We were in Madrid for a soccer game and looked up what was going on in the city. Found this…read morefestival and was so pleased by it!! They have all different food trucks, including trucks with wine and beer, and tons of variety for food. We got a mix of both (burgers, crepes, fries, etc.) They also had live music the whole time we were there. Made for a great setting for lunch! For sure worth stopping by and enjoying and afternoon at the festival!

This festival provided the biggest range of cultural cuisines that I got to experience in Spain…read more(the majority of restaurants in Madrid serve Spanish food only). After wandering from food truck to food truck for about an hour, I decided on Venezuelan Arepas, loaded fries, and a Spanish beer. I went with Spanish friends and it was fun for all of us to try so many new foods that we didn't know were even sold in Madrid. It was refreshing to see the cultures meshing. This food truck fest happens a few times a year (check their website for the dates!).

Delicious food and a friendly environment…read more The burgers are particularly worth trying, they are possibly the best I've had in Madrid. The chili is also nice, not too hot but still tasty, and the onion rings are cooked to perfection. The staff are very friendly and accommodating and the beer ice cold and served in pints (or jarras as they're called here!) Pudding is typically delicious American fare, luxurious and indulgent. Overall, it deserves 5/5.

Absolutely disgusting. Burger meat is chewy and poorly cooked. The restaurant is extremely dirty…read moreand they have pictures of naked women on the wall. I was very embarrassed to bring my family here looking for "American" food

First time in Madrid and we're lucky that we found Mentrida via google maps because this place gave…read moreus our first exposure to patatas bravas and it left a memorable impression! The aioli and spicy red sauce had us asking for me that we ordered another round. We really enjoyed most of the dishes we ordered - the grilled pork ears (not really grilled, more fried) was the standout. They were so tender and delicious. I've only had them prepared chinese style so this was such a surprise to try them a different style. Another solid A+ choice was the fried squid. They looked like pale onion rings on a plate. The visual impression wasn't great but on a taste level, this was some of the freshest squid I've ever had. We raved about it and ended up comparing other restaurant's squid we tried on this trip to Mentrida's. Two misses that I unfortunately need to mention - skip the grilled octopus. It certainly had the visual appeal when the server placed the dish on the table but there was no flavor. The entire dish fell flat and very short of expectations. Plus it was the most expensive item we ordered so that was disappointing. We wrongly assumed that jamon would be something more exciting but it's just boring sliced jam. Lesson learned. The two misses aside, we really enjoyed our meal at Mentrida. Despite language challenges, we received great service and attention.

And that's all I have to say about that. Jackée

This place is amazing! Yes, it's a chain but that doesn't make a difference here in Spain. Although…read morea chain, because it's Spain, your experience can differ from restaurant to restaurant in not just quality but options as well. The burgers, wraps, and fries at this location are awesome! They have a daily menu that gets you a burger with fries and a drink around 14€. The staff is friendly and helpful and speak English if you need it. The atmosphere is dimly lit and warm in essence. Overall, this is a great fast-food, chain restaurant. If you find another one of these, go and try it out, but this one is verified legit.

After three weeks in Europe (and lots of our own cooking,) we were jonesing for a premium burger…read more Lots of local and chain options where we're staying in the Salamanca neighborhood, but the gorgeous posters we'd seen for Goiko sucked us in. Neither of us speak much Spanish, but we can greet and order food and always try to be polite and friendly. No chance here, as we got an immediate eye-roll and a pantomime point to a QR code for the English menu from our cold and rushed server, Anton. We took a while to enjoy the well-written menu, but we're hustled to order several times. When we were ready, our fairly clear (don't think I butchered " BB Queen Smash y cerveza Alhambra Reserva" too much,) prefer was met with more eyerolls, and we had to resort to finger-pointing the menu. Were not asked how we wanted our burgers cooked, but maybe that's just the way here. The food, as expected, was less appealing than the photos - not disagreeable, though. Tasty, to a degree, but crazy salty and Shoe-leather dry. All of that would be forgivable, but there are no excuses for the rudeness and unwelcoming service. 35 Euro for two burger, two beers and a water that showed up as a premium glass-bottle example with (apparently) no option for tap. About as expected for price. Stay away, they don't want you here.
