The waitress was super sweet considering her English and my Spanish were fairly on par (muy pico), we managed to make it work. The restaurant was colorful (blue and yellow) and well decorated. I could see hanging out here with friends for the night. I was dining alone so I ate and left. I also went early for Madrid standards (happy it was open at 645) and there were other people (not Americans) eating which is always good. Definitely would recommend and would be happy to eat here if it were in the states!

While I found the Veggie burrito to be one of the best I've had, I thought that while the steak was well seasoned, it wasn't as tender or as brimming with "carbon" flavor as I would expect - but that might be more of an "in the Americas" sort of flavor profile for steak burritos. The guacamole was excellent, as was the queso. Will certainly be back to try more. Really a 4.49 star review - only because I think had we tried something other than the steak, this would be a 5.

The wrap around bar that boasted their drink specials. My friend and I were seated quickly and we flipped through their menu. We decided to share an order of their chelinda nachos that were chips topped with salsa, guacamole, jalapenos, and melted cheese. I got their chicken tinga tacos and my friend got their chicken quesadilla. Everything was delicious! The only thing that was missing from my tacos was some salsa, onions, and cilantro. The waiter was super busy, so I was unable to ask for this. However, the chicken was okay and had just a hint of spice. I think it could've had more spice for my taste. I think I preferred the quesadilla and nachos compared to the tacos. The nachos were filling and the guacamole was so yummy and fresh. It paired well with the sangria mexicana--which is sangria with some tequila. It was super big and refreshing! It was my birthday, so they turned up a song and got me a sombrero to wear. I had a fun time with this! I would come back for more nachos.

They probably prefer it that way because the quiet vibe appeared to be part of the ambiance they're seeking here. We just found it by chance on Google Maps as an alternative to the beef-heavy eateries in the neighborhood. We just felt a need to eat healthier. The menu was small and appetizing, and we treated ourselves to two 3,5€ glasses of Zafra Blanco, a crisp Spanish white wine that freshened our palates. We started our meal with a complimentary helping of a "creamy" beetroot dip accompanied by lightly crisped pita chips (Photo 7). Next came the 12€ Spinach and "Parmesan" Croquettes, six lightly fried, falafel-like spheres drizzled with cashew nut mayo (Photo 8). They provided the ideal bites. Jamie went for their signature 15€ Moroccan Bowl with corn couscous, beetroot falafel, sweet potato, spinach, cherries, pickled cucumber, tomato, and fresh dates drizzled with mint yogurt sauce (Photo 6). It was quite a cornucopia of flavors that meshed quite well together with the falafels the particular standout. I decided to go for the 8€ Brochette of "Chicken" with chunks of zucchini and onion and satay sauce over a bed of sweet potato noodles (Photo 9). I'm not sure what the "chicken" was, but the flavor and texture was surprisingly spot-on. At the same time, I'm glad I limited myself to one skewer because I wanted to save room for dessert and the 4€ bottle of sparkling Green Apple Cider (Photo 4). Jamie and I settled on the delightful 6,5€ Tiramisu Cake dusted with Cocoa and swirled with Toffee (Photo 10). We finished our meal with 2€ cups of Cortado with the right amount of warm, steamed milk (Photo 5).
