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.

My only complaint was that we didn't know we could order tinto verano instead of bottled wine.

I was at the place at 1:15 when they open on Sunday. I walked in and there was 2 guys sitting at the bar. I saw several workers in back at a table. One came to me saying they don't open until 1:30, He was a young guy with British accent. I told him the web site said 1:15 and he said well I could come back later but it is fully booked for lunch and I said it looks fully booked with no one in the place. I ask him if he wanted my business and he gave me a stupid look. I ended up going to Taberna El Sur witch was fantastic. I hope the owner fires the asshole with the British accent because no restaurant needs workers pushing customers off. What a shame. read more

Cómo buena argentina que soy, la carne me pierde. Soy clienta de La Cabaña desde que lo descubrí en Madrid, hace 15 años. La carne que se come aquí es excelente, y ni en Argentina la encuentras así muchas veces. Lo mejor se lo traen aquí. Además de eso también soy fanática del vino tinto, y siempre tengo qwue volver para probar unos nuevo porque tienen una bodega inmensa!! Además el local es muy bonito. Lo renovaron en el 2013 y si ya me gustaba antes, ahora es que me encanta. Mantiene la tradición pero se han modernizado un montón. Larga vida a La Cabaña, por muchos años más! read more

Exhausted after a day of exploring Madrid, we stumbled upon La Cabaña Argentina on Calle de Ventura de la Vega. Famished and ready to refuel, we were delighted by this unexpected find. La Cabaña Argentina turned out to be a fantastic steakhouse! The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender and bursting with flavor, and the scallops were equally delicious with a perfectly buttery texture. Everything about our meal was perfect - a true lifesaver after a long day of sightseeing! read more

A Massive Disappointment: Style Over Substance As a…read moreprofessional Chef, I entered Posada de la Villa with high expectations for a masterclass in Spanish cuisine. Unfortunately, the evening was a masterclass in how to alienate a customer. Despite being the very first party seated at 7:45 PM, we were treated as if we were invisible. The service was nonexistent; we watched in disbelief as tables seated long after us finished three courses, paid, and left while we sat staring at an empty table. When the food finally arrived at 8:45 PM, it was an insult to the craft. I ordered the rabbit and rice, only to be served a plate of shards and bones. The rice was undercooked and aggressively seasoned with nothing but salt. The steak was gray and overcooked, and the "branzino" was a meager half-portion served at a premium price. I felt cheated. To top it off, the "historic" charm is a total facade. While the decor is beautiful, the "ancient establishment" vibe is fake--it's just a 20-year-old business in a restored shell. Between the deplorable food quality and the dismissive service, this was a culinary catastrophe. Save your money; this place is all smoke and mirrors. Asked 4 waiters for service, no one speaks English... sad

It feels like you're eating inside an old wine cellar, with beautiful brick-vaulted ceilings, stone walls, and a cozy atmosphere that makes the experience feel very traditional and distinctly Spanish. We ordered the Iberian ham croquettes, the grilled goat cheese salad, and a charcoal-grilled steak with roasted potatoes and Padrón peppers. The croquettes were okay, but they were easily the least memorable dish of the meal. The goat cheese salad was excellent, with creamy, lightly grilled cheese that paired perfectly with the fresh vegetables. The steak was the standout. It was cooked exactly as requested, flavorful, tender, and served with delicious roasted potatoes and peppers. The staff were friendly, attentive, and never rushed us, making for a relaxed dinner from start to finish. I'm giving it 4 stars because one of the starters didn't quite live up to the rest of the meal, but the atmosphere, service, and quality of the steak more than made up for it. If you're looking for classic Castilian cuisine in a unique cellar-like setting near Madrid's major attractions, La Mi Venta is definitely worth a visit.
