¡Dios mío! With restaurants like Santa Cantina, Mexican food in Berlin is entering Phase Three of its evolution. Bye-bye burrito! Your carb-on-carb, I-suddenly-need-to-fall-asleep kiss will be missed.

In Oaxaca, Mexico they say that mezcal doesn’t make you drunk, it makes you magical. Has anyone ever said the same about Berliner Luft? Berlin’s drink of choice changes every few years.

If I were to ask you: what are the two best things to come out of Mexico? It’d be natural to answer a) cocaine and b) Antonio Banderas. But those answers are wrong (and slightly racist). I’ve come to learn that the correct answers are Tequila and Mezcal, and Friedrichshain’s Santa Maria Eastside is the … Read more Santa Maria Eastside for Berlin’s Best Mexican Cocktails

Santa María Eastside: Organic, Handmade Tortillas and Premium Mezcal Setting a New Standard for Mexican Restaurants in Berlin

by
MARIA-SANTA

My search for an authentic mexican restaurant in Berlin has been a hard one, so when my flatmate first told me about a new mexican restaurant opening just two blocks away from my place, I couldn’t help but picturing the usual bean/rice burrito joint that dares to call itself authentic. However, when he told me … Read more Santa María Eastside: Organic, Handmade Tortillas and Premium Mezcal Setting a New Standard for Mexican Restaurants in Berlin
