The owner Javier is extremely proud of his dishes and eager to share them with anybody that walks through the door. He was able to explain the dishes and hold conversation with me in English as well.

It's truly a hidden gem that provides one of the greatest dining experiences I've had in Madrid.

Reseña en ingles y español…read more Tinto y tapas was the perfect place to stop in for a mid-day snack (or lunch) after touring the museums all morning. We arrived when they opened at 1:00pm. Within 15 minutes all the tables were full. Our servers were nice and attentive. I was happy that there were multiple vegetarian tapas to choose from (which are hard to find in Madrid). We ordered a spinach and ricotta empanada, a sweet onion and cheese empanada, and a Margherita pizza. Everything was delicious. The pizza was excellent. We couldn't finish everything. We left full and happy. Tinto y tapas era el lugar perfecto para parar a tomar un tentempié (o almuerzo) al mediodía después de recorrer los museos toda la mañana. Llegamos cuando abrieron a la 13:00. En 15 minutos todas las mesas estaban llenas. Nuestros servidores fueron amables y atentos. Me alegró que hubiera varias tapas vegetarianas para elegir (que son difíciles de encontrar en Madrid). Pedimos una empanada de espinacas y ricotta, una empanada de cebolla dulce y queso y una pizza Margherita. Todo estuvo delicioso. La pizza era excelente. No pudimos terminar todo. Salimos llenos y felices.

This is a spot that feels like a little bar but is actually more like a casa with some food items…read more Here, they are big on pig and there are Iberico hams located on and around the bar for easy access. If you are vegan, coming here will only piss you off. In fact, a vegan in Madrid in general is ill-advised. The setting feels historic and rustic with exposed brick and stone that appears to be centuries old. They seem to make everything (both food and drink) behind that cramped bar which explains why most of their menu items are cold, pre-made, or easy to assemble from short lists of raw ingredients. This does not mean that anything is bad. It just means it is like producing charcuterie in a dorm room bar. A large number of items involve Iberico Ham and one of the barmen is constantly shaving off thin pieces for service. In fact the freebie snack they send out from the kitchen had some Iberico ham and Manchego cheese on it which was a really nice warm up of what to expect. Over the noonish lunch hour, I was the only tourist in the place surrounded by many locals that clearly know about this spot. I liked those odds for assuring me of a genuine authentic experience. It was an accurate predictor. I'm not the most experienced when it comes to true Spanish tapas but this seemed to be a very genuine depiction of what the locals look for in a rustic Iberico ham experience. And frankly, even if it wasn't I can't find anything to really complain about. It was a cool historic setting, there was ice-cold vermouth from a tap, and I spent an hour shoving local Morcilla (blood sausage) and Iberico pig parts into my pie hole for the better part of an hour. It was a great experience any way you choose to look at it.
