    Omg, the eggs benedict! Just amazing!!
    Chandra J.

    Wow, just wow, this place is amazing!! A few friends and I went here for brunch yesterday and everything was amazing! There was a little bit of a wait for the five of us, but we did not mind as we sipped on their €1 mimosas! When we were finally sat we checked out their menu which was full of mouth watering eggs benedicts, burgers, and drinks. I decided to order the LaGrace, which was eggs benedict, salmon, and avocado stacked on top off a thicj crusty bread and I chose the side salad. I decided to keep the mimosas coming and had a total of three! Our food came fairly quickly and when the server sat my plate down I was pleasantly surprised. Every part of my nose, mouth, and eyes were tantelized by the flavors, colors, and smells coming from my plate. The eggs were just the right amouny of runny and topped with a sweet and savory sauce. Under that was the avocado, cheese, and a medium thick slice of salmon. I quickly grabbed by fork and knife and began; and after the first bite I stopped and said "oh my gosh, this is one of the best breakfast dishes I've ever tasted!" I continued to dig in and every bite just got better and better. Combined with the mimosas I was in heaven. Every bite had a nice bit of crunch and softness!! I wanted to keep going, but unfortunately my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I had to take one of the benedicts home, but it reheated very well!! I had it the next day with some pineapple--soo amazing! I love the atmosphere of La Gringa--cool and fun music, lively colors, nice servers, and a relaxing and no rush feeling. (I am not sure if that is just Spain, but this place embodies that feeling. Our group felt no pressure to leave) I hope I can make it back here for some more eggs benedict or maybe one of their burgers, which looked mouth watering good!!

    The food here is so delicious. Very close to the center of the city. The waitress was incredibly nice. I ordered the La Grande - salmon eggs Benedict with avocado, it was hands down the best I've had. The egg was cooked perfectly. The price is great and the portions were HUGE! Very American lol.

    I wished I found this place sooner! I had dinner here on my last night in Madrid. The ambiance was homey and inviting. The music put me in such a good mood. The staff were nice and friendly. I tried the bacon mac n cheese. I love mac n cheese and la gringa's was really delicious. Too bad I didn't get a chance to try their other kind. My siblings had the beef sliders, carnitas burrito, and nachos. The portions were big and everything tasted amazing. The only con about this place was that we waited about 20-30mins for the food to come out.

    The French toast was amazing. The eggs a little salty, and the bacon was good.

    The French toast was amazing. The eggs a little salty, and the bacon was good. The Orange juice was refreshing only when I got my glass I saw a dead bug in it. They scooped out the bug, and gave me a new glass with more orange juice coming from the same pitcher. My slight problem with that was I don't know if the bug was in the pitcher or just in the cup!! Either way... the food was good and I would still go back despite the bug situation. The place is small...you will probably have to wait before being seated a little.

    Delicious 5€ nachos

    La Gringa was DELICIOUS! I give this Place 5 stars for it's food, but the service was lacking..the lady was rude, but I've noticed service is not of importance in Spain. We went on Wednesday night which has a "happy hour" menu. We order the nachos, BBQ and hot wings, and shrimp, chicken and vegan tacos. First of all, the nachos has SOUR CREAM!! Which we all know is impossible to find in Spain. The salsa on the nachos tasted home made, as well as the guacamole. excellent for a stater/appetizer. The BBQ and hot wing were great. The hot wings we actually spicy like hot as in Bdubz. Lastly, the "happy hour" tacos were delicious. They still put all the ingredients on instead of leaving things off since it was a discounted price. I definitely recommend coming here if you want something other than raciones. I must say our waitress needed an attitude check for sure! ENJOY!

    Eggs Benedict; bacon and avocado with patatas casadas, salmon and avocado with hash browns. Yum.

    Great place for American brunch. It's Carmencita's sister restaurant, and they have the same menu. I recommend the eggs benedict. You can choose two out of three options: avocado, bacon, or salmon. They can be a bit inconsistent though; sometimes the yolks are amazing and runny but sometimes they're overcooked. They also have mimosas for a euro and some good bloody mary's. Overall a solid pick if you're craving brunch!!!

