We ordered drinks. I tried their sangria which was very good. We ordered two of their famous bombas. A potato fried on the outside and hollowed out and filled with spicy meat and potato. It was excellent. I called it a Spanish sloppy Joe! Once we finished those it was past seven so we ordered the grill pork ribs which were meaty and good. The prices were reasonable and our server was really hustling. By the time we left around 8pm there was a line formed waiting for a table. At that point the service did seem to be getting chaotic...

Really enjoyed this dining spot. We got la selección de tapas which comes with partridge pâté,…read morequeso manchego, ensaladilla rusa, croquetas de jamón y pollo, estofado de ciervo (potato stuffed with deer), and carcamusas (stewed pork). We got the patatas bravas, croqueton de gambas, and bomba trébol as well. Everything was really yummy and we enjoyed it all. I loved how varied the options were too. A drawback is that they only had one heater for an area that fit about 10-12 tables so it was quite chilly and our first waiter didn't pay attention to us so we waited a while to wait. However, the young waiter who stepped in was great and made up for it.

We had a fun evening out at Madrid's La Coquette Blues Bar…read more Got there at around 7:30 pm - doors open at 8, and a line forms outside the relatively small place, so that timing was perfect. Settled into the very cool cavern-like subterranean space with rough stone walls, vintage blues show posters and a terrific Chicago blues soundtrack. A waiter who spoke English took drink orders, and everybody got bowls of sunflower seeds in the shell. It got crowded, but not ridiculously so, because they limit admission, letting a few new people in when others leave. They feature a rotating roster of blues bands who each do a three-night run. Check out their web site (it's their Facebook page) for who's playing. As usual when I see a music listing somewhere, I looked the group up on YouTube, to check out what they actually sound like. The combo we caught - The Maria Avilas Quartet - came on at 9 pm. It was a good-time Chicago-style blues band with guitar, standup bass, drums and a female singer, and we stayed for most of the second set as well. The crowd was really upbeat and friendly, and the beer was cold. Later in the evening, the waiter offered selected people (lucky us!) free mini-shots. Bottom line: we really enjoyed the place, and highly recommend it for a fun evening out.

Seems like a place where Toledeans celebrate occasions and where shows and events happen. We went two nights in a row and it seemed like the big room was for scheduled parties. The smaller front room has a few tables where they serve a nice mixed tapas--especially the crunchy shrimp. A full bar, good wine selection and friendly service. Not your typical tapas or cevezeria, but a good change if you're getting bored of those.

Originally not part of my itinerary. But after talking to a…read morefriend, I decided to book a flamenco show. Perfect timing as it was right after my scheduled dinner. I'd actually never seen one before so this was a great treat. It was a full hour of pure emotions - pa dum psh. There were 2 female dancers and one email. Three other dudes completed the ensemble. One guitar player and 2 singers - all male - completed the ensemble. The venue opened 30 mins before the show started. That was just enough time for the bar to serve drinks to those imbibing. I didn't since I was doing a tasting menu right after. The full hour show was riveting. The male dancer was such a sight. They all had amazing footwork skills. The singers had amazing voices. I would for sure watch this again.
