Arguably the best burger in Madrid and potentially all of Europe (or even the world if you are…read morebold). Located in a food court in Mercado Chamberí this food stall is truly a temple of meat. The folks here bring a true passion for sourcing the best ingredients and preparing them a traditional way. Cooked over wood on a traditional parilla, they prepare a variety of high-end Spanish beef and pork dishes. Think Rubia Gallega steaks (prized beef) and interesting ibérico pork cuts. Heavenly! While the burger (made with Rubia Gallega beef) is incredible, don't sleep on the Pluma if you like pork. This may be the single best bite of an animal I have had in my life anywhere in the world (challenged only by some incredible sushi). Go here and be prepared for a religious experience! They have great wine too

On our last night in Madrid, my husband and I couldn't have Tapas or Pinchos anymore so we tried to…read moresearch for restaurants around our hotel and Juancho's BBQ was one of top rating recommendation both on google and TripAdvisor. We were there without much expectation but extremely impressed by their service and what they served. There was no menu in English but the staff explained to us in details. Actually if you don't understand Spanish like us, it would be kind of difficult to order in the food court. We tried the PLUMA and LA TRUFADA. The wait wasn't too bad about 20-25 minutes after we ordered and it was totally worth it. The PLUMA was well-cooked, soft inside and immediately melt in your month when you have it. The patty in LA TRUFADA was super juicy and great matched with brioche bun. The meals were also served with grilled potatoes which were amazingly creamy and tasty. My husband and I were so satisfied and decided to visit again for lunch before our flight back to New York. We highly recommend travelers to give them a chance to try their burger and BBQ.

It stayed with me for a few hours. The cheddar (switched from provolone), bacon and onions on the burger worked well together. I ended up wishing the cheddar was stronger and the arugula was non-existent. The highlight of it was the truffle sauce which blended with everything including the boiled potatoes and my wife's fries. Her sweet and a bit spicy Iberian pork was juicy, but the fries were a disappointment. They had too much crust and were a bit over done. Just to note the area this restaurant was located was almost as crowded as Time Square on New Year's Eve due to the Holidays, so they may have been busier than normal.

Good food, but the service left a lot to be desired. From the moment we sat, everything felt like a…read morerush job. We later found out they were in the middle of a shift change. It could have been smoother had they just communicated about it, but that did not happen. We eventually got someone to settle our check. The food was great. The Beef Low Loin was seasoned well, but slightly undercooked so the chew was hard to get through. The fries were light and crisp and overall good. The Homemade Brownie was delicious with the Butterscotch ice cream. I wish the brownie would have been hot; that would have put it over the top.

Unfortunately the Gayagum, in the center of Madrid was a little disappointing. The squid was clearly frozen before it went into the broth. The Bullgogi, nicely presented by our friendly server, was ok-ish. Appetizer and side-dishes out of the jar, but that's usual and didn't bother too much.

I am reviewing the Steak Burger on Gran Via, which is so new it hasn't made it to yelp yet. I was…read morelured in by the decor, a cool mix of, chesterfields, Italian modern, and industrial. The initial service was good, I ordered the BBQ burger without cheese medium rare. Besides the Monterey Jack cheese that I skipped, it's supposed to have BBQ sauce, bacon, grilled onions, & lettuce. The burger was delivered medium well, the bacon was skimpy, and grilled onions were raw. I'm not sure if it was because of being overlooked, the burger was tasteless, the small amount of bacon, and BBQ sauce were lost, all the came through were the onions, which I removed, in an effort to taste the meat. It was a hot day in Madrid, so I ordered more water when the burger arrived, it arrived well after it was finished. As a former restaurant manager, I watched the three waiters leave the service counter empty handed five times while a waited. The service in Spain is very good, so this is not a cultural thing. In conclusion, Spanish beef is good, so don't be nervous about trying a Spanish burger joint, just not this one!

The mac and cheese is flavorful, you can tell good cheeses were used, the mashed potatoes were good but the gravy is a bit tasteless and the beans are hearty and tangy.
