Porneats: A Love Affair with Food (And No, Not That Kind of Affair)
After a long walk through the market on a cool Sunday afternoon, my wife and I found ourselves famished. We strolled back toward the plaza, weaving through the streets, when we stumbled upon a place called Porneats. Now, let’s be honest—you can pretend the name didn’t catch your attention, but I’ll admit it, it definitely grabbed mine. And before you get any ideas, my addiction is strictly to food.
The vibe? Spot on. Porneats was rocking 80s US hits (because what pairs better with food than some power chords and nostalgia?), and the covered patio outside had plenty of seating. Inside was a bit snug, but they did have an upstairs area for those who like their meals with a side of stairs. The menu was conveniently available via QR code, in both Spanish and English—perfect for the tech-savvy and those who prefer not to butcher a menu in their second language.
Then came Valentina, our waitress, who deserves a review of her own. Friendly, helpful, and effortlessly charming, she took the time to introduce herself and offer recommendations—not just on food, but on must-see spots in town. It’s the kind of service that reminds you hospitality isn’t just about delivering plates but creating experiences.
Now, let’s talk about the real reason you’re reading this: the food. After some friendly indecision (a.k.a. too many good options), we took Valentina’s advice and ordered the OMG Mexico with grilled chicken. And let me tell you—it lived up to the name. The chicken? Grilled to perfection. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside (no pun intended… okay, maybe a little). Smothered in cheese, topped with fresh avocado, and bursting with flavor, it was the kind of sandwich that requires napkins and zero shame.
Final verdict? If you’re walking by Porneats, stop. If you’re thinking about ordering takeout, do it. If you’re hesitating, don’t. Because whether you dine in or grab it to go, one thing is certain—you won’t be...
Read moreThe food was decent, but the service was unacceptable. They made us sit outside on the cold, without a heater, with the excuse that every table is reserved. But, it seems like that its the restaurant policy to put "reservado" in every table and to let people in or out based on some kind of face control, depepdently propably on how much they are going to spend ( more people, more money - we were 2). The basis for this argument is that they let us sit on a table outside that had "reservado" sign, and when I asked for how long we can sit, they told us as long we want, obviously because nobody had reserved it. The same is true for the other tables outside, that had "reservado" on top but stayed free for more that 1.5 hours. The other thing that was obvious was that as soon as somebody left, they cleaned the table and put "reservado" back in place. It is obvious that the same table wasn't reserved 3 times within 1.5 hours. The other thing is that they were at least 6 tables upstairs free, without nobody coming. We could sit there and stay for a limited time, if it was true that they were reserved. In addition, the staff was too pressing and came every 2 minutes for order, total 4 times. They insisted for us to order drinks every time they came, and even when I ordered a beer eventually, in order to be left alone, they asked my companion in order for her to order a drink, even through that she had stated the she...
Read moreWhat an incredible spot! My cousin and I are visiting Madrid from NYC and Puerto Rico and was looking for a good spot around the hotel we’re staying at and saw this spot in my google maps. PornEat completely exceeded our expectations. We had a highly recommended Handjob Smash burger. The burger was absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The sauce it came with and Cajun fries were spot on. The drinks were top-notch, perfectly mixed and super refreshing.
Huge shoutout to Emilia and Tina for the amazing service—so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Both of them made the experience unforgettable.
And thank you both for the shots on the house—such a fun and generous surprise! Highly recommend this place to anyone living in or visiting Madrid that’s looking for a great vibe, tasty food, and...
