As a bonus, they focus on creating food that is gluten free. For beer we had a lager by La Virgen. It was a good drinkable beer. For entrees we had grilled chicken with beetroot gnocchi and Roasted Eggplant with goat cheese pomegranate honey and peppermint. The food was very good and nicely prepared with mild natural flavors from the ingredients. Odds and ends. They have bathrooms. They make sure there are foot rests at all table heights which is a nice touch. Also, they have a larger eating area on the second floor. There are hundreds of places to eat around Madrid, but we found LA Tape to offer a unique take on food preparation that has it stand out compared to many that sell local traditional fare.

I started with a complimentary appetizer, and a Vermut, followed by the Entraña a la Parrilla, which was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious.

I went to three different restaurants - one closed for private party, two others were closing kitchen in less than 30 minutes. I happened upon El Madroño, which more and more felt like a tourist trap. I did visit on a cold night in November 2023, and I did sit outside. This should not be the reason that food is served cold! I ordered oxtail, which came with potatoes. The server recommended this dish. It was tasty, but cold food is not pleasant. I don't normally do this, but I asked the server to heat it up. When he came back, the oxtail was lukewarm and the potatoes were cold. Other menu items were not worth mentioning. They charged us cold hard pan/bread for €1. They do have a great location though. During the dinner, some entertainers were playing music and rapping in Spanish asking patrons for money. The meal was over $60 USD for two people. I won't be coming back.

I am not big on pork or sea food so I directly go for their steaks. You have to order tosta de escalopines thinly sliced sirloin on a bed of Brie cheese on toasted baguette. It's the entire baguette, cut in half and toasted. I think the most important detail is the rock salt they put on the entire construction. I sometimes crave for this simple and delicious food and do not have any reservations going there by myself and eating the entire thing alone so that I don't have to share with anyone. It's cheap, service is friendly and excellent. Sit down and watch people if you can get your head up from indulging your entirety into your food.

The next night we all went back (my dad loved this place and wanted us to experience what he had ) and had a new server- Angel who was phenomenal.

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.
