A bit of a splurge but worth it when in Madrid and in the mood for a steak. Located a few blocks…read moreeast of Puerta del Sol, it's nice because there are no hordes of people you have to navigate to find it. This is a place for people who appreciate their food and the experience, not for the tourist masses that are looking to get fed quick and cheap. It is an interesting set up as they have dining rooms on both sides of the street. I was in the one on the east side of the street and taken downstairs into the basement which has the looks of a refurbished ancient cellar. I had a 2 top in the corner to myself with a great view of the room so I could appreciate what everyone else was eating. I had a very civilized time. Frenetic Tapas this is not. There are white linen tablecloths present, a small container of housemade chimichurri, menus on line, great wi-fi service, a full bar and wine list, and menus that are bovine centric. I had an Argentine Negroni (the Argentine nod is due to a splash of Fernet Branca giving it a slight minty taste on the back end) and a glass of affordable, high ranking Tempranillo. These were perfect with the olive and bread starters with EVOO/Spanish vinegar on the table to mix to taste and also served with compounded butter. I was there to eat and the Mollejas (veal sweetbreads) are a must in my opinion. They are listed as a house specialty and come on a charcoal heated sizzle plate served with a side of broad flaked sea salt to finish to taste. Crispy edges and creamy textures throughout with a hit of grilled lemon and they were simply sublime. I also took down an Entraña (skirt steak) that seemed larger than its described 300 grams. Also served on a sizzle plate it was perfectly cooked by some expert grill guys upstairs. To ensure that I ate something with color, I had a salad on the side that I dressed to taste with the EVOO/Spanish vinegar on the table. The service here is friendly, professional, and not overbearing. My meal was about $85 USD which is pricey by typical Madrid eating standards but it was worth it considering the quality, quantity, and variety of what I experienced. I would be happy to go back here again any time I'm in the area!

I had flap steak with fries and leek confit- beautifully prepared and the steak was the best steak I've ever had in my life- cooked medium rare to perfection. For dessert the Argentinian caramel ice cream and sabayon ice cream I was solo so I went wine by the glass and so reasonable and phenomenal selection The bottle selection equally good and again reasonable price Service was perfect- attentive without being overbearing Go here if you like great steak!

A great first meal in Spain! The food was fantastic, and service was even better. Thanks to our…read moreserver, Santiago, who let us shave the ham, gave us a complimentary sorbet drink, and didn't make fun of us when we ordered way too much food, hahah! We don't speak Spanish, but he helped us out with Google Translate and made us feel welcome. Loved that the menu had English titles, very helpful. Overall, I felt like there was a warm atmosphere here. We got eggplant sticks with honey, artichoke with salty ham, and croquettes. Not a bad bite to be found. I can't even pick a favorite; everything was outstanding. Definitely recommend this restaurant! We paid about $65 for everything, including what's mentioned above plus a glass of wine, bread, and olives.

Actually, we arrived pretty late so it was the only restaurant that was open. Location: Madrid, Spain. That's all I know. Lol. Service: I do have to say that the service was exceptionally accommodating. Being that this was the first restaurant we ate at in Spain, Chacabuco II literally set the standard for the rest of our dining experiences throughout. This place did not disappoint. When we got there, the host quickly realized we were American and found us an English speaking waitress. That in itself is one star. We were seated in a corner tucked away from everyone surrounded by only a few couples. Two stars for making things romantic! I ordered some cava expecting a glass for the price listed, and I got a whole bottle. Three stars! We felt very well served and this made the experience that much better. Food: The food! So good! So fresh. I ate this huge steak which was bigger than my head (and I have a huge head, lol). My wife had an octopus dish which was tender and delicious. I pretty much loaded up on cava so the rest of the night was a blur, but I do remember the food, and it was GOOD! Final Thoughts: Because this was the first restaurant I've ever been to in Spain, I am a bit bias. However, because of great service and wonderful, even if it was the 80th restaurant I visited, it would have stood out from the rest. If I am ever back in this area of Madrid, I would definitely make it a point to visit.

When I noticed it was missing I asked if there were cameras monitoring the establishment. To my surprise they said yes, but when I asked to review the video, they responded that the monitor was broken. They did not bother to even contact the police for us; they simple responded that theft of bags and phones "happens" all the time at their establishment. As a matter of fact, they said to me that about a half an hour before my bag was stolen another customer, sitting on the outside patio, his bag was stolen. Therefore, if that is the case I would suggest to stay away or while sitting at your table, eat with your bags in front of you at all times. As a Uruguayan and proud barbecue connoisseur , I can say that the meat was of an inferior quality for the price paid; and to top it off, flies were landing on the "facturas" (biscochos, pastries).... the "chimichurri" was fresh and tasty...
