Munchies
When I say this place is mega-viral, don’t think it’s just hyperbole. Basically, you don’t want to go here unless you’re prepared to queue. But the long lines are a testament to the food inside, and the wait will almost certainly be worth it.
Formerly a food truck, Munchies has found a happy permanent home in Bergmannkiez. Their menu features mouthwatering delights like buttery brioche sandwiches piled high with beef, flavorful birria tacos, crispy fries, and spicy Nashville hot chicken tenders. (Mostly under €10.)

Okay, so when I call this place cheap I mean getting one slice of pizza is cheap. While that will mostly do the trick for me, I know it doesn’t for many of my guy friends. (You’ve been warned!)
