It was so good, I'd come back to the area just to enjoy it again! Although there was a bit of a language barrier between our limited Spanish and their limited English, the staff here was beyond welcoming and extremely accommodating. I even got to meet the owner and compliment her on the food, and she was kind enough to thank me by gifting me a complimentary jar of the olives I so very much enjoyed. Despite trying various spots in the area, including central Madrid, this remotely located family restaurant topped my list for places to try while in Spain!

The restaurant is huge inside, plenty of rooms with dining spaces. There's beautiful art, one with broken plates that was really cool. There is a server right in front constantly slicing thin pieces of Iberico Jamon. The service is fun, friendly and accommodating. Interesting to note that there's a small side table next to each dining table for the cuchinillo. Tables have fine china, wine glasses and white table cloth linen---very classy. Yet the atmosphere is casual and friendly. The Cuchinillo is served with jus. It's clean tasting, meat tender and juices. The skin is crispy. It's worth the price! We had a grilled squid which was also good. We shared a strawberry panna cotta which was delicious. Great place!

This area with white linen table cloths seems more private with limited seating. It felt very exclusive. We ordered their traditionally prepared cuchinillo, grilled vege platter, tiramisu with toffee, coffee ice cream with amaretto jelly and the traditional layered cake with vanilla cream and ice cream, capuccino and a glass of red wine. The service was impeccably attentive. When it was time to cut the roast pig, the owner, Jose Maria appeared. We were gathered around to watch him deftly cut the pig with a plate into several servings. The cuchinillo was perfectly seasoned. The skin was thin and crispy and the flesh was moist and melt in your mouth tender. Everything we ordered was delicious! Later on, Jose Maria came to our table for a short chat and to indulge us with a few picture with him. This was a really special experience.

WOWzah! All of it was amazing PLUS fresh housemade bread. I highly recommend trying the vermouth with an orange slice. Soooo good! 10/10 wish I took pictures of the other dishes!

He gave us a tour of the menu and guided us to what we should eat since we are visiting and unsure. His recommendations didn't disappoint! Every dish had a home made feel and so much flavor. For starters PePe gave us a complimentary paella- which was very tasty and mixed with a good variety of seafood. Then we had the Spanish omelet with meatballs with green peppers- amazing! Last, PePe recommended cheesecake for a dessert. With it he brought complimentary truffles. I only wish i could have tried more. PePe made the experience!

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!

It faces a park and is nice and quite. The interior is modern and there are plenty of tables inside. There is jamon hanging from the bar and plenty of tapas on offer. We started with some jamon which was delicious. The grilled artichoke and clams were also very nice and tasty. I love rice dishes and I was told this was the place to have Arroz di Banda a traditional rice dish from Alicante which is rice cooked with seafood in a similar pan to a paella. It was heavenly and I could have had another portion of it :-) For dessert they brought us a new dish they had made and provided it on the house for us to taste. It was a lemon fondant and when you cut into it the lemon cream flows out. Oh my god !!! It was heaven on a plate :-) Great service and attentive waiters made for a great experience. I am definitely coming back here again :-) a gem of a place in town.
