3 Best Restaurants in Germany

Some of Frankfurt's best Mexican cuisine is found in this festive little place. Warm and colorful, this restaurant serves a variety of fruity margaritas and is well known for its extensive selection of tequilas and mezcals, along with regional wines and beers. The dimly lighted dining room is fairly small; reservations are recommended on weekends.

This Mexican restaurant is an unassuming space on Prenzlauer Berg's Danziger Strasse. The young owners (hailing from Texas and Australia) had different ideas of what Mexican food could be, but shared one dream: to bring the authentic cuisine to Berlin. They succeeded, as fans will attest, and the hot sauce is satisfyingly hot in a country known for sensitive taste buds and blandly spiced dishes. The margaritas, made with mezcal, are particularly good—and quite potent.

This local favorite has the distinction of serving authentic Mexican food in the heart of St. Pauli and does not take reservations. Complete with Spanish-speaking staff and an atmosphere that asks nothing from street eateries in Mexico, this restaurant is so popular that the good mood of staff and diners alike spills onto the streets. It is hugely popular with both locals and expats.
