    fried mushrooms
    Jennifer G.H. W.

    Ok, this place seems like a scene, people are loud and want to have some fun! It's a packed house tonight. We had to wait a bit, before we got a seat. What we ordered: Sangrias: We had to order another round, since it was yummy Tripe stew- Yes, this is not for the faint of heart! Haha, the waiter kept on warning us, you sure, you want this...we said "yes." This is a heavy and more traditional dish. But, gosh, it was sooo tasty! Omelette-tasted like potatoes and mayo, but still ymmy Shiitake mushrooms-fried dip in ranch dressing, different twist other than calamari? Not bad Paella-was average, but I thought it went well with the tripe stew.

    Madrid is one of my favorite cities. From the wonderful people to the plethora of Tapas Bar's. SO when me and a friend walked into Fatigas del Querer, I was so pleasantly surprised to see how friendly the staff was. Actually not surprised at all, as we were treated like Canadian's and not the American degenerate pig bastard, that we have become everywhere, except Thailand. That being said the bartenders kept us busy with our broken Spanish and there better English. Try the Iberico, Try the Chorizo, try, try, try! Loved it all. The wine the food the company! Although I thought Florida shrimp aioli is better, I was still impressed. Can't wait to get on a plane again.

    We came for a drink at the bar and their tinto list was huge so we asked for our bartender's opinion. He was very helpful and knowledgeable too. We let him choose the wine for us and it was very nice. My first favorite Tinto Rioja in Spain--the start of my education. He clearly loves his job and wine. It is so fun to meet people like that. I wrote down his name but I lost it along the way. He is a red-head with a heavier lisp than typical in Madrid. I hope this place recognizes a wonderful employee as he is (maybe his name is George?) We came back for Sangria on another day and enjoyed watching the staff make it. After reading all the reviews, I wish we had been hungry when we came. Next time :-)

    Paella

    This restaurant is super busy! They serve tapas, but the portions are huge! I was used to the small sized tapas and accidentally over ordered. I ordered: - Shrimp with garlic sauce - This was good, but anything in garlic sauce is good. - Patata Bravas - Probably the best I had in Madrid. The potatoes were fresh and I really loved the sauce! - Oxtail with potatoes - This was so big! We couldn't finish the oxtail, which made me so sad. But the oxtail was yummy! The meat was so tender that it was falling apart and melt in your mouth ready. I wish there was more sauce. Tip: I'd recommend only order the Oxtail or Patata Bravas and not both, unless you have a lot of people. We had way too many potatoes left over. - Paella - It was OK. Too fishy for my taste. Not something I'd highly recommend The service was decent as well. It's hard to flag waiters down when they're busy but also because we are tourists and just have a hard time communicating sometimes. Not a must try, but definitely better than all the restaurants near the touristy areas!

    oxtail and potatoes

    Came here with my family on a recent trip to Madrid and left very full and very satisfied. The restaurant itself is pretty big compared to a lot of other restaurants and tapas bars we went to. We were happy to see that there were plenty of tables to sit at, especially after a long day of walking. Keep in mind, we went early to avoid the dinnertime crowds. The food was delicious and very affordable. We ordered the potatoes with two different sauces (seemed like garlic mayo sauce and a red pepper sauce), oxtail, calamari, and fried fish. My favorite was the oxtail, which was super tender and very flavorful. The potatoes were really tasty with the sauces. I became pretty addicted to the sauces... they were great for dipping the bread in after the potatoes were gone. The sangria here was also really good. My sister, who's studying in Madrid this summer, loved this place so much that she's come back twice with her classmates. Overall, this place is a fantastic value for delicious, authentic Spanish food. Highly recommended!

    2 euro sangrias! Yes! We stopped here after a local suggested it to us and were not disappointed. It wasn't very busy when we got there, definitely not a touristy spot, which was great. The waiters were helpful and everyone spoke enough english for us to ask questions and order. We had to get the paella and it was so good. Very well priced too! Quite a bit of seafood. We also had a few tapas, cheese and meat types of plates. They also brought out a few little sausages when we first got there, they looked a little odd but we still ate them and they were really good.

    Delicious and inexpensive tapas! Some girls took me here and I was not disappointed.

    We went here for lunch and the waiter was very helpful! His English was fairly decent and he told us the three most popular main dishes to order. My plate was just a ton of shrimp and it was delicious and filled with garlic. Prices were good, service was good, Id definitely come back

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.

    I absolutely adore this restaurant! I have visited it twice, and definitely next time I go to…read moreMadrid, I will visit it again. The restaurant is located in the heart of Madrid on a very cute street, and it is easy to find and walk there if you stay in the city center. The place is not very big - both times I went there for lunch, there were no tables available, so I had to sit at the bar; once I even had to wait about 7 minutes until one bar spot became free. The restaurant's design is simple, but pretty and lovely. Overall, the restaurant is in very good condition and was perfectly clean both times I visited. The only small downside is that the place is quite noisy, but it did not bother me. One of the best things about this place is the people who work there - both a guy and a lady at the bar were extremely nice and friendly to me; plus, both spoke very good English. They gave me recommendations on what to try, and I followed their advice. The restaurant's menu is not big, but it has all the most popular traditional Spanish dishes. Both times I ordered Rabo de Toro (a traditional Spanish stew), Fardos (squid rolls with bacon and squid ink mousse); and once I also tried croquetas de jamón (ham croquettes). The croquettes were tasty - I loved their flavor and soft texture. One portion includes 6 pieces, and they are quite big and filling. It was my first time trying Fardos (I ordered a 1/3 portion), and it was a great experience - the dish turned very delicious after the bartender mixed it for me. The squid was cooked very nicely, and combined with the fresh bacon and ink mousse, it tasted fantastic. Rabo de Toro (I ordered a 1/2 portion) was also my first time trying this dish, and I loved it - the stew was perfectly cooked, very soft and moist, with rich flavors, and it melted in my mouth. The restaurant also offers a wide variety of drinks, especially wines. I do not drink alcohol, so I was recommended to try grape juice - Mosto, which was extremely flavorful and tasted like fresh pressed grape juice, even though it came from a glass bottle. I loved that drink! Price-wise, all items on the menu seemed reasonable. I paid €8 for 6 ham croquettes, €12 for a half portion of Rabo de Toro, €8 for a 1/3 portion of Fardos, and €3 for one glass of grape juice. It is possible to have a nice full lunch here for around €22, which is reasonable for a restaurant in the heart of Madrid. The place accepts all major credit cards and Apple Pay, which is a big plus. If you visit this restaurant, I strongly recommend trying 1/3 or 2/3 portion of Fardos, a half portion of Rabo de Toro, and their grape juice Mosto - it's enough food to feel full and experience traditional Spanish flavors.

I ordered the Oxtail (Rabo de Toro) and wooooow... easily one of the most tender and delicate pieces of meat I've EVER had. They serve it boneless, but I'm pretty sure if they would have provided a bone, it would've fallen right off. The whole place gives cozy tavern vibes with a rustic interior that feels perfectly Madrid. NOTE: the portions are a bit heavier than most spots. I hate to waste food, especially when it's as immaculate as the Oxtail, but if you're a party of one, you got to do what you go to do.

    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
