Cafe Especial - Köln

During the day you can sit comfortably with a carol, nachos and Dip outside. Also recommended are the Fajitas for self-filling. In the evening, you will be better off at the bar with one or other spirits.

Decent quality Mexican food in a nice space with large outdoor dining area. I know I am spoiled by the ubiquitousness of Mexican restaurants in the USA where burritos are $8 or less but it was a shock to see Cafe Especial asking $16-17 for burritos, even $8 for an appetizer of beans and guacamole. The food was good but overpriced. Service typical German grim efficiency.

Was there with my wife . They have lovely beer collection and huge Mexican menu the food tastes good the staff is friendly don't miss the salsa the food is spicy but Mexican has be spicy being an indian felt food similar close to home . You would love it the location in convenient is amongst the best near it's vicinity

I had dinner with a co-worker at about 6 PM during weekdays. The place was already full, but they have convenient bar-tables where we could stay until a regular table was ready. The food was tasty (we had chimichanga, tacos, shrimps and beans paste) and the staff helped me to organize a surprise birthday-cake with candle for my friend who had his anniversary.

We were given this recommendation by our hotel and we extremely happy we followed it. I knew it was going to be good just by the Mexican beer selection. The chips and salsa were great to start with. I had the "Degustation de Pacifico" which was awesome. The beef chili bowl was spicy and good and the beef tacos were packed full of beef. The enchilada was tasty and came with real guacamole and fried beans. My wife had the "Tacos California" and loved them. There was so much food that we didn't get dessert. The staff were extremely friendly and unlike many restaurants, we did not have to wait for 30+ minutes to receive our food. For the several reviews that said this was not good, do not listen to them. This place is the real deal and I have eaten Mexican food through Latin America and the US and can tell you without hesitation this is legit. There is a reason this place has been open for 30 years and the lines are out the door during dinner. If you are in Cologne and want real Mexican food, this is the place. Period.
