    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!

    Absolutely incredible evening- I passed on the starters because I had my eye on main course and…read moresides. 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!

    This was the first restaurant I ate at during the Spanish leg of my euro trip a few months ago. It…read morewas recommended by the concierge of the hotel I was staying so I guess I had to try it? 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.

    Qiute frankly, a culinary delight. Taste, presentation, options and price (why it gets five stars)…read more A lovely setting in a true neighborhood environment- few tourists here which is precisely the point. They recognized us as english speaking early on and brought a full translated menu. 2 appetizers, 5 entrees, 2 desserts, 5 beers and a bottle of wine = 156 Euros!! Wonderfully appointed with presentation that made you gasp. Kids (21, 19, 17) said best meal they have ever had. Ranked high for mom n dad as well. If your up for the extra drive, well worth it!!
