This was the first dinner meal my mom and I had in Madrid and let's just say it completely exceeded…read moremy expectations. When we walked in we were welcomed by such warm service! I truly have to highlight Pepe, Franco, and Grace for taking the time to speak to us and get to know us. The food was FANTASTIC. We ordered the seafood paella, jamon iberico, garlic shrimp, and sangria. The paella was filled with a ton of flavor which was DELICIOUS. Everything was fantastic, but the Sangria was spectacular, (probably one of the best sangrias I've ever had). At the end of our meal, Pepe brought us two liquor de Limon shots, which made our whole night!! Definitely recommend this place in the La Latina neighborhood. You won't regret it!

El Sur is a charming little spot in Madrid, tucked right into the wall of a narrow street. The…read morespace is very small and they manage to fit a surprising number of people inside, so you immediately notice how tight the squeeze is. It has that classic bustling tapas bar energy where everyone is close enough to feel like part of one big conversation. The food was the highlight. The clams were flavorful and fresh, the octopus was cooked beautifully and the paella was delicious. It is a great place to stop in for a drink and a quick bite, especially if you want something authentic and lively. When we visited, it was packed to the point where you were shoulder to shoulder with other guests and close enough to easily hear the party next to you. It adds to the charm if you enjoy that classic crowded European dining atmosphere, but it is something to keep in mind if you prefer more space.

Our waiter was quite helpful and…read morefriendly and made us feel welcomed Started off with drinks - margarita & Bloody Mary which were both decent. I personally preferred the margarita over the Bloody Mary as it tasted overwhelmingly of tomato juice (and little of anything else) Food - La bomba is meat (beef, pork) filled potato and it was yummy, probably my fave of all the tapas we tried. Chicken dumplings had a nice crisp and nice sauce but taste was just OK. Tacos were quite good! Nice flavor and creative presentation with the sauce in the pipette for you to pour. Lastly was the salad made of fresh arugula, beets, tomatoes, peppers - a great end to the "meal" and ironically was the warmest thing we got. Other tapas served lukewarm.

After 3 days of tapas we needed some Asian food.

The lady working there kindly let us sit anyways saying we have an hour before the reservations will come in. That was enough time for us to satisfy our cravings. I ordered the pad Thai with prawns and my boyfriend ordered the Indonesian fried rice with the fried egg on top. Both were tasty and a tad too sweet for my liking. The pad Thai is pretty authentic and it came with additional items to give it more flavor such as raw bean sprouts and onions. I really enjoyed the noodles and the fried rice was delicious. Highly recommend coming here for an Asian fix and to also make a reservation. The menu items were quite interesting and would come back to try other items if I had more time. But I'm glad we got to stop by during our short stay in Madrid. Also the price is very reasonable about 9 euros per meal.

Unfortunately the Gayagum, in the center of Madrid was a little disappointing. The squid was clearly frozen before it went into the broth.

When you're craving a warm bowl of pho on a cloudy, rainy day in Madrid this is the place to go(and…read moreeven noncloudy cold days)! From the moment you walk in you're greeted by the owner and promptly seated. The menu isn't extensive but all you really need is a warm bowl of this pho to fill your belly. Now the pho. Compared to San Francisco pho this pho is equally as good. Portion sizes are great, especially if you've spent all day walking around. The noodles are actually imported from France so you don't get those nasty noodles that you may have encountered if you've had pho at some other places. The beef is tender, the broth is filling and the spicy sauce makes your mouth water(if you like spicy, which I do!). This place is relatively new and the prices are reasonable for Madrid. At 8€ a bowl it's definitely worth your money if you're craving some authentic pho. I would definitely recommend this place. P.S. the bowl of pho also comes with meatballs but I prefer just the beef. Enjoy!

The restaurant is cozy and atmosphere better than what you find at stuffy Chinese restaurants around the area. With a quick glance at the menu, we realized the set menu for the night would be the way to go. For only a few Euro more than a normal main course, you get a first plate, dessert and drink. Was I overly full afterwards? Surely. But was it worth it? Definitely. Not only was the Pad Thai plentiful, it was spicy (upon request), which is always a plus in my book. While I was full after this first plate, next came the Vegetarian Curry which was also delicious. Service was nice and it wasn't too expensive at all. I'm glad they deliver so close to my home because my search for acceptable Thai food ends here!

The food had a lot of flavor which was a nice switch from typical bland Spanish food. Comment- I do think it's just a little pricy for the quantity you get. If it was 10€ I would be here more often.

I guess it's hit or miss. Sangria was good. We got the pitcher for the table. Cold dishes- Cucumber | pepino €7.50 - The flavor was ok, but the cucumbers were too soggy for my preference. This was the worst dish of the night for us :( I really was hoping for something refreshing to kick the spiciness of everything else. Banban chicken | pollo €8,90 - This dish was ok to me. The flavor was mid, very oily. The knife technique here was impressive. Duck | pato yuxiang €13,90 - This dish was very good, very fragrant. The duck was crisped and cut so well. Fish | olla pez €29,50 - The fish was good. It came with lotus root, bean sprouts, a few cauliflower, and a shit ton of potato slices. The cucumber slices in there were so soggy, which I did not like. Wontons in chili oil | wantan picante €9,90 - The wontons were not good!! The chili oil sauce was ok, but the wontons were such a disappointment. The skin was too slimy, and there was no flavor inside the wonton. Beef noodle soup | sopa ternera €12,90 - We asked for very spicy and we got it. As soon as I inhaled, I choked. The noodles were very soft. The beef was meh. They added some pickled veggies Rice was €2,20 per person. Credit card accepted.
