing chili sauce and pickled chilies, which you can help yourself to as much as you like, they're a real treat. And the prices, I think, are just about fair. The lovely staff patiently, friendly, and cheerfully explain everything you want to know. Unfortunately, they only speak English with a few snatches of German, but that's just how it is in Berlin. We capital city dwellers are cosmopolitan after all. Any negatives? The seating is spartan, and the whole place has a pure street food feel. You sit back to back with others, it's cramped and hectic when it's busy. You have to get your drinks from the bar in the back, and sometimes you have to wait patiently for your tacos for a while, but the food is worth it. And of course, it's not easy to eat tacos without making a mistake; you have to be prepared for a bit of a challenge. You just have to like it. But otherwise: If you give this place a bad review, sorry – you're used to Tex-Mex and don't really care for authentic tacos? That's your right, but it's really your own fault. Just get your run-of-the-mill tacos somewhere else. But if you really want the full package and appreciate authenticity, you should go here.

We were there. The food wasn't really Mexican. I was really disappointed.

I am Mexican and I was looking for a place to eat delicious food here in Mexico and everything is truly delicious. The birria were my favorites and then the Pastor. The food was really good and I would definitely go back. The price seemed reasonable for 3 tacos and the amount they put in each one, quite delicious and recommended.

Lovely place friendly staff great tacos!

We tried a range of tacos, they were OK, quite samey in taste, the Birria was the standout, delicious frozen margaritas though!

Best mexican food you'll find in Berlin! Lovely people and delicious food!

Food makes this five stars. Great taste, especially the Birria tacos. Quite expensive though and not the best searing area.

Very tasty, great atmosphere, friendly staff – sometimes a bit busy, so be sure to bring your time. Highly recommended!

Excellent! Good flavor, a pleasant experience

I ordered beef and also the veg, Super, tasty, staff is good and please listen Mia song(bad bunny & drake)

A pretty decent taco outlet. The menu and the food was quite authentic but a bit toned down for the german customers. Still, a solid choice if you are in the area or have an extreme cravings for tacos. Still the best I've had in Germany so far. The atmosphere was also fun and the staff were friendly and help you with the choices.

Best Tacos in town… and beyond! We come here whenever we crave for Tacos, literally driving through the whole city. On top, they are always super welcoming and the ambient is as “Berlin” as it gets - in the positive way :)

EVERYTHING IS VERY GOOD. CONGRATULATIONS 10/10. GO THERE, ESPECIALLY THE CHILAQUITES. ALSO THE ORIGINAL SLAY LOCATION.

Best tacos I'm Berlin, hands down! Also a great place to grab a drink, Frozen Margaritas when it's hot or a cold beer. Do it!

Probably the best taco I have ever had. Recommend

These tacos are incredible and some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines, but I haven’t had much luck finding any good Mexican food places in Germany. Most Mexican food places in Germany don’t really taste like Mexican food from Mexico. However, the tacos here truly taste like Mexican food. I’m so glad I found this place, this place is truly outstanding! All of the tacos are amazing, but my favorites are the gringa and the al pastor tacos!

I tried four different tacos and didn't like any of them. The flavors weren't impactful. I specifically asked for no cilantro and extra onions, but they didn't put any onions and there was cilantro. It was the exact opposite of what I asked for.

Very nice and fast service, the food was delicious and the place was very nice and with a lot of space. We ordered different types of tacos, all delicious. For drinks we had very nice margaritas.

Best tacos in town 😍😍 They should just add more variety of salsas for the tacos 🌮

Authentic, chill and friendly service!

The tacos are very tasty, but the filling is insufficient, especially considering the price. The michelada is made with tomato juice instead of clamato, and at €3.50 more than the price of beer, the amount of mixed drinks in the glass is unacceptable. The system of collecting drinks from the bar next door is very inefficient. The staff was very friendly, which is always appreciated. But with the variety of tacos available in Berlin, I have no reason to return to El Amigo.

Decent tacos. Really high prices though. Poor selection of Agua Fresca. Rude service at the counter but the guys making the tacos are nice. Certainly get better food and great Agua Fresca for lower prices in San Francisco and Los Angeles; both much more expensive towns than Berlin. Not long ago I could eat well at Rosenthalerplatz for 2€!

Probably the most authentic tacos I've had outside of Mexico. Super friendly staff and really delicious aguas frescas. The Horchata was amazing!

So frikkin good! I'd put El Amigo street tacos up against any I've had in Europe. Loved the Bistec, Pastor, and Birria best. Frozen margaritas were really good too! ¡Auténtica!

Okay, overall, the experience was good. The food tasted good, the drinks too, and the prices seemed fair. The place is comfortable, with a good atmosphere, and when I went, there was live music, which made the visit much more enjoyable. As a Mexican, I perhaps expected a little more warmth in the service. It wasn't bad at all; I just lacked that warmer, more cheerful touch that one usually associates with these types of places. Still, I recommend it if you're looking for tasty Mexican food and a pleasant atmosphere.

Such a great vibe! The laid-back, unique atmosphere is perfect for enjoying amazing tacos. We tried several kinds—each one bursting with bold, authentic flavor. The Birria tacos were especially unforgettable. Easily some of the best street tacos I’ve had in Berlin. Highly recommended!

So far, my favorite tacos outside California and Mexico

I'm Mexican, I've been in Europe for several months, and I wanted to try a good taco. This place is perfect for that. Good prices and excellent service, plus there's a very nice park across the street.

