"I am a SF Burrito snob. For many decades. As a novelty, I 've had mission burritos all over the globe. Usually, especially Before Chipotle, local takes were fun often strange like the gouda curried chicken burrito in Holland, 1996. But the Germans ... they don 't mess around. 2018 I was astonished accidently finding SF Burrito Company in Köln. My brain blew a fuse. And the burritos were absolutely outstanding in every possible way. Went there dozens or times. Took my first born there, who was raised on Bay Area burritos. Wow! Then I learned SF taquerias were all over Deutschland. Maybe I should relocate ... Sadly, SF Burrito Co in Köln did not survive Covid. But cologne has other taquerias making magnificent burritos (to be reviewed later). I 'd spotted Berlin 's Dolores on previous trips but had not tried for a variety of reasons. Enter 2024 and in town with my youngest son (also raised on burritos). I was so excited to try Dolores. But truly saddened by the food experience. I grade burritos on a local curve. And by German standard, Dolores gets 3 stars max. It 's basically blander than Chipotle. I 'm so let down by the experience, I can 't even describe it. I 'll start either the Quesadilla as my burrito PTSD is just too strong to reflect on it. The chicken quesadilla was awful. Chicken and tortilla texture felt as if they were both prepared in a microwave. Rubbery chicken that was extremely dry inside. Zero crispness to the tortilla. Next to no cheese. And way too much cilantro on the chicken. And a side of mushy pico de gallo. I 'm almost crying in shame reflecting on what a quesadilla from the Mission is compared to this. Ugh. The burrito. Got their house Pork special. Said it was Carnitas. For some reason, it took over 15 minutes to get to us not a problem but bizarre as they had a burrito assembly line running. Anyway, it was very flabby in construction. No tension in the tortilla to hold it together. And the tortilla was mushy. Not properly steamed or crisped on the grill. The pork was very nice. A highly spiced pulled pork. Definitely not anything like carnitas. I do not believe it was fried or braised. A very low proportion of meat to rice. And the rice ... way too much Cilantro. Texture OK. But soapy cilantro from the rice practically overpowered the pork. Beans refried which was a nice surprise. They were pretty OK . No cheese. A tiny amount of sour cream. Had a hot salsa in it. But was hardly noticeable and not even hot. Basically, a burrito that was a so so copy of Qdoba or Chipotle. So sad. So very sad. The dining experience the place was packed on a beautiful Saturday. A Line spilling out to the street. Nowhere to sit inside or outside. It was wonderful seeing so many couples and families enjoy an SF burrito experience ... I am thankful or this."

Food was incredible but service time is a bit long. Stickers on the walls are fun to look at.

Great Mexican(well, really more Californian-Mexican) place in the center of Berlin. You never could go wrong with burrito for lunch!

I just visited this place today. They had a variety of food and vegan options. I had the vegan lover burrito. I wish they had a more variety of drinks/beverages. I will come back!

Their burritos are too damn delicious! I loved every bit of it. The make your own burrito option is a super useful to customise a burrito to your taste. I had the veggie burrito with fajita veggies instead of beans.

Delicious burritos with plentiful vegan options but enough other choices that everyone can be sated! Staff were friendly and spoke english so we had no issues ordering even complicated items! Seating is small on the inside, so be prepared to have to take away or find somewhere nearby. We got lucky with our group of 6! Fully recommend their fresh juice choices as I believe they change every day!

Great mexican food, all fresh and spicy. The burritos are large, the bowls even larger and there's a wide variety of toppings one can choose from. The atmosphere is noisy and due to the popularity of the food the place is always packed, especially on a Saturday night. So be prepared to wait a couple of minutes for your food or an empty table. In the end it's all worth it as this is one of the best Burritos you will find in Berlin.

I'll admit it. As a native San Franciscan, I came here for the San Francisco map mural, and not the burritos. I tend to turn my nose up at burritos on the East Coast so I was a little wary about this German hipster burrito joint's proud proclamation that they served Mission style burritos. Quick burrito snob analysis: First of all, the burrito was wrapped in butcher paper, not aluminum foil, which immediately refuted Dolores's claim of authenticity. The salsa is strangely sweet, and when I recounted this observation to an American expat, she said it was probably derived from the infamous German curry ketchup. And the mysterious green rice (which is apparently basmati rice with fresh cilantro...
