Out of business now a hot chocolate bar with coffee tea and hot chocolate. Along with other drinks

Service was a bit slow due to one person working inside (bar, waiter, host) but the food was yummy. It seemed like they had a lot of Mexican food like tacos and nachos. read more

Like others, we were looking for something other than tapas and we found this little gem. Cacao looks small when you first walk in, but they do have another level. Service was quick and friendly. We had the reina pepiada arepa (with shredded chicken, mayo and avocado), grilled octopus and the pork tenderloin. They were all soooo good. The caramelized onions on the pork were a bit too sweet for my taste but hubby loved it. Grilled octopus was tender and perfectly seasoned, not rubbery at all. Sangria was pretty good, a bit sweeter than what I'm used to, but it may just be me. For dessert, tres leches cake and quesillo (Venezuelan flan). Both very good. They do have their own version of tapas as well. We didn't get chance to try it this time, but the night is young we may have to come back. read more

Probably the biggest octopus leg I've eaten! Super tender and juicy, just a bit too salty. The piña colada was yummy, and the steak was a good one as well. The only thing is that I feel that the dishes were all a bit too salty... In addition, the waiter kept forgetting what people were ordering: he'd send the wrong dishes to the wrong tables, come back to ask us 'wait did you want a or b?', etc, and gave people attitude for it (even though he was the one who hadn't paid attention). However, it wasn't as if it completely ruined the meal or anything, but if he had done his job (I've really never seen a waiter be worse at his job.... it was relatively empty too at the time), I would have given 4 stars instead of 3. Overall a good meal. read more

We are a bit tired of the Spanish food so we decided to look for the best Venezuelan restaurant and we found it!! The food was AMAZING!! We ordered two Tapas, two Arepas and two Colombian coffees. Everything was exceptional. We have been to many restaurants around the world and the quality of this place was excellent. The music was really good too. The owner was very friendly, he introduced every plate as he was serving it to us...so personalized!! I wish he would open one in LA. read more

It was raining and I decided I didn't want to walk to far from my hotel so I decided to stop in. The food was excellent!!! The service was top notch.. I ordered grilled octopus and they didn't over cook it. They turned on the football (Soccor) game while I ate. Truly enjoyed my visit. read more

Cacao Restobar - Grilled octopus!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Madrid, M

The food here was amazing and the staff was super friendly. We ordered the patacones, which are fried plantains flattened into a pancake serve with salsa, guacamole and shredding beef- absolutely delicious. We also ordered chicken and beef arepas which were very tasty and their burrata salad was so good (beware- it's a ton of burrata). We also ordered a pitcher of sangria, which was delicious. They had an awesome music playlist going while we ate which helped to make our dinner an amazing experience. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Madrid! read more

Cacao is an excellent dinner and snack spot in Madrid. There's a front cafe section, a dining area in the back, and entertainment downstairs. It mainly serves authentic Venezuelan food which was delicious. The service was quick and polite. They speak both Spanish and English (and even have an English menu). We ordered Arepas (which are like sandwiches) and Carne mechada (which is like a pulled beef dish). Both were excellent and flavorful. Pics below! I would recommend you stop by at Cacao on your visit to Madrid! read more

Not that bad, but all's too sweet or too salty which comes as a surprise given the place's rating

TL;DR - Hidden gem that is worth a visit! Visited Cacao Restobar for dinne while I was visiting Madrid. I ordered following: - Jamon - Patatas Bravas - Garlic Prawns - Pork Tenderloin - Sangria All of the food that I ordered was great and Sangria was probably one of the best I've had so far. Touch of cinnamon they put in the sangria does an amazing job of completing the flavor of the drink as a whole with other ingredients. When you're done with the meal, they bring out homemade bailey's with your check. Friendly staff, great food and drinks, and fair price. read more

I just loved this little hidden gem! It was conveinantly located on the same street as our AirBnB so we decided to give it a try for dinner one night. This was probably one of my favorite places to eat in Madrid! The staff was awesome. They seated us quickly, they spoke great English, they were friendly and attentive! They actually cared if we enjoyed our food. The prices were also very good for how fulfilling the food was. Many of the items on the menu were things I'd never heard of but I was excited to try everything. They also have a non-alcoholic drinks menu which was a rare thing in Madrid. This alone made me more than happy with the place. We started off with the Tequenos, which are basically supper yummy cheese sticks. They are huge and stuffed with cheese. They are definitely a MUST. We also tried the chicken Arepa which was essentially a cold chicken salad stuffed between two soft pieces of bread. This was our least favorite item. My husband had the Fajitas and I had the Grilled Octopus. GET THE GRILLED OCTOPUS! It was so tender, juicy, big and just full of flavor. This was the best Octopus I'd had in Madrid (I was eating it everywhere I went!) I would recommend this place to anyone in Madrid for dinner. I would definitely go back any time I make a trip to Madrid. read more

Fantastic! Amazing tapas, great Sangria, the seafood was very fresh, and the servers were very attentive.

