Macondo in Berlin

Great bar, drinks delicious and food great too. I recommend the Yucca Fries 🍟

The food is amazing, delicious breakfast, properly colombian.

The food was delicious 😋 the breakfast of arepa with eggs pericos and the chocolate was very good! The only thing I would recommend is that upon arrival clients receive them with a warm greeting :)

Arrogant and aggressive waiter. It's a shame, the place has potential but they treat you badly.

Cozy place, nice Latin music, our hot chocolate and the nachos were really good and the waiter who works there is an absolute gem! Super friendly and welcoming! We came after the kitchen had closed on a Saturday night and he still managed to make us nachos! Really appreciated!! Totally recommended this place!! 😊

Very friendly, you can pay with card or cash, they know very well the price is fair and the place is easy to get to.

Nice place with good overpriced food and terrible, terrible, terrible service. It seams like they hire rude passive-agressive people on purpose. I've been there few times because friends like it, and every time they are worse then the time before.

Super site, super friendly service! Delicious food and wonderful drinks!!!!

Perfect for a drink and I encourage you to try the Colombian snacks, they are very tasty.

...wenn unfreundlich cool ist, der coolste Laden am Boxi! A waitress who doesn't look at the customers, who gets angry for not understanding German, instead of apologizing. I have known the cafe since it opened, good place, the waitress was out of place.

Tastiest food, great atmosphere. Love it.

I enjoy going to macondo a lot, the food is great and it has a nice vibe!!

Amazing brunch place with super friendly staff. My first choice when it comes to hanging out in Boxi.

The shop, food and drinks were super good. Nice ambience, delicious drinks and tasty food. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the service: orders forgotten, wrong invoice, unfriendly...

Amazing colombian food. Have gone back a couple of times

The best Latin food in Berlin. It took me a while to find it, the information of its existence came to me late. I am Venezuelan in Berlin and I am a food lover from my continent. This place is THE BEST. The tasting tray is one of my passions now. I am Addicted. 100 points!

Right next to Boxi Platz, great place to chill and have a drink. We had brunch on the weekend here, the chilaquiles with chicken was amazing. I had some issues with the first plate, they fixed it right away and prepared a new plate with extra chicken for me.

On a hot summer evening, we made a reservation for 5 at Macondo. It was around 8pm when we arrived and the barmaid showed us our table in a very friendly manner. To our surprise it wasn’t a regular table, but 3 sofa’s with a large coffee table in between, super cosy! We started with some cocktails, which were all skilfully made and tasted great. Following up we ordered nachos’s and a large fingerfood plate containing empanada’s, some sort of fries, fried banana and a whole lot more. A lot of it was fried and a bit greasy but it all tasted great. I especially liked the empanada with meat. We ended the night with some arepas, which are like Mexican pitas. There was a lot of choice in toppings, so we took a few different ones. The ones with meat were all stacked, definitely great for its price. The beef one tasted the best, followed by the chicken (most refreshing one after a warm day) and the one with pork (very nice sweet potato filling, would work great in winter). We had a great time at Macondo and will definitely be back for cocktails & fingerfood!

The Colombian owner was super disrespectful. He insulted us by shouting even though we just wanted to have something in his restaurant.

Very nice place, authentic and generous Colombian lunch. Decorative music and atmosphere +++

Super nice, cozy bar. The drinks were very good and the waitress was very friendly.

Unusual and quite cozy bar, with some good and bad sides. I liked the interior, but a lot of people smoke by the "outside" tables which are really not separated from the "inside" at all if the weather is warm and windows are open, so the place may stink, and it seems normal there just as everywhere in Berlin. Food selection is very basic and brunches are only till 3 p.m. (not sure if there's any food later) It's quite expensive but nothing exceptional for a "hip and touristy" area like that. The taste was alright. Also you might be unsure what to expect if you're a European who isn't familiar with South American food, so for me it was pretty much a random choice. The woman at the bar was really nice and sweet.

Delicious food and delicious drinks. Unfortunately very bad service. The waiter (German) spoke to us in German, but as soon as he was spoken to in fluent German (!) by the only person at the table who looked rather non-German, he answered her in English. What's that supposed to mean? Our food and drink were also forgotten several times and had to be ordered several times, which made the waiting times incredibly long. In the end drinks were charged several times and we were not believed that we had less than what was charged. After the third discussion, the staff acknowledged and apologized.

