The food was actually quite good. The famous tortilla is on the runnier side, but I really liked it; it was moist and had good flavor. The ratatouille (pisto de manchego) was also tasty. The oxtail was tender and flavorful, without being overly salted. Service is brusque but efficient.

Delicious and incredibly friendly. There will be a wait as this place is popular with locals and…read moretourists like me who saw it on Somebody Feed Phil. They have their service down to a science as I found myself seated relatively easily. Ordered a ton of food as half orders thinking it was going to be a small meal but their half portions were still huge and meant for sharing! The tortilla con cebolla is a must unless you don't like gooey omelettes though I suggest you give it a shot. The torreznos here were great as well and no one turned me down as I started offering them to tables next to me as I underestimated the portion sizes. Again, these are all half portions!! Crazy delicious meal at a lively spot for a very reasonable price

Taking an early morning stroll in Madrid and we casually pass by La Merendona. Attracted by their…read morebaked goods in the window, we decided to give them a try. Love the quaint yet chic & modern decor. The owner was there the day we visited and was so friendly. She explained some of the menu items we were unfamiliar with. Their coffee and small bites were phenomenal! You could tell everything was made fresh and with quality ingredients. Next time we visit Madrid we'll be stopping by here again!

So glad that we found it because the everything was amazing. A small coffee & dessert shop that's very unique with an urban but home-like feeling. The owner was there to open and speaks English so that really made it comfortable for us to select what to eat. She gave us her recommendations on what to try being that you couldn't visually see what was inside most of the pastry items and the menu was in Spanish. I assume that it isn't a dog friendly venue...one of the patrons sat their dog outside while they enjoyed coffee. Their selections of pastries are endless; From cakes, to donuts, tarts, quiches, meat pies, meat empanadas, etc. I'm sad that I didn't try any of the sweets, but I did order the smoked salmon & queso cream cheese sandwhich, along with their puff pastry of spinach (my favorite) & beef & chicken empanadas. Light & small but shareable as my girlfriend and I enjoyed every last bite & toasted with a cup of coffee!

Service was OK, people were a little rude. We had one issue with the waitress, she never asked us if we wanted to be charged Euros vs US dollars.

This was the first dinner meal my mom and I had in Madrid and let's just say it completely exceeded…read moremy expectations. When we walked in we were welcomed by such warm service! I truly have to highlight Pepe, Franco, and Grace for taking the time to speak to us and get to know us. The food was FANTASTIC. We ordered the seafood paella, jamon iberico, garlic shrimp, and sangria. The paella was filled with a ton of flavor which was DELICIOUS. Everything was fantastic, but the Sangria was spectacular, (probably one of the best sangrias I've ever had). At the end of our meal, Pepe brought us two liquor de Limon shots, which made our whole night!! Definitely recommend this place in the La Latina neighborhood. You won't regret it!

The…read morespace is very small and they manage to fit a surprising number of people inside, so you immediately notice how tight the squeeze is. It has that classic bustling tapas bar energy where everyone is close enough to feel like part of one big conversation. The food was the highlight. The clams were flavorful and fresh, the octopus was cooked beautifully and the paella was delicious. It is a great place to stop in for a drink and a quick bite, especially if you want something authentic and lively. When we visited, it was packed to the point where you were shoulder to shoulder with other guests and close enough to easily hear the party next to you. It adds to the charm if you enjoy that classic crowded European dining atmosphere, but it is something to keep in mind if you prefer more space.
