9.5/10I like this restaurant because the food is super good and the place as well. However, now they rose their prices and it is too expensive in my opinion so I wont come back except for a big occasion.

6.5/10Sadly has perhaps become a tourist trap or perhaps the demand has exceeded the capacity to deliver quality paella. Paella lacking socarrat, gritty uncleaned prawns and cold staff. Food was ready quickly and lovely authentic setting

7/10Famous restaurant for paella. Excellent service, reasonable prices. The sophisticated hall was very hot and stuffy, making us uncomfortable throughout the meal. The food was too salty. This was our second visit after more than five years. We had a much better experience the first time.

10/10La Barraca is one of my favorite restaurants in Madrid, especially when it comes to Paella dishes, but I haven't been back in over 10 years, so I decided to see if it was still at the top of my list. I ordered the Paella Marinera, which is one of their seafood Paellas. La Barraca is known for their Paella and rice dishes, so make sure you try one of those offerings. They used to specialize in short grain rice Paella, but mine came with a mixture of short and long grain rices. Still very good, but I feel like the short grain only rice was a little better quality overall. The seafood was of good quality and very tasty. Only one prawn was overcooked, but all other seafood was perfectly cooked, and the rice was al dente. They have a "new" rule where you can only order one Paella for a party of two, so the price they show is per person. I'm not sure when this rule came to be, but it may not be new. If you happen to be eating by yourself (as I was this night), you'll have way too much Paella with the minimum order. Basically, you're paying double the price of what you would in the past if you're alone. Their Paella used to be personal sized for one, so that was a let-down. The Rioja wine was perfectly paired with my meal, and the bread, garlic dip, and black olives were amazing. Even though I feel the food is more expensive at a slightly lower quality than what I've experienced in the past, I still feel the service and quality meet or exceed any Paella you can get in Madrid (minus my Mother-in-law's). Highly recommend.

5.5/10Pretty uninspiring food, good service, nondescript decor and ambiance. Mushroom and shrimp appetizer was pretty bad, few overcooked and mushy shrimp, seemed reheated in a microwave. . Tomatoes for tomato and ventresca salad were green. Paellas were ok, no where near the level the reviews would suggest. Good staff, kitchen needs some help.

9.5/10La Barraca is a great restaurant to experience authentic Paella from Spain....delicious. We ordered the seafood mix paella dish that featured already peeled/de-shelled seafood, which was amazing! Don't over-order starters, maybe just share a salad and get ready for the main course!

9/10Really delic food, authentic Spanish paella. Very nice atmosphere. Service could be better, but most likely because our waitress was not good at English since she did not answer our questions…

9/10Do not get me wrong, the paella was good but not the best. The better ones we had eaten are in Barcelona - restaurant Salamanca and in Santander - in a restaurant called La Mulata . A must try !!!

10/10I would definitely recommend the restaurant. You can find there excellent food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. The place is famous for its Paella, and the taste of their Paella is worth every paid euro.

8.5/10Very good paella’s overall. We tried 2 different ones for 5 of us. Portion sizes are huge, so the 2 paella’s had a lot leftover. That would be my only criticism is they should recommend 1 paella order for 3-4 people otherwise so much goes wasted.
