War heut Abend zum ersten Mal dort und bin nur begeistert. Ich kam um 11:30 rein und hatte damit Glück – mein Tonkotsu Ramen wurde noch ruckzuck gemacht und dann wurde es in der Küche aufgeräumt. Während ich aß wurden mehrmals Gäste weggeschickt. Aber ich hatte dafür wenig Aufmerksamkeit. Ich war vertieft in der leckeren Brühe, bissfeste Nudeln, ganz tollen Schweinefleish…. Die Einrichtung, die Küche, die Atmosphäre, wenn man an der Theke sitzt, einfach super! Nur muss man Glück haben, um einen Platz zu kriegen, da der Laden nur Abends auf hat, sehr klein ist und offensichtlich sehr beliebt ist. Aber ich werde es sicherlich wieder versuchen.
UPDATE: War gerade zum ersten mal in Japan unterwegs und habe viele unterschiedliche Ramenläden probiert. Nun habe ich einen klaren Vergleichsbasis und ich finde Cocolo immer noch richtig top! Der Laden würde in Kyoto bestimmt mithalten können!

When I first heard about this place, I was spending a year away from Berlin and was so excited to get back and try it. Then I read some of the more recent reviews on Qype and started feeling skeptical – so many people said the quality has gone down and the portion sizes too. I wasn’t really in any hurry to go over there. But I happened to be walking by tonight so I decided to give it a chance.
Well, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The tacos were really pretty decent! I really don’t see what all the griping is about, people. I’m not afraid to gripe about bad Mexican food myself (see huge debate I accidentally started on the Dolores page), but I would consider Maria Bonita a decent taco place even if it was in California and not Berlin, where the pickings are slim and the standards, until recently, have been low.
For €5.50 I had three tacos on cute little tortillas (very small, but tasted like homemade) with an VERY generous amount of freshly griddled, crispy, juicy chopped pork, with nice little bits of fat, piled on each one. After adding the chopped onions, pico de gallo, and lime provided, I could barely lift the tacos to eat them without filling tumbling out. I had to eat the excess filling with a fork. Two little enameled tin cups of green and red salsa were also provided – I stuck with the green and it was tomatillo-y and tasty. I regularly paid around $5 for the same thing from taco trucks Stateside, so I consider €5.50 a very fair price for a place that has indoor seating, however simple. As I said, I’m really not sure what all the complaining is about. I thought the food was quite good and a good value.
My only critical feedback is that the service was a bit scattered. I got the distinct feeling that the counter guy couldn’t actually speak German, but he wouldn’t come out and say this to anyone, which caused some amount of confusion (most taco fans can speak English, but we aren’t going to unless you ask us to!). Also my tacos were delivered without silverware (understandable, since you should really eat them with your hands) and without napkins (not so understandable, since you should really eat them with your hands).
Oh, and I would have loved some sliced radishes with my tacos! They are on sale for 11 cents at Edeka right now so I’m sure they could add this flourish without raising the prices ;)
But these are minor issues – the food was right, and that’s what counts. I’ll certainly be stopping by again.
UPDATE: on a second visit, the service has gone downhill. Schade!

Absolut nicht hip oder angesagt, obwohl in Friedrichshain, und das gefällt mir gut. Ich mag die bunt-locker gestaltete Terasse mit vielen Pflanzen und Büchern und die Atmosphäre drinnen, ein Bisschen Hippie und ein Bisschen Omas Wohnung. Habe bisher Bücher und Platten gekauft, eine Tagesmenü gegessen (Pastinakencremesuppe mit Sesamkrokant) und einige Rhabarbersaftschorlen getrunken und bin nur zufrieden.
Update: beim letzten Besuch war die Bedienung so unfreundlich das ich wieder weggegangen bin. Aber ich hoffe sehr, ich habe nur einen schlechten Tag erwischt.
