The kind host gave us amazing recommendations and really took the time to explain the menu, we loved him. But, that is where the good service ended. Our waitress couldn't be bothered will helping us. Aside from taking our initial order, she never checked back on us. We had to flag her down to order more food and with that, she seemed annoyed. We asked for refills on our wine glasses. We never got those, she completely forgot about them. We wanted to order dessert, but we were so annoyed by that point, we just wanted to leave. Mind you, there was only one other table sitting next to us, who was also rather annoyed that it took almost 20 minutes for them to get the bill. The sad thing is, the food was excellent. The Oxtail Crunch Roll was one of the most amazing dishes we've had in Spain and the wine we got was incredible. It's a shame that the poor service put a damper on the remainder of the evening.

After spending several hours at the Reina Sofia, Jamie W and I were feeling quite peckish and…read morerather indecisive about where to have lunch. We guessed many options around the Prado area might be tourist traps. Fortunately, this didn't appear to be one of them as it's a taberna that attracts local regulars as well as tourists like us. The manager/owner looked to know quite a few customers. It was pretty busy, so we were seated at a hi-top table in the bar area next to other non-Spanish, English-speaking customers. There were many small-to-medium tapa plates to consider in their menu. We weren't looking to stuff ourselves, so we ordered the 6,9€ half-order of Chiporones à la Plancha, which was grilled baby squids nestled on a mixed salad drizzled with balsamic (Photo 10). Our second dish was the 6,1€ half-order of Parrillada Verdu. It was a simple but satisfying grilled vegetable platter of sliced tomato,, onion, and root veggies (Photo 9). The last dish we ordered was an unexpected taste of home, the 9,9€ Ensalada Cesar. The reason for the higher price point was the addition of chicken and bacon to the lettuce, tomato, cheese, croutons, and Caesar dressing (Photo 8). The combination was pretty hearty and familiar-tasting. Even though we probably ate enough for a mid-afternoon meal, I couldn't help but inquire about the availability of grilled octopus (pulpo) because we saw it look quite tempting on a neighboring table. It was just as well that they were out because we didn't have room in our bellies for that. Our tapas selection was just fine all on its own. FOOD - 4 stars...skilled execution of familiar tapas, pretty tasty AMBIANCE - 4 stars...compact but cozy taberna, crowds quickly at lunch SERVICE - 3.5 stars..,efficient though a tad brusque because it was busy TOTAL - 4 stars...a serious dining option close to the museums RELATED - Exploring Madrid?

Kindred spirits that carry the same logic, Jamie W and I took their advice and came here when they opened at 8:30 for dinner. There was already a queue of mostly locals who seemed to know the presumed owner, an irascible woman who pointed at the customers she liked most and gave them dibs on the available tables. We eventually got seated and reviewed the long menu presented in five different languages. Uh-oh, is this a tourist trap? No, not really. The prices here are pretty low considering how close it is to Gran Via. We started with a 10€ pitcher of Sangria (Photo 6). Our server abruptly left us to pour it ourselves, and I immediately produced a red wine puddle on the tablecloth. Oopsie. What made it into the glass was quite tasty though. She dropped off a couple of rustic bread rolls that were nearly loaves (Photo 12). Our shared salad arrived, the 4€ Ensalada Mixta, a combination of tuna, egg, green olives, onion, lettuce, and tomato (Photo 7). A sprinkling of oil and vinegar made it the right starter. A couple of small plates followed. The 5€ Croquettes were savory good with a mix of potato and cod mashed in the middle, but it inexplicably came with fries rather than the Russian salad advertised (Photo 10). The 5€ Tortilla Espanola was a complete winner with the potatoes mixing seamlessly with the fluffy eggs (Photo 8). Our entrees were nicely executed. Because they were out of roast chicken, Jamie went with the 6€ Half Fried Chicken in Garlic Sauce. It was not breaded but more pan-fried, but the pieces were tender thigh meat accompanied by fries (Photo 5). I ordered the 12€ Grilled Veal Steak, a generous cut prepared medium and also accompanied by fries (Photo 9). The veal was juicy with just a tad too much gristle to finish off the steak. If you're looking for a no-frills tasty meal in the thick of Madrid's tourist zone, this is a solid bet. FOOD - 4 stars...earthy down-home Spanish food at low prices AMBIANCE - 4 stars...crowded but atmospheric in a good way SERVICE - 3 stars...a bit brusque, not much on interaction TOTAL - 4 stars...one of the better deals to be found near the Gran Via RELATED - Exploring Madrid?
