    El Pimiento Verde - Traditional tripe stew

    One of many branches, El Pimiento Verde on Calle de Castelló is a nicer restaurant for which you'll…read morewant to make a reservation ahead of time. With a decently sized menu, there will be no shortage of dishes to try. We elected to go for some Spanish classics and their featured dishes, which included their Creamy Rice with Lobster, Traditional Tripe Stew, and Aged Beer Rib-eye. The creamy rice with lobster is essentially a risotto, with the rice being cooked al dente. While the texture is nice, because of the smaller portion of lobster and the lack of flavor, by the end it feels like you're just left with a bowl of undercooked rice. The traditional tripe stew was quite good, with the beef being extremely tender and chewy. The rib-eye itself was a large cut, however, a good portion of the meat is fat. Additionally, it's only seasoned with a light touch of salt, so at the end of the day also lacking a bit. If you want to come to El Pimiento Verde, it's primarily for the ambience. The food itself is fine, though nothing to call home about. If you're short on time and looking for places to experience Spanish cuisine, this is probably one restaurant that can be skipped.

    Great place for dinner! We had a reservation, which I would recommend. This place wasn't too loud…read moreand our server had great recommendations on the wine and around the food on the menu. Highly recommend the calamari and my cod was so light and flaky.

Everything we asked for we were told it was not available. Never again. Maybe other people feel the same because only 2 tables had customers

For an appetizer, we had the shrimp (gambinos) which came in a garlic butter sauce. They were delicious. Bread was also included as an appetizer (they will charge you for bread even if you didn't ask for it). We also had small peppers stuffed with fish in a creamy sauce, personally I loved these but others in the group weren't fond of the consistency. As a main dish I had the filet (IT WAS HUGE compared to the sirloin). I had mine medium, although it was very pink, it was so tender and juicy! With the meat they serve it with potatoes that have been sliced and cooked in a butter garlic sauce, that was just as amazing as the meat. They also serve it with cooked tomatoes that were delicious as well. Overall this meal was fantastic. This meal falls in my top 2 of places I ate while in Madrid. The owner was so sweet and helpful of my friends who did not speak Spanish! Everyone was kind and patient and made an effort to communicate. 10/10 ...ALSO! We had a Summer Wine for drinks which to die for, it's lighter than a sangria and refreshes you!