    OMG!!! Amazing find! So I originally was searching for a chicken wing place and stumbled upon this restaurant. Saw comfort food and was like oh yea we going here. We were notified that without a reservation they may not be able to accommodate us, but after a short 10-15 min wait, the angel in Madrid hostess got us a table!!! While snugged at a two top, my friend & I were fully prepared to order in Spanish; it was time to show off my high school teachings and my duolingo app skills. Looking over the menu, I found familiar words in Spanish that would help me get through ordering: huevos, salchicha, and zumo de naranja. The waitress comes back & notices we are looking at the Spanish menu so she flips it over and WALLAH .. ENGLISH! Lol Since it was Sunday Brunch hours we schemed the menu looking for... WALLAH PART 2...MIMOSAS!!! And we saw 1€ next to it...(in our most thick country accents, mimosas for a dolla?!) lol After ordering the Benedict's, which they were known for, and splurging on the one euro mimosas, we ate very very slow to savor the dish. I ordered their Bunny Benedicts which included: 1 bacon, 1 smoked salmon, and 1 avocado benedict. Their Hollandaise sauce was out of this world! Sooooo good When I get back to the states I will never see an American Benedict the same. Mumbling under my breath "They're not like the ones in Madrid"

    Loved Loved Loved this place!! As much as I loved Spanish cusine(j/k), after 10 days my taste buds were missing my favorite flavorful cuisine "Mexican Food". I found La Gringa on yelp, read the great reviews about the food and customer service, and minutes later my friends and I were in a taxi heading over. Im a big fan of mexican food and comfort food, and consider myself a good judge of quality food. The food was sooo good, the mac n cheese was TDF(to die for). The owner was SUPER SWEET and American! If you're ever craving good mexican food and you're in Madrid, this place is a great choice.

    This burger and fries is a €10 special, well worth it!

    Sometimes you want a break from traditional Spanish food and La Gringa is the place for that. Beyond the exceptional service (which seems to be difficult to find in Spain), the food is great. If you're looking for a cheeseburger or Mac and cheese this is the place to be. The food was fresh and of good quality, plus they serve you American size portions (A LOT of food). The price per dish is very reasonable and they have a full bar as well. This place is truly a gem within the city of Madrid. If you need a break from tapas and want to have some great American food then visit La Gringa today!!

We were largely ignored, and it was difficult to get the attention of any of the servers.

As soon as we walked in a waiter seated us to a booth, left us to choose our order and came straight back just in time. Their english was also great so the communication was without a flaw. After that we ordered a huge caramel milkshake for about €9. The only downhill was that we waited for it for quite some time. But its deliciousnes made up for it. Again, overall 10/10 would recommend trying the place and I for sure will come back someday!

    Haven't really eaten anything in the past 4 days so I was looking for somewhere to eat to satisfy…read moremy hunger. Came across this place on Yelp and saw it had good reviews so I wanted to check it out for myself. Just the sight of people's pictures of the burgers made me really hungry and it was practically the only thing on my mind all day. Decided to make it a night out, and reserved a table relatively late into the evening. Finding the place was more than alright. It's hardly hard to miss. In the middle of Spain something America styled sticks out like a saw thumb. As I don't speak much Spain, I was worried that communicating was going to be a little tough but turned out to be more than alright. There was a tone of options on the menu to choose from but had to stick with what I saw on the website which was Pulled Pork Burger, Chicken Stripes and Chips with bacon on. When the food came I was pretty overwhelmed if I'm honest. I got my money's worth. I thought I'd get three or four Chicken Stripes but turns out it was a basket. The burger was really big and chock full as well. It was really yummy and didn't even touch the sides. I couldn't manage it all so some of it had to be taken back in a bag which I'll eat at home. Overall, great service, great food, great music/atmosphere and a great night out. Well worth it!

Well...I think that he was in the Twilight Zone because this meal was totally different. The wings were nothing to write home about. Small pieces and the BBQ sauce wasn't even tossed with the wings; they were more like drizzled on. The chicken tenders were probably the worst I have ever had...I don't see them selling a lot and they had a vinegary taste to them. After 1/2 bite, I had enough...And the oil they fried everything in was old and the food absorbed it. The burgers finally came and they looked like something we make at a home barbecue. Nothing special. The bun fell apart. The meat was practically raw, as you can see from the pictures. The bacon was fried to a crisp and was like eating a bacon potato chip. And the fries were good, salty, crispy and oil soaked...Complimented the sub-par hamburger. I guess quality and value isn't on the menu cause I didn't see it in our meal.
