When I raised this question during my second visit to this restaurant, the waiters had no idea of what I was talking about.

Just a wonderful, local, and friendly place. I stumbled on here by accident when I first came to…read moreMadrid and was lost. One of the gentlemen working pointed me in the right direction and I vowed after that to come back before I left. And I am so glad that I did! Walked in and I was usure where to sit, but was welcomed to a small table for two. My order for wine was immediately taken and a side of pasta was brought out--it was delicious!! It was about a half a cup of pasta with some tuna in it and a light dressing. After finishing my waiter returned and asked if I wanted something else. I asked for their pollo ajilio, which I thought was going to just be chicken and garlic. Boy, I was so wrong. About 20 minutes later the waiter brings out a large platter of pappas (potatoes) and grilled pollo (chicken). The pollo and pappas were a little salty for me, but had a nice mild flavor. And some of the chicken bones were a little crunchy. While I ate the waiter checked on me, but otherwise just let me read and eat for as long as I wanted. There was no way I could take my food home, so the waiter boxed it up for me. Will be eating it over the next few days! The service and atmosphere are great, I felt very welcome! I was surprised by the size of the food and based on the lack of seasonings I may order something else the next time. I am not giving up on this restaurant just yet!!

Not sure if we maybe just picked a bad time to come to Casa de Asturias or if it's just really not…read morea great spot, we cut our lunch here short so it's hard to say. Each of us ordered a glass of cider which surprisingly came with a free (yay!) tapa... unfortunately the tapa was literally a version of cold cocktail weenies and potatoes in sauce that slightly resembled bbq... which was not great. I think we ate all the potatoes and left the tiny hotdogs alone. Decided not to order anything further after the free tapa was such a disappointment and carried on with our afternoon stroll.

The service was incredibly slow. The tortilla was the worst I've had in Madrid, it was so soggy it…read morewas inedible. Bread was stale, what a disappointment!

A great lunch spot in the middle of the hustle and bustle in Madrid!…read more When visiting Plaza Mayor, we saw everyone eating what seemed to be calamari sandwiches and that sent us searching to find one! We saw a photo of one on the outside of El Fontàn and got so excited! My husband ordered that and the Spanish potato salad (has tuna!) and I got a tomato salad and their potato and onion egg bake (similar to a quiche). Portions were LARGE and the food was so fresh! The service was very friendly and they even bring mini empanadas when you sit down. Such a night touch! Their menu has a ton of options that are authentic to Spain...there is sure to be something for everyone. We'd come back!

This was the first dinner meal my mom and I had in Madrid and let's just say it completely exceeded…read moremy expectations. When we walked in we were welcomed by such warm service! I truly have to highlight Pepe, Franco, and Grace for taking the time to speak to us and get to know us. The food was FANTASTIC. We ordered the seafood paella, jamon iberico, garlic shrimp, and sangria. The paella was filled with a ton of flavor which was DELICIOUS. Everything was fantastic, but the Sangria was spectacular, (probably one of the best sangrias I've ever had). At the end of our meal, Pepe brought us two liquor de Limon shots, which made our whole night!! Definitely recommend this place in the La Latina neighborhood. You won't regret it!

El Sur is a charming little spot in Madrid, tucked right into the wall of a narrow street. The…read morespace is very small and they manage to fit a surprising number of people inside, so you immediately notice how tight the squeeze is. It has that classic bustling tapas bar energy where everyone is close enough to feel like part of one big conversation. The food was the highlight. The clams were flavorful and fresh, the octopus was cooked beautifully and the paella was delicious. It is a great place to stop in for a drink and a quick bite, especially if you want something authentic and lively. When we visited, it was packed to the point where you were shoulder to shoulder with other guests and close enough to easily hear the party next to you. It adds to the charm if you enjoy that classic crowded European dining atmosphere, but it is something to keep in mind if you prefer more space.