Best Tacos we have tried in Berlin so far🫶🏻🫶🏻

Absolutely delicious, authentic Mexican tacos. Everything was freshly prepared. They even serve homemade horchata, a special treat I’ve rarely seen outside of the western hemisphere.

The tacos are spectacular. Especially al pastor and birria, and they only have chilaquiles on Sundays. They forgot our chilaquiles, but they made it happen. Mexican music plays and tables are shaded. You can pay by card or cash. They have horchata (but not tiger nut) and mimosas.

The first thing that stands out is the size of the tacos. Three tacos for 11 euros, a Berlin price, so the generous size is appreciated. We tried pastor, birria, campechano, and steak. The first three lacked a bit of seasoning, but the steak was quite good. The tortillas were a bit crunchy, so at times it felt like a cross between a taco and a tostada. What I didn't like at all was the lack of salsas to add to your tacos, which you can find at other places.

Very good tacos and very good service. We had three orders ahead of us, so we went to get our drinks, and within 1-2 minutes they had our order ready. We made a mistake and ordered a taco that had cheese (my wife doesn't eat cheese), and even though we ordered it, they changed the taco for free. As a Mexican, I recommend it!

The tacos were delicious and the atmosphere in the courtyard is just relaxed 👌🏼

I arrived at the food truck excited to feel a little bit at home: Mexican tacos in the heart of Berlin! We ordered six tacos and a drink; they gave me my ticket (which no one told me was like a turn) and I stood near the outside bar waiting. Ten minutes later, I heard out of the blue that the drinks had to be picked up inside. No one told me, and when I complained, I only got a "yes" with a hollow smile, with no apology or intention of improving. The excitement began to deflate when I noticed the board had just marked the order 13 turns before mine. With more than ten people "working" and the place half empty, it took more than 30 minutes to serve the 13 orders. Nothing like the agility of a traditional taqueria in Mexico. When the tacos were finally delivered, they were crammed onto a tiny plate; after the first bite, everything spilled out. The menu advertised four salsas, but there was only one communal pot, and I had to take turns with another customer who was impatiently waiting to bring it to her table. To top it all off, the prices weren't listed on the menu. I wanted to clean our table because it was sticky; I asked for a cloth and was promised that "someone" would clean it... that "someone" never came. We ended up taking refuge in the slightly less dirty, albeit dusty, interior area. The tortillas were hard, almost Taco Bell-style, and while the taste was "passable," the combination of slow service, disorganization, and a complete lack of attitude left a bad taste in my mouth. With so much Mexican culinary talent around Berlin, this food truck falls far, far short.

Was in Berlin for 3 days, ended up eating here twice. The food is the best Mexican food I have eaten so far. Slightly expensive, but I would still gladly pay more than 11 euros for 3 tacos because of how extraordinarily delicious they were.

The food was good, a little pricey, but worth it for a treat. We had chilaquiles with chorizo and tacos al pastor, both of which were great. The soft drinks are very reasonably priced and very good. The beer was expensive, but also worth it. We found the atmosphere really good, quite lively without being too loud, and there was a jazz group playing from time to time, which was pretty cool. I'll visit again just for the food, to be honest.

Very tasty tacos. Three tacos are enough to fill you up.

Great tacos! So cute, so welcoming and great music.

Went 4 times, each time I was told the serving time is > hour. One time I waited in line for 20 minutes and the moment I got to order I was told they won't be serving food anymore starting at that moment.l (basically wasting my time and of the others behind me). So far I haven't got the chance to eat there because of the bad service and poor management.

The Birria taco was the best i ever had. The service is really friendly and helpful, definitely a must try

They facilitated my birthday here. It was a super lovely and chill atmosphere. If you want real Mexican food 🥘 and good vibes 😎 look no further.

Excellent tacos!!! The birria is delicious and the service is 💯

Best tacos in Berlin! Need to try!!

Best Taqueria in Berlin! Tried 4 different types - they were all amazing! 🌮 And definitely should try Horchata!

One of the best places to get tacos in Berlin. Make yourself a favor and order the campechanos and gringas.

They make the most delicious tacos and they are soooo nice!! Also the frozen margarita is 10/10 ❤️

While the food truck is centrally located and nice, everything else seemed overrated to me. 1. We arrived at 4:30 PM on a Sunday, and the three orders of tacos (i.e., nine pieces) took over an hour to come out. That's WAY too long (considering that one or another of the food truck staff was literally doing nothing or eating while they were cooking, even sending WhatsApp messages). 2. When we (finally) received our order, the al pastor tacos were bland. The asada tacos were a bit dry but still good, and the campechanos were delicious. Unfortunately, the tortillas fell apart; they were very greasy at first and then became really hard. 3. The drinks (horchata water, hibiscus water, and pineapple and lemon water) were a disappointment. Truly bland. They have everything you need to succeed. The staff is super friendly and everything, but... we won't be back. I was hoping for at least some good tacos, no matter the price if they're really worth it. But they weren't. Too bad.

Delicious tacos and very friendly staff. Great music (if you like Latin music)

Casual atmosphere, authentic tacos, and appropriate music (bangers). We had vegetarian tacos, which were very well-balanced in flavor. The tortillas are full of flavor, and the margaritas were also quite good.

The food is super tasty. The meat was well cooked and adding chili oil was absolutely amazing. Would definitely go again.
