    Where should I start. It is a great experience. They are so friendly that you think you are having…read moredinner at your grand ma. The quality of food is so good. If you are looking for fancy, this is not your match- if you are looking for an experience, then it is definitely the place to go.

    It was late one evening during my trip to Spain and I was tired. Tired from walking around all day…read moreand very tired of seeing all the same tapas at every single restaurant I went to. That's when I enlisted the help of this nifty website called Yelp and looked for the best places to eat in Madrid. After perusing the list of the top spots for a while, Casa Federica stood out to me because of its unique menu offerings. I wanted something different, and here this place was, waving its hands in the air, saying: "Bring me, your tired, your tapas frustration!" So I headed over and boy, was I pleased. My sister and I sat inside this cute little place and were helped by one of the friendliest guys who didn't mind explaining the menu to us or making suggestions on what to eat. We started with the spinach buñuelos and ordered the chicken with a gravy sauce as well as a pumpkin and cheese empanada. The buñuelos were honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten. They were very lightly fried but the spinach mix was amazing and so unique that it's hard to describe it. They didn't taste like gross spinach, but they were delicious and soft. The empanada was also a hit. Even though the menu says "pumpkin and cheese," the empanada was more pumpkin than cheese which was nice because I really love pumpkin. The bread wasn't too doughy and it was a good size to split between me and my sister. The chicken dish, which we ordered as our main meal, was amazing. Now, Spain is full of jamón so finding chicken anywhere is a daunting task, and finding chicken that's actually good is even more difficult. However, the chicken at Casa Federica was amazing. The gravy-like sauce on top of it was perfect and not too salty but just savory enough to satisfy. The combination of friendly service, ambiance and food gives this place five stars. It was a welcome reprieve from the standard Spanish fare and an experience I enjoyed a lot.

    We came here for steak and they did not disappoint! Our food was delicious and the wine options…read morewere excellent to add. They had friendly service as well. The free bread was quite good which often lets you know early that you're in for a good meal, and this was certainly true here. The steak was cooked perfectly and the frites were an excellent companion. The location was convenient to where we were spending the evening on the main plaza and after dinner there were a lot of options for gelato or shopping right around us.

    I wanted to like this place, and maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but the steak I received was…read morepretty bad. Everything else was fine. There is a set menu for EUR 12 which includes some skirt steak and some other items and is basically a complete meal for an excellent price. Not high quality, but good value. That is what most reviewers seem to have ordered and been happy with. I foolishly ordered their most expensive steak (black angus "top Argentinian", which I assume to be sirloin but seems like ribeye).). Asked for medium rare. Also got a chorizo (good) and some iberico ham (good, but this is Spain...). My steak www two pieces, and basically different thicknesses, which is a bad sign. The smaller piece was cooked medium to a bit more, and was thin. Was fine, not amazing. The larger piece was a perfect combination of cold, basically rare~, and horribly trimmed with silverskin throughout. I was tempted to ask for it to be cooked more but once I realized how bad a cut it was I didn't bother. I ate about half of it and paid and left, If you go, just get the menu. Don't bother with anything higher end.
