They have their service down to a science as I found myself seated relatively easily. Ordered a ton of food as half orders thinking it was going to be a small meal but their half portions were still huge and meant for sharing! The tortilla con cebolla is a must unless you don't like gooey omelettes though I suggest you give it a shot. The torreznos here were great as well and no one turned me down as I started offering them to tables next to me as I underestimated the portion sizes. Again, these are all half portions!! Crazy delicious meal at a lively spot for a very reasonable price

We got some light stuff to share: - Tortilla (1/4 size or pincho) was enough for 2 of us to share. It was nice and runny - Croqutas: smooth, freshly fried - Salmonrejo: like a creamier gazpacho Stuff came pretty quickly, so turnover is fairly fast at the tables. It's worth getting in line for this place!

Unfortunately, the Vegan Chaulafan (fried rice) was very oily and had ZERO flavor. It did come with fresh vegetables, so when I got it home I added garlic, lime juice and some crushed chili peppers in it and THEN it was delicious. The woman who took my order was very sweet and kind. I will visit this place again, because, as I stated, one dish was absolutely delicious. I'd like to try other dishes, too!

We don't speak Spanish and we could hardly understand what our waiter was saying to us, so we just said 'bring us what you recommend.' We ended up with a South American polenta shepherds pie ... a rare and surprising treat that I wish I could describe well enough to replicate. Meaty, spicy, homemade, and with a touch of sweet on top ... delicious. Then we had the ever popular fried spinach cheese balls. Some people craved them, others panned them. They were a total surprise for us, and delicious!!! Thanks to yelpers for the find ... we may try to come back again on this trip to Spain.

After spending several hours at the Reina Sofia, Jamie W and I were feeling quite peckish and…read morerather indecisive about where to have lunch. We guessed many options around the Prado area might be tourist traps. Fortunately, this didn't appear to be one of them as it's a taberna that attracts local regulars as well as tourists like us. The manager/owner looked to know quite a few customers. It was pretty busy, so we were seated at a hi-top table in the bar area next to other non-Spanish, English-speaking customers. There were many small-to-medium tapa plates to consider in their menu. We weren't looking to stuff ourselves, so we ordered the 6,9€ half-order of Chiporones à la Plancha, which was grilled baby squids nestled on a mixed salad drizzled with balsamic (Photo 10). Our second dish was the 6,1€ half-order of Parrillada Verdu. It was a simple but satisfying grilled vegetable platter of sliced tomato,, onion, and root veggies (Photo 9). The last dish we ordered was an unexpected taste of home, the 9,9€ Ensalada Cesar. The reason for the higher price point was the addition of chicken and bacon to the lettuce, tomato, cheese, croutons, and Caesar dressing (Photo 8). The combination was pretty hearty and familiar-tasting. Even though we probably ate enough for a mid-afternoon meal, I couldn't help but inquire about the availability of grilled octopus (pulpo) because we saw it look quite tempting on a neighboring table. It was just as well that they were out because we didn't have room in our bellies for that. Our tapas selection was just fine all on its own. FOOD - 4 stars...skilled execution of familiar tapas, pretty tasty AMBIANCE - 4 stars...compact but cozy taberna, crowds quickly at lunch SERVICE - 3.5 stars..,efficient though a tad brusque because it was busy TOTAL - 4 stars...a serious dining option close to the museums RELATED - Exploring Madrid?

Everyone needs to come here. Especially New Yorkers who know their Spanish food well. This place is…read morelocated in the main touristy area of Madrid and HIGHLY worth it. Do not pass this place. The line outside is long for a reason. It's because they have patacons, arepas (arepera depending where you are from) tostones, rice beans, avocados, tequenos (called cheese fingers), and flooded with flavor. I had the patacon mixtos which get you three patacons of different varieties. This was so popular in NYC as it holds a lot of Puerto Ricans & Dominicans. I was sooooo happy to see it here I went wild. The only difference is that the sauce is right on top of the tostone and you don't eat it like a sandwich it's with utensils. Still same concept and flavor and of course I'll be back.

Located just outside of Puerta de Sol.

For a savory entree, I recommend the oxtail stew: 10 pieces of delectable oxtails in a brown gravy sauce. This tasted more like a beef pot roast, rather than a tomato style gravy. The oxtails are paired with thick cut fries.

By 10:00 it was completely full! All the tapas we ate were excellent. Highlights included Octopus with Potato Foam and the Tikki Masala Mussels. I usually skip mussels but these were smaller mussels and pretty tasty with an Indian-flavored broth. Our favorite was the caramelized Grilled Goat Cheese with honey vinaigrette and basil pesto. We were practically fighting to lick the plate. My Aged Entrecot was a bit fatty but tasted delicious and the fries were perfect. The grilled Salmon with Saffron Rissotto and cuttlefish ink emulsion was successful, as was the Trigueros Rissotto. The food execution was nicely paced, wine constantly flowed, and our server was the best. A great Spanish foodie finale for our trip! Gastromaquia is my #1 choice when I return to Madrid. We love Chueca barrio!

Upon arrival, we were immediately seated. There were a few tables near us with couples. Started with a bottle of red wine. Grilled Goat Cheese w/honey vinaigrette and bail pesto-Great starter. Tikka Masala Mussels-Very Good twist on mussels. We had an additional entree, but I couldn't eat another bite. BUT, that didn't stop me from the boozy add-ons... Pina colada sorbet-this was better than the mojito sorbet. Note, be prepared for the addition of Rum to your sorbet. Complimentary amaretto cream Server was attentive and the place remained quiet for a perfect date night.
