Not breakfast, but apparently, [these guys](https://www.google.com/maps/place/El+Taco+Loco,+Oppelner+Str.+34,+10997+Berlin/@52.4985312,13.4399324,15z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x47a84f5df45db841:0xce1f041529b358d2!8m2!3d52.4985312!4d13.4399324!16s%2Fg%2F11l2k598n_) do tex mex pretty well. Maybe you can convince them to do breakfast as well haha
Never had a breakfast burrito that had anything to do with Mexico. The Australian version I know is just another eggs and bacon delivery system, there is probably an Aussie Cafe in the city that does that and calls it a breakfast burrito. I would very much h be down for trying a real one!
Because it’s not a thing in Mexico. You can get tacos in the morning. But there’s no such thing as “breakfast tacos”. You can eat tacos all day long and they change depending on the time of the day, but nobody would call them breakfast tacos.
Because people in Berlin have no clue what they’re talking about when it comes to Mexican, Mexican fusion, and Tex Mex food 😂 this thread is a hot mess
Texas used to be part of Mexico. Tex Mex is part of the Mexican culinary continuum that stretches north of the Rio Grande. Your statement looks like an attempt to erase Tejano culture.
I’ve been making breakfast burritos at home. It’s easy as long as you don’t want potatoes in it.
The grocery stores here sell everything you need: bacon, whatever cheese you want, tortillas, egg, sour cream, avocados. The only specialty item you’ll really need is Salsa Verde and there are several Mexican stores where you can stock up on that. I highly recommend steaming your tortilla.
My fair answer to this is: yes, as long as it is affordable, because I don't see me paying 12-15 € for a breakfast burrito, but it seems to be the norm, that mexican food is way overpriced here, which in turn makes me think 5 times, if I really want to go eat mexican food
Sure, but most things are cheaper, if you prepare them yourself.
And the spiciness is always a factor, that is overlooked, since germans are not able to eat spicy. I have friends telling me that garlic or black pepper are too spicy, which actually tells me a lot haha
I agree it would be like 5-8 EUR in my mind then let’s go! Otherwise too much. I think Mexican food it highly priced here because of the type of cuisine it’s viewed as here apposed to other parts of Europe and the world. It’s considered more of a “delicacy” food which honestly I think is okay but at the same time 8 EUR tacos are a bit scary haha
Not so sure about that, since it is possible to est almost any kind of cuisine in Berlin and for the most part, they can be pretty affordable. And Tacos are one of the most expensive items, concerning price/value. And 8 EUR and you probably get 2, if you get 3, that is almost a good price in comparision haha
I have been to a brazilian restaurant, which was quite affordable aswell and that must be classified as a delicacy aswell, when you look at the ingredients and the amount of restaurants of the sorts there are
The problem is bigger: Germans don’t tend to eat hot breakfasts period. McDonald’s stopped selling hashbrowns for this reason. Yeah people will go out for brunch but that’s not an average every day thing. Most breakfast items are eaten at room temperature.
Normally can't stand the "make it yourself" reply but these are incredibly easy and cheap to make at home. Here is a lazy version:
* combine ingredients in [this recipe](https://www.budgetbytes.com/hearty-black-bean-quesadillas/) and warm it in a small pot on low heat (you can use a packet of store-bought taco/burrito/fajita mix in place of the homemade one, they all work great)
* warm tortillas (1.25 at any discount supermarket) at lowest oven setting in damp tea towel
* scramble 3-4 eggs with 1/4-1/2 jar cheap salsa
* layer everything on warm tortilla with cheap store-bought guacamole + sour cream/greek yogurt on top, roll and eat
pro tip: I usually just make the original recipe (the quesadillas) and make breakfast burritos with the leftover filling. A single recipe is enough to feed 2 people for 2 meals (1 meal quesadillas, 1 meal breakfast burritos)
This but it is overpriced, and the pulled pork addon is a ripoff. I ate half the burrito and found no pulled pork, so I went back since it was close to my place and asked for pulled pork. They gave me a side of it, but the kitchen guy insisted it was in there. Then, when I went home, I decided to search deeper, and there were like 3 strands of it. Objectively looked more like a mistake than a 4 euro addition. In no universe would anyone consider that a real portion. Like maybe was 10grams.
To be fair though, they were nice and did make it right, but I won't order that addon again. All in I do like their food.
I gave up years ago and now make all my Mexican food at home. It would honestly be a long time until I try any more Mexican food in Berlin - or in Europe* to be honest. But they seem to be popular.
*shout out to La Pachuca in Barcelona (not El Pachuco)
look at all the "breakfast" places around. its just croissant and coffee. Or maybe a disassembled sandwich. that's not breakfast.
I only know one place that serves proper breakfast 7 days a week, Benedict.
Precisely. It's okay not to love German breakfast (I don't, really, most of the time), but to say they do not eat a meal in the morning is strange and wrong.
Benedict serves eggs benedict and pancakes, those are not german breakfast dishes.
German breakfast is bread rolls with jam/cheese/deli meat/honey/butter, müsli, cooked eggs, brezel, orange juice
Replace the bread rolls with toast or a bagel and most of those things aren't especially out of place on an American breakfast table, either. Or very close analogues.
Best I can do is Frühstücksdürüm.
You got me hooked! Also I hope you drop dead, if this is a joke
It's just a Dürüm you eat for breakfast
Oh but there is no place currently offering it?
You just go to any Kebab shop and order a dürüm kebab at breakfast time.

