"I haven’t written anything about our favorite restaurant, the “Santa Fe Tex Mex” in Dresden for 10 months. It'll be time again. Santa Fe Tex Mex Dresden In the long time, we were sometimes fixed to dinner when we were in the city. But today, Sunday, the domestic refrigerator was empty, and no one had appetite for cut meat with salad and lots of garlic sauce in a dough bag. Since my wife has been pushing back to Tex Mex for some time, I had ordered a table for the evening. When it went to Dresden in the evening and I indicated where it was going, there were bright faces. Suddenly for me as a driver, I hadn't considered the pre-Christmas period, and the Striezelmarkt is just a few meters from the Tex Mex. This made it very difficult to dispose of the mobile underset penalty-free. When we were able to do this, we went to the restaurant on foot. Luckily we had reserved a table, because apparently many others came to the idea, and the restaurant was full. As always, we were kindly received with a fleeting spell and brought to our table. You know what you mean. I don't need to write anything about the restaurant myself here today, nothing has changed. Guest room Usually we know the menu quite well, but today she had a new layout, and partly also new dishes. All right. So we had to study the map again. What was positive, the prices had not changed. Great. Extract from the menu Our drinks were fast fixed. Since my girls love the cocktails here, I forgot my beloved Duckstein, which is very rare from the barrel in Dresden. For example, we ordered drinks: · 1x 0,33ér Heineken Pilsner alcohol-free for 4,10 € · 3x Cocktail Casanova – with vodka, grenadine, lime, mint, cane sugar and maracujanectar for 8,50 € · 3x cocktail flaying Mexican – with white rum, vodka, vanilla syrup, cream and pineapple for each 8,50 € In the meantime, however, the dishes had to be found. After not even five minutes, our drinks were at the table. The cocktails as always strong and really good. I'm sure my girls could handle more. I was pleased with the alcohol-free heineken, which doesn't taste so bad at all. However, only here on the edge, the Radeberger is the current nonplusultra for me. Trouts and 0.0% Heinekens Coctail Casanova and Flaying Mexican Our dishes were now also solid, and so it should be: as appetizers: · 1x Mixed Dips Tapas Nacho with beef, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, cheese chilitos, chicken wing, asparat ribs with cucumber We chose the Mixed Dips Tapas today, because there is something here. And despite the fact that we were four, the record was enough. Mixed Dips Tapas Nacho with beef meat, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, cheese chilitos, chicken wing, asparat ribs with potato wedges con Queso with dips for 2 persons On the plate were 2 small nachos filled with spicy but unfortunately somewhat dry beef meat, several crispy and juicy onion rings, spicy mozzarella sticks and sharp cheese chilitos. The onion rings, sticks and chilitos crispy on the outside, beautifully soft and fresh on the inside. The relatively sharply seasoned Chicken Wings were the hammer. The skin crispy fried, the meat in juicy and tender. The Spare Ribs can't be called that, rather a very small rib. From the taste they get to their big siblings well, but the two little things aren't much. Our children fell on the Potato Wedges con Queso. These were crusty fried potato corners with plenty of spicy cheese overwhelmed in a rice wafer. There were two dips, one mango chili dip and a mild yogurt cream. All right. In fact, the great hunger had already been cured, but half an hour later it became close to the table, our main foods came. My wife and daughter wanted to share the Plato Grande de Tortilla for 2 people. Actually, that's always the food from my wife and me, today I had to give up. The Plato Grande is covered with various Burritos, Enchiladas, Wraps, Tacos and Quesadilas. These are filled with minced meat, chicken breast strips, chili con carne or fresh salad. Plato Grande de Tortilla for 2 people – our personal classic with