El-Bandito in Berlin

The food is delicious. The prices are fair. Friendly service.

Unfortunately, the food wasn't tasty at all. We had nachos topped with ground beef and cheese. The whole thing wasn't seasoned at all; I've had much better nachos from a packet. It's a shame! The restaurant is also very worn, with old carpeting, not very nice.

Really delicious food, super friendly staff, nicely decorated

Great food 😋. Unbeatable value for money. Delicious cocktails.

The fillet steak is highly recommended. At first, I thought it couldn't be worth the price, but the steak was quite tasty. Add the onions, herb butter, and a baked potato, and it was perfect. Compared to the steakhouse at Zehlendorf train station, which is significantly more expensive, I found the steak to be more flavorful, although I can't comment on the quality of the meat. Rounding off the dinner with a cocktail... perfect.

Nice Mexican restaurant. Authentic food, as far as I can tell. Excellent value for money.

Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, great value for the money.

I wanted to like this more than I ended up liking it. The food is largely unseasoned and pretty mediocre. The drinks are good, and the atmosphere is pretty reasonable. The service was very spotty, with the waiter at one point yelling at our party from across the restaurant to ask if we were enjoying our food, which was a bit odd.

Guests are always greeted warmly here. The quality of the food is really good. I particularly like the grilled meats and the steaks. Actually, the entire menu is highly recommended. It's reasonably priced and tasty. The chef is excellent and will even serve you if you need something quick. The staff are all friendly.

Good Mexican cuisine, great value for money! Good service 🌮

I ordered a burrito. But they served me something that wasn't a burrito. Although the taste was good, it was very difficult to enjoy. As I'm a Latin American person, unfortunately, it was a sad experience. --- I ordered a burrito. But they served me something that wasn't a burrito.

If you're willing to wait 35 minutes after placing your order, then this is the place for you. The food doesn't arrive while customers who arrive after you are already being served. When you ask, they just say, 'It's coming right away' – and then you wait another 15 minutes. The taste was also disappointing. They also brought the wrong order. When I pointed this out, the correct food was brought, but the plate was rudely and forcefully slammed onto the table. I absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant – even if you happen to pass by, please move on. It's truly unbelievable that this restaurant has a Google rating of 4.2. A more realistic rating would be closer to 3.1 – because neither the service nor the taste of the food justify such a high score.

We visited here for the first time today and were thrilled. Very friendly and, above all, fast service. The food was well-seasoned and very tasty. Unlike many other restaurants, the prices are also reasonable. We'd love to come back 😊

A warm welcome, a natural atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. A stay well worth the effort.

It's not easy to run an affordable restaurant in Zehlendorf. This place has been around for a long time, and we're glad it exists!

I enjoy coming here again and again. The food is delicious, as are the cocktails. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I feel very comfortable every time.

Here too, the prices have been adjusted.

Friendly staff . Food quality is what you pay for.

Great value for money, nice service. A bit plain inside, it's better to sit outside in summer

I ate the El Bandito special burger and felt full. Was very tasty.

Very tasty and good food, and you can also get and drink very good cocktails there.

Highly recommended. Good food at reasonable prices.

It's not always easy to find good Mexican food in Berlin, but I decided to give this place a chance since it was in our neighborhood. While it's not perfect, I thought they did a very good job at creating rather authentic Mexican cuisine, and the atmosphere was very casual and relaxing (we sat outside which was nice), and the service was friendly and prompt. My daughters also enjoyed the complimentary strawberry mini smoothies after the meal. I definitely recommend, give it a try!

One of our favorite places for years. Nice friendly restaurateur and his employees. Even our youngest granddaughter always wants to go there because of the cocktails

At these prices, it's clear to everyone that this is convenience food. The food is accordingly mediocre. Positives: On-street parking, affordable prices, friendly service. The restaurant itself is a bit busy and dated. Classic investment backlog.

Delicious, well-seasoned food and fast, friendly service. Good price too.

Food is delicious and plentiful. Friendly service. . Ambiance is a bit old.

We have been loyal El Bandito guests for more than 15 years

You can do it, but there are better Mexicans in Berlin

Very tasty food and nice service. Very good value for money. Great meat quality.

Food: same quality for 20 years. Service: We have it under control Ambiance: could use a bit of a breath of fresh air.

Fast, inexpensive, tasty, friendly, we are there often

Top Essen Top Preis. Top Service

Price performance top. We felt very comfortable

To the dear cyclists who want to eat there, there is a bike rack 🚲 in the driveway but unfortunately you can't park your bike there because the boss is always in the driveway with his car. Note to the boss, maybe leave the car outside in the driveway or put the bike rack at the entrance so that cyclists 🚲 can also come to the restaurant and eat. Another small note to the waiter with the yellow T-shirt, he doesn't understand German. We wanted to have some ice cream after our meal. We tell the waiter with the yellow T-shirt we want the ice cream menu, but he brings it to us the drinks menu😰 so I had to call the waiter to the table again and try to get the menu for the second time and it finally didn't work out

Es war nicht wirklich gut Ziemlich geschmacksneutral es fehlte der Geschmack die Würze Es ist nicht teuer aber dafür bekommt man halt auch nur ein Essen das OK ist nicht mehr Es macht satt

The food didn't seem very tasty, a little bland. The staff is friendly.

