Stopped at this cozy cocktail bar one night for a drink. There is a small eclectic snacks menu. Friendly service and good drinks. read more

DF Bar - Classic marg - Mexican Near Me - Madrid, M

Great Mexican spot for Tortas! I had a Milpa Alta (Torta with Nopal) which was really good. In addition, I loved their sauces. Due to my "problem" with spicy sauces I managed to eat the light one with the spoon as it was tasty and I also enjoyed a lot the spicy one that I put in the Torta as it had a very good flavor coming from the habaneros. I ended up finishing it and when the waiter saw that he gave me a shot of frozen margarita as a reward! It goes without saying that the service is good and extremely friendly. read more

Where I come from "Mexican" food does not necessarily consist of authentic tortas. This spot however channels Mexico directly so do not expect to find any enchiladas, fajitas or tacos on this menu. Instead, you can choose from a mouth-watering array of these special sandwiches, nachos, tamales, tostadas and some patatas covered in a variety of sauces. Craving a little taste of Mexico, I went with the nopales torta seeing as it was marked as being the most "mexican" choice on the menu, while my friend went with the milanesa, the "classic." A self-proclaimed guaca-holic, I could not pass up on fresh guacamole to start. Everything was delicious. I was pleased to find you do not have to worry about the bread cutting up the roof of your mouth like a panini can do. Instead, it is soft and perfectly toasted. The flavor of the nopales (which is also vegetarian!) mixed with the avocado, beans and other fixings made for a satisfyingly flavorful and filling sandwich. On a special note, I love spicy so was thrilled to be handed a platter of jalapenos and a tube of their chipotle picante sauce to kick up the heat a bit. Something that is not always an option in Spain! Overall, this place was fast and not expensive at all for what you get. read more

I have been to this place many times! It's been awhile so I went back today and it's just as good as ever! I ordered the half order of nachos and la mamacita! The nachos were great, had a mixture of real and fake cheese and great fresh avocado. I loved my torta too! My boyfriend order one that had chicken and it was also delicious. If you are looking for spicy, you can definitely find it here; they give you 3 sauces that are quite spicy! So delicious and I walked out super full! Good prices! A little small, i think there were like 8 tables (if that) so it's best to go with a small group! read more

I loveeeee this place! The owners are from Acapulco and truly serve authentic Mexican food. As someone who went to university in California, I was pretty used to shitty Mexican food. It wasn't until I really went all over Mexico for a roadtrip that my eyes opened up to what true Mexican food is about :) This place is the real deal in Madrid. I happened to find it by accident and just walked in. Ended up sitting for a good 3 hours, just sipping Micheladas and getting work done. That was last Saturday. Today's a Tuesday and I'm back here again hahaa. Its that good. The staff's super nice and courteous, they have some chill background music going, the drinks are nicee, and the food - ohhh soo good! Definitely a keeper read more

DF Bar - Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Madrid, M

This place is fantastic. I'm so happy I walked down this street on my way to Sol from Anton Martin. Authentic Mexican tortas, delicious sloppy sandwiches. I selected what sounded the most authentic to this non-Spanish speaker, the Cuauhtemoc features nopal y huevo. I never had cactus until visiting Madrid and the taste is growing on me. The sandwich was grilled before my eyes with beans, avocado, tomato, and cheese filling the remainder. Delicious. I hope to go back. They start you with jalapeno and cilantro chips also. read more

I haven't had the best experience with nachos in Madrid, but the ones at DF Bar were seriously amazing, with multiple types of gooey cheese and guac on top. We finished in approximately 30 seconds. The margaritas were also delicious, shaken right at the table. I like how they specialize in tortas, which is something you don't always see on Mexican menus in the states. Scrumptious, especially with their super spicy hot sauce. Came here on Cinco de Mayo, and it was the perfect celebration. :) read more

I don't know that it's authentic Mexican food, but it's pretty good (and more importantly SPICY!!) food none the less. It's a super small place, maybe 9 tables and some seating at the bar, so I'd imagine it could get noisy or have a pretty long wait. If you have to wait, it's worth checking out the global craft beer store just down the street! Every table has a bottle of homemade smokey red hot sauce on it- the kind you don't think is too spicy until it kicks you after. I LOVE spice, so this already was a good sign. Margaritas (5eu): FRESH, not made from a mix. salt on the rim, and the option to have it straight with rocks on the side (a perfect option). They are strong and delicious and well priced. Chips & Guac (8eu): Wish there was more guac for the chips, but still a decent amount of good guac, meaning just the right amount of salt and not too oniony. Served with a dish of much appreciated pickled jalepeno to spice it up if you wanted. Tortas (Tinga de pollo & Miss Piggy) (6.50-7.50eu each): These were both filling and delicious- the buns were toasted and pressed perfectly and the filling (both with a cheese/meat/sauce combo) they were hot, oozy and filling. I poured on the homemade hot sauce from the bottle on the table and some slices of the marinated jalepenos and my mouth was on fire- a feeling I've yet to have since in Spain. My friend got the mole tacos (I didn't try it) which came with 3 shells and a small bowl of filling. He said they were delicious but not nearly enough for a meal, so he ended up getting a second order. They have a deal if you order 3 of the same they'll knock a euro off the price. The service is so friendly and attentive, a great experience overall. read more