something of everything: Burritos, Enchiladas, Wraps, Tacos and Quesadilas filled with different meats and vegetables, with Dips and Mexican rice The minced meat is also a bit dry here, but hearty seasoned. For this, the chicken breast strips were pleasantly soft and well roasted, with the wort one kept in the background. For this, the Chili con Carne made his name all honor and struck with the usual sharpness. We love this record because there's something here about everything. Some of the tortillas are baked with spicy cheddar, others have the in-house, smokey enchilada sauce or guacamole as topping. As a dip there is a sharp chilisauce and the mild yoghurt sauce. And as an absolute highlight (at least for me) there are still fresh, fieryly sharp Jalapeños and Peperoni. The spicy Mexican rice is almost mild again. The record was so much that the two girls had to surrender, and the rest was still a full-fledged lunch of our big one the next day. Plato Grande de Tortilla for 2 persons – our personal classic with something of everything: Burritos, Enchiladas, Wraps, Tacos and Quesadilas filled with different meats and vegetables, with Dips and Mexican rice Our little one had chosen the Burritos with Pulled Pork. A large, soft wheat tortilla was filled with plenty of very spicy smokey, homemade pulled pork. In addition, fresh salad, Cole Slav and grater cheese were added. A delicious, hearty mixture. But the frightening of our little one came when she realized that the Cole Slaw was nothing but a herb salad. To Burrito there were also here the spicy Mexican rice as well as guacamole and the chilisauce as a dip. Also here the Jalapeños did not miss. Burritos Pulled Pork – a soft wheat borilla filled with homemade Pulled Pork, Salads, Cole Slav and Ruby Cheese Burritos Pulled Pork – a soft wheat borilla filled with homemade Pulled Pork, Salads, Cole Slav and Ruby Cheese I had decided to do the Fajitas con Pollo today. First of all, I got a large empty plate with several dips on it. Then followed a bowl with lid, which contained the many-warm tortillas before my crumbling, steaming pan came in. the plate with the dips to the Fajitas con Pollo ofenwarme Tortillas In the cast iron pan, the richly marinated strips were dressed by the chicken breast together with the Mexican vegetables. The Mexican vegetables consisted of fresh peppers, corn, zucchini, peperoni and onion. Fajitas con Pollo A crumbling pan with mexican vegetables, with large tortilla, Cole Slaw, grated cheese and various dips with grilled and marinated strips of chicken breast This mix of pan should then be filled into the still hot tortillas. A small bowl of Cole Slav or herb salad and grated cheese could still be used as a filling. The Cole Slav is made freshly. He was crunchy in the bite, the dressing pleasantly hearty. Three different dips from fresh guacamole, mild yoghurt and sharp chilli were also available. And of course the fresh Jalapeños and Peperoni, which then stacked on my plate. Total image of the Fajitas con Pollo Endresultat Even if the girls were actually fed after these portions, a dessert had to be. So they ordered after a while: · 2x Churros baked fired dough bars with sweet dips for 7.00 € • 2x Churros After ten minutes the hot Churros were at the table. Three of these fried dough bars lay on the plate, some sugar covered the surface. We actually know Churros with powder sugar. We have also had better the dim of the Churros, for example on the nearby Striezelmarkt. As a supplement there was a stick creamy caramel mass, a sweet pudding and coarse apple. Dark, liquid chocolate decorated the plate. Overall, not bad, but as I said, the girls had already had better. Churros baked sticks with sweet dips After a nice evening, away from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas market, it was again a beautiful family evening for us. Recommended for repetition. Our conclusion: we left four €157.70 in the “Santa Fe Tex Mex” in Dresden. And we stay here, it's and stays our number one. We like to come here, and I hope this will stay like this for a while."

