“ It was delicious, home made food and good wine. We will definitely come back! ”
“ This place is great! A local friend’s recommendation and did not disappoint. Ordered a beer & sangria had our choice of 4 different tapas, mushrooms, potatoes, chicken, & seafood. Dinner & drinks for 7 euro. Best part were the locals at the bar, very friendly and tolerant of my broken Spanish. ”
“ A local favourite serving good-quality Galician fare. The octopus here is some of the best in Madrid. Recommendations include other seafood such as the zamburiñas (scallops), as well as the chorizo, sweetbreads, and fish and meat dishes on the griddle served with tasty garnishes of padrón peppers. Wash it all down with the ribeiro wine served in a ceramic jug with bowls to sip from. It looks and feels like a friendly tasca and it's always buzzing. The staff are the life of the bar and give it its personality - especially Juan who is guaranteed to entertain. The only thing to be aware of is that this is a cash-only place, so be sure to take out cash in advance as there are only a couple of atms nearby. ”
