So far the vibe is good and lots of people eating. Wait is about 10-15 min at almost 10pm and there are still people waiting to be seated. As you enter, you will see the bar area to the right with the kitchen beside it. The food was good as was expected and the service is also good! When in Barcelona, do visit them. Very fast and friendly!

Our host led us to the back after we were walking round and round it seemed. It felt clean inside and not cramped at all. Bathroom was nice. English menu available. It listed so many tapas. Prices look really affordable, but that's because the portion sizes are usually individual. This felt more like a snack to me, not a full meal. Food that stood out to me: -tinto de verano €3,30 - cup size was a lot bigger than I expected! -beef tenderloin montadito €7,15 - ended up getting more because this was so good -prawn skewer €5,40 - three prawns per skewer -cabreaos style eggs €6,95 - I didn't know, but it came with potatoes. This was eh. -crispy camembert skewer €3,40 - eh, it's interesting to try, but I wouldn't get this again. It was covered in jam and peanuts. They only serve the lobster rice after 19:00, so I'll have to come back for dinner on another visit! (also posted on Google)

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.

A small casa on Calle de Leon somewhat away from the Puerta del Sol. The street is filled with…read morelocals going about their day or transiting by foot towards city center so it is not heavily overrun by tour groups. Plus, this shopfront is small and not particularly descript so you might walk right by it if you were not searching for it. However, if you know better, you will find a reason to pause, duck in, and take a break! There are small tables within to eat there but there is only 1 at the shop front window alcove. If you time it right, you can grab this table and stuff your pie hole with local sausages, cured meats, and Spanish wine, beer or Vermouth while watching Madridian life pass you by. There may not be a better way to ruin what could have been an otherwise productive day! The menu is substantial but is largely made up of combinations of the various cured meats and cheeses that the shop is known for. Unlike spots that promote only Iberian ham and Manchego cheese, Casa González has all manner of meats and cheeses so it is a fantastic spot to go to for variety within this genre. I think that only strict vegans will be angered by what is on offer here. I recommend Casa Gonzalez for a meat and cheese orgy if you are in the area. They have been doing this since 1931 so you know that they have a winning formula.

This absolutely charming grocery/restaurant was walking distance from my hotel and includes a large selection of bottles of wine for purchase at the front, as well as cases filled with cheeses and jars filled with nuts (pignoli!). My simple tosta (toast) with tomato and the legendary jamon iberico (there simply is nothing better) was perfect. My glass of Moscato (and some mineral water) were lifesavers after a long afternoon of sightseeing. Even the small tray of olives provided were excellent.

We wasted no time and ordered their white vermut and red vermut and then tried their spanish wine.. their wine was great but their house vermut - undeniably the best I had in Madrid (trust me I had plenty).

We loved their house vermut so much that we ordered 2 bottles to take back home with us. Staff was friendly and loved the vibe of this bar. I will miss this place for sure! Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, I opted out of the experience, but from what I saw and heard, patrons were raving about this drink! Instead, I stuck to my vacation Spanish drink-- Sangria.

I ordered #20) the meatballs in tomato sauce (albóndigas caseras en salsa de tomate) and was SO disappointed -- they arrived cold and tasted pretty basic. There are definitely stronger contenders on the menu -- I just happened to choose the wrong one... If I could do it over, maybeee the 14) White Prawn Carpaccio or the 3) Smoked Cod on Toast
