Santa Maria

Mexican restaurant in the center of the colorful neighborhood of Kreuzberg. Didn't have a reservation on a Saturday night but we were lucky to find a table without waiting that long. The personnel is nice and friendly, the service was a bit slow since the place was packed. The food is very good and fresh made. The open air kitchen is a bit weird but original. Will definitely recommend it!

The management changed (but kept the name) and, sadly, the quality changed for the worst too. I used to come here from the other side of Berlin, just for the tacos and the nachos, after yesterday experience I would never come back. Chicken tacos where tasteless pieces of meat and cold, the beef Barbabacoa a bit better, but nothing special. The nachos were the most disappointing, nothing comparable to the previous. I am sure the business will survive, since it is popular, it’s just sad.

one of the better taco places i’ve tried in Berlin. service was super friendly and a great drink selection of margaritas to pair

I enjoyed the food and service is great.
Not the most authentic mexican restaurant in Berlin but it’s good for a quick lunch/dinner.

Me (Swedish) and my Mexican friends were here normally every weekend since 8 years back. It was high quality Mexican food, best margaritas in town. Since the change of owner it has gone worse in quality of food, atmosphere, no Mexican music, tasteless food and it has gotten over priced.
I am sad to say, that I will not return to this lovely restaurant. It’s not the same.
Thank you for all the years to the old owners!

The food was very good. They were sold out of One of the tvinges We ordered, but the One we got instead was super.
The atmosphere was great and the service was fast.

Made plans specifically to go for Taco Tuesday with a friend for cheap tacos. Checked on the website and “Taco Tuesday (2€/taco)” is advertised on the homepage. Arrived and apparently Taco Tuesday is not a thing anymore since over one year…so I had to pay full price (10€/3 tacos). The food was sadly not good and not worth the price, didn’t taste fresh, meat was tough and just tasted “bad”. I should have checked the recent reviews. The team was nice and the food came quick, hence the 2 stars.

Please update your website with correct information or delete the link. It’s very frustrating to make the effort to check the website when making plans, to be sure, and then only find out after arriving that actually the website is out of date since over one year…This place used to be good with tasty food but seems to have really gone down. There are nicer restaurants in the area with better food for a lower price.
