As we had already eaten, we told him we would come back the next day. Hugely happy that we did! if you're looking for beef, this is not your place. This is a total seafood orgy. My wife got the cuttlefish cooked in its own black ink. She said it was a peak experience. I did not take offense, after I tasted it! I had the razor clams, which I don't see very much, and they were just OK. But they had a huge selection of all manner of fresh seafood. It was a nice mix of mostly local people with the few tourists sprinkled in. We did not hear any other English while we were there. Great to core, great service, clean, welcoming, five stars!

Reservations required. Michelin Bib Gourmand…read more I had lunch here on a weekday. Service was mid, but each dish was so tasty. Starting with a tinto de verano, it was pretty good but more expensive at 5 euros. I read from the Michelin website that the chef is known for the iconic torrezno and taco with Latin American influences. Naturally I ordered those two as well as the sandwich and callos from the "siempre" menu. From "lo de hoy", I tried the short rib and sea bass. For dessert I got the torta de queso. What I found interesting is they remove used silverware and prepare new ones between dishes. The torrezno is 3 euros per piece, so I recommend ordering one per person. The half order of sandwich comes with two pieces; the full order comes with four pieces. The sea bass and short rib were served individually; each person had his own plate. The callos was last to be served, but before dessert of course. This is a restaurant I would come back to visit and highly recommend. I love that they offer half portions because I just like to try various dishes without getting too full. Torrezno is definitely something to try here.

The place is on a street corner and has over half dozen tables mostly under tree shade scattered on the broad sidewalk. It was busy at around 3 pm but we were able to grab the last outdoor table (there were tables inside but on a nice sunny day the outside was much more pleasant). Food came quickly despite the apparent shortage of staff - I had salmon with salad and it was delicious. It seems to be a locals restaurant but they have menus in English. They also have dishes written up on a blackboard and I wish I'd looked at that too as the grilled asparagus and pimento peppers looked really good too. Price was very reasonable. Nice casual lunch for two for about $40. It's definitely a place worth returning to.i

It was just down the block from our hotel, so we ended up here for dinner on our first night in Madrid. Prices are very reasonable. They have a menu del dia for lunch, but for dinner, it's all a la carte. The menu is very typical. We enjoyed the jamon iberico, the tortilla, the grilled wild asparagus, the gambas al ajillo, and the cheese platter. The tortilla was huge! (We ended taking home 2/3 of it and eating it for breakfast over the next couple mornings.) We also enjoyed the nicely cold beer. Service was very friendly, maybe a bit slow, but who can complain when one isn't in a rush? I'd happily return.

The staff were very friendly and the restaurant was nice. Only thing was that it was a little cramped but that's most restaurants here. Food was pretty good. It's cool how you get to choose your style of pasta and essentially make it yourself. You get to choose the type of sauce, type of protein, and type of noodle. We got the carbonara with shrimp and the mushroom with chicken. Both were delicious and filling. Only thing is that it's very heavy but it is pasta. Also for a strawberry margarita but it was too sweet for my liking. Kinda felt like it was just syrup in there. Overall would recommend if you're looking for a pasta place.

Really cool customizable pasta options that come in little pots. The waiters were SO kind and spoke English which made it a lot easier to order.
