Popular place!!! I've been here several times. Jamón Iberico is the best that's the sandwich I…read moreget. Saturday it was packed at 5:30. The sandwiches are good and quick. The locals hang out and drink beer and eat ham. I guess you would call that hamming it up. It's all about the ham and the ham is damn good. It can get load and hard to find a place to stand or sit. Usually this frenetic vibe throws me off, here I like it. Do when you walk by and see all that ham hanging out come on in and join the ham crew. You won't regret it. Jamon I should say instead of ham, but I'm a dumb American lol.

Jamón Ibérico de bellota has the highest grade with a pedigree of 100% pata negra. These pigs have black hooves and are fed only on acorns. The Bocadillo de Jamón Ibérico is a slender sandwich in a long crusty baguette. It might be a perfect delivery system for the delicious jamón. The ham is sliced thin to where it almost translucent. The abundant marbling delivers a rich flavor alternating between butter and nuttiness. The texture is smooth and luxurious. Once you have finished the bocadillo de jamón, you will immediately begin thinking about the next one. In addition to the legs, the shop has prepackaged vacuum-sealed sliced jamón.

Do not eat here! It's a tourist trap…read more At this stand selling mediocre food, the chewy bread in the popular bocadillo sandwiches is good, but it surrounds only decent quality ham and cheese. The lukewarm empanadas are too greasy, and the bottled water isn't cold either. But we found the employees to be very nice.

Free tapas with each beer ordered is just a plus. While not as cheap as El Tigre, this place is leagues better than any other touristy trap place you will find on tripadvisor.

A small casa on Calle de Leon somewhat away from the Puerta del Sol. The street is filled with…read morelocals going about their day or transiting by foot towards city center so it is not heavily overrun by tour groups. Plus, this shopfront is small and not particularly descript so you might walk right by it if you were not searching for it. However, if you know better, you will find a reason to pause, duck in, and take a break! There are small tables within to eat there but there is only 1 at the shop front window alcove. If you time it right, you can grab this table and stuff your pie hole with local sausages, cured meats, and Spanish wine, beer or Vermouth while watching Madridian life pass you by. There may not be a better way to ruin what could have been an otherwise productive day! The menu is substantial but is largely made up of combinations of the various cured meats and cheeses that the shop is known for. Unlike spots that promote only Iberian ham and Manchego cheese, Casa González has all manner of meats and cheeses so it is a fantastic spot to go to for variety within this genre. I think that only strict vegans will be angered by what is on offer here. I recommend Casa Gonzalez for a meat and cheese orgy if you are in the area. They have been doing this since 1931 so you know that they have a winning formula.

This market is not a tourist spot, it's an upscale but vintage neighborhood market. The Robleño…read morestores are a large section of the market, but not the whole thing. The Robleño shops have all types of cured meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables (don't touch the items), a nice wine selection (and people to help you choose), great canned veggies, spices, barrels of olives and pickles, chocolates and turrón, plus other specialty items. There is a small café within the Robleño shops with really good food, coffee, snacks, and a friendly staff if you need a break and want to watch the action. There are many other vendors, including a liquor store/bar, fish mongers, multiple fruit and vegetable stalls, bakeries, stalls with just olives and pickles, others with cleaning supplies, etc. -- locals actually shop, and you won't necessarily find that everyone speaks English there, so be prepared. Go early if you actually want to shop, because it gets very busy by 10 am, and if you don't speak Spanish and know what you want, you'll slow everybody down and will also have to jostle for space and attention. I really enjoy shopping there, having a coffee and snack, or just looking around.
