Mexican food in Berlin, reimagined – but what does that actually mean?
The founder of TACO & GRINGO, Carlos Hernandez Toimil, hails from Oaxaca, Mexico, and grew up immersed in the flavours of Mexican cuisine. When he arrived in Germany, he found one thing missing above all else: the true taste of home.
This led him to start experimenting with traditional recipes at an early age, combining tacos, quesadillas, and classic Mexican ingredients. His mission was always clear: to preserve the original soul of the food while making room for something new.
These experiments eventually became the recipes served at TACO & GRINGO today. Among them is our Salsa Taquera Toimil – named after the family and based on a deeply rooted tradition that stretches all the way back to his great-grandmother.
It was during these culinary experiments that the Gringo was born – a bold evolution of the classic Quesadilla Gringa. Refined with a unique selection of ingredients and cheeses, and carefully adapted to European palates, it remains deeply rooted in its Mexican origins.
The result: Mexican food that stays authentic while forging its own identity. Real, modern, and unmistakably original.
We are Carlos and Georg, the founders of TACO & GRINGO. Our shared passion for experiential dining is what brought us together. With TACO & GRINGO, we’re consciously breaking the mould, bringing the true, young, and urban spirit of Mexico to your plate – authentic Mexican food in Berlin, reimagined.