There was an unpleasant smell of grease traps when entering the restaurant. The main course was served when the starter had not yet been eaten

Fair prices, good quality and lots of selection. Great👍🏻

I always enjoy coming here, last time the service was a bit behind... The ambience... Well, a matter of taste

In principle everything was good, but the chicken in the burrito seemed completely unseasoned and unsalted, which significantly affected the enjoyment.

Great menu with something for every taste and the price is very reasonable. A visit is 100% worth it

Price performance top 👍 very friendly and fast

Unfortunately the food was inedible. Burrito pollo definitely came from the freezer or microwave. Tasteless and watery. The service staff was very friendly, but after the food was served they didn't even come back to the table to ask if we would like anything else. Too bad

The food tastes delicious and is plentiful. Happy hour cocktails 🍸 great. The prices are not exorbitant.

I used to be a regular guest (sales in 2022: approx. 1,500 EUR). Now the food just doesn't taste the same as it used to. Loveless dishes without taste. My new friend also only eats vegetarian food, so there are just too few tasty things on the menu. So: I'm no longer a regular here. Too bad.

Das Essen war lecker und daran kann ich nichts aussetzen. Aber der Service war nicht gut. Ich habe dreimal nach Wasser für meinen Hund gefragt und nichts bekommen. Meine Apfelschorle die ich auch dreimal bestellen musste, kam aber nach dem dritten Mal. Das Lokal war nicht so voll, dass das die Erklärung gewesen wäre. Auch der Bezahlprozess war sehr mühsam und dauerte extrem lange. Insgesamt habe ich mich als Gast nicht willkommen gefühlt und werde wohl auch nicht wiederkommen. Schade

Our stay was absolutely comfortable, I've always wanted to come here and wasn't disappointed at all, the service was friendly, our food came really quickly and it was definitely delicious and you absolutely can't complain about the prices, it would be for them Nowadays we can even describe it as very affordable and it's definitely not the last time we've been here and we're looking forward to trying the cocktail menu.

Number 73 highly recommended, very tasty tender beef strawberry daiquiri also super cool

Very cheap, but no variety in food

Very tasty food at fair prices. Service is always friendly too. I'd love to come back

We were here again after a long time. The taste was incredibly good. Therefore recommended! We had chili con carne, nachos, burritos and enchiladas. It was well attended, but it could use some renovation/refreshing.

I eat here regularly and will continue to be a guest. Very simple restaurant. Staff always friendly and accommodating. Great way to deal with children. I always eat a rump steak with fried potato wedges and sour cream. Highly recommended. When in season there is also asparagus and hollandaise sauce. Always happy, dear El Bandito team.

Very tasty food at great prices!

Very, very nice here. Good value for money, the service is extremely nice. I definitely recommend it.

We have known this restaurant for a long time! I think it was different owners back then. In the early 2000s we often went there with our coaching colleagues. The funny thing is that almost nothing has changed and it still has the same old charm. The food was delicious and requests for changes were responded to in a friendly manner. Some areas could use some sprucing up, such as going to the toilet. Otherwise we felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. The prices are absolutely fair! Thank you for your friendly service!

Nice restaurant with a Mexican touch, which we have fond memories of since the early 2000s. And we weren't disappointed either. The food is very good, the prices are great and the staff is very hospitable. We can happily recommend the EL-Bandito.

Yummy!!! As always for 15 years. Friendly and quick service, unbeatable prices and simply delicious. Unreservedly recommended

An inexpensive but very tasty restaurant with very nice cellars. Always have a good meal there.

There were 4 of us, all girls. Unfortunately we chose a day when it was a public holiday in Berlin and therefore the restaurant was very full and very loud. But the fact that people queued to even get a seat there speaks volumes. The food was very tasty and the service was also quite quick. Everything went smoothly until we had our food.

. . .nur zu!!! Wir hatten einen Tisch zum Probe-Essen reservieren lassen, um unsere Gäste zu Ostern dorthin einzuladen und hatten uns auf den Abend gefreut. Die üppige online- Speisekarte verspricht so ziemlich alles, was das Genießer- Herz begehrt. So hatten wir schon eine Vorauswahl getroffen. Den ersten Dömpfer gab es schon draußen. . .ungepflegtes Grundstück und die Tür klemmte. Der Vorraum war schmuddelig und als wir die innere Tür öffneten, kam uns ein widerlich stinkender Geruch entgegen. Wir sollten uns an irgendeinen Tisch setzen. . .nichts reserviert für uns. . .kein freundlicher Empfang. Auch im Gastraum war es schmuddelig.(speziell der Fußboden) und laut. Wir waren so schockiert, dass wir noch vor Eintreffen des Kellners das Weite gesucht haben. Billig ist nicht alles!