It hurts me a little to give this restaurant three stars because they tried so hard, on food, on service, on ambiance, but the taste just wasn't there. I came here on a Thursday evening at 7 PM, and it was nearly empty, so maybe I just came at a bad time. Everything felt a little bit off, either too sweet or too salty, and two of our four orders were botched. Yet, I give this restaurant three stars and no fewer because the servers were so nice and obviously put a lot of effort into what they were doing. You can tell that they cared about the food they were making and serving. Pros: -excellent service -prompt attendants, got us our beverages and check very quickly -decent price Cons: -subpar food -a couple botched orders -food took a little while to come out I can't recommend this to someone who's looking for a nice little restaurant to stop by during their time in Madrid, but come back on a busy night and maybe things will go better for you. Again, maybe I just came at a bad time... read more

This meal was AMAZING!!! Tapas plates, but Venezuelan food, and now I know that I adore Venezuelan food!!!! We had the pulled chicken, mayonnaise and avocado arepas, the garlic prawns, the sausages and potatoes, and the awesome cheese pancake thing. Wow!!!! Just wonderful. Wish I could give more stars!!!! read more

We came to Cacao Restobar in our third night in Madrid. Service: Our server was incredibly attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. He seemed genuinely concerned with navigating us to the best plates on the menu. These attributes are always commendable, and especially so in Spain, where service--even at high-end establishments--is often poor. Food: We opted for the prawns to start--these were an excellent choice. The prawns were delicious in their own right, and the garlic broth in which they sat on accentuated their flavor. We also ordered the octopus risotto--the risotto was well-cooked, and the octopus well-seasoned--as well as the pabellón criollo. Having grown up with Venezuelan cuisine, the pabellón did not disappoint. Overall: An excellent choice for anyone looking for seafood and/or Venezuelan food in Madrid. Great service and delicious and authentic food. Given that the place is owned, run, and staffed almost entirely by Venezuelans, there are no surprises here! read more

I stopped by this place around 1pm for lunch while waiting there check into my hotel. The server spoke little English and I was seated right away. I will ordered the grilled Octopus and shrimp in garlic in butter sauce. I was disappointed in how small the shrimps were. However the sauce was very flavorful. They gave you breads on the side so that you can dip them in the garlic butter sauce goodness! The flavor from the shrimps were so good I found the Octopus bland. The Octopus was tender but lack of flavor when compared to the shrimps. However I did not regret ordering it. read more

Cacao Restobar - Fried yucca - Mediterranean Near Me - Madrid, M

I was looking to have s merging different aside from the tapas. We almost went to an Indian restaurant that had live entertainment with a belly dancer but opted on this. After all we are in Spain. However, this is a Valenzuela restaurant that offers their own flair on tapas. Yelp reviews were plentiful with high recommendations. On arrival, at about 7:30 pm, the place was empty except for 2 people at the bar. We opted to sit in the dining room for room as well as piece and quiet to get away from the crowd and noise. Very charming and cozy with bright decor. The staff was cheerful and greeted us kindly and with enthusiasm. After reading the reviews I knew exactly what to order. Sangria and beer came out after a few minutes followed by the first few dishes. Food came out timely and separately and not dumped all at once. This made it rather enjoyable since we could take our time to enjoy and savor each dish. All the dishes we ordered were spot on (see photos). They were seasoned well and moist and tender. All portions were tapas size but they were generously proportioned. The meal was topped off by dessert and I was offered a complimentary shot of baileys when the bill came out. Considering all the food and drinks we had, the bill came out much less than I had anticipated. We left full and satisfied. I'm all tapas-ed out but still have one more place on my list to go to - "My Fucking Restaurant" in Barcelona that a fellow Yelper found back home and booked mark. After that I won't be wanting tapas for a long time. read more

