I stumbled on this place on a stroll from Basilica Concepcion de Nuestra Señora to Retiro park and…read moredecided to quell the Mexican food craving. It's a clean little cafe with the kitchen in the middle. They have outdoor seating on the sidewalk, and in summer the front facade opens to bring the outdoors inside. I was greeted by a polite energetic server who guided me through the menu. The Nachos Braseados were delicious! Thick house made tortilla chips, covered in shredded cheese, fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, guacamole, anda couple of jalapeños if you like it spicy. The guacamole left something to be desired, (zesty, but pre-made and over-salted I think). Otherwise delicious nachos, with a yummy smokey undertone. The tacos Mexicanos are a plate full of ingredients that you assemble as you please. I love build your own food because I like variety and you can make each bite different. You get a tray of 5-6 small tortillas, a cup of lightly seasoned shredded barbacoa meat, a cup of Pico de gallo salsa, a cup of guacamole, and a dose of Chipotle sauce. The meat was good, with a little fat to keep it rich. Go easy on the smokey Chipotle sauce, unless you like it spicy. Ole'!! I was pleasantly surprised by finding this place. If I'm in the area, I'll stop in again.

I love love this place. Found this place on my way to my favorite pattisserie and I thought to try…read morethe food for dinner. Went in on a saturday night without reservation and got my seat. The guy, Jose Maria was so helpful with the recommendation. I ordered chuleta de ternera (400gr) medium cooked and it was divine!!!, I almost regreted my decision to not order the premium galician beef, but maybe for another day. My friend ordered vegetable lasagna and it was also superb!!! I finished the dinner with the dessert pastel de dulce de tequila, oh my...I didn't even know that tequila could be use in dessert! Will definitely coming back to try another dishes. Oh I need to mention that the service staffs were very attentive. A must in barrio de Salamanca!

Ended up here with colleagues for a late afternoon lunch. After much debate, we settled on oxtail…read morecroquetas, artichokes stuffed with some meat (alcachofas confitada), and the grand steak, the Chuleton de Vaca. While everything was good, the Chuleton de vaca was cooked to perfection (medium rare), and was 1 kilo, excellent cut. The appetizers were excellent as well. One of the better steaks I had my last visit to Madrid.

The best Argentinian beef is well, in Argentina. But if you want to get a taste of the food here,…read moretry this place. Their churrasco is pretty impressive and will NOT leave you hungry, and it's quite a pleasant atmosphere inside. Remember, Argentinian beef is better taken rare or med-rare. Don't expect to see charred steaks on your plate. The service is OK. Don't forget to try out some of the desserts, especially the Dulce de Leche.

For those of you that aren't familiar with Spanish Dinner Habits, make a reservation and expect to have the first seating at 9pm. The food was spectacular!

Incredible view. Good food. Try the home made tacos. I know it's not what you'd expect but they…read morewere lovely.

I had to make sure that La Vaca Argentina is now just La Vaca. I think they had a renovation and…read moremade the place look a lot more airy and woody. Went there for late (11 is late?) night drinks with friends, ordered the usual gin and tonic (bombay) and there were no free chips and or olives, but hey this wasnt your regular bar (I guess?). Price wise for a medio gin tonic, well, okay but I think I'll just order the big one instead next time. The stars are more for the service and ambiance for a chill night out, nothing too loud or crowded. I still want to come to try the supposedly famous argentinian steak, but...is it still argentinian? Veremos.

Very rude service. The kind of service that wants you to eat fast and get out as quick as possível…read more We (two people) ordered a New York Strip Steak and an Hamburguer. Both tasted terrible and were overcooked and burned (check the photos). Never will return.

I ate the Brooklin Burger, alfredo's size. I ordered my meat well done, and it came a little…read moreundercooked. The burger was ok. The bread had too much olive oil and butter, is not a gourmet bread, and it tasted like a cheap, but good bread you can buy at the grocery store. The french fries comes with the burger, and they were the worse part. Regular french fry you buy at the grocery store, not well cooked, kinda greesy, and some of them had different taste - maybe the cook used the same oil to fry something else? The beer I asked was a Paulaner. The temperature was perfect, the glass was perfect, and it harmonized really well with the burger. The environment is cool, and I liked the decoration. All in all, it is a good place to visit if you still haven't. I would go there again with no problem, but only if I had no other choice or if I were going with someone else that were visting the place for the first time.
