Central Mexicana - Queso

Let me set the scene to provide context. It was around 1930, the place was open but not a diner in…read moresight (because the Spanish do not eat dinner until at least 2000). The atmosphere is that of a Mexican cantina, dim lit and rustic. We sat in the inclosed patio warmed by the heat of the glow lamps. Our waitress was extremely friendly, welcoming, and spoke great English. She aided us through the menu and provided us with her personal preferences on the menu items. Needless to say, we had great service all night. She brought us chips and salsa then took our order; afterward, the feast began. We ordered a ton of food. Some food was better than others but none was bad or gross. Here's our smorgasbord: - Strawberry margarita (delicious and perfectly balanced) - Queso dip (at first we didn't know how to approach this because they didn't provide us chips, only six tortillas. However, we got the hang of it; very tasty) - Cheese quesadilla (my son got two of these. They are what you expect in taste, simple, but small in size) - Cheesecake (this was the best part, very delicious and sweet) - Carnitas (small but good with a slight twang) - Enchiladas de mole (not my favorite. The mole was too much chocolate and not enough red chili flavor) - Enchiladas gratin (this was a good dish) - Tres leche (too much cinnamon and too wet for my taste) - Plus three coke zeros. This all cost us €89. Overall, the restaurant was good in flavor, atmosphere and service. It's a great place for drinks and a hangout. Make a reservation to ensure you can take your time and enjoy.

Great tacos but there were some downsides. I ordered medallones de solomillo de ternera and it was…read moreunderwhelming at best. There was one medallion that was about 1/4" thick and another that was about 1/8" thick. It was tasty but not worth 16€. The experience overall was horrible due to an extremely loud group next to us. They were shouting to each other and thus we couldn't even hear the person next to us. The service was good so the experience was average at best. This was a one time experience for me.

Finding authentic Mexican food in Madrid is possible thanks to José Manuel Agis Saca, chef and…read moreowner of Taco & Burro Maya, the newest place in the city's taco scene. Everything is made from scratch by José, which means each tortilla is crafted with care and technique. I stopped by Taco & Burro Maya for lunch one afternoon, as the relaxed, no-frills atmosphere is exactly what I wanted to enjoy a solo dining experience. The restaurant design is vibrant and colorful, and the laid-back minimalist approach allows diners to focus on the food and flavors. The restaurant has an open terrace with cool metal bistro tables, and an interior dining area features rectangular tables and bench seating. I started with crispy artisan tortilla chips topped with freshly made guacamole. The cool, creamy guacamole was perfectly seasoned with red onion and cilantro. I accompanied it with a glass of Michelada, a traditional Mexican drink made with beer, lime juice, and peppers. I love the way the salt on the rim brings out the spices in the drink. Cool and refreshing, the drink was delicious. Taco & Burro Maya has so many delicious tacos, that it's hard to choose. I settled on Chicken Tinga taco, with tender chicken breast in chipotle sauce, wrapped in a soft shell, along with Cochinita Maya taco, the same soft shell filled with juicy leg of pork macerated in achiote sauce with purple onion. I didn't expect to enjoy such delicious Mexican cuisine in Madrid, but thankfully José has brought Mexico City to Spain. Taco & Burro Maya is excellent all around, from the casual environment in the old brick building on Paseo de Santa Maria de la Cabeza to the great service. I can't wait to go back.

I am always looking for good Mexican food wherever I travel and I travel a lot. In Prague it's Las…read moreAdelitas. In Madrid, it's Taco & Burro Maya! Excellent food! Small but good things come in small packages. I wish them continued success.
