Delicious food is great, but delicious food with a purpose is better. Loved learning about El Social's commitment to Sustainability and the Circular Economy! Definitely recommend checking out this spot in Chueca.

The food was okay , but nothing special. You can find better quality with the same price. The owner and stuff were great though! I still recommend you the place :)

What a wonderful surprise. The ambience, the food, the service, and not disregarding the concept behind the restaurant towards a more sustainable world. Super interesting. Great to recharge the batteries after the ordinary Madrid vibes, full of energy and joy. Congrats

We had a lovely dinner last night. The staff and, we believe, the owner were very friendly and helpful. We had the sticky ribs and chicken with coconut rice for dinner and an amazing Indian egg roll for an appetizer. Hughly recommend!

This little restaurant was a fabulous find!!! Very quiet, wonderful service and really fabulous food! We ordered several starters to split, all were excellent and then shared two main entrees per the suggestion of our waiter. We had excellent recommendations on choices and very honestly will recommend this spot to others. It’s an unknown gem! Thanks for a lovely evening El Social!

A very pleasant experience overall. The food was very tasty, the arancinis were just incredible. Waiters were very professional, kind and efficient. We expected the premises to be in better condition, given the average price. The place could do with a little refurbishment. Particular attention should also be paid to the cleanliness of the toilets, which were not great when we came.

Nice ambience and good vibe. The service was good. The appetizers guacamole and Satay chicken were delicious. The main course entrees were just mediocre. The chicken & salmon dishes were served cold and had to be reheated. We were a bit disappointed as the reviews were much better than our experience!
