There's an à la carte menu & daily menu (22.5 euros for 3 courses). I asked the worker what his favorite dishes and fully trusted his decisions from the daily menu. The daily menu set was definitely worth the price and I loved the selection, especially the steak and cheesecake which was not too sweet at all. The first dish reminded me of tripe and intestines, super yummy as well.

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.

The overworked waitress just left in the middle of a rush because she got yelled at by her boss to work harder and no one was helping her. Not coming back. And our 3 mojitos ...was basically lemonade w mint and ice, sour as sh*t w no alcohol. The manager was giving excuses of "shift change". (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.

The skirt steak was so tough though that I could barely eat it apart from the edges. My friend had the roasted chicken which was delicious.

What stuck with me was that food is what you'd get in top-notch Michelin-starred restaurants but the atmosphere is far from those aloof feelings typical of those places, on the contrary, it's warm and feels like you're in your casual local bar with your best buddies. What is greater than having 5-star food but being relaxed enough as if you were at a friend's house? The service is attentive and friendly, the servers are patient and professional. They take their time to explain anything you might need and make proper recommendations. The plates are on a smaller size, so if you have a big appetite you will have to order quite a bit, however, every single item was a hit. Each dish is creative, with perfectly combined flavors, nicely balanced, textures on point, and the presentations are stunning. A work of art comes to your table every time. It's difficult to suggest individual dishes because I can say that everything is fabulous but the Ceviche was something supernatural. Don't forget the cocktails! They are another experience in themselves. Same standard of beautiful presentation and great flavor combinations to choose from. This hidden spot deserves more recognition than it has.
