Need a quick fix of the good ole' USA??…read more Mad Cafe is the only medicine you need. American classics croon over the loud speakers as you read a menu full of burgers, chicken sandwiches, (real) salads, milkshakes, root beer floats, craft beer, etc. Yeah, you're welcome. The space is cute and intimate and the kitchen re-opens for dinner at 8:30pm.

Intentionally went to Carmencita Bar but because we didn't place a reservation and they were busy,…read morethey sent us to La Gringa a few steps down the street. Same food. Same menu. I thought that was nice since we were able to still enjoy their food despite us not having a reservation at Carmencita. The salmon egg Benedict was okay. The bread was really crunchy and it made cutting through it a little difficult. Salmon was a little salty. The egg and the Hollandaise sauce was cooked perfect. Hash browns has a little onion taste to it. The French toast was overwhelming for me since there was so much syrup and cinnamon topped on there. The eggs was scrambled nicely. Bacon was delicious. Coffee was good, according to the boyfriend. Mimosa was good! (Get that if you go) The staff was good. I would come back.

YUM YUM YUM if you…read moreare living in Madrid or anywhere outside the United States and you miss your typical American Brunch or if you have never been to the United States and want to know what is the typical American Brunch you are all in luck! La Gringa was a delicious all American breakfast and brunch spot with the best in the City. Their eggs benedict are out of this world. Oh and when I was missing the typical breakfast potatoes or tater tots, I will go to this magnificent establishment to devour some. Not only that, after living in Madrid for over a year, I had forgotten what amazing customer service and friendly attendance at the table was. The service here is also excellent. I do recommend la gringa and will likely visit again when I come back to Madrid.

This is a wonderful place to go and grab a coffee and have a good time. This is based off the…read morepopular hangout coffee shop from television show Friends. While it obviously has a small difference in the name Central Perks from the television show (Central Perk to avoid copyright laws --I'm guessing) the interior is still relatively well done and has a nice homely and welcoming feeling. Since it is open late Central Perks also serves as a nice alternative to going out to a bar, especially with kids or people who don't feel like drinking. They have everything from Pancakes, to muffins, bagels, milkshakes and a wide assortment of different styles and types of coffee. As an added bonus they accept cards, and if you ask them, the staff will play a disk of Friends episodes for you while you sip coffee!

When you first walk into this restaurant, you see a very cute, cozy space with a small bar and some…read moreunique/indie decorations throughout. My girlfriend and I had already decided to do the brunch for 14€ and were promptly seated. The brunch begins with either coffee/tea and a orange juice or you can add mimosas or other alcoholic options for an extra charge. I thought the freshly squeezed orange juice was one of the best parts of the meal! I went for a pancake with PB&J for the first course and my girlfriend got a fruit bowl. I thought the pancake was very filling, but the peanut butter tasted like it was from a jar of Jiffy. Next we both decided to get the breakfast burrito for the second course. Again, I thought the food was very filling, and I'm sure it's hard to come by a breakfast burrito in Madrid, but it just didn't wow me. Overall, I think the portions and amount of food you get for 14€ is very good, especially that orange juice! As far as the taste, it is good, but not great. This restaurant is definitely filling a small niche in Madrid and has some hard to come by "American" food, so if you're craving that, this could be your place.

Haven't really eaten anything in the past 4 days so I was looking for somewhere to eat to satisfy…read moremy hunger. Came across this place on Yelp and saw it had good reviews so I wanted to check it out for myself. Just the sight of people's pictures of the burgers made me really hungry and it was practically the only thing on my mind all day. Decided to make it a night out, and reserved a table relatively late into the evening. Finding the place was more than alright. It's hardly hard to miss. In the middle of Spain something America styled sticks out like a saw thumb. As I don't speak much Spain, I was worried that communicating was going to be a little tough but turned out to be more than alright. There was a tone of options on the menu to choose from but had to stick with what I saw on the website which was Pulled Pork Burger, Chicken Stripes and Chips with bacon on. When the food came I was pretty overwhelmed if I'm honest. I got my money's worth. I thought I'd get three or four Chicken Stripes but turns out it was a basket. The burger was really big and chock full as well. It was really yummy and didn't even touch the sides. I couldn't manage it all so some of it had to be taken back in a bag which I'll eat at home. Overall, great service, great food, great music/atmosphere and a great night out. Well worth it!

Excellent, excellent cheeseburger and fries. Kid approved!…read more Jose, the owner, speaks very good English and paid meticulous attention to our order. The location was just down the street from our rented apartment and was a welcome change to the tapas crawl. Everyone was tired and worn out so we got the order to go. Not any problem.

My mom and I found this gem on TripAdvisor and decided to give it a try, and wow, we are so glad we…read moredid! From the moment we walked in, the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was vibrant, lively, and fun. I ordered the sangria, which was honestly the best I had in Madrid, while my mom enjoyed a lovely glass of wine. We started with the padrón peppers, burrata with tomato salsa, and patatas bravas -- every single dish was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. For the main course, we had the beef with chimichurri and butter, and OMG... it was phenomenal. Everything was cooked perfectly, and all the flavors complemented each other so well. To finish the night, we shared the chocolate dessert and the "Love Chueca" cocktail, which was incredible and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. Amazing food, fantastic drinks, wonderful staff, and such a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Madrid!

As foreigners, we arrived earlier than the locals which worked out well. By the time we finished there was a crowd waiting outside.

We felt like this was someplace special and were happy to have experience it.

You'll order your burger from a sheet with tickboxes where you choose the type of protein, the toppings, bun and sides. Or have a bowl. Turn in the sheet at the counter and wait for your burger to be prepared to order. Very simple. I opted for the Galician Beef with "Manchego" and a side of the "Bacoa french fries". Nothing complicated and it turned out great. I even managed a San Miguel while I waited for it to be prepared. Very good burger, though done to a rare rather than medium. I lived to tell the tale and ate the entire thing. Yum! It's not fancy but it's reasonably priced (€6.70 for the burger and €2.50 for the fries). Plenty of seating including tables and a narrow counter area next to the kitchen.