Despite reservations, we had to wait a long time for our table. Yes, it was busy, but there were enough waiters milling around. After almost 45 minutes we got up and left because not a single waiter took pity on serving us. We were very disappointed.

Food excellent, service friendly, atmosphere clean. Very happy to repeat. 😊

Great food and great staff who take care of the customers, very professional and very attentive, this is the best shop I can recommend to everyone.

The food was really delicious. The restaurant is a few days older and needs an overhaul.

First rays of sunshine - a drink outside.... only with reluctance were we served outside, two beers and two cocktails..... one cocktail (two of the same ones were ordered) had no alcohol at all and the other had twice the amount - that's fine not at all ! The view through the window - there were leftover dishes on several tables - but the staff was too distracted by private conversations to keep order... We used to love coming here for a drink or a meal, but what's going on here now... We would prefer to accept longer journeys in the future...

Not very inviting, the staff doesn't look very clean (no work clothes) that bothered me. Will not recommend the restaurant.

Delicious food. Very nice service

I thought it was so-so. While eating, I bit on a chicken bone that was in the chicken mixture. Sure, it can happen, but I didn't think my front teeth were that nice. The staff wasn't particularly friendly either, perhaps because it was full. Prices are good and cocktails are affordable during happy hour. Ambience wasn't my thing, but that's a matter of taste.

Food was served quickly. satisfactory prices. However, one of the meat dishes was very not good. However, the tacos and enchiladas are very good. Drinks at good prices. nice quiet area, clean. Big portion.

Cheap, delicious food and great service

Dieses Lokal gibt es ja schon seit Jahrzehnten. Deshalb wollte ich ihm heute nochmal eine Chance geben. Hat leider nicht funktioniert. Vorweg ohne Frage, es ist sehr billig. Leider eben auch wirklich billig. Man wird satt, aber einen kulinarischen Hochgenuss darf man hier nicht erwarten. Die 50% ausgewiesene Ermäßigung auf der Speisekarte ist ein guter Verkaufsgag, denn zu den ursprünglichen Preisen wäre das Essen niemals verkauft worden. Die Pommes sind wirklich sehr lecker, aber dafür gehe ich nicht essen. Die Championsoße ist eine MaggiFertigsoße. Wem‘s schmeckt…mir nicht! Die Quesadillas con Pollo sind in der Mikrowelle heiß gemacht und mit gezupftem Hühnchen gefüllt, was geschmacklich und optisch eher an Katzenfutter erinnert. Der Service ist fix und durchaus freundlich! Und da es hier immer voll ist, scheint es ja einige Menschen zu geben, denen es hier schmeckt. Ich werde hier jedenfalls nicht mehr herkommen. Da zahle ich lieber etwas mehr Geld und habe dafür aber auch eine Mahlzeit aus frischen hochwertigen Produkten. Aber jeder setzt halt seine Prioritäten anders.

Immer ein schneller Service und das Essen schmeckt. Alles super

Essen und Preise sind angemessen

Wir haben gut gegessen und wurden schnell bedient.

Verstehe die negativen Bewertungen nicht, el bandito sieht eben genauso aus, wie es auch ist. Gemütlich, ungezwungen, klar, kein high end Restaurant, aber Preis-Leistung ist fantastisch. Das Hüftsteak war sehr lecker und der Service freundlich, jederzeit gerne wieder.

Wie immer haben wir bei El-Badito hervorragend gegessen. Die Preise sind vergleichbar mit ähnlichen Restaurants einfach unschlagbar. Die Portionen sind reichlich und das Essen ist vom Geschmack her sehr gut. Das Personal ist super freundlich und da alles andere auch passt, fühlt man sich hier einfach sehr wohl. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder - wie in all den letzten Jahren auch :-)

Gut und günstig gegessen und getrunken! Mir gefällt der Laden und die Bedienung! Und eine Cocktails Happy Hour gibt es auch.

The food quality is very poor. I had the Mexico Steak and the chili tasted like it came out of a can. The meal was very boring and lacked flavor. My daughter had the vegetarian fajita which she liked but it only came with two tortillas which wasn't enough for the amount of vegetables she had. The waiter was very nice but none of the staff could speak Spanish or pronounce Spanish words correctly which was surprising at a Mexican restaurant. All in all not a good experience. I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Sehr preiswertes mexikanisches Restaurant mit leckeren Cocktails. Das Ambiente hat sich in den letzten 15 Jahren nicht verändert, aber wahrscheinlich können auch nur so die Preise gehalten werden. Freundliche Bedienung, alles in allem ein schöner Abend

Preis Leistung Top Steak auf den Punkt (Medium Rare) Sauber

Wirklich sehr gut für so wenig Geld

Leider war das Personal nicht aus México , sondern aus dem Libanon( denke ich mal) essen war genug aber doch gewöhnungsbedürftig.

