If you want to get tipsy with margaritas (5 euros during the 7-9 PM happy hours) then this is it. Great tacos as well (go on Taco Tuesday). There's also a second Santa Maria in Berlin.
Taco Tuesdays are a big ol' tasty party. No, seriously, if you want a seat, come early. It gets packed. The tacos are street style, the hot sauce is spicy, and the employees are a bunch of babes. Olé!
Santa Maria is a Mexican diner place with a pub feel. It is making a successful approach of staying a step ahead of always-the-same-tasting TexMexrestaurants with handmade tortillas. Read more
Personally,I think it’s one of the bestest Mexican diners in town. Different to others in Berlin, but authentic and always with new delicious meals. Wouldn’t go for taco, but the rest the is great.
Although a bit small, the ambience was lovely for date night. Delicious veggiechorizoquesadillas, and more veggie options too. Fresh guac was yummy. Good cocktails! Had to wait 20 mins for a table.

If you're vegan and starving for a filling meal, recommend the chips and guac and the veggie burrito (without cheese). Don't forget to ask for the habenero sauce!
Burrito with "works" was huge but the starters were too small for the price. In general a good place to hang out for happy hour margarita and a burrito if you can find place!
The food tasted really good but my vegan friend and I got our tacos served to us on the same plate which I felt bad for her about because I had chicken. But apart from that it was lovely
The one thing I can recommend NOT to order is the "Chilaquiles Endiablados" unless you've lost sensitive innervation in your tongue & mouth. Many beggars if you sit outside. Gotta totally come back.
Good spot for a quick bite if you’re in the area. Tacos are abnormally large, but you can two instead of the typical three. Tried the carne asada one and they tasted proper!
Delicious Mexican food. Puerco especial is pretty special, though you're best to skip the small starters. Last visit it was full of American tourists but it usually feels more Berlin (bad timing?)
Awesome margaritas. Try the tacos with the shrimps. The burritos are real good, also huge, but you can't really explore the food that way. Do just go for a series of various tacos and dive deep.
This place is worth tasting and eating. Food can be configured with your need. Only disadvantage when I came was that Mexican bear like desperados and Corona finished, coz in demand.
Taco Tuesday here used to be a favourite of mine but they've definitely gotten smaller and worse quality over time. Lunch specials are still good value for money.
Start with the nachos & salsa & some margaritas. Proceed to the the pork tacos with extra habañero. Repeat. Plan on being cozy in the rain or sit out side in dry weather. Free WiFi. No credit cards. Read more
Good mexican food. When you have to wait for a tabel you can have a drink at the bar. Cheap and good cocktails. Don't order to many dishes at once. The menu on the internet is not up-to-date.
Making tacos for people who have never had real tacos, in a city of 3.5 million with only 3-4 taco restaurants must be dead easy. Just don't ask them if they've ever had real tacos...
Best chicken quesadillas ever. Also the margarita is tops 👌. They did not tell us about last orders though and so we were very disappointed we couldn’t get a second drink/order.
