El Sur is a charming little spot in Madrid, tucked right into the wall of a narrow street. The…read morespace is very small and they manage to fit a surprising number of people inside, so you immediately notice how tight the squeeze is. It has that classic bustling tapas bar energy where everyone is close enough to feel like part of one big conversation. The food was the highlight. The clams were flavorful and fresh, the octopus was cooked beautifully and the paella was delicious. It is a great place to stop in for a drink and a quick bite, especially if you want something authentic and lively. When we visited, it was packed to the point where you were shoulder to shoulder with other guests and close enough to easily hear the party next to you. It adds to the charm if you enjoy that classic crowded European dining atmosphere, but it is something to keep in mind if you prefer more space.

I've been visiting Malaespina for over a decade -- from my time living in Madrid to every trip back…read more-- and one thing has never changed: it's easily one of the best spots in Madrid for a no-frills, delicious tapas meal and amazing sangria. The quality of the food has remained consistent for the 10 years I've been visiting! Tucked away just off Sol, Malaespina is the epitome of a classic Madrid taverna. The inviting, unpretentious atmosphere, the cozy charm, the prices, the energy -- it's hard to capture it all in words. There's a certain magic at Malaespina. The tavern has been around for hundreds of years, and I often wonder what it was like a century ago. I'm always amazed that such a gem exists in the heart of Madrid, a city center filled with tourist traps. Malaespina draws both locals and tourists -- and for good reason. The food quality to price ratio is unbeatable. On our most recent visit, we had huevos estrellados, tortilla tapas, sangria, and espressos, and spent about $20 for the two of us. You really can't beat that! Here's hoping they stick around for many more years to come.

Came here for lunch and had a decent experience. Staff were super friendly and restaurant was nice…read more We sat outside and ate our meal and it was quite pleasant. When we first sat down they gave us a welcome bruschetta and bread for free which were pretty decent portions. We then ordered our food and it was pretty good as well. We ordered their half chicken (pollo asado con patatas), sirloin steak, and Malaspina tosta. The portions were huge and we definitely over ordered. We thought they were more the size of tapas but each dish was a huge portion itself which definitely isn't a bad thing. The food tasted pretty good but I think it just lacked flavor occasionally. All the meat was cooked well and was very juicy, just could use a little more flavor. Otherwise everything was good. Solid 4 stars

We got: - alcachofas (artichokes) - pintxo de champiñón (mushroom and shrimp pincho) - Calamares - Pintxo de foie - gyozas de rabo (oxtail gyoza) - mini beef hamburgers Everything had amazing flavor and the sauces that complimented each dish had me drooling. The foie was so buttery and had no funk. The portions were also very generous! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive as well, giving us a large downstairs table where he put music on and turned on heaters for our comfort. Great spot.

Also how does the gentleman behind the counter remember all the orders? I ordered vermouth, cana, half a sandwich, ham coquettes. When the half sandwich came, we thought he made a mistake and gave us a whole. But we were wrong, as we observed the ma making sandwich she cuts a small corner of the bread to indicate half. Brilliant. The cheese that they use to make the food is so deliciously hearty. The croquettes were sooo good, crispy on outside; gooey cheesy and hammy in the inside. Amazing. The bill was so cheap!

This is a unique place. They have a short menu with basically croquetas, thick ham with melted…read moretetilla cheese and pimientos de padrón. Everything is delicious, in a pre-healthy-food-age way. The croquetas are their signature attractor. Their bechamel is liquid, and this makes it totally irresistible. People queue for half an hour to order their croquetas. It is a fun and tribal activity. If you are in Lavapies, don't miss this.

Wow! Just amazing! This spot inside Mercado de San Fernando was recomnended by a colleague on…read moreFacebook and it did not disappoint! The food and service was just amazing! I was unsure what to order because I wasn't very hungery, but as soon as I saw the sangria de sidra for 2.50 I knew what I wanted. To eat I decided on the pincho de tortilla. Everything went together sooo well! The pincho de torilla was cold, but paired so well with the cold and cool sangria! It was not too salty and full of flavor. The sangria de cidra was just amazing! I wanted to keep drinking it more and more! But, I slowed myself doen enough to finish my tortilla! I definitely will be back to bring friends and family here when they visit.
