    Chopitos
    Rohini G.

    I think this spot was a great deal for the food. Tried the mushrooms (champinones a la plancha), pig ears (orejas a la plancha), and fried squid (chopitos). I thought the pig ears were slightly underdone (more rubbery without as much fat rendered). I've had them before at other places but it just made me a bit squeamish here. The mushrooms were tender but too salty. The fried squid was as expected but a bit under salt so I mixed it in the mushrooms which were over salted. Overall, very affordable. House glass on wine paired well too. Bread and olives were on the house which was nice since several places changed for that. Service was very efficient.

    Best restaurant we had in Madrid that we came back twice. Everything was good, and priced well. Recommend the pig ears, sweetbread, and blood sausage. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Madrid to try more dishes. There are tables on the second floor, or get a standing table on the first/main floor.

    On a recommendation from fellow Yelper Ricardo J., we tried this place out. No surprise, he came through. Casa Toni was amazing. We stopped for a little wine, some tapas, and aast day experience here in Centro d Madrid. Our server was awesome. That guy was Johnny on the spot. He got us our drinks. He made recommendations when they didn't have what I wanted. It was nice. We got there at the right time just before 2 pm, and shortly after there were folks lined up. I enjoyed my glass of wine and ordered some tapas. I ordered the green peppers, the pork chops, and the calamari. The short order cook got straight to work on it because it didn't take long for them to come out one at a time. All of the tapas were great. I even ordered the chiciharron/pork belly and downed that as well. All of it was really good and I would recommend any of these. Thanks Ricardo for the primo recco. Fully double down on his recommendation to Casa Toni.

    Really great place for tapas! Didn't seem like a tourist trap :) Tomato salad, boquerones, roasted mushrooms, patatas bravas all were great

    A must have

    Amazing food! Our server is crazy funny and friendly. They have big servings over Tapas, Tinto Verano is so good as well. Great experience ~from Vegas

    Everything here was solid but nothing was exceptional. Calamari was pretty good, pork tasted great but was a little tough, patatas bravas were alright, shrimp was a little small and lacking salt. We were sat down and served quickly, food was decent and reasonably priced.

    The hype is real at this very popular hole in the wall, which we heard about on some YouTube foodie videos. From what our server Lorena told us, it never slows down here. It is super small and it gets packed, but with some flexibility and patience you can enjoy a great meal here. We tried the anchovies in vinegar, grilled sweetbreads, blood sausage, and spicy potatoes. All of them were delicious and full of flavor. Thank you, James Blick of Spain Revealed and food blogger Mark Wiens for recommending pairing the anchovies with the sweetbreads. They complement each other perfectly - the tanginess of the anchovies blending with the milkiness and flavor of the sweetbreads. The blood sausage was incredible - not too irony, and with a great texture from the other fillings. The spices were good and not too overpowering. It reminded us of haggis - which is one of my favorite foods ever. Finally, the patatas bravas were also a hit. The sauce was a little spicy but nothing crazy - the potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. For the food and service you can't go wrong here - good luck finding a seat or place to stand - but just know that this destination is definitely worth the journey.

    Arrived just before 13:50 on a weekday in November 2023. Left around 15:15. They were so packed. I had a party of two, and we waited in quite a queue to get seated. Actually, we did not "sit". We had to stand at the bar for over an hour while eating. We ordered braided lamb intestines, tripe, pig ear, and jarrita beer. I will not be getting the braided lamb intestines again. It was so bitter. Even my eating partner who doesn't mind innards was like never again! Tripe was ok. It was just such a large portion of this. I would recommend sharing this between at least two to three people. Pig ear was ok. In hindsight, I needed a plate of something other than unusual meats to balance out the meal. The beer was not enough. They accepted credit card payment. There is seating upstairs. Bathroom is also upstairs. Despite this place being frequented by locals, the food is not for me. Service was also not good due to being so packed. One poor lady running like a chicken without a head on the first floor between the kitchen and the dining area. Another lady carrying trays and walking up and down the stairs to serve upstairs guests.

    This was our first meal on our Europe trip and the first meal in Madrid. I'm glad we stopped here because the food was decently priced and delicious. We ended up getting potatoes, tomato salad, and shrimp and garlic sauce. This place is a simple no frills restaurant with not a lot of seats in the front but I think there is an upstairs but we were only sitting in the front at the counter. The service was prompt and the food came out fairly quickly. If you're in the area and craving simple tapas, I would recommend this place.

    An absolute must try when you are Madrid. PS : we ate there 3 times in our 6 nights in the city so that should tell you something! According to many, this is one of the long standing taverns that still sticks to its roots and hasn't changed much despite all the attention it has gotten in the years. While they have seating upstairs, do your best to get a spot on the main floor where all the action happens (an open kitchen with the grill running hot and the ingredients out in the open!) the staff are super friendly and do their best to make you comfortable even if you don't speak much Spanish. I also appreciate that they are thoughtful of how much you order and have advised us to maybe get half orders instead. Everything is delicious here and cooked quickly with minimal ingredients and with the aim to get the core ingredients shine on its own. The absolute must have here is the pigs ears that is so delightful and served with a side of the red sauce. Even if you aren't a big offal fan, I plead you to try this here you will not be disappointed. Other items that are spectacular are the tomato salad, fried anchovies, anchovies in vinegar, garlic shrimp, the mushrooms.

