Great vibes once I walked into this establishment! I decided to bring my birthday in at this bar…read moreand the bartender was very nice and accommodating. At first I tried their Mojito it was very good everything was fresh. I tried their plantains with guac and jerk Chicken. The chicken had a nice spice to it. I came a little late so wasnt much food options. The music was great in addition I did request a few songs. I did try to come back before I left for the states however they were closed. Whenever I have a chance to return I'll most visit this bar again.

Cuban food in Spain.... I've always said Cuban food is some of the best food on the planet due to…read morethe African influence in the food. With that said this place appears it won't disappoint just from the look of the food on the other customers tables. I came late for drinks and appetizers and didn't get a chance to order a main dish, but the appetizer were good. I'll get another chance to try the food before I leave, it's already on my list. Im looking forward to it. Update.... came back and had the food, they get one more star. Living in Miami, home of Little Havana I've eaten some of the best Cuban food outside of Cuba (I've been to Cuba as well shout out to El Aljibe). This place can compete with the best of them.... lastly that tamale was something special....I'll be back again before my trip is over most definitely.

Caipirinha, Mojito, croquetas cubanas, and a "completo a la cubana" w/ ropa vieja and bread... ... Sorry, it took me a minute to wake up from the food coma i went into just from mentioning what we ate. If visiting downtown Madrid, come hit up this hidden spot. The music, food, and drinks will make you feel at ease and amazing. Salsa music is very old school and it is not fair to only give it 5 stars when it deserves more than that. Thank you, La colonial and their staff. Amazing service.

Besides a couple of Cuban dishes, now they have items of Mexican, Peruvian, and Venezuelan origin. Nothing wrong with that, except that I expected a full range of Cuban dishes like they used to have.

Bomb spot for authentic Venezulan tapas. We stumbled across this spot as we were walking around…read moretrying to digest the food and wine we had only a couple of hours before and I was in the mood for a cocktail as I had been having wine for 5 days straight. I saw the fresh fruit in the window and was curious about what this spot was all about then I walked in and they had a pretty extensive drink menu and it sounded fresh and clean. When I walked in I felt I got transported to a beach town as they had incense lit and jack Johnson rocking out. We sat at the bar and were in the mix of all the action that this little spot brings in. I ordered a fresh watermelon martini, sangria and then got an order of nachos. The topping on the nachos were full of flavor but the chips themselves were not that fresh. Better that way so I don't eat the whole damn thing, then we moved on to their take of a tamale(Hallacas) omg it was amazing and lots meat in there.. highly recommend and then we ended with a Nutella dessert, it's was definitely a way to close the night with. Cute spot, great for groups as they have a more proper restaurant upstairs. Definitely would recommend and I know they have other locations. Can't beat that freshness, the service and the food.

Dining at Botín was one of the highlights of my trip to Madrid…read more Walking into the world's oldest restaurant, established in 1725, truly feels like stepping back in time. From the centuries-old brick walls to the original wood-fired oven that has been in continuous use for nearly 300 years, every corner is filled with history. Watching the chefs prepare meals in that famous oven was an unforgettable experience. The service was warm, welcoming, and professional. The staff clearly takes pride in preserving the traditions of this remarkable restaurant while making every guest feel at home. Of course, we had to order the famous roast suckling pig, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The skin was perfectly crisp while the meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. We also shared the wild mushrooms, which were simple, earthy, and delicious. Botín isn't about trendy food or elaborate presentations. It's about experiencing authentic Spanish cuisine in a place that has been serving guests since 1725. That authenticity is what makes it so special. If you're visiting Madrid, this restaurant belongs on your itinerary. Make a reservation, take time to admire the history, watch the kitchen in action, and enjoy one of the most unique dining experiences you'll ever have. It's much more than a meal--it's a chance to be part of nearly 300 years of culinary history. Five stars without hesitation.

A great experience. Extremely busy restaurant but well orchestrated team of people working save…read moreknowing what to do. Daniel our server did San excellent job taking care of every detail.

Some friends recommended me this place and I had faith in it because of that…read more The 2 stars I'm giving here, are not about food quality, cleanliness of the restaurant or because of poor service, it's because, for some reason, Venezuelans think they can charge ridiculous prices for food just because it's a "Venezuelan" restaurant. I'm well aware this is in Malasaña but 16 euros for a roasted chicken and 2 beverages? You gotta be kidding me. Quality-wise I can get the exact same chicken elsewhere for half the price. I sat down and as soon as i saw the prices I just left. Because I`ll rather spend 19 euros on an excellent sirloin steak with french fries and pimientos de piquillo anywhere else than paying 16 euros for a friggin roasted chicken. If you dig the place and the neighborhood and don't care getting charged outrageous prices (even higher than in other venezuelan restaurants) than everywhere else in Madrid, come. It's clean and they are polite.

They got my order wrong (which is fine with me since I like all arepas but even after I told her she just shrugged and didn't apologize) and their empanadas are terrible too.
