Wandering in the la Latina neighborhood and stumbled on this spot for lunch. Nicely shaded area at…read more2 pm lunch area. And offering menu del dia for 12 euros but 1.20 extra if on the terrazzo (patio seating) which is typical in Madrid. We sat outside as it was a nice warm day with a good breeze. Service was helpful with some English words from our server. He was a bit slow in service but was nice. I had all day so I didn't care that things were more slow than I am used to. Food was generic and likely played more to the western palate. Bread to start, wine, nice cool gazpacho soup, chicken thigh and drumstick in what seemed like a soy sauce with roasted potatoes. Dessert is coffee or a choice of chocolate cake, carrot cake or banana cake. Overall ok place but I was hoping for more local flavours.

So, found this lovely bar cafe when I got lost with my friend. Everything was wonderful, the…read moreservice, the ambiance and the carrot cake was to die for. But one tiny complaint, though. Ordered cafe con leche and colacao, the cups were too small for a cafe con leche, and even too small for colacao that usually had like, 200 ml of milk. The cups were more appropriate for cafe corto or macchiato. Hope they'll change it in near future.

We stopped for a quick bite at Tequeños as we were told they were outstanding. Needles to say they…read moreare awesome, tender dough, nice cheese consistency and taste. Accompanying dips were flavorful and complementary, giving a deeper level to flavors and palate. The menu was a typical Spanish one with lots of bar food options, a few Venezuelan additions and a few classics. Attention was impeccable, atmosphere very young, dynamic, a beautiful setting with two main covered areas and an outdoor patio to open later this year. Overall a great experience, we'll come back to try out other options in the menu.

When the original restaurnat we were going to was slammed with no tables - we ended up here…read more Without internet we did the "old school" - peek at the menu...look inside to see if it's busy....shrug...let's do it. So glad we did. Ham croquetas - amazing come with little shoe string potato chips and sauce. A lot of ham in them. Gorgonzola croquetas - wowzers! Fried perfectly and creamy goodness inside! My vegetarian wife loved them! So, they actually made a mistake. We were going to do 3 and 3 on the croquetas but they brought out 6 ham at first. To make it right they offered the 3 cheese croquetas at no charge and profusely apologized about the mix up. That leads me to the fact that our server was EXCELLENT. Super nice, speedy, waitied for us to finish plates before bringing the next one out....he was great all around! Tabla de jamon - comes with pan con tomate. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Basically this is slices of ham on a wooden board...with some bread sticks and a side of bread with tomato sauce. The bread was SUPER soft and with the tomato sauce it was perfect. You put a few slices of ham on top..and bite in. SO GOOD. In between bites you can wash it down with a slice of ham...cause YOLO. This was one of my favorite things I ate on the trip to Spain...so glad I fit it in on the last day! I also washed it down with an ice cold beer. The spot very reminescent of a trendy spot in the states where hipsters hang out. Yet it never felt pretensious. They are just cranking out good food - with good service - while having the place look super hip/clean. I really liked it. Overall a great spot to grab a bite. We were there at lunch time on a weekend and it was only about half full...so not sure how other days/times are.

I guess 10.50 euro for an appetizer, main, drink, and dessert isnt a bad deal. But if u want a real…read moremeal, to fill u up not with bones and fat and little meat on a chicken, dont go here. The appetizer parpadelle sounded nice and looked nice but it was obvious it was sitting outside. Texture wasnt good at all. It was cold on some pieces and was just reheated from the microwave or whatever. Then the chicken curry was just a nono... So its a good deal for the amount of money, but not a good meal.
