Authentic Mexican food is still a rarity in Berlin, which is why we raise a cold Corona to
this no-frills canteen where the tortillas are homemade, the salsas pack a pleasant punch and
everything's prepared from scratch using seasonal produce. Menu highlights: the beef tacos
and the chicken chipotle burritos.

Brave the inevitable queue at this famous sausage kitchen, ensconced in the same spot be-
low the elevated U-Bahn track since 1930, but now equipped with a heated pavilion and an
English menu. The 'secret' sauce topping its classic

scale from mild to wild.

W - DER IMBISS

The love child of Italian and Indian cooking, W's signature naan pizza is freshly baked in
the tandoor oven and decorated with such tasty meatless toppings as goats cheese, artichoke

brewery where patrons sit at vintage tables overlooking a gallery space showcasing chan-
ging contemporary art.
