Bacoa is a young, vibrant, burger-loving hipster's paradise in the heart of Madrid. The menus…read morewhere's you can mark off what you'd like on your burger are lined up along the front. You build it the way you want it. We were there around 9:00 pm on a Friday night and the place was packed although we were lucky enough to locate two seats in the middle of all the action. They'll bring your order to you, and the ladies can store their purses under their seat in a cleverly designed stool with a basket that is thief proof. It may seem like a small thing but actually is quite important given how crowded the place is and how little room there would be to put your bag down anywhere. The niche of Bacoa is that the burgers are offered in a variety of meats including lamb, and built with all organic products. You'll only find locations in Madrid and Barcelona but it looks like an establishment you'd find in Santa Monica or NYC. My burger was HUGE and delicious. The meat was cooked just as I had requested and was tender and juicy. The avocado and bacon I added to the burger complemented it nicely, but I wished I had topped it with the manchego cheese the Spaniards love so much. The chicken burger was also a delicious thin layer of chicken which we paired with a salad to reduce the guilt that came with our meal. The salad is served with no dressing but there is olive oil and vinegar to make your own dressing. One of the highlights of the meal was their spicy sauce that you can find on all the tables. It's delicious on the burger or on your fries. Since we're in Spain we actually opted for the papas bravas version rather than traditional French Fries, which I would highly suggest.

You'll order your burger from a sheet with tickboxes where you choose the type of protein, the toppings, bun and sides. Or have a bowl. Turn in the sheet at the counter and wait for your burger to be prepared to order. Very simple. I opted for the Galician Beef with "Manchego" and a side of the "Bacoa french fries". Nothing complicated and it turned out great. I even managed a San Miguel while I waited for it to be prepared. Very good burger, though done to a rare rather than medium. I lived to tell the tale and ate the entire thing. Yum! It's not fancy but it's reasonably priced (€6.70 for the burger and €2.50 for the fries). Plenty of seating including tables and a narrow counter area next to the kitchen.

Within 30 minutes, the place was filled with hungry people! We ordered the nachos and spicy chicken wings to start off with and then split the Texas burger. All 3 were absolutely delicious and we were both in a food coma after devouring our smorgasbord. I also had a pint of their "Blind Cowboy Pale Ale" which was great. They even have my boyfriend's favorite beer: Anchor Steam which is brewed in San Francisco. I love that this restaurant took the time to design a beer menu that is unique and top quality. I didn't get our waiter's name but he was very friendly and spoke enough English to get our order in which is always greatly appreciated when there is a language barrier. Go here if you need a break from the wonderful cuisine Madrid has to offer because this place is an absolute gem and would most definitely kick ass in the states!

My husband & I arrived in Madrid from Seville via the rail station. When we arrived at our hotel…read morethey said it was too early for us to get checked into a room, as it wasn't ready yet. We looked on Yelp for some food suggestions, & my husband made note of Steak Burger place as we were being driven to our hotel. It had some nice reviews, so we thought we'd give it a try. As soon as we walked in, I said "yum" it smelled amazing inside the restaurant!! We were immediately seated at a comfy table for 2, & given a UPC code to look up their full menu. We decided on a steak burger with bacon & cheese. We chose the smallest of the three options, it was more than enough to fill both of us up. It was delicious!! I looked at my husband & said "this is the best beef we've had since we left home (8 weeks ago!)". We've been through 7 other countries since we departed on 5/1/25. The bacon cheeseburger came with fries & they were crispy, yet tender on the inside. After we finished, our waiter (who made sure we had what we needed, but didn't fuss over us) asked if we wanted dessert. My hubby said "what do you have". When our waiter mentioned cheesecake, my husbands eyes lit up & so we ordered their cheesecake. It was one of the largest slices we have ever been served out at a restaurant. It had raspberry crumbles on top of it (I would have preferred chocolate, because what doesn't go with chocolate???). My husband probably would have chosen fresh strawberries on top, but he thoroughly enjoyed the raspberry crumbles. All in all it was a very delicious meal for about 28 euros (not too bad). It was a lively atmosphere, so if you want peace & quiet, it's not the place for you. We split everything we ordered, & we both left quite full. My only negative comment (which may not bother some people) is: Of all of the places we've had meals at over the last 8 weeks in Europe, this one was the most like US restaurants in that they want to turn tables as quickly as possible. They were swamped (we were seated immediately which was a plus for us) but I saw a woman approach our waiter about getting a table in this very busy restaurant, & not long after that, the same waiter approached a couple next to us & within minutes the couple were moved to a table near the rear of the restaurant. The lady who had approached our waiter & her 2 friends were seated at that now vacant table. Shortly after that, a young guy sitting at a high top bar looking table, by himself, was moved to somewhere else in the restaurant & 3 young ladies ended up with his original table. As we were leaving I noticed the three young ladies moving. Another couple was standing near our table, were apparently waiting to be seated, & I assume they were seated at our table before we reached the door to exit. In my opinion, It was a lot of shuffling, but I guess it turns more tables & makes the owner/manager group happy. As we finished with items it they were quickly removed from our table, which also expedites the clearing of tables & makes it quicker to seat new people, thus turning more money. I really liked the idea of your table is yours until you decide you don't want it anymore, everywhere else in Europe.

(apparently reviews from a year ago also say their excuse was/is shift change) It's not the shift change problem, it's the management problem. What he really has is a lack of ability to run this restaurant smoothly. They need more staff, waiters, and bartenders. The only reason why they're staying alive is because they are on a busy street and unsuspecting tourists don't know better.

I did not care for their salt and vinegar fries. It tasted very similar to their original fries. It was not very distinct in flavor and it's not worth paying the few extra euros for. I highly recommended their Parmesan fries. This is worth the upgrade with a few extra euros. Their milkshakes are presented in a very trendy and retro diner style glass cup.
