I went here on a Sunday shortly after they opened without a reservation. Luckily I was able to sit at the small bar -the placed was packed and for good reason. Chilaquiles are their specialty and while you can find them at other places no place gets them perfect as this place does. The tortilla chips were perfectly fried and the verde sauce didn’t make them soggy. The refried beans were so perfect I ordered an extra side. Salsa verde was spicy and delicious. Eggs fried to perfection which is rare anywhere in Europe. The service was friendly but hurried as they were so busy…I loved this meal and can’t wait to go back my next time in Madrid. This is comida that is as homemade as you...
Read moreReally good food, one of the best. Green enchiladas was something else! For drinks we had micheladas and clamatada, if you come go for the second one no doubt. They have a really nice gesture giving my kids their own cocktail (agua de Jamaica, which is an hibiscus infusion).

Read moreCobran las salsas. Para alguien que desconozca podrá parecer normal, pero eso lo hacen en México y la primera semana tienen que cerrar. Es la antítesis del concepto gastronómico mexicano. Lo de "elige tu proteína" es una modernidad que tampoco tiene que ver con la cocina tradicional, poniendo en evidencia que tienen más pintoneo que saber hacer en la cocina. Se autopromocionan diciendo que sus sabores y olores te transportan a las calles de México, al chile si cobras las salsas alv, de que México me hablas wey no mms.
En el rango de precios que se manejan hay sitios bastante mejores, y más por unos chilaquiles que es de los platillos típicos más sencillos y baratos. Se ve que cobran por emplatar vistoso para hacer la foto del Instagram. Resumiendo: Ni llegas a fondita de colonia y ya te crees Frida chilaquiles. Pones las botellas de jarritos en la barra, decoras con restos de los difuntos, pones a Lafourcade con los ángeles azules y ya tienes un qntro mexicano para cobrar un caballito a 10 euros. Eso sí, elije tu proteína y paga las salsas xD
Si tienes amistades mejicanas y les quieres sacar por Madrid a probar comida de su tierra, definitivamente no...
