Delores

Style:
Mex Fast Food

More:
Is it Berlin's first and only Burrito bar?

Reviews:
The Laughing Squid writes about the place, and Richard Miller left a comment with a pretty tepid review: "[...] i checked it out the following year. I can’t say that what they served tasted “bad”, it just didn’t taste very much like something from the Mission. A bit like getting soy milk when you expect something from a cow, the meal might have been tastier if not for the name!It was the Rosarita-canned-beans flavour that did it in, though"

More:
Has many vegetarian dishes, but is neither full vegetarian nor (consequently) vegan. Another plus is that it is one of the places that really enforces the smoking ban, and did so even before they were required to by law. Saints.
Papa No is also big on take-out and deliveries.

Reviews:
Ashy Macbean has a blog about vegetarian restaurants, and if you're vegetarians or like vegetarian food, it is worth checking. In any case, regarding Papa No, it says: "[...] we chose Papa No's because it advertised vegetarian sushi. We had sushi with avocado and Sesame seed followed by veggie pad thai - both of them were delicious! If you're in Berlin, Papa No's is on Oranienstrasse 191, near Kottbusser Tor or Gorlitzer Banhof U-bhan station. Highly recommended.."
As we noted above, there are also non-vegetarian dishes in Papa No (and we can testify that they are equally good).
