Due to its proximity to our hotel and the high reviews, my wife and I decided to have our inaugural…read moretapas experience, and honestly, it did not disappoint. In Spain, I still get confused about seating. "Is this place a seat-yourself place or a wait-to-be-seated place?" Sometimes it is hard to tell; therefore, to avoid an awkward encounter by making a command decision, I stand in one central place awkwardly blocking the waitress/waiter until they tell me what to do. Thank God for my wife, though, who makes the decision and just sits. Luckily, she was right. This is one of those just-sit-and-wait-for-the-waitress places. Now, before you order know that you are welcome to take a look inside at the food. Also, know that some items on the menu are not available at certain times of the day (I'm sorry but I'm still in the dark as to what those items are). Nevertheless, they have a great selection of tapas (midday snacks, translation curiosity of me). The great thing about this place is that there are zero tapas and drinks that breach the €6 mark. In fact, everything we got was under €3.75. Our most expensive item was the tortilla de patata, which was deliciously proportioned (a great ratio of runny to solid). Not only was the food and drink very cheap but it was also delicious. We tried a smorgasbord of tapas. I did not necessarily delight in all the tapas, some were just not my bag baby. However, others were definitely my bag (see pictures for details). In total, we got 6 tapas and five drinks and only paid €27. Overall, this is definitely a great spot for tapas. Whether you're out with your date or you're bringing the kids along for the ride, this little place off Calle de Serrano is perfect to break the seal on your first tapas experience. Enjoy!

They open at 9pm and were full for reservations but had a bar table open for the 3 of us. We got a bottle of wine and tapas that were delicious. The liquid cheese croquette was appealing and unique so we tried it. Loved it but it's very rich in flavor. The burrata was a prefect appetizer along with the flatbread we ordered. We also got the mushroom croquette which was the best we had in Madrid! The waiter was actually the bartender and he was awesome. Very friendly and gave us recs on what to order. Overall, well deserved 5 star and would recommend trying this place out! Might want to make reservations if going for dinner since it's so popular and in demand.

We were looking for a place to eat and happen to be standing outside this restaurant. We decided…read moreto try it and was not disappointed. It's a typical small bar but actually has the main dining room downstairs. But we stayed near the bar where we saw locals grabbing a quick bite. We ordered the selection of meats and cheese and decided on the mixed paella. It was so delicious. The front of the line staff was very attentive to all our needs. They made sure we had everything we needed. The food was simply wonderful. I highly recommend their paella even though it takes 30 minutes to cook. It's well worth the wait. What a great way to start our trip in Spain. Try them out. I promise you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend them.

It looked like it offered things to satisfy one's thirst and one's hunger. We were correct. Sangria. Meat and cheese play. Fried ham and cheese bites. My God. It was terrific. The ham and sausage were amazing, as was the toast and the cheese and the guava. The sangria was a generous enough pour without them giving us a pitcher. I'd go back. And I'd probably order the same thing as before. Sit outside under an umbrella when the weather is nice. Great spot.

Pretty nice neighborhood bar…read more If you would like to visit a typical Spanish bar, then Selva is your spot. There are no frills associated with Selva, but it is a great place to meet up with some friends and share a few drinks. From my perception, it seems like Selva is a neighborhood type bar because many of the bar patrons seemed to know each other. Also, I did not notice many tourists . . . beside myself. Like most Spanish bars, you are provided with some small tapas when you order beverages. I did not have the opportunity to try Selva's food, but the food looked pretty standard. Looking at the menu, the food is pretty inexpensive.
