Pancho-Villa Cantina — Restaurant in Berlin

Went here with a friend and honestly, it was a real letdown. The meat tacos weren’t cold, but they weren’t warm either—just kind of lukewarm and underwhelming. No sauce, nothing to pull the flavors together, and the presentation was unappetizing.

One positive is the staff is friendly and attentive.

My friend got the veggie mix, and some of the tacos were literally just cactus fruit and onions in juice—maybe even canned. No sauce, no sour cream, no cheese—nothing to balance or enrich the flavors.

What surprised me most was that one meat taco was basically repeated in another, just with a few strange-tasting chips on top. For something that’s supposed to be a “variety,” it felt lazy and repetitive.

We paid 15€ per person, and on top of that, if you want cheese on your tacos, it’s an extra 1€ per taco, which felt excessive considering what you’re getting.

I’ve had really good tacos in other places, so it’s frustrating when the response to criticism is, “Well, that’s how they taste in Mexico.” That just feels dismissive—especially when the food clearly lacks balance, care, and flavor.

I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews, but I really wouldn’t recommend this place based on...

As a mexican living here for 3 years, who tried most of the taquerias and Mexican restaurants in Berlin, now this place has been my go to since months, and I can confidently say it offers the best real Mexican food in the city. (Meaning that this place don’t offer “Burritos” or the typical TexMex food most of the Mexican places in Berlin try to sell as mexican). From the moment I walked in, the warm hospitality made me feel as though I had been transported straight to Mexico.

I could recommend everything as it has even vegan options, but my favorite are undoubtedly the chilaquiles and tacos de carnitas with chicharron.

Equally impressive were the micheladas. Simply the best I’ve had!

The owners and the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend dishes and explain the rich culinary traditions behind them.

For anyone in Berlin looking to indulge in the best chilaquiles, micheladas, and tacos, Pancho Villa is a must-visit. It’s more than just a meal; it’s an authentic cultural experience that celebrates the vibrant and diverse cuisine of Mexico. Highly...

The tacos were good but in my opinion there is still a lot to do to reach the 5 stars .

very limited menu with only two toppings to choose from: either carnitas or nopales -overpriced for the variety on the menu mentioned above -feels more like a take a way place than a cantina .. the spot in xberg is really privileged so it could be really nice with more Mexican folkor decoration perhaps ( I hope this is consider in the future) but for now maybe add some mezcal to the drinks menu .. it wouldn’t hurt to make the people want to stay longer :)) since the place is really new I would suggest to have some promos … like when the waitress suggested to follow them on the social media give a 2x1 in tequila shots .. or one taco for half a price I idk. I know the place is new and the service was very welcoming but I wanted to give my honest opinion for...
