We don't speak Spanish and we could hardly understand what our waiter was saying to us, so we just said 'bring us what you recommend.' We ended up with a South American polenta shepherds pie ... a rare and surprising treat that I wish I could describe well enough to replicate. Meaty, spicy, homemade, and with a touch of sweet on top ... delicious. Then we had the ever popular fried spinach cheese balls. Some people craved them, others panned them. They were a total surprise for us, and delicious!!! Thanks to yelpers for the find ... we may try to come back again on this trip to Spain.

If the thought of 24 hour bocadillos doesn't have you already in a chokehold, I don't know what…read morewill to be honest. The fact that I can roll over at 3:17 in the morning and can grab a Bocadillo here (a delicious one at that!) is an absolutely amazing feat. They do offer them in 3 different sizes (small, medium, and large); however, I always order the medium, which is enough to last me until after my siesta. Favorite things to get are the Jamon iberico and the chorizo though the barbacoa empanada isn't too bad either! Def come check it out for a quick late night bite.

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.

Excellent food, great service, and ambiance. Highly recommend this place if you re in Madrid.read more

Bomb spot for authentic Venezulan tapas. We stumbled across this spot as we were walking around…read moretrying to digest the food and wine we had only a couple of hours before and I was in the mood for a cocktail as I had been having wine for 5 days straight. I saw the fresh fruit in the window and was curious about what this spot was all about then I walked in and they had a pretty extensive drink menu and it sounded fresh and clean. When I walked in I felt I got transported to a beach town as they had incense lit and jack Johnson rocking out. We sat at the bar and were in the mix of all the action that this little spot brings in. I ordered a fresh watermelon martini, sangria and then got an order of nachos. The topping on the nachos were full of flavor but the chips themselves were not that fresh. Better that way so I don't eat the whole damn thing, then we moved on to their take of a tamale(Hallacas) omg it was amazing and lots meat in there.. highly recommend and then we ended with a Nutella dessert, it's was definitely a way to close the night with. Cute spot, great for groups as they have a more proper restaurant upstairs. Definitely would recommend and I know they have other locations. Can't beat that freshness, the service and the food.

What stuck with me was that food is what you'd get in top-notch Michelin-starred restaurants but the atmosphere is far from those aloof feelings typical of those places, on the contrary, it's warm and feels like you're in your casual local bar with your best buddies. What is greater than having 5-star food but being relaxed enough as if you were at a friend's house? The service is attentive and friendly, the servers are patient and professional. They take their time to explain anything you might need and make proper recommendations. The plates are on a smaller size, so if you have a big appetite you will have to order quite a bit, however, every single item was a hit. Each dish is creative, with perfectly combined flavors, nicely balanced, textures on point, and the presentations are stunning. A work of art comes to your table every time. It's difficult to suggest individual dishes because I can say that everything is fabulous but the Ceviche was something supernatural. Don't forget the cocktails! They are another experience in themselves. Same standard of beautiful presentation and great flavor combinations to choose from. This hidden spot deserves more recognition than it has. Hard to sing enough praises for them and I will be thinking about this experience for some time.

Also, I assume you need to close the menu for them to come and serve because it took them very long to do so. -Crispy pork belly 4/5. Super crispy but salty. -Cocido madrileño 5/5. The presentation was cute. -The soup was tasty and rich with flavor. The dry portion was filling with various meat cuts. Meatballs with house special sauce 4/5. The house special sauce was like BBQ sauce and meatballs were good but not too extraordinary. -tuna potato salad 5/5 was too the points with flavor. I love this dish. I wish there were more chips.

I think a kick of spice and heat would add to the flavor overall, but I would come back to try a pupusa or another dish of some sort for sure my next time here. Service- The waitress & waiters were very fine, however it was slightly slow. Nonetheless, they served me and they served my family well. Ambiance- Five words: The Amazon Rainforest...Madrid Style! :) A few things I would like to say is that English nor Credit Card was "allowed" per se, but we were able to get by fine. Overall, 4/5. A solid B for me at Rio Grande Cafe in Madrid, Spain.

The inside looks new, clean, and exuberant. The walls are painted very fun and well-done. Now- the food: Platanos- fried plantains with refried beans and sour cream (la crema), amazing Nachos- best nachos I've found in Madrid, loaded with meat, sour cream, guac, pico... Papusas- incredible, cheap, & filling (can get with frijoles, cheese, meat, chicken, or a combo) I've been there twice now and the service is great every time as well!

We sat at the bar, and all we could smell was the semi-clean bathroom--and I say that not from visiting it, but from the sheer odor. Things went south when a burly German Messerschmitt sat next to us and compounded the smell. I'm not being Teutonophobic--I'm just telling it like it was ( said every xenophobic ) The tortilla that lured us here was fine, but too sweet for my taste--like the rest of the pintxos. Or maybe it was the side of Clorox.
