If you look for a place to have breakfast or just a coffee to go - Café at Marla is the place for you. The beverages are fantastic - the devil is in the detail: Every coffee is grinded and extracted for you. But the real deal is the food. If you are into mexican food, you're going to have a blast - EVEN or ESPECIALLY if you are Mexican. The chilaquiles are fantastic. The tacos are absolutely amazing - Jalisco style. There is even vegan tacos - which are an absolute recommendation. Tacos de Barbacoa están brutales weiii. I'd give ten stars to the place, but I only can give 5. I hate Berlin, but if I ever have to go there again, I'll only eat at Café at Marla. That's for sure.

So hard to find real Mexican tacos out of Mexico or LA but here in Berlin I took these amazing homemade food with a real delicious Michelada. Sharing a picture to prove how good the tortillas and the guiso look like. Feels like being back with my abuelita in Guerrero (Mexico). This cozy place also have “Pan de Muertos” for the coffee moment and a huge vinyl record store in the back of the place… TOP ????????????????

Great tacos, unique vibe, and very friendly. Me and my girlfriend are always on the hunt for authentic tacos in Berlin and were really impressed by this place. Not just tacos the food (some of the more authentic tacos in Berlin. A little pricey but typical for Berlin), but the entire venue is super unique. They had a dj inside with people dancing at noon, the owner was really kind and even gave us a free corn bread muffin, and there’s even a listening vinyl store in the back. Everyone was also extra friendly (not something you always find when dining in Berlin), which made it extra nice. This would make for a great date spot. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!
