So our group had to divide and conquer. I especially appreciate (I think it's genius too) that Malvon bakes the name of the empanada directly into the dough so there's no confusion when you order a box of mix and match. They have combo meals where you can choose 2 empanadas and a drink. It may not sound like much but Malvon's filling is substantive so it's a sizable snack or medium size meal.

Reseña en ingles y español…read more Tinto y tapas was the perfect place to stop in for a mid-day snack (or lunch) after touring the museums all morning. We arrived when they opened at 1:00pm. Within 15 minutes all the tables were full. Our servers were nice and attentive. I was happy that there were multiple vegetarian tapas to choose from (which are hard to find in Madrid). We ordered a spinach and ricotta empanada, a sweet onion and cheese empanada, and a Margherita pizza. Everything was delicious. The pizza was excellent. We couldn't finish everything. We left full and happy. Tinto y tapas era el lugar perfecto para parar a tomar un tentempié (o almuerzo) al mediodía después de recorrer los museos toda la mañana. Llegamos cuando abrieron a la 13:00. En 15 minutos todas las mesas estaban llenas. Nuestros servidores fueron amables y atentos. Me alegró que hubiera varias tapas vegetarianas para elegir (que son difíciles de encontrar en Madrid). Pedimos una empanada de espinacas y ricotta, una empanada de cebolla dulce y queso y una pizza Margherita. Todo estuvo delicioso. La pizza era excelente. No pudimos terminar todo. Salimos llenos y felices.

So glad that we found it because the everything was amazing. A small coffee & dessert shop that's very unique with an urban but home-like feeling. The owner was there to open and speaks English so that really made it comfortable for us to select what to eat. She gave us her recommendations on what to try being that you couldn't visually see what was inside most of the pastry items and the menu was in Spanish. I assume that it isn't a dog friendly venue...one of the patrons sat their dog outside while they enjoyed coffee. Their selections of pastries are endless; From cakes, to donuts, tarts, quiches, meat pies, meat empanadas, etc. I'm sad that I didn't try any of the sweets, but I did order the smoked salmon & queso cream cheese sandwhich, along with their puff pastry of spinach (my favorite) & beef & chicken empanadas.

Lots of little places to choose from and the ability to try many different things in one place. The night we went it was crazy but no line was terribly long. The vendors definitely had how to handle crowds down. I stopped by the Albondigas (meatball) stand and the mozzarella stand and grabbed a limoncello spritz. Got a pistachio raspberry pastry on our way out as well. This spot was hustling and bustling for a reason, it was a great place to grab a bite and sit a second.

I truly have to highlight Pepe, Franco, and Grace for taking the time to speak to us and get to know us. The food was FANTASTIC. We ordered the seafood paella, jamon iberico, garlic shrimp, and sangria. The paella was filled with a ton of flavor which was DELICIOUS. Everything was fantastic, but the Sangria was spectacular, (probably one of the best sangrias I've ever had). At the end of our meal, Pepe brought us two liquor de Limon shots, which made our whole night!! Definitely recommend this place in the La Latina neighborhood. You won't regret it!

It has that classic bustling tapas bar energy where everyone is close enough to feel like part of one big conversation. The food was the highlight. The clams were flavorful and fresh, the octopus was cooked beautifully and the paella was delicious. It is a great place to stop in for a drink and a quick bite, especially if you want something authentic and lively. When we visited, it was packed to the point where you were shoulder to shoulder with other guests and close enough to easily hear the party next to you. It adds to the charm if you enjoy that classic crowded European dining atmosphere, but it is something to keep in mind if you prefer more space.