"Sometimes you have to do something good to the world. So this evening again. Our family included would-be son-in-law was donating blood or blood plasma in Dresden. Since we were all complete, our youth suggested that we reimburse the money or at least some of it in the Dresden Neustadt. When the youth is on their own, they always go to the “Keke” and eat a “Kartoffeldöner”. You may call us old, but that was strange to my wife and me. So we had to try this, and that's how I write a review about a dönerimbis today. Bistro Keke So after the donation date, it went for us five with the mobile base to the busy Neustadtviertel. They were our problems again. Finding a parking lot is almost a miracle. After we finally solved this problem adequately at the edge of the road, almost one razing cyclist had taken off the walkway and fed the one-armed bandits of the city of Dresden, it went towards the old main fire station of the Dresden fire department on the Luisenstraße. The “Keke”, which according to the youth offers the only “Kartoffeldöner”, a so-called Kumpir here, is located obliquely opposite. Advertisement for the Kumpir In the “Keke”, we have the opportunity to take a seat in the outdoor area, typically a new city fan, on a table on the walkway. However, man can also take place in the cozy, turquoise interior outside the large counter. Typical outdoor area of a bistros in the new town The menu flyers are available on the tables. From an extensive range of Döner, Lahmacun, Dürum, Pide to the said Kumpir in all possible variations, you get what the Dönerherz likes. We decided to: · 5x Kumpir Turkey with butter, cheese, dönerfleisch, tomatoes, cucumbers and cucumbers for each 7.00 € As drinks we took: · 1x 0.5ér bottle Radeberger Pilsner for 2,50 € · 2x 0.5ér bottle Coca Cola for each 2,50 € · 1x 0.33ér bottle Fritz Cola for 2,50 € The order must be delivered even in the bistro at the typical Döner. The finished dishes are then delivered to the table. No 10 minutes later it was so far, our “Kartoffeldöner” stood before us. What was different to the normal döner? There was no fladen bread here, but also a large oven potato called Kumpir in Turkish language. Wikipedia writes: Kumpir is a dish prepared from large, milky-boiling potatoes. These are baked in special three-storey ovens, the two lower floors being used for cooking and the upper ones being used for keeping warm. Once the potatoes are at all, they are cut up in the middle without cutting them completely. With a fork, the potato interior is loosened, mixed with butter and grated cheese and, if desired, occupied. Meanwhile, Kumpir is an integral part of the Turkish fast food kitchen. The word Kumpir has passed into the Turkish language and means kiln or foil potatoes there. Originally, it originates from the Palatinate/Almanian Grumbier or Krummbeere “Grundbirne”. In this form it was also used by German-style settlers in south-eastern Europe, the Danube Swabians, where it entered the Serbian language as krumpir or crompir and as krumpli into the Hungarian language, and was spread from Balkan Turks who had contact with these German-speaking people to Anatolia. Unlike Patates potato, it refers to the prepared kiln potatoes. This word is increasingly reimported in Germany as Kumpir-ci. This is a Turkish snack offering potato specialities. Kumpir Turkey with butter, cheese, dönerfleisch, tomatoes, cucumbers and spice cucumbers Our “Kumpir Turkey” here in Dresden was now a large baking potato. This was pleasantly mild, soft, the interior of the potato was cleared and mixed with butter, cheese and small spice cucumber pieces. Potato cucumber with cheese and spice cucumber, over it Dönerfleisch After that all came back into the oiled baking potato before the normal Döner ingredients were added. Here in the Dresdner „Keke“ fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, cut into coarse pieces and fresh onion rings were added to the season. On top then a thick portion of diner meat with the desired corresponding sauces such as herbs, garlic and chili, or as you say at the dönermann once with everything. The dönerfleisch here consists of minced meat, certainly a mixture of lamb and pork as with most dönerimbissen. The meat juicy, well fried and pleasantly spicy. Man can also get the döner or the Kumpir as a chickendöner. There is also the pumpir instead of diner meat as variations with sausages, spinach or tuna. There are probably no limits to the ingenuity. The Kumpir, our “Kartoffeldöner” tasted very good to us. I always don't have to have it, so I prefer to have the right diners in the fladen bread, the right meat skewer and everything. Kumpir Turkey with butter, cheese, diner meat, tomatoes, cucumbers and spice cucumbers After we were finished with food, we made our plates into the bistro and had to pay our food and drinks now. That's brave. Our conclusion: we left exactly 45 euros in the “Keke” in the Dresden Neustadt. There are many bistros, cafés and restaurants. The keke with its offer of the Kumpir, according to its website the first in Dresden, is something completely different. If it turns out we'll be happy to come back."

