A blend of fast food service with quality Basque food. A locals only spot that if wanting to avoid crowds and in the area - stop on in.

A complete redefinition of what an American like me thought tapas would be like. A busy, tight, communal atmosphere fit for most locals (and a great chance to butcher my bodega Spanish) Might've been a bit pricer for my taste, but totally instagram worthy photos all around.

Still a great spot to stop at years later. Menu has slimmed down some since Covid but everything we ordered was delicious! I love cod and there's only a few places that offer a variety of different cod preparations so that's always a plus. If you're nearby and want to get some quick tapas, this is a sure bet!

Nice place for pinchos and quick bites. Nothing really special about their food but good service and a nice spot for quick fix. Prices are very reasonable

11/28/21 - I walked in yesterday in the afternoon looked around & told the hostess I would be back later w/my espousa. I came back later that night on (Saturday night & Txapela was packed. No more seatings for that night. I don't know if you've ever been to Madrid. It was my first time in Madrid & the streets on Saturday night were packed w/wall to wall people. When you walk into Txapela there is a hostess table @ the entry. There is a bar where many of the Tapas options are displayed behind & under the glass w/the back open for servers to access the tapas options. They are all beautifully displayed & it's like an adult in a candy store w/the multitude of options. These are awesome for getting many different options & sharing them so you can get a taste of multiple choices. Well we finally made it here Monday night (it's only about 1 block from my hotel) to come & try some of the beautifully presented options & yes they tasted better then they looked. I love tapas you get to sample so many different flavors that just burst in your mouth.

Right on Gran Via, so it's a bit overpriced but the food was fresh and we were able to have a full meal for about 16€ each.

Instead of a digital menu: place mats w pictures!!!

Excellent "pintxos" with a basque twist, and we accidentally discovered that they are open on New Year's Eve till 12:30 am!!!

Tapas from Basque Country. Pintxos. I came here in a Saturday night and had a very pleasant time. We waited about ten minutes for a table and were greeted warmly by our waiter. We ordered two Sangrias and then began to order the pintxos from the menu. They have a picture of each pintxo and the price stated clearly on the menu. One can choose from cold or hot pintxos. They both arrive in no time. And they.are.delicious! I can definitely recommend this establishment for a fine dining experience.

**Case of FOOD POISONING** I have never wrote a bad review especially an international one but please avoid this place. My boyfriend and I ate here last night to try this place out. Attached is the food that we ordered. When we came back from the hotel, it was continuous symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, so please be wary.

Buenissimo!! everything we ordered was great. The service is very casual and not very friendly, but I still recommend highly.

Limited vegetarian options but whatever 4-5 dishes they had were really good. Very happy that they were open late night. Good service.

Chocolatería San Ginés - Truffles

Chocolatería San Ginés

This chocolateria has been in business for over 130 years, so it was probably safe to assume they…read moreknow how to make chocolate and just as essentially, the churros upon which their chocolate clings. Based on the definitive opinions of travel vloggers, this appeared to be the place to get the fabled chocolate con churros. Jamie W and I made our way here through the labyrinth of streets near Puerta del Sol. It was early evening so no surprise there was a queue, but it moved quickly because this historic place was a model of efficiency. It's the type of place where you need to be ready to order the moment you're in front of the hostess. Luckily, we had made mental notes of what to order from one particular vlogger, so we were ready. It only took a minute to secure one of their marble cafe tables. Our order arrived fairly quickly. It consisted of a 2,5€ plate of Churros, six long sticks of chewy, delicious dough. Unlike the Mexican version, it wasn't dusted with sugar because the 3,7€ cup of Hot Chocolate was more than enough (Photo 8). Incredibly rich and only lightly sweetened. The churros might've been enough for a neophyte, but we double-downed with a 2,5€ order of two Porros (Photo 7). Porras are a thicker, doughier version of churros, so of course, they were our favorites because they really held the chocolate with assurance. Even though we went through two cups of hot chocolate, we still had 2,4€ cups of Cafes con Leche to wash it all down (Photo 10). It was an ideal dessert experience because who doesn't love awesome doughnuts? Definitely a must-gorge when in Madrid. FOOD - 5 stars...the motherlode when it comes to chocolate con churros...get the porros AMBIANCE - 4 stars...crowded but historically atmospheric with enough elbow room SERVICE - 4 stars...speedy TOTAL - 5 stars...pretty essential Madrid experience RELATED - Exploring Madrid? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/RH4DbI4Fwc

Churros con Chocolate -- 10/10: literally who am i to judge a churro recipe/spot that has been…read moreserving the same recipe 24/7 since 1894 loool ofc it was phenomenal!!! i fear i will never find another churro as good as this. the chocolate dipping sauce was also so good i wanted to drink it Tucked into an alley in Puerta de Sol is this vintage chocolateria. Stepping into the alley feels like you're entering a vintage postcard. The workers were nice and I had a very pleasant time enjoying my churros and admiring the history and decor inside.