Went here last night with some friends and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the service was great! I ordered a Pacifico cerveza and was pleased with my drink! As far as food goes we ordered the tacos al pastor and the tacos al pibil both were great with amazing flavor and very savory! The prices were fair with my order coming out to ten euros for a beer and a very delicious taco plate. If you are looking for delicious mexican food in the heart of Madrid I would definitely recommend checking out the DF bar! Also the bar is perfectly located near very popular clubs and other bars so perfect place to get a quick bite to eat and then enjoy the rest of the night. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Awesome! Loved this place. We finally found spicy in Spain. The tortas were great and the tacos de pollo ahogados was amazing! We'll definitely be back next time we visit Madrid. read more

Would have given it five stars but the server ignored us mostly the whole time My suiz torta was amazing though! Rated purely on food 5 stars, service 2 stars read more

I only tried Torta. Great value for the quality, quantity and price. Very friendly service. It opens all afternoon/evening so if you are hungry before most restaurants open for dinner, this is a good option. Credit card is accepted. read more

I think the food here was great. It was very quick and attentive and the service was as should be. However, I think it is a little pricey. Takos Al Pastor has the same offerings (maybe less options on the Tortas but I can live with that) and its all at half the price. Their tortas are like 6 EUR and up meanwhile Takos al Pastor are 3 EUR or 3.50 EUR. Don't get me wrong, the food was great but too pricey for me. Wouldn't go here if I'm on a budget! read more

This restaurant is fantastic. I am still dreaming about the nachos. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely the best meal I've had in Madrid, maybe even all of Spain. read more

DF Bar - Mexican Near Me - Madrid, M

Wanted a break from Spanish food so decided to try Mexican ha. Got the cheese nachos and thought they were okay. Also ordered a chicken dish which I thought was strictly okay. Portions were large and the prices were decent. Service was friendly but pretty slow - and they weren't very busy. Overall, a meh experience. read more

For being a long way from Mexico, these tortas are to die for. First you start with the nachos, I know they don't have carne asada on the mm but damn their good. By the way they don't have carne asada anywhere in Spain . Then you sip on you beer or margarita. Then the torta comes and it's cooked to perfection. The toppings are just right and the bread is toasted right. I recommend coming here that small torta is going to fill you up, trust me I know I'm surprised too. read more

We came in for drinks and chips and it was a lot of fun. The wait staff is very friendly and we had a great time chatting with them while we drank. Really cool place. read more

This place is good enough that I'm reviewing to immediately after my meal. The food is absolutely true to Mexico City style cooking and simultaneously fairly unique and creative. Very busy: was here from 2pm to 3:30pm on Sunday and there was someone waiting for a seat at all times. read more

My boyfriend and I found this place through yelp and it happened to be just a few blocks down from the Cats Hostel where we are staying in Madrid. Though I've been loving the spanish tapas and pintxos I have been craving some authentic mexican food. I was not disappointed! To start the margaritas were made with fresh lime juice and simply divine. I had the tacos and it came swimming in a tomatillo verde sauce. Excellent. I would highly recommend this place. Great prices and quality. read more

Great prices, I had the chicken torta and it was DELICIOUS!!! we've been traveling Europe for 5 weeks and in need of some Mexican food. Definitely recommend! read more

Delightful. Good service and good food. Try The sándwich with the fried plantain and a hibiscus margarita

Being of Mexican parents I was a little skeptical as we walked through the single door. When they say hole in the wall, they mean it. Don't let that discourage you. The food was excellent. The nachos were as good as others have reviewed and the tortas were fantastic. Look for this place just off Atocha. It's worth it. read more

Great restaurant for someone visiting Madrid. The man didn't speak any English, but we were still able to communicate easily. The tacos weren't anything special, but the tortas were great! We wanted to get the nachos, but unfortunately he said they were out of guacamole. The price was very reasonable and the restaurant was very clean and cute. read more

In my book, which as a mere figment of metaphorical speech doesn't literally exist, so don't look for it (though even if it did I don't know why you would -- it'd be 90% prattle, 10% substance, probably), sandwiches are evaluated on their ratio of pig parts to non-pig parts, favoring exorbitant quantities of the former. The porcine diet, you see, satisfies my hunger for sentient life. In the past, this hadn't given me so much as an iota of moral scruple-age. On the premises of DF, however, lust for the succulency (which I'm glad is a word) of animal consciousness between the enamel is taken much much too far. I've included two "much"s to denote the somber severity of what I'm about to say. Hold on to something. On the menu I found none other than Miss Piggy, presumably martyred. While admittedly a porcine creature, she has certain qualities that, I would think, generally preclude being eaten. For one, she has presented at the Oscars. Surely this is legitimate I'm-not-to-be-eaten behavior. The circumstances were striking enough to make me think a bit before chowing down. read more
