    A must when visiting Madrid. A casual bar setting to enjoy a beer or cafe con leche and "bocadillo de Jamón" (cured ham sandwich) as called in Spain. There are several locations but this one is our family favorite. Soo much that it has become a tradition to visit on every trip. Impressive to see the deli where all the variety of cured hams are exhibited. Definitely recommend to visit in the mornings where lots of locals drop by for a quick cup of coffee or a pint of beer. Enjoy!!

    美味しい! 安い! 友達に教えてもらって2日連続でランチに行ってきました。 生ハムは種類が多くてちょうど真ん中の種類のやつにしましたが、イベリコ豚はとても美味しい。 パエリアも一人前があったのでそれを注文! 2日目はイベリコ豚のソテー?ステーキ?を! 柔らかくてでも歯応えあって、美味しかった。

    We were looking for a snack to bring with us on our flight to Porto and found this place scattered throughout the city. We decided to give it a chance. We didn't get any Jamon as we were looking for a snack to bring on a flight so this may not be a helpful review. We got a pasty filled with meat and it was okay. The pastry wasn't flaky enough and there wasn't enough filling. Service at the counter was really nice and friendly. The price was also really cheap for the amount of food we got. I would come and try other things to give this place a more well rounded review.

    Perfect stop to have some cañas and Iberia ham. Plus you can bye great hams. Good prices.

    Can you even say you went to Spain without eating jamon for breakfast? Do as the locals do right? But a couple euros for a breakfast meal is not bad at all. Pro tip: There is an upstairs eating area if you want more room.

    We were here 8 years ago and in our opinion, still a great option for amazing food at great prices. The ambience is always bustling and the service is great. Would recommend!

    Ham with fried eggs and fries

    Food is fairly decent and inexpensive although amount of ham given is very little, especially given that I ordered a chef recommended dish

    Bocadillo y cerveza

    Over priced. Over rated. Paid for two sandwiches (bocadillo con jamón) and two beers (cerveza) for almost $20.00. When my husband was trying to order in Spanish, the waiter waved us away. Very rude to foreigners. Think we got charged double what locals pay. It'd be rude of me to think they're hustling with foreigners. There's plenty of other shops along the streets for the same meat and sandwiches for less.

    A terrific spot on our food tour, note that there is a downstairs with a very small seating area. At 8pm on a weeknight, both the tour and I were surprised that there was no one else here when we arrived. A couple of beers, some sliced meats and then a big plate of iberico with sliced manchego. The meats and cheeses were very good, though machine sliced and not as perfectly thin as I might see elsewhere. Still delicious though. [Review 12524 overall, 2314 of 2019.]

    Jamón Iberico de Bellota

    Museo del Jamón is on our to do list in Madrid when we planned our travel but it was an unpleasant experience. It was not that crowded and busy but no waiters tried to clean up tables for next group. You would see people just moved all leftovers from other customers to another tables and it was really disgusting that there were some tables full with leftovers and non-cleaning dishes. We ended up eating by the bar. They served a huge variety of Jamón like a museum and it was difficult to make decisions since we were not professional with Jamon. We ordered the Jamón Iberico de Bellota which was recommended by the staff with highest price among all selection. It was decent but not outstandingly different from Jamón we tried in other place.

    Incredible sliced meats, cheeses and prosciutto. They serve the freshest tapas and awesome wines by the glass. The sights and smells are heavenly.

    Touristy little place, you can get decent jamones. I ordered some cheese and ham plates and coffee afterward. More like an in and out bar.

    Popular place!!! I've been here several times. Jamón Iberico is the best that's the sandwich I…read moreget. Saturday it was packed at 5:30. The sandwiches are good and quick. The locals hang out and drink beer and eat ham. I guess you would call that hamming it up. It's all about the ham and the ham is damn good. It can get load and hard to find a place to stand or sit. Usually this frenetic vibe throws me off, here I like it. Do when you walk by and see all that ham hanging out come on in and join the ham crew. You won't regret it. Jamon I should say instead of ham, but I'm a dumb American lol.

    Museo del Jamón feels like a must do when in Madrid ~ I mean it's the museum of ham! How can you…read morenot do it!? You'll see tons of meat hanging with a bunch of fun options, with seven locations currently throughout the city, but I honestly wouldn't go again. I would say service left something to be desired. They seemed a bit annoyed with us and not wanting to assist but whatever, the food was decent. I do think the unfriendliness of the staff though made the vibes a bit off here for my friend and I. We got a good deal of ham and drinks at about 6 Euros for the deal. But I swear, the standing at the counter with unfriendliness made this passable - but I wouldn't go back. They say they have the biggest selection of ham in town so that is a positive. Museo del Jamon is not just a restaurant but also a shop, so you can buy meats and fun things to go. Going through other Yelp reviews, it may seem there is a slowness and friendliness issue here quite consistently. It used to be a must do spot in Madrid but I would skip this now.

    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. The friendly staff are quick to move and serve and, although there's not much in the way of A/C here DO NOT miss out on the chance to enjoy simple, delicious food in the perfect setting on these Madrid streets.
