What an amazing find and a fun night in Madrid!…read more Tapas y Fotos is in an up and coming artist neighborhood in Madrid that is similar to what is happening on the LES in NYC. It is a small wonderfully decorated bar with pictures that the owner has taken over the years of various musicians. The menu, gotta love this! All dishes are prepared byMiguel Pérez Pardo, the owner, bartender, photographer and all around great guy! We met wonderful people at this restaurant/tapas bar especially a woman name Teresa who lives next door. She is an absolute angel and is a wonderful representation of the warmth of the Madrellanos. We had wonderful beer on tap, and several dishes: Carmelita peas, hortelano chicken, delicious salmorejo, papas and bacon quiche. You can order Tapa size or a full size portion. I recommend ful size on the chicken and the quiche is only one size. Our first night in Madrid and Tapas y Fotos provided a warm, fun, delicious evening off the usual touristy traps, I highly recommend you give it a try but remember to bring a Spanish/English dictionary as Miguel speaks no English.

I went here on my first night in Madrid. It was empty, but I did go relatively early for Madrid…read more(9pm). The food was great and I had great conversation with the owner. He does not speak English, but the menu was in English, as well.