What a delicious Colombian dish :) Great recommendation

Unfortunately service was subpar. We had to order our food 3 times because it was forgotten twice by the same waitress. In total we had to wait over an hour in a half-full shop. Same with the drinks. Every drink except the first had to be ordered twice. It's a shame, because the drinks and food were really great. Maybe just a bad service day. It was the first time that we didn't want to leave a tip. I still give it 2 stars because the bartender was nice and had a hard time replacing the waitress in the end.

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is very pleasant but the service is average, if the consumer does not like something, it is better to pay and not say anything so that they do not get upset.

Food was super nice. We ordered a ‘picada’ mix to share, only thing is that you can not choose the type of empanadas that comes with it, and I wasn’t fan of the ones that I’ve got (cheese and spinach). But the rest was amazing, delicious. Service can definitely be improved, waitresses was kind of rude.

Super tasty cocktails, good Colombian food, great atmosphere, love it Great Colombian restaurant bar, cool atmosphere, Sebastian the owner is a real sweetie, great cocktails and delicious food, highly recommended

Service was not very friendly. There is no need to treat the guests as children. Still the food was good.

Pretty thitty almoast everything but!!! a secret that hardly anyone knows about the bar is: if you ask the long-haired bartender for a „Mexicaner“ shot, you get a special drink for free. Take this one on me 🙌

Best drinks and awesome service

Great cocktails, great ambience, nice service! I really enjoy going! :-) I always let the cocktail menu tempt me to have a drink and eat a mixed platter for 2!

Horrible, bad service. They don't speak German, they made the wrong order and still treated us rudely. A shame because the food is good.

Great place. Feels like being in a bar in Colombia and not like a Colombian restaurant abroad which are always just for eating and leaving. This was nice for a change. Great staff, picada and finger food plus very well prepared cocktails.

Great atmosphere, nice staff, everything perfect

Cozy bar where we also enjoyed a very generous snack platter. Can't judge it but seemed authentic to me.

Super cozy atmosphere, excellent drinks prepared by Martin which is an extremely nice person! Nice staff and very cool decorations. Try the Moscow Mule and Old fashion 😉

Had a great time here hanging out for dinner and a drink. We sat inside near the terrace with open window doors. Inside there’s a really nice vintage set up of old cozy chairs and tables. Service was very friendly and quick. Lots of gluten free Latin American options which were awesome and tasted great. Had the nachos, yucca fritta and empanadas. Great value for money. The area around the restaurant is also very nice to explore. Mezcal mule cocktail was interesting but there was too much sweet syrup in it.

Super nice service, the shop is very cute and cozy and the drinks and food are just so delicious!!

Very Authentic Colombian place, amazing Colombian food, taste exactly like the original!! Amazing vibe and sexi workers😏😏

4.40 for beef empanada (insane. Scam) 20 minutes waiting for coffee when the place is not even full. We decided to leave. If you want Colombian food go to Mecato instead. I don’t recommend Macondo at all.

The juices and dips are simply delicious, you can feel the Colombian flavor, highly recommended

There were no stalls, he still let us have Colombian food accompanied by a delicious German beer.

not good drinks unfriendly colombian guy

The vibe, the food, the drinks are just great. I wish they had more seats inside during winter but I guess less is more. Never fails to put a smile on my face

A wonderful place. Delicious food even though the choice is not that wide. Cool interior and friendly staff.

Just stopped by for a drink in the evening. The service was good and the drinks were pretty nice too. It has a cool vintage decor that I liked.

Unfriendly service in the world. Looks after you shaking his head because he didn't get the tip he expected. No matter what we did, people would roll their eyes and shake their heads. You really felt comfortable there.

Worst service in Berlin! Too bad because the food and live music were great. We were served by a super rude and arrogant guy in Spanish. When I arrived I saw that it says Cash only, I wanted to ask if that was because there was a minimum payment to be able to pay with a card as happens in many places, I don't finish making the sentence to which the boy responds "if it says cash only it's because It's cash only, apparently you don't know what it means in English. He served us super rude and arrogant to take our order and almost threw things on the table at us. Super unpleasant, if you don't like customer service, look for another job. Good day

The worst service in my stay in Berlin. Because of how they serve, it seems like they're kicking you out.