The food was alright, but nothing memorable. They didn't seem to fully understand when I told them I was a vegetarian, because even though I asked them to leave off the meat they still served it to me. My food was rather bland and the patacones were especially dry. My dinner companions enjoyed their meal, but it wasn't phenomenal. The waiters were extremely charming and very friendly. At the end of the meal we each got a complimentary dessert shot of something. They said it was homemade and a traditional Spanish aperitif. It was very good, but also very sweet, kind of like drinking a shot of Kahlua. Overall, it was one of the less memorable dinners I had on my trip. read more

Loved this place in Madrid! It is Venezuelan in roots but has a modern twist. Beer was good and food was delicious! Try the mushrooms with ajillo peppers and the arepas sampler. It is a popular area for locals you will enjoy the walk to and from this place, and if you a sports fan they have a club a couple of doors down where you can just have drinks and watch games. Ambiance was friendly and it seems like everyone knows each other in the restaurant, so regulars frequent this spot. read more

Very nice quaint place. The food was splendid and the drinks were top notch. We started off with a pitcher of Sangria de Cava and a Cinnamon Ron. Then we got an order for Tequeños (cheese sticks in an almost flat croissant texture) followed by an order of Patatas Gochas (Fries with melted cheese, garlic sauce and bacon) AMAZING!!! We followed that up with Arepas Degustacion which is one each of the Pelua (pulled meat and cheese), Catira (pulled chicken and cheese), Reina Pepiada (pulled chicken, mayo and avocado **wonderful chicken salad**) and Domino (black beans and Latin cheese). We were going to order main courses, but were full and decided to pass as we didn't want to be miserable. Put this on your list of food places to visit, you won't be disappointed. read more

Air conditioned!!!!!!!! Amazing in the hot weather we were experiencing. I hate sweating while eating dinner so this was a huge bonus in my book. The servers were sooooooo friendly. Felt badly because there weren't a ton of people on the restaurant but maybe it was because we were eating on the early side (9ish). The beef was yummy and also loved the flan. read more

What a find! I went for dinner and lunch the next day. Tucked away off the main drag, right next to my hotel. Great service. Very friendly. Great music. The Arepas and grilled octopus (pulpo) were amazing. Their draft beer was poured with nitros or something, the head was creamy like Guinness but a local Pilsner. Edicson is the man!

Two words: homemade Bailey's! That's right. And much better than the original. Hidden gem is right! Friendly staff, laid-back and clean restaurant, tasty and beautiful drinks and food. Lovely, walkable neighborhood right by the Prado and a famous strip of tapas restaurants on Calle Jesus. The chicken enchilada, which comes out on a sizzling platter, is delicious and the fixings like guac and salsa are plentiful. Try it - you won't be disappointed. read more

We came here for our 1st night in Madrid and couldn't have picked a better restaurant to start with. The bartender was very attentive and kind. He explained multiple dishes on the menu and even gave proper suggestions. We split a tasty carafe of sangria. We chose the cava but I would say go with the tinto. We had arepas. They were amazing! They have lots of tapa choices read more

This restaurant is truly a gem! One of the best experiences we had in Madrid. The gentleman who was helping us (one of the owner's at this family owned restaurant) was sweet, hospitable, and extremely attentive to us and our crazy toddler. He made recommendations to us about the menu and helped us with our toddler who didn't want to play with his toys anymore and was quickly losing interest in our distractions. The owner grabbed some toy cars that his six year old son had left and let our baby play with them. It was wonderful. The food was also incredible and made our experience top notch. We each ordered different arepas. Mine was chicken and cheese and my husband ordered a shredded beef one with a fried egg, plantains, and black beans. Both delicious. The cappuccinos were also some of the best in Spain. I highly recommended coming here when you are in Madrid. You will not be disappointed. read more

I had octopus for the first time and it was very tasty. It was a little spicy for me - but I neglected to ask about the heat in the dish. Chris was our server and he was terrific. He offered to redo but it wasn't that spicy I couldn't eat it. My husband had the pork tenderloin with caramelized onions and potatoes. He really enjoyed them. The sangria is probably the best we have had in Spain and we've been here 1.5 weeks so far and have had sangria pretty much daily in Barcelona and now Madrid. Chris and Edgar were very accommodating and their service was impeccable. We highly recommend this Venezuelan restaurant if you are looking for something different. Also the pricing is great especially given how wonderful the food was. read more
