I don't know but I did eat a lot in my trip across Spain... this was the first one I walked in to and the food and drinks were awesome. The service is great!

Came here extremely tired. All we wanted was a place that was opened early for some food. So glad…read morewe came! Here is were I discovered the simplest yet most delicious way to eat tomatoes. PAN CON TOMATE. Simple crushed tomatoes with olive oil on a soft slice of bread and Jamon Serrano. It was grandious and life changing. The coffee latte was good too, especially for the jet lag. The sandwich with an over easy egg was excellent too. Sitting near the street on the outside is the best way to enjoy it. They do not speak English like most places here despite all the tourists who visit Madrid. Service was slow, Spanish do everything at their pace, often times in a lazy way, get used to it.

The service was fast and very friendly, which made the experience even better. Everything we tried was delicious, well priced, and absolutely worth the visit. We had café con leche, freshly squeezed orange juice, toast with tomato, olive oil and ham, toast with Spanish tortilla, and ham croquettes. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area, we'll definitely come back next time we're in Spain.

I don't know why this place doesn't have a higher rating!…read more Reminds me of an old school NYC cafeteria with efficient service, food that comes out quick, good menu, and tasty. The history of this place is a nice bonus too. The chocolate and porra were delicious! We also got the ham and egg sandwich, jamón y tomato paleta, tortilla pincho, and coffee. All hit the spot that we came back the day after too!

La camarera que la reemplazó nos ignoró, probablemente porque éramos estadounidenses. Fuimos educados e intentamos hablar español. Ella fue grosera.

We sat at the bar, and all we could smell was the semi-clean bathroom--and I say that not from visiting it, but from the sheer odor. Things went south when a burly German Messerschmitt sat next to us and compounded the smell. I'm not being Teutonophobic--I'm just telling it like it was ( said every xenophobic ) The tortilla that lured us here was fine, but too sweet for my taste--like the rest of the pintxos. Or maybe it was the side of Clorox.

Someone recommended this place to my friend so we stopped by, and wow! Delicious…read more The Spanish "tortilla" was packed with flavor. The onions were jammy and so flavorful; they made this dish amazing. Definitely different from all the other tortillas I had. Grilled beef sweetbread bruschetta, with melted havarti cheese and chimichurri was rich but not filling, so I ordered the Red tuna tartar with wasabi pearls. My friend had the oxtail fajita- which she loved. All of the food we had here was great. I only wish we had been told that we could only get the dolce de leche volcano if we ordered it at the same time as our food. I was really looking forward to it. Instead we had the carrot and ginger pie (cake) with yogurt and the lemon pie. Of note, this place is small, so be prepared to wait. You can sit and eat at the bar.

It was late one evening during my trip to Spain and I was tired. Tired from walking around all day…read moreand very tired of seeing all the same tapas at every single restaurant I went to. That's when I enlisted the help of this nifty website called Yelp and looked for the best places to eat in Madrid. After perusing the list of the top spots for a while, Casa Federica stood out to me because of its unique menu offerings. I wanted something different, and here this place was, waving its hands in the air, saying: "Bring me, your tired, your tapas frustration!" So I headed over and boy, was I pleased. My sister and I sat inside this cute little place and were helped by one of the friendliest guys who didn't mind explaining the menu to us or making suggestions on what to eat. We started with the spinach buñuelos and ordered the chicken with a gravy sauce as well as a pumpkin and cheese empanada. The buñuelos were honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten. They were very lightly fried but the spinach mix was amazing and so unique that it's hard to describe it. They didn't taste like gross spinach, but they were delicious and soft. The empanada was also a hit. Even though the menu says "pumpkin and cheese," the empanada was more pumpkin than cheese which was nice because I really love pumpkin. The bread wasn't too doughy and it was a good size to split between me and my sister. The chicken dish, which we ordered as our main meal, was amazing. Now, Spain is full of jamón so finding chicken anywhere is a daunting task, and finding chicken that's actually good is even more difficult. However, the chicken at Casa Federica was amazing. The gravy-like sauce on top of it was perfect and not too salty but just savory enough to satisfy. The combination of friendly service, ambiance and food gives this place five stars. It was a welcome reprieve from the standard Spanish fare and an experience I enjoyed a lot.

Tables were small so the three of us shared two round tables against the wall and it was perfect. We ordered the octopus, croquettes, mini sliders, and the Russian salad. I had an aperol spritz. Mini sliders were awesome! We all agreed. A weird thing to order in Spain, I had no regrets! My friends particularly liked the Russian salad. The layer of diced calamari olives was an interesting twist I had not seen and I liked it. I was also a fan of the octopus skewers which were prepared very differently. They were flat and had a brown sauce that was very tasty! Service was super friendly and they were patient as we moved tables 3x in the beginning! Cool memorabilia along the stairway. Highly recommend!

There were plenty of places to pick from in downtown madrid, but some restaurants were closed, and others were not offering it that early for dinner. sidenote: i find it weird that spanish people eat dinner so late!!!! anyways, we started the meal off with a meat and cheese plate and got the seafood paella. they also gave us bread along with tomato paste. honestly the tomato paste was very very simple and reminded me of salsa...lol. the food portions are huge! make sure you come here with a very hungry stomach or multiple people. paella actually comes with 4 different options: seafood, chicken, mixed or something else. and for 10 bucks, you really cant go wrong with whatever you choose. The one thing i would comment on the paella is that it wasn't as flavorful as i imagined... but really can't complain for the price i paid. the service is very quick, and the person who was taking my order spoke english and was really helpful.
