This place is about 8 mins walk from El Escorial Monastery. It is definitely a hidden gem of the neighborhood. For 10 Euros, you can have a two course meal and desert + wine/beer/water till 4pm. The food is so fresh and homey. There is a little terrace in front, and you can appreciate the charm of a small quaint town. Everyone seem to know each other. Food selection gets smaller as the day go, because they just prepare enough fresh food for the day. So go earlier. The server is so friendly, but he speaks little (to no) English. Menu is on the board, use your google translate and you will be just fine:) Please go and support this neighborhood joint!

The most striking were the artichokes sprinkled with bacon. Another excellent dish was a regional bread soup from Segovia, coupled with roasted vegetables, made an excellent filling dinner.

The dishes are all perfectly prepared and elegantly presented Spanish flair. This is upscale but without upscale pricing. If you are looking for an elegant Spanish dining experience then look no further, you will not be disappointed. The place is quaint about 10 tables inside with an additional 10 outside. The service was top notch, the chef here cares! I highly recommend.

It's a small famly owned place with a terrific menu del dia. About six choices for each course. We loved the scrambled eggs with sausage dish (all mixed up into one) and the stir fried vegetables with pasta. But the bargain was the steak with fried potatoes dish. Hot and cooked just right, it was a simple dish done well. The desserts were a little less impressive, but with a lot of water and wine to accompany the meal (all for around 12.5 euros), it was a good deal and a great way to enjoy lunch in this city. Would definitely go back again and recommend to the U.S. travellers visiting this town.
