The main course was sliced fish absolutely loaded with the tiniest splinter bones imaginable, so be careful. It was incredibly bland and flavorless, served with cold potatoes and peas. Tourist trap? It certainly felt like one. Don't mean to be rude but have to be honest. Great service and decent prices gets then 2 stars! So far, our experience with Madrid food has been a lot of stale bread and mayonnaise on just about everything. Hopefully today changes my mind.

Cuban food in Spain.... I've always said Cuban food is some of the best food on the planet due to…read morethe African influence in the food. With that said this place appears it won't disappoint just from the look of the food on the other customers tables. I came late for drinks and appetizers and didn't get a chance to order a main dish, but the appetizer were good. I'll get another chance to try the food before I leave, it's already on my list. Im looking forward to it. Update.... came back and had the food, they get one more star. Living in Miami, home of Little Havana I've eaten some of the best Cuban food outside of Cuba (I've been to Cuba as well shout out to El Aljibe). This place can compete with the best of them.... lastly that tamale was something special....I'll be back again before my trip is over most definitely.

Sorry, it took me a minute to wake up from the food coma i went into just from mentioning what we ate. If visiting downtown Madrid, come hit up this hidden spot. The music, food, and drinks will make you feel at ease and amazing. Salsa music is very old school and it is not fair to only give it 5 stars when it deserves more than that. Thank you, La colonial and their staff. Amazing service.

Some friends recommended me this place and I had faith in it because of that…read more The 2 stars I'm giving here, are not about food quality, cleanliness of the restaurant or because of poor service, it's because, for some reason, Venezuelans think they can charge ridiculous prices for food just because it's a "Venezuelan" restaurant. I'm well aware this is in Malasaña but 16 euros for a roasted chicken and 2 beverages? You gotta be kidding me. Quality-wise I can get the exact same chicken elsewhere for half the price. I sat down and as soon as i saw the prices I just left. Because I`ll rather spend 19 euros on an excellent sirloin steak with french fries and pimientos de piquillo anywhere else than paying 16 euros for a friggin roasted chicken. If you dig the place and the neighborhood and don't care getting charged outrageous prices (even higher than in other venezuelan restaurants) than everywhere else in Madrid, come. It's clean and they are polite.

I was surprised to find that tortillas in Spain are vastly different from tortillas in The States: They are warm potato cheese cakes, almost like scalloped potatoes, but with extra fillings like onion, ham, etc. A command of Spanish is definitely needed here, but I was okay just as long as my other two friends ordered for me. If I had to order on my own, I could have easily whipped out my Google Translate app and gotten through everything okay. ;-) The tortillas were FILLING. I mean, I only had a couple slices and I was completely full! The nice cold beer really helped wash things down. I think I'll keep this place in my roster the next time I find myself meandering around the streets of Madrid.

From the outside, it might not look like much, but this is now one of my favorite restaurants! First of all, the service was fantastic. Unlike other local establishments, our server was fast, attentive, and most importantly, she gave us the best recommendations! This place was packed by locals on a Thursday night so that alone was a great sign. We ordered vino tinto and beers. And they brought out some fried calamari, mussels, and bread to nibble on while we looked at the menu. We ended up getting the tomato and tuna salad which was fantastic! I can't wait to replicate this at home. Then we had jamón iberico and some tomato bread, and for our main course we feasted on a seafood platter (pictured below). That was definitely the star of the show. Although it took some work and was a little messy to peel all of the shells off, it was worth every effort! The seafood was so fresh! Lastly, they brought out two types of liquors for us to try after dinner, along with little chocolate ice cream bites and chocolate truffles. Overall, this place was also perfectly priced. For all of this we paid only €110, which I thought was a great deal for a group of 4, considering all the food and drinks we ordered. I would definitely recommend this place to locals and visitors alike. It's a little loud, so I wouldn't recommend it for an intimate date. But great for small groups!
