The Calamari came with small side salad. I liked the Salad better than Frued Calamarri. Tasted like any other. But in the end it is totally worth your while to try . You will enjoy .

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.

Great quick place to stop by and grab a quick bite to eat…read more You can be in and out in less than 5 minutes. The place is small and strictly 'to-go'. Food is fresh and tasty. They only have a few items, which basically range from a small ham and cheese sandwich and a large ham and cheese sandwich. Lol. (Kidding, they also have empanadas) But it is definitely delicious, and for under €5 each, is not a bad spot.

This is coming from a person who's lived in Texas most of her life: the tacos were so good!! The…read moresalsa paired so nicely with it too and it's not crazy spicy. We also ordered the quesadilla and it was good but if I could go back in time I would get more tacos for sure. The service was so quick. It took less than five minutes to get our food. The ambiance is fun and lively, very colorful and spacious. We were very fortunate to not wait in a line when we came. I would've gone to eat a second time there if I wasn't so full. Sooo good!

Came here for lunch around 2pm and had some great tacos and quesadillas! Although the line was…read morelong, it moved very, very quickly. We were also served very quickly and were seated at a table in the well-decorated interior. Prices are extremely reasonable (you can get tacos plus drinks for under 10 euro). The gringa quesadilla was the star of the show for me! Super filling and they put lots of meat inside. My friends got the mango margaritas for 5 euro and loved them. Overall: great spot for yummy tacos, quesadillas, and drinks all while being affordable and in the middle of Sol

Upfront, this is a restaurant chain that's in Madrid and maybe even all of Spain, I'm not sure…read more This is the second location I've visited and number two on the list, sadly. The restaurant is located in the Kinépolis cinema complex, so parking is not a problem. The restaurant is large and has a lot of seating. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the service is fast; we had our food in almost no time. Now, on to the food. The food is not the best I've had in this chain (hence the number two slot). The lomo was probably the best dish with a sweet cream sauce. The calzone was crispy but the inside was overly watery and it could definitely do without the drizzle of balsamic vinegar on top. The arrabbiata sauce was tasty but heartburn central (that's my own personal issue not a reflection on the restaurant). Lastly, the ratio of sauce to cheese on the pizza was totally off (virtually zero sauce) and the crust was more like a cracker. Overall, this was not my favorite. The food was not what I have experienced in the other restaurant. I prefer the one in Pozuelo.

This place is fantastic! We had a little bit of everything. The pizza was great! The pasta cooked…read moreperfectly and the sauce bursting with flavor! The pork tenderloin was sliced thin, I thought it would taste like leather but it was actually fabulous. Last but not least the dessert was the cherry on top. Great service. The ambiance is really quite impressive. This place has character. There are menus in English if you need it. If you are looking for good Italian food, look no further, this place won't disappoint.
