I was surprised at the current menu after having been coming here for years. Gone are the frituras…read morede malanga, the fricasé de cerdo, and other truly well made Cuban dishes. Besides a couple of Cuban dishes, now they have items of Mexican, Peruvian, and Venezuelan origin. Nothing wrong with that, except that I expected a full range of Cuban dishes like they used to have. The mojitos tasted mostly of sugar.The staff was nice and efficient and the music was good.

The food was great. 1 Ropa Vieja - the soup came in a pot to keep it warm and the rice and beans were tasty. 3 Cubanos - Excellent examples of the famous sandwich. Even the 8-year-old grandson liked it. Fried Plantains! - thin, crispy, perfect. Someone inhaled almost all of them. + Music - it was American (yuck) when we entered but they changed it to Cubana at our request. + small outdoor patio - paper napkins - flatware - Malta lightweight €46 for lunch for 4

Cuban food in Spain.... I've always said Cuban food is some of the best food on the planet due to…read morethe African influence in the food. With that said this place appears it won't disappoint just from the look of the food on the other customers tables. I came late for drinks and appetizers and didn't get a chance to order a main dish, but the appetizer were good. I'll get another chance to try the food before I leave, it's already on my list. Im looking forward to it. Update.... came back and had the food, they get one more star. Living in Miami, home of Little Havana I've eaten some of the best Cuban food outside of Cuba (I've been to Cuba as well shout out to El Aljibe). This place can compete with the best of them.... lastly that tamale was something special....I'll be back again before my trip is over most definitely.

Caipirinha, Mojito, croquetas cubanas, and a "completo a la cubana" w/ ropa vieja and bread... ... Sorry, it took me a minute to wake up from the food coma i went into just from mentioning what we ate. If visiting downtown Madrid, come hit up this hidden spot. The music, food, and drinks will make you feel at ease and amazing. Salsa music is very old school and it is not fair to only give it 5 stars when it deserves more than that. Thank you, La colonial and their staff. Amazing service.
