Usually, especially Before Chipotle, local takes were fun & often strange - like the gouda & curried chicken burrito in Holland, 1996. But the Germans ... they don't mess around. 2018 I was astonished accidently finding "SF Burrito Company" in Köln. My brain blew a fuse. And the burritos were absolutely outstanding in every possible way. Went there dozens or times. Took my first born there, who was raised on Bay Area burritos. Wow! Then I learned SF taquerias were all over Deutschland. Maybe I should relocate ... Sadly, SF Burrito Co in Köln did not survive Covid. But cologne has other taquerias making magnificent burritos (to be reviewed later). I'd spotted Berlin's Dolores on previous trips but had not tried for a variety of reasons. Enter 2024 and in town with my youngest son (also raised on burritos). I was so excited to try Dolores. But truly saddened by the food experience. I grade burritos on a local curve. And by German standard, Dolores gets 3 stars max. It's basically blander than Chipotle. I'm so let down by the experience, I can't even describe it. I'll start either the Quesadilla as my burrito PTSD is just too strong to reflect on it. The chicken quesadilla was awful. Chicken and tortilla texture felt as if they were both prepared in a microwave. Rubbery chicken that was extremely dry inside. Zero crispness to the tortilla. Next to no cheese. And way too much cilantro on the chicken. And a side of mushy pico de gallo. I'm almost crying in shame reflecting on what a quesadilla from the Mission is compared to this. Ugh. The burrito. Got their house Pork special. Said it was Carnitas. For some reason, it took over 15 minutes to get to us - not a problem but bizarre as they had a burrito assembly line running. Anyway, it was very flabby in construction. No tension in the tortilla to hold it together. And the tortilla was mushy. Not properly steamed or crisped on the grill. The pork was very nice. A highly spiced pulled pork. Definitely not anything like carnitas. I do not believe it was fried or braised. A very low proportion of meat to rice. And the rice ... way too much Cilantro. Texture OK. But soapy cilantro from the rice practically overpowered the pork. Beans - refried which was a nice surprise. They were pretty OK . No cheese. A tiny amount of sour cream. Had a hot salsa in it. But was hardly noticeable and not even hot. Basically, a burrito that was a so-so copy of Qdoba or Chipotle. So sad. So very sad. The dining experience - the place was packed on a beautiful Saturday. A Line spilling out to the street. Nowhere to sit inside or outside. It was wonderful seeing so many couples and families enjoy an SF burrito experience ... I am thankful or this.

I notice a few people mention the "mean waitress" or "loudmouth waitress."…read more You people are all wrong. She was a firebrand but also the best thing about that restaurant. As I was getting up after finishing my meal the first time I went there, she also barked at me, "Hey you, clean your dishes!!" to let me know that I should collect my dishes and deposit them by the bar where you order. I remember feeling confused and wondering what I had done to earn her scorn. I also watched her chew people out who had a snippy tone when they placed their orders. She was at times a drill sergeant of a waitress.... but by being a relaxed and friendly person, it was not hard to earn her trust and land on her good side. And it was worth it to do so because she made the best damn margaritas in Kreuzberg. About six months ago she moved to Madrid I believe and sadly Ta Cabron hasn't been quite the same since. The enchiladas verdes are still fine but somehow different, The chicken seems different, something subtle has changed, and just isn't what it used to be. And don't get me started on the margaritas... they still serve them, and they are fine, but they are just plain old margaritas now. They don't have that magic. That pizzazz. These days, I don't really visit Ta Cabron much. Only once in a while to see if things might have turned around. I remember fondly now though how it was towards the end. She'd spot me and give me a smile and I'd get to the head of the line and she'd chat a little -- as the bustling throng of hungry patrons waited eagerly behind me in line, desperate to place their order -- and she would ask me how my day was. If people got too impatient or fidgety while she was telling me about what was new with her she'd bark a firm command at them them to chill - and then, light a light switch - finish whatever she was saying to me in a friendly tone. She was sort of Basil Fawlty meets the Soup Nazi, but with the frame and accent of a fiery Latina. I miss her.

Really now, Germany? I should've probably known better than to get a burrito in this country…read morewithout doing extensive Yelp research beforehand, because döner is definitely king here. And if the döner joints on every corner didn't tip me off, the fact that the burrito I got at Taquería Ta'Cabrón looked more like a döner or some sad wrap with a dollop of salsa on it definitely did. Maybe the quesadillas or margaritas are passable, but my burrito was so pathetically wrapped that I've sworn off a return visit. In other words, everyone knows that a burrito's ingredients should at least be completely enclosed inside the tortilla... or whatever inauthentic tortilla substitute you end up using. C'mon, Ta'Cabrón. No partial credit. Because of the poor construction, the ingredients were poorly distributed throughout the entire burrito and each bite was a bland surprise. At €7.20, it's a bit pricier than a burrito at Dolores, but I'd go to Dolores over Ta'Cabrón any day.

It's Tex-Mex, though presumably the German version, as it was nothing your average American would recognise - and note that the burgers are actually sandwiched between tortillas rather than buns. Portions are generous for the price, and our meal of nachos with cheese, sour cream and guacamole followed by a burrito and two burgers, with a beer each, and s tip came to just under €50 for three. All the food was freshly cooked and tasty. Service was very friendly and helpful and a kitchen error with our order was picked up and sorted without us having to point it out. The main problem was the speed of the kitchen - or rather, the lack of it. We were served reasonably quickly, but as soon as it got busy, other tables had to wait longer, and one couple gave up after 40 minutes. So, I'd happily go there again, but others may have had a different experience. Go early or during quieter periods, unless you're happy to wait. Update December 2018: another good meal, under €25 for two including beers, and this time with (much) faster food service.
