The wait staff is friendly but made an error when forgetting to bring my husband's main course. The quality of his white bean soup made up for it. I love the antique looking entry to the restaurant.

Stopped by this place during a recent food tour in the city and this place was not packed so I had…read moremy reservations but boy was I wrong. The best garlic shrimp tapas I had during my stay in Madrid. The buttery olive oil garlicy sauce was so delicious we scooped every drop with their home baked bread. We also ordered their vermut (tasty) and amazing croquettas and their tomato salad was fantastic. It was heirloom tomatoes with some olive oil drizzled bringing out the best flavors. Service was great and food was devoured.. Pretty unassuming spot serving great tapas. highly recommend to try both these dishes when in Madrid.

Anyway, almost all local customers sat outside under shady trees and seating was on seen also across the street. Service was good especially since we cannot speak much Spanish. Food and beer was great! We also had dessert and espresso. Only issue i have with this place was the fact that many flys buzzing around inside the restaurant around our table.

We were visiting the valley of the fallen, and needed some lunch. The cafe at the valley is so…read moreoverpriced and filthy, and we found this place about a 3 mile drive away. This place is about 8 mins walk from El Escorial Monastery. It is definitely a hidden gem of the neighborhood. For 10 Euros, you can have a two course meal and desert + wine/beer/water till 4pm. The food is so fresh and homey. There is a little terrace in front, and you can appreciate the charm of a small quaint town. Everyone seem to know each other. Food selection gets smaller as the day go, because they just prepare enough fresh food for the day. So go earlier. The server is so friendly, but he speaks little (to no) English. Menu is on the board, use your google translate and you will be just fine:) Please go and support this neighborhood joint!

Wow. We are so happy we found El Olivo on our way to Escorial. The food was delicious, location is…read moreperfect, but maybe the best part is the amazing service. If you are visiting Escorial or the Valle de los Caídos, stop at Olivo for lunch.
