    Okay, we have had some incredible meals and been treated to some great dinner experiences but this was not one. We realized that they would charge us a cover charge for bread and tapenade and we refused to take it. Soon, they told us that we could have it for free. In the end, we were charged for it. We felt rushed and not really wanted.

    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!

    Not bad. The food was a little blend to my taste but no salt or pepper on the table. Service was good.

    Wonderful food, lighting needs to be lowered and deco could use a refresh.

    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.
