Jimbo's restaurant is picnic style seating, so it's not the place to go if you're a bit shy. The service staff is consistently nice and attentive. The ribs are sauced perfectly and tender fall off the bone. The mac and cheese is flavorful, you can tell good cheeses were used, the mashed potatoes were good but the gravy is a bit tasteless and the beans are hearty and tangy. They have a variety of sauces on the table to try, I'm a sucker for sauces! If you're in Madrid, GO!

A pleasant surprise was the cutest arrangement of mini macaroons and cookies that accompanied the coffee - perfect idea!!!

My friend and I visited this place for a little tapas and wine action after work one day. The food…read moreand wine were delicious. We enjoyed a plate of shaved jamon and a few pieces of toasted bread with a tomato and olive oil spread with a slightly below room temperature bottle of red wine that was as refreshing as it was intoxicating. All this together made for a great night. However, I haven't told you the best part yet. The atmosphere and interior aesthetics only add to the enjoyment of the meal. The white-washed stone, married with the secluded feel of dining in an old Spanish mission, transports you to a truly immersive experience. I would go back just for that feeling again. Overall, this was a pleasant time and an amazing tapas experience. I promise you'll enjoy it. Additionally, the wait staff understand English as well, which is great for a tourist like me. Enjoy.

Arguably the best burger in Madrid and potentially all of Europe (or even the world if you are…read morebold). Located in a food court in Mercado Chamberí this food stall is truly a temple of meat. The folks here bring a true passion for sourcing the best ingredients and preparing them a traditional way. Cooked over wood on a traditional parilla, they prepare a variety of high-end Spanish beef and pork dishes. Think Rubia Gallega steaks (prized beef) and interesting ibérico pork cuts. Heavenly! While the burger (made with Rubia Gallega beef) is incredible, don't sleep on the Pluma if you like pork. This may be the single best bite of an animal I have had in my life anywhere in the world (challenged only by some incredible sushi). Go here and be prepared for a religious experience! They have great wine too

On our last night in Madrid, my husband and I couldn't have Tapas or Pinchos anymore so we tried to…read moresearch for restaurants around our hotel and Juancho's BBQ was one of top rating recommendation both on google and TripAdvisor. We were there without much expectation but extremely impressed by their service and what they served. There was no menu in English but the staff explained to us in details. Actually if you don't understand Spanish like us, it would be kind of difficult to order in the food court. We tried the PLUMA and LA TRUFADA. The wait wasn't too bad about 20-25 minutes after we ordered and it was totally worth it. The PLUMA was well-cooked, soft inside and immediately melt in your month when you have it. The patty in LA TRUFADA was super juicy and great matched with brioche bun. The meals were also served with grilled potatoes which were amazingly creamy and tasty. My husband and I were so satisfied and decided to visit again for lunch before our flight back to New York. We highly recommend travelers to give them a chance to try their burger and BBQ.

I am reviewing the Steak Burger on Gran Via, which is so new it hasn't made it to yelp yet. I was…read morelured in by the decor, a cool mix of, chesterfields, Italian modern, and industrial. The initial service was good, I ordered the BBQ burger without cheese medium rare. Besides the Monterey Jack cheese that I skipped, it's supposed to have BBQ sauce, bacon, grilled onions, & lettuce. The burger was delivered medium well, the bacon was skimpy, and grilled onions were raw. I'm not sure if it was because of being overlooked, the burger was tasteless, the small amount of bacon, and BBQ sauce were lost, all the came through were the onions, which I removed, in an effort to taste the meat. It was a hot day in Madrid, so I ordered more water when the burger arrived, it arrived well after it was finished. As a former restaurant manager, I watched the three waiters leave the service counter empty handed five times while a waited. The service in Spain is very good, so this is not a cultural thing. In conclusion, Spanish beef is good, so don't be nervous about trying a Spanish burger joint, just not this one!

My friend recommended me to go to this restaurant so I did. This restaurant is my favorite…read morerestaurant in Madrid now! I was there on Friday after 2 pm. The place was packed no where to sit. I was lucky to get a seat. They have a great system with waiters and managers communication I noticed. Even the place is packed with people the waiters were working so hard to take care customers. I had a cold beer and came with olives and Aioi spread. It was so delicious. My beer tastes so refreshing with these tapas. I ordered clams and scallops. They are very fresh. I wanted to order more items but the waiters were concerned about how much I'm eating. They are very nice for taking care of me. I want to come back next time for their steaks and truffle potatoes with eggs. I wanted to order the pencil clams too but the restaurant didn't have it when I was there. Their menu was very impressive. So many things there. I didn't know what to order there. Anything you order there you won't be disappointed. The restaurant was packed by local people. They know the good place! I was very happy to dine there. Price is cheap too.

It's beyond hot here so I'd choose indoors during the summer months or come late at night. When we got there it was 2100 and it was busy! Luckily we were able to book a reservation online. We weren't initially greeted but I attribute that to the workers running up and down and in and out of the kitchen rushing to get orders out. But once we got seated our server was great. He has a pep in his step! We saw him running back and forth for our whole dinner. Was helpful when ever we had questions. Just a heads up they do charge for the bread an water they bring to the table. We didn't realize this until we got the check. I think maybe this should be made aware to the patrons who are eating there especially if it isn't customary to them. Now we had the pulpo which was delicious! Not super chewy and to me seasoned well. It could be in the salty side. I got the bistek (not sure I'm spelling it right) but it was great! Cooked just how I liked it. I love that the dishes are simple but made with flavor. My brother also got another meat plate (aged one) and he loved it as well. To end the night they gave us a shot of liqueur. Nice end to the night. Please come eat here! You won't regret it!
