Food in Berlin // Maria Bonita


Ok, summer is officially over.
Yaaay!
I have to be honest, 
autumn and winter are my favourite seasons.
I love layering, 
i love being able to wear a hat,
gloves, scarf etc.
Pumpkins, hot soup, stew.
Not to mention the C word...
*whispers*
christmas.

That being said, one of my favourite things to do in summer...
eat!
I know in the heat it's sometimes difficult to find an appetite,
but when you have the best mexican place down the street
you find some room in your belly!!

Guys, if ever you are in Berlin and the weather is decent,
visit Maria Bonita.
It's on Danziger Str 33, 
just down the street from the Eberswalder U junction,
and their food is crazy good.


Everything is made fresh, on the day, to order.
The place is tiny, you walk in, there's the counter.
They cook everything in the front, 
you can watch if you want...
if that's your thing!

Not much room to eat inside, 
just a window seat,
which is why i suggest visiting on a warm day.
Plenty of seats outside.


I wholeheartedly recommend the fish tacos.
They're a special,
so won't always be there,
but hell,
they are so delicious. 


Tasty spicy salsas.
The guacamole that comes on the side of the plate is to die for.
I didn't like guac until i tried it here.
Now i am a master and make it all the time!



Try the quesadilla.
Gorgeous!
This was the chicken. There is also beef or a veggie option.
For €6 or €7, it is a serious bargain.


Little tacos alambre, beef and cheese.
We now make a version of these at home.
€5,50.
I know it doesn't look a lot,
but these 3 mini pockets of yum are so filling.
I guarantee satisfaction!!


Those heavenly fish tacos.
The batter is so light, the fish not fishy, 
weirdly, they aren't greasy at all.

There aren't a great many mexican places i've come across,
which is strange to me,
because mexican food is always so fresh, flavoursome, and [kind of] healthy.
I feel like there should be so many more Mexican places!!!

Come to Berlin, 
stay in Prenzlauerberg, 
and come eat at Maria Bonitas.

They sell the most delicious margarita slushys.

For ten euros you can get a meal and margarita.
You can't say fairer than that!!

I love this place.
I want you to love it too.

Kukee jewellery and a wishlist of sorts...


I stumbled across Kukee quite by accident. 
I was looking for a name necklace, and found their site via a google search.
I decided to go ahead and buy a necklace, and get it delivered to my mum's so i had a nice treat to look forward to coming home!

When i got back and she gave me my pile of parcels,
[i may have treated myself to a few bits...]
i ripped this one from Kukee open straight away.


Lookit the cute packaging!



I love this necklace. 
I wear it all of the time.
It's a bit different to the popular tatty devine-esque name necklaces lots of people have.
The letter cubes are chunky yet dainty at the same time.
The chain is the perfect length for me.

If you look at the photo above you can see some larger links in the chain.
These are on either side of the letters and prevent them from separating and rolling around to the back of your neck!
Ingenius!
They don't seem to have the named necklaces or bracelets on the site anymore.
It's a shame really.
Not to worry though, there's lots of other pretty things!

After putting my new necklace on i went straight to the website and looked at ordering a few more things.


Treats!


I chose some necklaces that are all of the things i love.
Space, dinosaurs, and skulls.
I am such a nerd i know.


There's a few other bits i want from the site...


These super cute skull bobbles are calling out to me.
Not pictured is the matte black one, sooo good!
For £1 each i might treat myself to all three.


These diamond pretties.
Swoon.
I'm getting a diamond knuckle tattoo when i go home so i want these!


These safety pin earrings couldn't call out to the punk in me more.


And finally this little pyramid.

Ah, i'm going back home in a couple of weeks so might have to place another order because seriously, i freaking love this website.

Keep checking their facebook.
Every now and then they post really good deals and offers. 

Did i mention Kukee has a page dedicated to £1 jewellery?
One pound.
Crying.

Just to make things clear, 
anything i talk about on here i've bought myself.
No-one has ever sent me anything to review, 
[waah!]
i felt like i just needed to clear that up.

I love bargains, and i love quirky jewellery that you can express yourself through.
That is why i love this site so much.
