Our faves: * Ropa Vieja - my son's fave - he almost didn't share this cuban style shredded beef * Bacalao confitado - creamy and decadent * Prawn Risotto - yummmm * Pimientos de Padron - mild and reminds me of shishito peppers * Pulpo a la plancha - Grilled octopus Next time I plan to try the Paella de Mariscos...

Nice spot with an unsuspecting entrance. We were ushered…read moreinto a room which seemed like all the tourists sat (everyone spoke English). Everything we ordered was good from the shishito peppers to a variety of paella. Oddly, they come show you the paella but serve it from the back. Wish they had just set the paellas down and let us serve ourselves.

First things first: make a reservation, or you could end up waiting an hour depending on your party…read moresize. The paella here is absolutely amazing! They even offer a Valencia-style version with rabbit if you're feeling adventurous, but I went for the Queen of the shellfish one. Note: paella must be ordered for at least two people, but I was hungry enough to eat for two myself, don't judge! The king red shrimp was hands down the best shrimp I've ever had.

My group shared the croquetas de jamón for appetizer and we shared a seafood paella and a chicken paella and there was enough left over to feed a 5th person.

After spending several hours at the Reina Sofia, Jamie W and I were feeling quite peckish and…read morerather indecisive about where to have lunch. We guessed many options around the Prado area might be tourist traps. Fortunately, this didn't appear to be one of them as it's a taberna that attracts local regulars as well as tourists like us. The manager/owner looked to know quite a few customers. It was pretty busy, so we were seated at a hi-top table in the bar area next to other non-Spanish, English-speaking customers. There were many small-to-medium tapa plates to consider in their menu. We weren't looking to stuff ourselves, so we ordered the 6,9€ half-order of Chiporones à la Plancha, which was grilled baby squids nestled on a mixed salad drizzled with balsamic (Photo 10). Our second dish was the 6,1€ half-order of Parrillada Verdu. It was a simple but satisfying grilled vegetable platter of sliced tomato,, onion, and root veggies (Photo 9). The last dish we ordered was an unexpected taste of home, the 9,9€ Ensalada Cesar. The reason for the higher price point was the addition of chicken and bacon to the lettuce, tomato, cheese, croutons, and Caesar dressing (Photo 8). The combination was pretty hearty and familiar-tasting. Even though we probably ate enough for a mid-afternoon meal, I couldn't help but inquire about the availability of grilled octopus (pulpo) because we saw it look quite tempting on a neighboring table. It was just as well that they were out because we didn't have room in our bellies for that. Our tapas selection was just fine all on its own. FOOD - 4 stars...skilled execution of familiar tapas, pretty tasty AMBIANCE - 4 stars...compact but cozy taberna, crowds quickly at lunch SERVICE - 3.5 stars..,efficient though a tad brusque because it was busy TOTAL - 4 stars...a serious dining option close to the museums RELATED - Exploring Madrid?

I had to step outside for cell service and the call took longer than planned. They ordered the paella. For my main, I got the squid but wasn't hungry by the time it came. I planned to have the artichoke as a side with the squid, but they brought it as an appetizer. It was a big portion and two of them. But they were perfect and my favorite dish . For my ordered appetizer, I requested a dish -sardines ? I thought, but it tasted more like anchovies. It wasn't what I expected. They brought out two bottles afterward- lemon cello and a berry liquor. Both were delicious and the group was divided on which was best. The plate of little chocolates melted in my mouth.

Also, I assume you need to close the menu for them to come and serve because it took them very long to do so. -Crispy pork belly 4/5. Super crispy but salty. -Cocido madrileño 5/5. The presentation was cute. -The soup was tasty and rich with flavor. The dry portion was filling with various meat cuts. Meatballs with house special sauce 4/5.