Delicious breakfast ✨ The empanadas are the most delicious in all of Berlin ✨ and the service is very friendly and sweet 🍀

I felt intimidated at first, a lot of chill places are not really chill, but the staff was so nice really took their time to cater to us and that's a great sign of good work culture. Best place to unwind

Delicious empanadas, homemade nachos and comfortable seating. Mostly relatively full.

Spontaneously sat outside in the sun today. Ate super tasty chorizo ​​with avocado, service was very nice, as it was busy, it took longer. Nice atmosphere inside, definitely recommended

Great shop, cozy atmosphere, delicious food, funny and good-looking owners, delicious drinks, recommended,

The ambience is great. Super cozy. The food delicious. The service has improved significantly over the last year. Therefore a star for that. The Aperol Sour is fantastic.

First of all - the service staff was great, nice, friendly and tried hard. It definitely deserves 5 stars. Thanks for the great service! In my opinion, the (new) owner/boss of the shop didn't work at all. I had reserved a table for two people, when I got there there were a few other (in my opinion nicer) tables available and I asked if I could sit somewhere else - no. When I asked, puzzled, why not, there was only one "where is the problem?" - and yes, I actually didn't understand that either. He also said that theoretically there could be more people sitting at the other tables - which I understand, of course: But: there were other people who came after me, sometimes only two, who of course also sat down at larger tables because they didn't have reservations were. Ah yes... The food - we had the large platter - is quite good, as are the drinks - everything is reasonably priced - but I won't be seen there again because of the "nice welcome". It's a shame because I liked the atmosphere there, but times change.

It‘s a very nice place to grab a drink or get some food. Amazing atmosphere. Like it a lot!

The best Colombian site you can find. I recommend it 100%

Nice atmosphere and nice service.

The service and the food were great

We tried the Grande Picada and it was delicious it's a great way to try all the dishes on the menu. It was very filling for the two of us. It can be shared by 2 or 3 people. Would definitely recommend this platter if you are here to try different Latin American food. The Irish coffee wasn't so good but the hot chocolate with Bailey's was amazing.

Macondo! Lovely place with a cozy vibe, really friendly staff (thanks Trini), tasty snacks, good music and yummi drinks (try the espresso martini!). We go here everytime we are in Berlin, it is the perfect hangout spot both summer and winter, and right next to Boxhagener Platz. See you next time!

Great atmosphere, delicious food. Comfortable armchairs to relax in!

Delicious. Large platter makes 2 people extremely full and tastes good!

Terrible service, they are rude to the costumers, I have been here about 10 times EVERY SINGLE TIME they have been rude.

++ Good snack and lunch food, good coffee, good alcohol. Cosy. Dedicated smoking area. -- Slow service

Food very good, the caipirinha is said to be worth €9.20, you get a mini glass, three quarters full, with a homophatic number of limes, see photo. Apparently this is also common in Colombia and the boss would have specified it that way. I therefore considered the €9.20 for a €65 bill as a tip.

The Place is Nice and really cozy a good place for having a drink or eating good colombian food...The empanadas were pretty good

The place is very cool, with a Colombian touch (the name and the very friendly owner, the typical foods, adding sauce), but also very Berlin. Good picadita, good pisco sour. The Argentine waiter was super friendly, very good service. Thank you TOTALS! ^^

Very nice. Always my pleasure!!! I can only recommend it.,🤩

Leuke bar in Berlijn. Echt een vintage look. Ze hebben niet veel variatie in wijn, maar wat ze hebben smaakt goed.

Primer lugar que voy apenas aterrice en Berlín! Mágico :)♡

Very cozy location, nice food and friendly people. Recommended

Super cool atmosphere! One of my favorite stops in Boxi!

Pedí unas empanadas y la verdad es que eran bastante grandes por el precio. La masa era de maíz y eran consistentes. Pedí también arepa rellena de pollo con mahonesa y por el precio que tenía era pequeño. En general el local es bastante tranquilo y cómodo.

Actitud muy estupida el que nos atendio.

