The 12 Best South American Restaurants in Berlin

In recent years, South American cuisine in Berlin has expanded far beyond the classic steakhouse. Today, we find true culinary treasures in the neighborhoods, from the Andes to the Amazon. Here is our curated list of the best South American restaurants in Berlin (including 2 Mexican restaurants we highly recommend—so you could say these are the best Latin American restaurants!).

1. Nau (Mitte)

The stylish restaurant Nau brings the sea breeze of Peru right to Kastanienallee in Mitte. It’s minimalist, modern, and offers a fine-dining experience with top-notch Peruvian dishes featuring a modern twist. And the cocktails are wonderful! If you love and appreciate Peruvian cuisine, this is the place for you.
Our recommendation: Ceviche Clásico and the grilled octopus.
Address: Kleine Hamburger Str. 2, 10115 Berlin

2. Cevicheria (Kreuzberg)

This little gem is tucked away near Kottbusser Tor. Cevicheria is cozy and intimate, exuding that quintessential Kreuzberg charm paired with world-class ceviche. Here, they work their magic with limes and chilies in a way that will blow your mind.
Our recommendation: Ceviche de Pulpo (octopus) and the Causa Limena.
Address: Dresdenener Str. 120, 10999 Berlin

3. La Casita (Friedrichshain)

If you want to know what a hug from Venezuela feels like, this is the place to go. La Casita specializes in arepas—those wonderful, stuffed corn cakes. It’s unpretentious, warm, and simply tastes like “home.”
Our recommendation: Arepa de Pabellón and cheese-filled tequeños.
Address: Gabriel-Max-Straße 2, 10245 Berlin

4. Rocoto (Schöneberg)

Rocoto is a real hidden gem for anyone looking for authentic Peruvian home cooking without all the frills. Named after the spicy Peruvian chili pepper, they deliver on their promise here: the flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the hospitality is legendary. And some say that the best ceviche in Berlin is served here.
Our recommendation: Ceviche, Ají de Gallina (creamy chicken chili), and Anticuchos.
Address: Eisenacher Str. 103, 10823 Berlin

5. Villa Rodizio (Prenzlauer Berg)

If you’re really hungry, there’s no getting around Villa Rodizio in Berlin. In this imposing brick building, Brazilian joie de vivre is served—nonstop. The meat skewers (rodizio) are the highlight, accompanied by a buffet that leaves nothing to be desired.
Our recommendation: Picanha (boiled beef) and grilled pineapple with cinnamon.
Address: Milastraße 2, 10437 Berlin

6. Macondo (Friedrichshain)

This restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it’s a cultural living room. Surrounded by bookshelves, you can enjoy Colombian specialties here. The atmosphere is warm, intellectual, and very relaxed—perfect for a long evening.
Our recommendation: Patacones (fried plantains) and the Arroz con Pollo.
Address: Scharnweberstraße 28, 10247 Berlin

7. Gaucho (Schöneberg)

A rock-solid institution on Richard-von-Weizsäcker-Platz. If you’re looking for a perfectly grilled Argentine steak without all the fuss, this has been the place to go for years. It’s down-to-earth, rustic, and consistently high-quality.
Our recommendation: Bife de Cuadril (rump steak) with homemade chimichurri.
Address: Richard-von-Weizsäcker-Platz 7, 10827 Berlin

8. Tupac (Kreuzberg)

Here, Peruvian cuisine is deconstructed and reassembled. Tupac is hip, loud, and extremely bold in its culinary approach. The fusion dishes are little works of art that explode with flavor and visual appeal. Definitely a place for explorers.
Our recommendation: Tiradito de Pescado and the Yuca Fries.
Address: Ohlauer Str. 13, 10999 Berlin

9. Amaize (Kreuzberg)

At Amaize, everything revolves around the wonderful world of Venezuelan arepas and bowls. The restaurant is modern, colorful, and brings a breath of fresh air to the Bergmannkiez neighborhood. The fillings are creative and the ingredients are top-quality—a modern take on a classic.
Our recommendation: Arepa “La Pelúa” (beef & cheese) and the yuca bowls.
Address: Friesenstraße 6, 10965 Berlin

10. La Choza de la Anaconda (Charlottenburg)

This restaurant on Windscheidstraße is a real find for fans of Peruvian cuisine. The name (“The Anaconda’s Hut”) already hints at it: here, you’ll immerse yourself in the flavors of the Amazon and the Andes. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for a relaxed evening. The freshness of the ingredients deserves special mention—connoisseurs consider the ceviche to be one of the best in the city. Anyone looking for the authentic soul of Peru in western Berlin is guaranteed to find it here.
Our recommendation: Ceviche Clásico and the traditional fish stew, accompanied by a freshly mixed Pisco Sour.
Address: Windscheidstraße 31, 10627 Berlin

11. Taqueria El Oso (Prenzlauer Berg)

We’re building a bridge to Mexico! While El Oso isn’t geographically part of South America, as one of the best Latin American restaurants in the city, we simply had to include it. Anyone who’s tried their tacos will understand why we had to make this exception.
Our recommendation: Tacos al Pastor (prepared on a rotisserie).
Address: Schönhauser Allee 176, 10119 Berlin

12. Tortilleria Mexa (Friedrichshain)

Our second Mexican exception. Why? Because they make their own tortillas from real corn flour, which is a rarity in Berlin. This craftsmanship deserves a spot on any list dedicated to authentic Latin American food.
Our recommendation: Taco Campechano and the chilaquiles.
Address: Boxhagener Str. 50, 10245 Berlin

Whether you’re in the mood for the spicy freshness of Peruvian ceviche, the hearty warmth of Venezuelan arepas, or the artisanal perfection of Mexican tacos: South American restaurants in Berlin today offer a quality that is second to none.
