I had high hopes for this restaurant after seeing its traditional tapas menu, and I was excited to try some of the more unique options such as snails, tripe, and oxtail. While the variety was impressive, I was a bit let down by the temperature of the dishes — everything was served just warm, rather than hot, which took away from the overall enjoyment. The fried dishes were also a bit underwhelming. I tried the fried cod and squid, but both were coated in a thick batter that lacked flavour and felt too heavy. I was expecting something crispier and more delicate in taste. That said, the service was polite and the setting was pleasant. With some improvements in how the food is prepared and presented, this place could definitely stand out more. Worth a visit if you’re curious about traditional tapas, but I hope they refine a few things.

The food was good and plentiful. We had several tapas and ordered too much so I was able to have the rest of the tortilla for breakfast next day as they were kind enough to give me a takeaway box.

The snails and mussles were good. The snails were big but the source was a little bit salty. We also ordered Lamb Special. It was OK.

We enjoyed a lunch there. The crowd is local, the nice owner goes between the tables and chats with the customers. The Caracoles were surprisingly good. We can also recommend the ox tail and the blood sausage.

Much of the food is amazing, for that type of food -- that is, caracoles, zarajo, morcilla, etc; if you are not up for this type of food, this is not your place. But you will be hard place to find tastier caracoles (or anything) in Madrid. First time I order dessert here, maybe that was a mistake. We sat downstairs in the restaurant seating area, and the service was intermitent and failed to really properly clear and clean the table. But it was friendly and cheery, and as we came back up the bartender was as usual super friendly and interested in our opinions. I have been here many times and look forward to keep coming

After hearing good reviews, our expectations were high. So we went thinking it was going to be a great experience. It was highly disappointing in terms of the quality of the dishes, as well as the overall ambience. The dining room for seated dining is in the basement, in a very crowded area with zero atmosphere, that feels like you're in a basement. The tables jammed together way too close, not comfortable, etc. And then the food came... dishes we had read about that were great (the snails, the calimari) and they weren't good at all. The only good thing was our server was very nice and attentive, so nothing negative there. Not sure what all the hype on this place is, but we don't be going back. Too many other amazing restaurants in Madrid. Please do not share this feedback publicly... this is for The Fork to know yourselves.

I made reservation but when I get to there it was suppoppper packed so I couldn’t make to the seating area instead squeezed into bar and stand at bar to eat. The scargo is good, on salty side so I ate lots of bread which I normally don’t. The lamb tastes so good so I ordered twice. I also ordered the tripe it’s alright because it does has the smelly taste. The fried gamba( shrimp) comes as expected. Just so many people which I didn’t expected. Within 10 euro for half size tappas. Only downside is I only speak English and don’t speak Spanish so no waiters are attending me on the restaurant side so it’s a bit awkward. I have to make another way to go to the bar side and wave and jump to get attention to be served.