Great place. The atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant is really cool, it is not a huge place but it is very cozy and comfortable. The service was good and friendly, and od course the food was great as well. I had their empanadas and their picadera, totally recommend it. The only negative is that it is cash only, wish that werent the case since I dont like carrying cash, hopefully they solve this. I will visit again.

Great food! But the portions are a bit small for the price

Great service from the staff, a place very chill. The big platter with food has a little bit of almost everything in the menu, and 2-3 people can share and be full. The chorizo and avocado arepa is amazing and highly recommended. The drinks are very well mixed, and the portion is great with the price. Love Macondo, it has real Latin American food and vibes!

This is a nice cafe in a pretty cool part of town. I totally recommend the Picada Grande for 2-3 people, it was yummy and big! They only have one person serving tables for the whole place so it could take pretty long just to get their attention.

Gemütlich war es. Schöne Idee mit den Sesseln anstelle der normalen Stühle. Die Empanadas waren köstlich mit dem Aji zusammen und Piscos auch. Sehr nett war die Bedienung. Insgesamt mal etwas anderes.

Amazing lat am brunch with cocktails! Would highly recommend the chilaquiles.

I loved the food! I As a Colombian I was skeptical about a Colombian restaurant in Berlin, but I was wrong, the food was delicious. I Highly recommended the mixed plate and the pisco sour was quite good as well.

Very cozy place, absolutely loved it! The food was good too. Highly recommended for meeting friends or a date.

The food is delicious. The spinach empanadas... 🤤

Terrible service from the owner. Never going back

Terrible trato de los meseros. El ego al tope. Nos gritaron. La comida nunca llegó. Que triste que como latinos tenemos fama de excelente servicio y estas personas te traten asi.

Los cócteles están deliciosos y el ambiente es genial! 100% recomendado!

Gutes Essen in Vergleich zu Preis :)

The food is good and the environment nice BUT and there is a bit but, the service is TERRIBLE they’re understaff and the waiter and waitress are not aware of the orders, they don’t pick up the plates after you finish eating, we ordered 6 plates and only 3 came (at least they didn’t charge them) it took forever to get the food even the drinks ! To pay it was a disaster had to wait like 20 minutes until we decided to got up and pay at the register and had to wait at least 5 minutes more …

This just became my favorite Colombian Restaurant/Bar/Café in Berlin! As a Colombian i loved it! The food was really good! We ordered some snacks to share, the Patacones Chips, the Yucas Fritas and their Empanadas, the perfect combination of fried Colombian snacks with some Beers! And its location is really nice as well, right in front of the park! Their staff was also super friendly, most (or all of them) from Latin America always friendly and smiling! Really really nice place! I have to go back for sure!

Luckily we came during a quiet time on a Sunday while the flea market was in full action. The Milchkaffee was delicious and we shared a Picade grande for two. The food was freshly made and still hot upon arrival, it was amazing. The portion was generous, the sauces made a great combination. Service staff very friendly and attentive. Upbeat salsa music was playing. sofas, armchairs are very cozy.

The service was really bad. We ordered some good and a frappé. We waited for more than an hour to get the frappé, which they apparently forgot to serve, because the ice was mostly melted and the frappé was watered down. We had to wait even longer until the food came. We ordered 2 dishes for 2 people but only got one set of cutlery. The food was alright, nothing to complain about there, but also nothing great to justify enduring all the downsides... The waiter was unapologetic and blamed the tech. I didn't buy it. Not coming back. Edit: Apparently they reported the review, because it wasn't posted due to violation of Google guidelines. I don't see how a very factual review of my experience violates any guidelines, so I'm posting it again. Seems like they are trying to remove bad ratings.

Súper linda gente en la atención, comida deliciosa

Comida colombiana, con excelente presentación y deliciosa. Lugar agradable para comer y/o picar algo y disfrutar una bebida con amigos. Algunos días hay presentaciones de música. Recomendado.

Waiter forgot my juice, we even paid for it. People were smoking outside the window. Food was good. If you want to eat Colombian food, go elsewhere.

Cute, cozy place! Delicious drinks. Service a bit slow but very friendly. Cash only.

That was so yummy!! I loved the brunch plate with mini arepas (so cute!) and delicious empanadas. The staff is also very lovely and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

Sehr rustikales Restaurant mi leckerem Essen.