Wir gehen dort sehr gerne essen. Kleines und feines Restaurant. Super nettes, freundliches Team dort, Essen ist super lecker und das zu guten Preisen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Etwas anders, aber top. Es ist keine Luxus Location, aber es passt. 5 Jahre lang haben wir das Restaurant besucht. Immer wieder gerne. Es ist zwar kein Luxus Restaurant, das haben wir auch nicht gesucht. Das was wir dort gesucht haben, haben wir immer gefunden. Top, viel Essen und Trinken für einen überschaubaren Preis.

Immer wieder gerne besucht, Essen ist gut, das Ambiente geht so, renovieren wäre mal nötig

Kategorie; kann man machen. Das Essen ist solide. 50 Prozent … große Karte.. Chicken Wings, Nachos, Enchilladas, Quesadillas,Tacos, Burritos.. Steaks.. Salat.. viel Reis.. Standard- Dips.. kurze Wartezeit. Die Bedienung ist freundlich.

Die Getränke brauchten 3 Anläufe, bis die richtigen auf dem Tisch standen. Trotz des dringlichen Hinweises, zwischen Vor- und Hauptspeise etwas Zeit zu lassen, wurde die Hauptspeise 2-3 Minuten nach der Vorspeise serviert. Also praktisch alles zusammen... Besser danach extra bestellen. Das Essen war soweit ok.

Schmuddelig, veraltetes Inventar, verwirrtes Personal. Essen wurde aufgrund dieser Beobachtungen nicht bestellt.

Auf alle Speisen 50 % Rabatte . Ab 18 Uhr Happy Hour auf Cocktails. Die Bedienung sind ganz nett. Wenn man draußen sitzen möchte dann in der quer Straße. Nachos mir Rinderhack Käse überbacken und zweierlei Dip und die Nr. 72 sind zu empfehlen. Parkplätze in der Querstraße vorhanden.

Super Essen und freundliches Personal

Leckeres Essen, coole Cocktails, immer noch günstige Preise.

Sehr leckeres Essen, freundlicher und netter Service. Kommen hier immer wieder gern hin.

Super Service das Essen war auch fantastisch danke nochmal an das Bandito-Team

Schneller Service, freundliches Personal, leider hat es geschmacklich gefehlt. Das Fleisch und die Saucen fehlte der Pep und alles war ziemlich zäh. Konnte uns leider nicht überzeugen.

Immer wieder schön , alle sehr freundlich und leckeres Essen zu Top Preisen, parken auch kein Problem , eine schöne Ambiente und Auszeit vom Herd .

Das El-Bandito war sehr preisgünstig, hat uns aber insgesamt leider nicht so gut gefallen.

Auch wenn man es von außen nicht denkt aber das Essen ist mega lecker. Und die cocktails sind echt der Hammer 🔨 Danke für den super Service und Abend

Seit wir vor ca. 12 Jahren in die Machnower Straße gezogen sind, ist dies unser meist besuchtes Restaurant. Das Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnis finden wir unschlagbar. Die Cocktails sind ebenfalls klasse und das Personal mögen wir auch. Vor allem im Sommer lieben wir es, draußen zu sitzen und Cocktails zu trinken, zumal wir das Glück haben, kein Auto zu brauchen, und so gerne mal einen Cocktail zu viel trinken ;-)

Muss leider auf einen Stern heruntersetzen. Es ist ein Treff von Assozialen geworden. Hier treiben sich mittlerweile nur noch Alkoholiker herum. Die Fahnen von denen riecht man drei Tische weiter. Zudem sind die laut und tun was sie wollen. Die Mitarbeiter tun dagegen gar nix. Die Fleischqualität ist unterirdisch geworden. Zähe Masse, die niemand bezahlen sollte. Aber das fällt den Suffis ja nicht auf. Als ich mich letztens bei einem lautstarken Jugendlichen über seine enorm übermäßig lautstarke Telefonie beschwerte, bekam ich direkt Gewaltandrohung. Den Mitarbeitern war es aber egal. Ich bin absolut enttäuscht, dass der Betreiber so etwas zulässt. Hier wird nicht mehr an den Gast gedacht und an die eigentliche Verpflichtung als Gastronom, sondern nur an schnelles Geld. Eine Schande ist das. Der Chef sollte sich etwas schämen, Derartiges zuzulassen. Bitte schließt den Laden, damit asozialen Alkoholikern mit Gewaltpotential keine lokale Platform mehr geboten wird.
