Whilst traveling Europe, I became so enthralled with Spanish Tapas, to the point where I tried to…read morefind a clutch Tapas restaurant in every city I visited. Unfortunately, many cities could not develop the full Spanish flavors I was searching for. Then I found Mariona. And I fell in love. I went there multiple times in the three times I visited Berlin. Each time, I was not disappointed. The tapas, though small dishes (priced around 8-9 Euros), were completely drenched in richness, both in flavor and textures. Particularly, their braised rabbit in apricot reduction (Summer). This dish was satisfying to the point where my Boyfriend and I returned twice within 3 days, just so we could indulge in the richness again. The chocolate and cheese dish looks deceiving, in that, at first glance, one may feel like the portion was not enough to satisfy one's appetite, but the richness was more than enough to satisfy the palette. We have this dish almost every time that it is on the menu, since it isn't restricted by the seasons. The dishes were aesthetically pleasing as well, almost too pretty to each, but who could resist, one bite in and you are sold. We would have 1-3 dishes total, and be full and satisfied. Oh heck, we were fat happy babies after each meal. The portions were perfect for the intensity of the flavors. I have to admit, we did not order the entrees, because the tapas are the star of the show at this place, and since 2 tapas plates equals the price of one entree, I felt more satisfied enjoying a variety of dishes instead of a full on plate. This seems to be a family restaurant, with simple, rustic decor, and nice service (our waiter even remembered us from a year earlier when we had come). There is a variety of wines to suit any palate. Disclaimer: the place is small and gets crowded quite fast, so making a reservation is key if you go around the peak dinner hours. Honestly, if you are looking to indulge your flavor palate with beautiful and rich flavors, this place is a hidden gem.

This place is mediocre. I went with a friend who had been many times and liked it a lot, but I…read morefound the service poor, the waiter rude, and the atmosphere dirty and loud. The food was good. We had a mixed salad, fried anchovies and seafood paella. The salad was average, the anchovies were perfect, the paella was a bit bland with green beans, small tasteless shrimp, four mussels and a few calamari rings. We had heard they started taking credit cards and confirmed that with the hostess when we arrived and were seated but when we went to pay the waiter said they only took cash (am bar) and gave us attitude before eventually getting the credit card reader.

Definitely not what I expected. So if you end up going here, either come with a lot of mouths to feed or order lightly to gauge in my opinion. Service was a little slow and the food took longer than anticipated to come out, but overall it was good. I liked the octopus salad the most. Steak was mediocre and was a basic steak. Octopus with chorizo did not taste like it had any chorizo at all. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options and I noticed it is a smoking friendly environment.

But you can certainly not fool a spaniard... The tapas are not freshly cooked, they taste like "ready made", frozen or microwaved... most of them are not even from the spanish cuisine...

The venison with potatoes and bacon was savory and delicious. The piquillo peppers stuffed with celery purée was a great appetizer. We enjoyed the perfectly crisp skin of the mackerel that was perfectly cooked. They also have specials that keep things fresh. Price for two with one drink a piece was 45 EUR. It's a small splurge by Berlin standards but a steal for the quality and hospitality. The space is well composed and good for couples and groups up to 8-10. I recommend sitting inside unless you enjoy fellow diners ruining your and their palette by smoking or being interrupted by beggars. Look forward to going back!

First night out in Berlin!…read more I came here with 2 others and we were lucky to have a seats because it appeared to have been full from all the reservations! I suppose this is quite the popular place! The reason this placed captured my attention was that it is a gastro bar...something I enjoy! TKOKOA is a Spanish and French fusion gastro bar...something I have never tried! So here's what we ordered: BREAD - Complimentary Slice sourdough bread that should have been brought out way in the beginnjng. I'm only complaining because we were starving and they didn't bring this to us until after we ordered :(. I was surprised there was no butter given; given that this is a part French restaurant! FENNEL RISOTTO (3 Textures) - €6,80 This would have to be my favorite out of the 3 because it's so unique and I don't think I would have ever orders it. Also it is called risotto, there actually is none. The fennel on this duh was made 3 ways: chopped up to look like risotto, cut into thin and wide slices to look like pasta, and creamed into a foam. The "pasta" fennel was placed lm a bed of the chopped fennel and was surrounded by the foam and I enjoyed every bit of it! It had a subtle creamy and rich enough taste with no guilt feeling because there were no carbs in here ;) SUCKLING PORK BELLY w/MUSHROOMS & GREEN APPLES - €7,90 I immediately orders this because I just love pork belly. The pork belly itself was good; not amazing but I enjoyed it enough. It was tender, flavorful but didn't have that pork belly feeling. The green apples tasted like chutney which I didn't care for but the I did enjoy the mushrooms it came with. All of this was placed on some mashed potatoes and gravy, which was delicious because the gravy came from the juices of the pork, which I also used for dipping the complimentary bread! Yum! GRILLED SOL w/AVOCADO CREAM - €7,90 I was quite impressed with this dish. As simple as it looks, the dish was thinly cut and therefore had plenty of flavor in every bed! The best part of this was the hidden spread of avocado cream under a bed of fresh spinach! The creaminess gives this plate that rich taste and balanced the safely flavor of the sol. I enjoyed this one very much! JACK DANIELS ICE-CREAM w/CHOCOLATE SAUCE & CHESTNUTS - €5,60 We were disappointed to how long it took for them to prepare one scoop of ice cream! I mean were they still milking the cow?! By the one we were going to cancel the daily special dessert they were already making it. This tiny portion was quite delicious. I didn't taste much jack Daniels in the ice cream and the chocolate sauce tasted like hot cocoa! I liked it but it took too long to be fought out. Although the staff were friendly, everything felt slow or neglected. It took them awhile to bring ha our menus, complimentary bread, and out dessert. It's a quite restaurant for sure and the food was tasty, but since portions are small (tapas style) I felt it was pricey.
