But we got the one waitress who was really nasty…read more She was rude, didn't want to answer many questions, insisted the two of us order one tapa only, and she literally slammed the food down in front of us without saying a word. I wish I had her name, but she was middle-aged, had mid length hair and very tired eyes. It was just not the same positive tapa experience. I've had elsewhere in Madrid.

If you sit outside, there is a very small markup on the tab. I sat at the bar alone, and despite being a social place where people generally go with a group of friends, it wasn't awkward at all. You order a caña (small beer) and one tapa off the menu of 22 choices. (What restaurants call tapas in the States are really raciones, smaller plates, which they also serve here.) Tapas are included free with the price of a beer. So you can drink and fill up and try different things. I had the mini fajita de pollo y verduras (chicken and vegetables), which had a slight spicy flavor I've been missing. It came with a few fries and mayo sauce. Then I quickly ordered a second (you have to order before 1130pm, which is kinda early here). Next I had the filetito de ternera con salsa chimichurri (the popular pork fillet on a slice of baguette, served with housemade potato chips). Each item is bigger than an hors d'oevres, think three or four bites. You could stay here for a few hours and be quite content. The place is bustling and the staff are energetic and fun. People gave the bartenders a bit of change (tipping isn't customary) because they do hustle between rounds of drinks and tapas. Total tab before tip: 3 Euros ($3.26 at the current exchange rate). Seriously.

The combination of great food, great music, great drinks, and excellent service creates a setting where you can easily spend hours enjoying the lively people-watching. Arneo provided exceptional service and made some fantastic recommendations. I started with a complimentary appetizer, and a Vermut, followed by the Entraña a la Parrilla, which was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. From start to finish, the experience was memorable, and I'll definitely be returning.

As a bonus, they focus on creating food that is gluten free. For beer we had a lager by La Virgen. It was a good drinkable beer.

The food was very good and nicely prepared with mild natural flavors from the ingredients. Odds and ends. They have bathrooms. They make sure there are foot rests at all table heights which is a nice touch. Also, they have a larger eating area on the second floor.

We ordered everything on the Tapas menu but ended up drinking more than we ate. All I know is that I started with my typical Gin and Tonic but somehow the bartender convinced me to try other drinks he's made up. Everything was incredible and it didn't hurt that he was gorgeous! ;-) If you're looking for authentic Spanish tapas place, this isn't it. The menu is more international so you can get a taste of many countries from one menu. This place is Modern, Hip and a super fun environment. I'll be back again!!!
