In the Madrid airport area for one evening ahead of a flight the next day and staying down the street at the Clement Barajes Hotel.
On a Saturday night, I found few places open, but in a the small area where La Latina was located, there was definitely some activity worth checking out.
Of those (and wasn't interested in a beer joint), I found La Latina the most active, attractive and inviting. The place was packed, but was seated at a good table in the back.
Great service, a varied menu with some typical tapas selections and a number of other select options.
With our beverages, we enjoyed the typical gratis of olives and in this instance, more of that wonderful jamon Iberica.
My daughter & I split an order of the Calamares. They were a half order & delicious as expected as they had been all along our previous weeks' journey.
She was in the mood for a burger. La Latina offered up a very attractive burger, cooked just right & not too big on the size (good). The bite I had was really good.
Me, I kept it sort of light. With the olives and calamares already, I was happy with a toast if bread, olive oil, tomato, anchovy & manchego. Paired with a beer, that hit all the taste buds just right.
With the good service, upbeat & modern atmosphere + good eats, I'd certainly call this place 'fan worthy' and give it an easy 4 stars. read more
