    It was bound to happen after a few days away from home - that craving for Mexican food - and it was Yelp to the rescue while exploring Chueca, steering us towards La Mordida de Belén. The interior is classic Mexican restaurant, with a really fun, colorful interior that gets you right in the mood for a margarita, and the margaritas here are both quite good and quite strong... you'll want more than one, so definitely get a pitcher or two for the table. We started with the nachos con guacamole, topped with queso fundido, frijoles refritos, and pico de gallo - a large appetizer that was quite tasty, having that little bit of saltiness that went quite well with the margaritas. For me, my late lunch (okay, normal-time lunch in Europe) was the chicken enchiladas verdes, three corn tortilla-rolled beauties covered with salsa, cheese, and red onion. Despite being thousands of miles away from Mexico, these enchiladas were surprisingly good - and don't forget to order them spicy, for that extra kick. One of our vegetarian friends who had flown in from Frankfurt to join us ordered the veggie fajitas and she absolutely loved them, saying that the could easily eat them every single day. The service here is great as well, so go on in, snag a window table so you can watch the passers-by on the narrow Calle de Belén, and spend a lazy afternoon catching up with friends over drinks and really good Mexican fare at La Mordida de Belén. ¡Buen provecho!

    Loved this place soooo freaking much! Service was awesome. I'm pretty sure I had the best mojito ever here and cannot wait to go back lol. I arrived at 3:50 They were about to close at 4:30 and let me know. But they were timely with getting our order and food and I did not feel rushed. I had the mixed fajitas and they were good. I loved I didn't have to ask for more tortillas they gave me plenty!

    The green enchiladas (12.99€ I believe)

    I am Mexican from California and have been looking for decent Mexican food in Madrid and this is the best I can find so far! I had the green enchiladas and they were very good... I couldn't finish the whole plate! The plate cost me in the 12€ range. Worth it if you're having that craving! This place is worth a try for anyone wanting good Mexican food.

    This restaurant was absolutely fabulous! My friend and I got there on the early side of dinner and when we arrived there was only one other group eating, so we were a bit worried how the food would taste. By the end of dinner, the restaurant was packed and they'd served us two shots each on the house. One of the best meals I've had in Madrid for sure!

    Not the best picture but the best nachos and guac in España!!!!

    I love la mordida so much. Eat here. Right now. Why are you still reading this review? GO EAT! The nachos, I dream about them. And the taco al pastor. This place is the best Mexican I've had since I've been in Europe (from west coast USA).

    Love the decor!!

    Yelp does it again. This place was hopping!! Mexican in Madrid!! Loved the margaritas, the nachos and the fajitas--all good. The atmosphere was bright and cheery and filled with Madridites. The servers were awesome and everyone in the place was happy to be there. It got packed by 10pm--of course being American, we were the first ones there.

    Tacos al pastor con queso were good but not great. I felt like the meat wasn't cooked correctly because some were chewy and some were hard. The prices here are a little more expensive than surrounding Mexican restaurants. If the prices were a little lower I would give 5 stars but there are cheaper options around. 15 euros for as many tacos as you can make with the meat given - I had 5 (street) tacos.

    After trying all manner of tapas, this was a refreshing change. I'm so glad I've had authentic…read moreMexican food in Mexico and in Detroit's Mexican Town many times so I know how good it can be. Santita stands with the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. To start, it already stands out from every other restaurant I've visited in Madrid because of his beer selection. Instead of ordering Cerveza, and getting the one beer the place has, you have nice choice of Mexican beers, served in a bottle. Negra Modelo, one of my favorites, was among them. Margaritas are small, but cheap (5€), tasty, and potent. Guacamole is creamy and robust, served in a stone mortar, as it's traditionally been made for centuries. The tortilla chips are thick, and not particularly salty, but they're a perfect pairing to start the meal. Please, please order the Los Ignacios...the most perfect Mexican pizza you'll ever have in your life. The description on the menu says "our version of the traditional nachos". For Americans, this evokes tortilla chips with melted cheese, onions, and peppers with low grade meat. Here, you get a thin, crispy crust layered with pico de gallo, cheese, beans, guacamole, meat...yes, similar ingredients in crappy bar nachos, but so, so much better. Tacos are tiny discs piled with meat. The tacos de pollo (chicken) is covered in a rich crema, with small pieces of lean chicken breast. The tacos de chochinita had a massive mound of marinated pork. All had pickled red onions on top. My wife didn't like all the crema, but I did. The pork was excellent. The burrito de pollo was massive and suitable for sharing (though our friend didn't want to share). It has excellent rice with the chicken. We had tried to order a side of rice previously, and we were told it couldn't be ordered separately. Not sure why that is, but this is a great way to get it. Yes, we were stuffed by then. No, we didn't stop ordering. We closed with coconut ice cream, which was pretty standard, but the margarita ice cream? Wow. It's a scoop of ice cream that gets a shot of tequila dumped on it. The sweetness balances the tequila beautifully. Service was also excellent. We ordered a few rounds of drinks (lost track of how many...oops). All the things we ordered set us back 93€. What a great way to experience authentic Mexican cuisine.

    Just happened onto this place, and it was AMAZING! The first impression is how cute and unique the…read moredecorations are and what a nice atmosphere they create. I had no idea it was Mexican food when we first walked in and thought what's the big deal since I have Mexican all the time in the U.S. Boy, was I surprised! They did such an impressive job of combining such a variation of flavors and bringing them all together in each bite. The food was something I would expect from a top-level chef. We wanted to eat everything on the menu and really wish that we could have done so. A simple taco was such an incredible taste experience. Whatever they used to create that flavor fest was just delicious. Wish I could go again!!!
