As a bonus, they focus on creating food that is gluten free. For beer we had a lager by La Virgen. It was a good drinkable beer. For entrees we had grilled chicken with beetroot gnocchi and Roasted Eggplant with goat cheese pomegranate honey and peppermint. The food was very good and nicely prepared with mild natural flavors from the ingredients. Odds and ends. They have bathrooms. They make sure there are foot rests at all table heights which is a nice touch. Also, they have a larger eating area on the second floor. There are hundreds of places to eat around Madrid, but we found LA Tape to offer a unique take on food preparation that has it stand out compared to many that sell local traditional fare.

Having discovered the tremendous value that is possible in the menu del dia lunch the day before,…read morewe sought out another one for a post-museum lunch and struck paydirt again. This time, we dropped into Terra Mundi after several hours at the Prado, which is just a few blocks away. We strolled into an empty restaurant at 1:30 pm and thought that maybe this wasn't such a great choice after all. By the time we left a couple of hours later, the restaurant was packed and bustling, and justifiably so. (Almost needless to say, we never did adapt to the Spanish dining clock during a 10-day visit to the country.) Terra Mundi offers a permanent menu del dia with about ten mains, most of which clocked in at around 12 euro. (A couple of them were a one or two euro more.) There was also a daily menu, which we opted for: I went with the potaje with spinach and cod, which was rich, hearty, and bold, and a grilled loin of tuna (cooked a really nice medium rare), which came with a fresh green salad. A euro more got us a glass of wine each. The wife had a salmon tartare as her first course, which was a winner. (Her tuna was somewhat overcooked, though.) Our main server was delightful. We speak poor Spanish--or I should say "spoke," because the fleeting benefits of our pre-trip language cramming mean that our Spanish language skills have already faded into the range of "thoroughly inept"--and she spoke almost no English, but service couldn't have been better. At least not until the very end, when we just couldn't get our hands on a check for something like 45 minutes. A charming street-level space that tastefully balances the modern and traditional.

Due to its proximity to our hotel and the high reviews, my wife and I decided to have our inaugural…read moretapas experience, and honestly, it did not disappoint. In Spain, I still get confused about seating. "Is this place a seat-yourself place or a wait-to-be-seated place?" Sometimes it is hard to tell; therefore, to avoid an awkward encounter by making a command decision, I stand in one central place awkwardly blocking the waitress/waiter until they tell me what to do. Thank God for my wife, though, who makes the decision and just sits. Luckily, she was right. This is one of those just-sit-and-wait-for-the-waitress places. Now, before you order know that you are welcome to take a look inside at the food. Also, know that some items on the menu are not available at certain times of the day (I'm sorry but I'm still in the dark as to what those items are). Nevertheless, they have a great selection of tapas (midday snacks, translation curiosity of me). The great thing about this place is that there are zero tapas and drinks that breach the €6 mark. In fact, everything we got was under €3.75. Our most expensive item was the tortilla de patata, which was deliciously proportioned (a great ratio of runny to solid). Not only was the food and drink very cheap but it was also delicious. We tried a smorgasbord of tapas. I did not necessarily delight in all the tapas, some were just not my bag baby. However, others were definitely my bag (see pictures for details). In total, we got 6 tapas and five drinks and only paid €27. Overall, this is definitely a great spot for tapas. Whether you're out with your date or you're bringing the kids along for the ride, this little place off Calle de Serrano is perfect to break the seal on your first tapas experience. Enjoy!

The potatoes were what this place is famous for and they didn't disappoint. So, was the wait worth it? Absolutely.