"General: Again in Dresden and it is very warm on a June evening. The accompanying culinary summer feelings demanded a Greek. A handful of Greeks that I have been through in Dresden and a satisfactory basic nutrition was always there, see Atlantis, Acheron, Artemis, Irodion, Lukullus . On the list was Athens in Tolkewitz opposite the historical Johannisfriedhof. A little outside, but with two trams from downtown you can reach in 20 minutes. After 18:00 there were only some tables in the restaurant; the large terrace remained unused due to the risk of thunderstorms in the evening. At 7:00 p.m. the big restaurant had filled up well. Couples, groups of colleagues and families I have built up. Most likely from the surrounding area and regular guests who experienced the increasingly personal and warm welcomes. The current price map takes place on the homepage of Athens and some photos show the interior and exterior of the restaurant. I see the price-performance ratio with good four stars. Service: A neat troop of Greek potters and waiters, supplemented with a young woman, took care of the guests at the table. Uniform in turquoise polo shirts with restaurant logo and black trousers. A little later, the host entered the field. He had escaped from the uniform and appeared in the black T-shirt and the uniform hairstyle that is missing today in Turkish hairdressers. But he tried for the crowd and welcomed. Respect me for an old, strange white man, regular guests with handshake and more. Later he was served useful and sometimes. The actual service brigade worked flott and there was a good mood. My drinks immediately came to the table and also the appetizers after ten minutes. Unfortunately it went so fast with the main court. The tribal group on the neighboring table also suffered this fate. It seems bad in Athens. Esel is in Athens: For welcome and with the bill there is a cold ouzo from the host. Three stars fulfill the service. Beer prices are very popular: The Dresdener Feldschlößchen is only € 2.60 for 0.4 l! € 1.95 for my reference amount 0.3 l. This shows the undamaged price policy of several hosts in my home region who have gone with 0.3 l towards 3.00 € or have already broken through this sound wall. The bottle of water 0.75 l comes to 4.65 € and the open Greek standard wines are offered for 3.80 € 0.2 l. My retsina was cool, but not cold the Greeks do not descend or the bottle cooling in the typical extracts under the pot area creates nothing less than 10 degrees. The card forms all standards of Meze, Grill, Pan and Furnace. Here too the award is remarkable: The mixing plates with Gyros are under 11,00 € an exception, comes immediately and the mixed grill plates are all below 13,00 €. But once before, Boujourdi € 6.70. After the map baked feta cheese with red peppers, tomatoes and olives in olive oil with oregano. From oregano no trace, but the sheep cheese was cheesey and slightly creamy, without being melted. Add pieces of black olives and vegetables. Simple but good with two slices of a classic, fresh box of white bread. Then the “cheer” gyro maker €12,30 with the name gyros, a small souvlakis shoot and an attractive pork steak with feta. As supplements large frits and rice and before a small supplement salad with industrial dressing. The portion size was opulent in view of the price. The taste experience mixed: Souvlaki thick cut, mürbe in bite and very successful with clear oregano touch. The pig steak with the good sheep cheese had a strong inner companion. The gyro was fresh and well stored and cut, but unfortunately absolutely faulty. Incomprehensible given the good seasoning mixes for this classic lathe. With 3.5 stars the kitchen of Athens comes well satisfactorily through the finish. Ambience: The Athens is housed in a playful old building Eckhaus. On the left and right side of the entrance you will find the generous free places that are separated from the Trottoir by book and life tree. Inside Athens is a large restaurant. In addition to the main room with Theke there are two rooms. The spatial generosity continues and between the tables. These are partially seized by high benches and a certain nishness arises. It dominates dark and bright wood colors and the decorative elements are limited to wood panels and small walls. For a Greek, Purist and Strenge. The turquoise blue of the polo shirts is recorded by indirect ceiling exposure. Otherwise, you will understand the Greek drum music that has been moved by the swelling communication urge of the guests and the communication joy of the servicemen. The tile space for the gentlemen must have been completely renovated in recent years. Good hygiene standard and clean. Cleanliness: Athens makes a very well maintained impression."