    This is a hole in the wall that all visitors should never miss! Most of their customers are locals so you can tell that it's a good restaurant. Every single food we ordered tasted so good and perfectly cooked. Portion is generous. The gambas were salty but not irritating. The chilis were generally not spicy. Only one piece was spicy, which to my standards is just mild. On any given day, the place is always crowded and noisy. Due to very limited seats, be prepared to eat standing up. Otherwise, you can wait for a table to be free, which may take a while. There are tables upstairs as well, but I'm sure it's just as crowded as downstairs. They close at 4:30 pm and reopen at 7:00 pm. They accept cash, credit cards, or contact less payment, which is convenient. I would definitely come back next time.

    Best place in Madrid for authentic Spanish tapas. The reviews are excellent and they are right on target. Rick Steves also featured it in one of his videos. Located in the heart of the city, just steps from the Sol Metro. Its in the middle of Calle de la Cruz and there's always a crowd. It's super casual and there's seating upstairs and downstairs. I was lucky the night I was there, to get a couple of seats at the high top watching the owner cook. Fresh olives and bread were brought to the table just moments after we sat down. We ordered chorizo and it was one of the best I've had. Crispy on the outside it was flavorful and the portion was big. Grilled Squid was light and tender, Shrimp tapas were good too. They're famous for Pig Ear, but I had to pass on that. Sangria paired perfectly with our food and we were given a shot of port before we left. Service was excellent, customers were friendly and it was a highlight of our trip.

    Where to begin..... so so so delicious. The line took about 35 minutes (arrived at 2005 on a Sunday). The ambiance inside is traditional and full of life. We ordered 3 dishes and 2 Sangrias. We started with the berenjenas de casa. This was followed by pincho de chorizo. We finished with the mejillones en salsa. I can not say enough about this dish. Took my breath away. Myself and 1 other went through two loaves of bread to finish the sauce it was so delicious. ORDER IT. The total came out to 27€. Perfect way to end our time in Madrid, GET THE MEJILLONES EN SALSA

    Sweet breads. Amazing!

When we left at 12:45 PM, every table was filled with a few patrons waiting to sit/stand. When you get in, have some people grab a seat while one person goes to the front to order. Their tortillas are sold by the piece, which is one sixth of a giant circular frittata. They also sell croquettes in pairs and there's a discount for getting 8. Most patrons got the original, which is egg + potato. We tried the Brie, which was a crowd pleaser. Cheesy and eggy, with bites of cooked potato for texture. Also, got a goat cheese + caramelized onion one that was more goat cheese than onion. Would sub this one out if I come back. Got 4 jamon and 4 carrilerra (cheeks) croquettes. I thought they were medium sized based on the other Madrid croquettes we had. All croquettes we had on this trip were great, and these were certainly on par. I can see why Pez Tortilla is so popular with many locations. It's a hearty meal at a very affordable price.

You can tell by looking around, the place was emptyish while the tapas places nearby and across the street were full. We actually went inside the restaurant across this place, it was touristy and extremely expensive, we thought, this is not the experience we wanted. We left and entered the Sidreria. Here goes nothing... Here is the lowdown: it is CHEAP, LARGE PORTION sizes, DELICIOUS, super FRIENDLY (bar tender did Everything and was really nice to us. It helped that I speak spanish though) and were you get FREE TAPAS with your drink. Tell me when was the last time you got free tapas in a touristy bar? We ordered a Tinto de Verano (red wine, lemon soda and splash of vermouth) and it was great, cost about 2 euros or so! the only beer though, was San Miguel, but it tastes much better from tap than bottle, we repeated our orders shortly after downing the first batch. The free tapa came as a surprise, we had ordered several (including fried calamari already, and a tortilla) portions again, were cheap and huge. We were full then. At the next round of drinks, another free tapa came. I was surprised again and as a sign of respect, we ate it all again. No comments. A plate of peanuts and soft bread topped with a mayo/potato/fake crab meat. It looked so simple but it was so good! That's when they got me. Simple-delicious (like the tomato on bread and Olive oil) that's it. I was sold and happy we decidedly to enter.

    I've been visiting Malaespina for over a decade -- from my time living in Madrid to every trip back…read more-- and one thing has never changed: it's easily one of the best spots in Madrid for a no-frills, delicious tapas meal and amazing sangria. The quality of the food has remained consistent for the 10 years I've been visiting! Tucked away just off Sol, Malaespina is the epitome of a classic Madrid taverna. The inviting, unpretentious atmosphere, the cozy charm, the prices, the energy -- it's hard to capture it all in words. There's a certain magic at Malaespina. The tavern has been around for hundreds of years, and I often wonder what it was like a century ago. I'm always amazed that such a gem exists in the heart of Madrid, a city center filled with tourist traps. Malaespina draws both locals and tourists -- and for good reason. The food quality to price ratio is unbeatable. On our most recent visit, we had huevos estrellados, tortilla tapas, sangria, and espressos, and spent about $20 for the two of us. You really can't beat that! Here's hoping they stick around for many more years to come.

We thought they were more the size of tapas but each dish was a huge portion itself which definitely isn't a bad thing. The food tasted pretty good but I think it just lacked flavor occasionally. All the meat was cooked well and was very juicy, just could use a little more flavor. Otherwise everything was good. Solid 4 stars

It was quite cramped in there, with tables basically on top of each other, though that's typical in Europe.

I never thought I'd have room for dessert but when the server said they had hazelnut gelato I knew I had to get it. Well, let's just say we did not waste any of it! Even my husband who's normally not a sweets person ate his fair share cause it was so good! We had a great time there, and the prices were extremely reasonable. We liked it so much that we decided to come back 4 days later for lunch before heading to our next destination - Barcelona!
