Great for Spanish ham and cheese. Ham is cut for you , very thinly sliced. Seating. Have wine or beverage. Quick friendly service.
We were going towards a different establishment when we noticed this fun little spot. They have several items you can buy and take. Or others that you can order and eat at a table with light table service. I believe I reviewed a similar spot yesterday at five stars. This place deserves more, but all I can give is five. The prices are moderate, but it's very high quality. The Jamon Iberico Plata is included in the main platter they offer for 29 euros. I mention that one because it's the best. There are several other meats and a sheep cheese included. There is bread and olive oil. And of course a nice bottle of red. It's a very good value for the area.
Friendly and informative I recently learned about Iberian ham from my wife. On our list of things to do while visiting Madrid was to try Iberian ham, something that is quite expensive in the US, if you can even find it. We were able to do just that today by stopping into Mercado Jamon Iberico. We learned there were different types and different prices. Our decision was to try the best, and the staff shaved a plate of ham for us while we watched. They have a few tables so we were able to sit and sample this amazing meat. Great flavor. We thank the staff for helping us understand what we were having. While too expensive for us to have on a regular basis, we were grateful for the opportunity to try it on our visit to Madrid.
The staff here is awesome!! Super hospitable, welcoming, and very knowledgeable with their jamon. They gave my wife and I the best experience we could have asked for! The jamon iberica bellato is what we had, it was paired with cheese and wine and was delicious! If we lived in Madrid we would definitely visit just about daily! Thank you for the amazing experience!
Facebook is a wonderful thing when it brings up your favorite moments during travels. I had the pleasure of visiting this shop during an AMAZING Madrid Food Tour with Devour Tours. I am a carnivore and I was in Heaven when we entered this merchant. It took ALL of my restraint not to eat the jamón that was placed in front of the tour goers. I purchased several packages and was thrilled because they were able to keep several days. I don't quite remember what the prices were, but I can say I really didn't care ha ha. Stop by this local shop in Madrid because Heaven is a room full of jamón.
Outside of the Mercado de San Miguel is the is a little shop that sells everything Iberico ham. Different feeds different prices. The man was slicing pieces of these ham and prepare them in a way so that it can be vacuum packaged. The proprietor seems very knowledgable and friendly. I don't believe this is not a tourist location, but it seems to be tucked away from the most certainly a touristy trap aka Mercado de San Miguel. The store pays homage to that very special pig, and depending how the pig dies and what the pig eats, it's all different grades. The acorn pig is the best, the acorn pig with other nuts and fruits is the second to the best, so on and so forth. I bought a package, of course. For top dollars, I'm certain, but still, it's worth it.
3 words: life changing ham. This was part of the food tour I was on and our tour guide was speaking highly of this place and the type of ham that they have. She called the iberico ham the Louis Vuitton of ham. At first, I was a little worried because I thought she hyped it up too Mich and that I wouldn't like the ham that much. But I was so wrong. Once I put that ham in my mouth, it was life changing. It is full of flavors and it's actually healthy for you (say what?). It supposedly raise your good cholesterol and lower the bad ones. The weird part was that after eating it, I wanted to pair it with something but didn't know what because I didn't want anything to suppress bthe flavor of the ham. The staffing was also nice as they gave us some useful info on the ham and how it is made. Overall, really good place to try really good ham.
An excellent neighborhood butcher shop selling various jamon iberico meats and cheese. The brothers behind the counter are very nice and accommodate non-Spanish speakers. We were offered fresh jamon bellota diamanté and various cheese to sample. Their diamanté was outstanding - smooth and not salty. We bought several packs to eat for the rest of our trip as jamon is not allowed to be brought into the USA.
Came here for a tapas tasting after a tour. Our tasting included 4 meats, a cheese, some bread and a glass of wine. I am not a pork eater, but this was excellent. I only didn't really care for the jamon, but it wasn't bad. All the others were so good. Service was great and employees were helpful. I would recommend stopping by! read more

This was an amazing stop. Found this on Trip advisor and stopped by. The staff are so friendly and explained to us about the quality and cut off the ham. They answered all our freshly dumb questions and even showed us the drying room downstairs which used to be an old bunker during the war. There are passages that lead all over town! (Blocked off now) Then the staff introduced us someone who works for the curing process, he was just there eating jamón and talking shop! He showed us pictures in his phone off the farm, the pigs, the curing rooms, and talked to us about breeding pigs! This is the real deal! Come here! read more
