Great spot with great prices

This is a traditional Spanish restaurant, which specialty is “caracoles” or snails. I recommend is best to go with at least 4 people so you can try several dishes. Today we started with vermouth and 6 half rations (media ración): fried calamar, caracoles, chorizo, lacón, judías and fried cod. This accompanied by a bottle of a Ribera del Duero wine, followed by dessert (arroz con leche….the best) and coffee. Everything was excellent, although the caracoles, the chorizo and the arroz con leche he were my favorites. Can’t say enough about the great service provided by Ouima, but the entire staff was very helpful. This will probably be my spot to take visitor to enjoy a little of old Madrid.

This restaurant is from 1942 and I felt I was in a time warp. The food was excellent, the space was intimate and the service was top notch

Food was salty in our opinion, area where they put us was not clean at all as noticed by everyone around us as well. Waiter screams to communicate with other waiters and seemed confused about other people food orders. He forgot to take our order and we sat and waited a while till another lady waiter arrived to assist. Overall was very dissatisfied, not a good experience at all at this restaurant.

+3If you like Spanish classic food this restaurant is for you, bring back memories from my Mom’s cooking. We went back 3 times, I tried everything, wow what a great place/food!!

Apart from their house speciality snails, there are dishes like blood sausage, pork trotters, chickpea stew which were all delicious. We wish we known about this place earlier. Muchas gracias to the chefs and the service team for looking after us.

Snails and oxtails were amazing. also liked the lamb and gazpacho soup. Skip the cod. The Restaurant is in the basement so don't be dismayed when you only see bar seats upstairs

+1I 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.

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambience 10/10 cheap, delicious spanish food and there‘s usually a server who speaks english. Best olives ever served with food. We will definitely come here anytime we‘re in Madrid! Im 100% sure you‘re not going to regret coming here.

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.
8.5
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.

Amazing food and atmosphere - must do in Madrid
7.5
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.