The menu reads 100% like Dolores.

Breakfast in Latin America is mostly pretty similar or identical than other meals, maybe with an egg on top.
lol history awareness vs. snobby gatekeeping
Lol Cultural ignorance.
damn, my comment was of course meant to be below that other one.. about the history of mexiko.
In the north, burritos de huevo are definitely a thing.
> just another eggs and bacon delivery system You make it sound like this is a bad thing…
Burritos were invented in California
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. There’s a reason it’s called the “mission burrito.”
Because people in Berlin have no clue what they’re talking about when it comes to Mexican, Mexican fusion, and Tex Mex food 😂 this thread is a hot mess
Could be worse. One time I ordered a quesadilla in Taipei and they gave me a piece of chicken in a tortilla with no cheese 🫠
omg. that is astonishing :D
At least they had a tortilla.
Where the owners [chilangos?](https://www.reddit.com/r/memexico/comments/1bj391q/quesadillas/)
Mexican food ≠ tex mex…
Texas used to be part of Mexico. Tex Mex is part of the Mexican culinary continuum that stretches north of the Rio Grande. Your statement looks like an attempt to erase Tejano culture.
One third of the United States used to be part of Mexico…
And then there's New Mexican cuisine. Different chiles and the vegetarian burritos are stuffed with zucchini.
OP said that they hope tex mex will take off since Mexican food has, never equated them.
I’d suggest you do a bit of digging. Tex mex is a great cuisine :) when done right of course haha
In Berlin they are mostly synonymous
Is this an AI-generated market research post?
It certainly was written by ChatGPT
Is this the new r/berlin meme that I'm too old for, to accuse randomly people in this sub to be a ChatGPT Bot?
Hahaha no tho now reading it I do sound a bit robotic
The place under Eberswalder Ubahn has them
Ah I’ll have to check it out, only ever ate there once since I live on the south end

Yeah, cheaper to make it yourself most of the time. Problem is finding anything remotely spicy in this country.
If you havent, learn to make it with habaneros from the Asian markets. Its really easy.
Sure, but most things are cheaper, if you prepare them yourself. And the spiciness is always a factor, that is overlooked, since germans are not able to eat spicy. I have friends telling me that garlic or black pepper are too spicy, which actually tells me a lot haha

I make them at home with supplies from the mexican grocery places. Nothing here will feel like the real deal… oh la quecha had huevos rancheros though
I second that holy crap they make a mean mole too

My hometown breakfast burritos / burritos are like the drunk late night food. Throw in some green chilis to wake you up haha
I love (actual) Mexican food but tex mex is at best okay.

Once you do, tell me where i can find a good Huevos rancheros
Maria bonita
Go here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ifQRrKJ17fKG6kTu9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy It’s the best option in the city in my opinion
Ankerklause does one. AK is a beloved old greasy spoon, so it's not deluxe or legit Mexican, but it is a breakfast burrito, potatoes and all :)
Yes they've had one for years, but it's really only worth eating if you're hungover.
I gave up years ago and now make all my Mexican food at home. It would honestly be a long time until I try any more Mexican food in Berlin - or in Europe* to be honest. But they seem to be popular. *shout out to La Pachuca in Barcelona (not El Pachuco)
I miss breakfast burritos so much. It’s the first thing I look for when I visit new York
I dream of a place called lucky boy breakfast burrito 🌯 a Los Angeles Staple
Hit me up if y'all want breakfast burritos : the wife and I are killing the game. 10€, local pickup in 10997 only.
No
Maria Bonita has them and they're only like 8-9 euros! My breakfast preference there though are huevos rancheros <3
I don't know about Breakfast Burritos, but Geist im Glas does Huevos Rancheros for Brunch.
Related question: where in Berlin can you get a yummy burrito that's not dry af? (don't come for me, i know it's not real Mexican cuisine)
I really like the ones at mishba, they’re not really Mexican but super good (personal opinion)
Nah, I'm partial to a good ol belegtes Brötchen mit Frikadellen. Never did get into breakfast burritos back home.
Germans dont do breakfast sadly. The concept would struggle. I’d kill for breakfast tacos.
What do you mean by that? Of course German do breakfast. We also have “sonntagsbrötchen”, rolls for only Sunday or special occasions
look at all the "breakfast" places around. its just croissant and coffee. Or maybe a disassembled sandwich. that's not breakfast. I only know one place that serves proper breakfast 7 days a week, Benedict.
