I am so impressed by Spain and their dedication to people with celiacs disease. Our waiter was very friendly and worked with us as we tried to ask questions in Spanglish. He recommended a few items to try so we did. The entire menu is gluten free so no worry of cross-contamination. They even have gluten free cervesa! As tourists we wanted to get a few dishes to share so we can try the most at each meal. Well the croquettas were a huge hit! They are a chewy delight and I highly recommend them. We also got patatas which were really good, I have no idea what was in the red sauce besides maybe some familiar spices, but that didn't matter.. it was muy bien! Lastly we got gnocchi, the white sauce was really good, especially to dip your bread in. Overall such a nice place for a few tapas and if you're in Spain with a gluten allergy this is a great place to check out!

Traveling in Madrid alone, I wanted to treat myself to a good authentic Spanish meal and this place…read moreseemed to fit the bill. After doing some research, I found this place offered traditional Spanish tapas with a modern flair. I stopped in late, around 11pm but the place was lively. I loved the modern decor and would recommend this spot to tourists and locals alike! For dinner, I started with the "Alubia negra de Gernika con chorizo y piparras" which was a red soup with black beans and sausage. It was very tasty with the bread that was served warm with my meal. Afterwards, I got the "Albóndigas de Buy Carbonara con Guanciale, pecorino rallado y yema de huevo" - which were some of the best Albondigas I have ever tasted. Seriously GET THEM, even if it is just to share. They were so good I wanted to go back the next night and get them again. This would be a great date night spot or place to celebrate a birthday. The staff was extremely professional and help (they suggested I order a 1/4 portion of the soup because of the size, which was very helpful). LaKsa was pricey but I think the cost matched the experience. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back.

Even when it's crazy busy ive never had to wait long to put in an order or pay. The coffee is great and cheap and so are the pastries (the empanadilla de manzana is a personal favorite). If you're here for breakfast, I highly recommend the banana-espresso bread. I'm very much blessed to have this place to close to my apartment!!! It's amazing.

The owner Javier is extremely proud of his dishes and eager to share them with anybody that walks through the door. He was able to explain the dishes and hold conversation with me in English as well.

I personally preferred the margarita over the Bloody Mary as it tasted overwhelmingly of tomato juice (and little of anything else) Food - La bomba is meat (beef, pork) filled potato and it was yummy, probably my fave of all the tapas we tried. Chicken dumplings had a nice crisp and nice sauce but taste was just OK. Tacos were quite good! Nice flavor and creative presentation with the sauce in the pipette for you to pour. Lastly was the salad made of fresh arugula, beets, tomatoes, peppers - a great end to the "meal" and ironically was the warmest thing we got. Other tapas served lukewarm.
