If you are after authentic Spanish tapas, this place is great…read more We tried garlic prawns, deep friend calamari, green peppers, fried potatoes with aioli, pizza and the Spanish omelet. All VERY tasty and good! The red wine was delicious and super cheap. The staff spoke very little English, but where friendly and happy! The down side was the two TV's showing a soccer game and the super bright white cold ceiling lights - not very cosy! Oh, and make sure to go upstairs as downstairs is more of a bar and super messy with drunk ppl. Upstairs is the actual restaurant!

Georgiano was our server, personable and interesting he, like a lot of our servers, was from elsewhere in Europe (Georgia) and working for a few months in Madrid. I recommend the tapas platter, the stewed oxtail was good too.

We came here at around lunch time and it was half full inside. Their English here isn't very good…read moreso be warned when trying to enter. They try their best to help you which is nice. You order at the bar and pick it up at the bar. You can sit wherever you like basically. We ordered fried croquettes, potato omelet, churros and tomato toast. The churros were our second favourite in Madrid. They weren't hot out of the frier but they were crispy and addictive. The tomato toast was a pass - nothing amazing and didn't have enough garlic. The croquettes came out piping hot. Nice and crispy. The potato omelet was also served cold but it went really well with the bread. I would imagine it was very delicious if it was hot. I would come back to try the other things on the menu as their menu is so big. They have lots of things that you could enjoy as snacks. A lot of locals come here and not a lot of tourists which is nice.

A friend and I stumbled on this gem looking for breakfast and a place to kill some time…read more Full of locals, the cafeteria looked promising, a group of men even moved for us to be able to sit together. We don't (unfortunately) speak any Spanish but the staff were all lovely and accommodating anyway :) We ordered a burger and coffee each, and a plate of churros to share, which all came in at under €5 each and were absolutely delicious! If I ever find myself back in Madrid I will definitely be making my way back here!

But let's be honest, you're not here for the food. You're here for the cheap drink and the terrace. Side note, the waiters and waitresses are surprisingly friendly! Bonus.

Sometimes you CAN judge a book by it's cover. This place looks like a cafeteria and the food tastes…read morelike it too. I had this rice dish which was a ball of rice with canned tomato puree over it with a fried egg. Seriously? The main dish, the hake, was so bland that it sapped me of all desire in life Oh and the free dessert? Things are looking up, my friends. Yes some pineapple sounds amazing. Could some freshly cut pineapple turn this all around? It sure could have, but sadly it was 2 sad looking slices out of can, where I suspect all their food is from. You want cheap eats? Go to the kebab place down the street, which is actually good.
