CLAN TEQUILA — Restaurant in Madrid

After 5 or 6 visited, this was my favorite (low-cost) taco place in the area. And their food is still good. However, they seem to have an issue with two things: 1) respecting their own opening hours, and more seriously 2) respecting their customers.

Today, I left work in the early afternoon to have a few tacos, and arrived at the place at 14:10 (they are supposed to open at 14:00). The owner came up to me and said "we are still not open, come back in 10 minutes." I said it is already past 2 pm. He said that they were still cooking and that "I am the owner and I can open whenever I want." I thought to myself "seriously?" and how difficult would it be to ask me to sit down and offer me a glass of water! I left. Right outside, I see the other owner walking towards the entrance. He walked up to me and seemed to want to start a conversation about why I was leaving. I explained that "he told me it wasn't open". We both then look at the other owner inside and get this: the owner standing inside was making a hand gesture to the owner I was standing with outside the "this guy (me) is crazy". I pretended like I didn't see it and told the owner standing outside with me "you guys have weird hours, and now because you aren't open, I am going to eat somewhere else". I left to never come back again.

I am still giving it two starts instead of 1 because the...

Solía ser una buena opción para taquear, pero hemos de decir que ha cambiado mucho desde la última vez que fuimos.

Pedimos una gringa XL, no tenía nada de queso y la carne nos pareció más carne mechada que otra cosa, no parecía carne al pastor como son las gringas.

Cuando llegaron los tacos vimos que efectivamente los de pastor y los de cochinita pibil eran iguales, la misma carne, el supuesto pastor con piña y la cochinita con cebolla morada... (Foto) por lo que la gringa efectivamente estaba rellena de cochinita y no pastor.

En cuanto a las salsas, no tienen ni salsa verde ni roja, que son las típicas para los tacos. Solo tienen una salsa pero que no pica nada, así que es como si no tuvieran ninguna.

Por último, han subido mucho los precios de la carta.

Mi marido es mexicano y fuimos a ver el Grito que organiza la embajada mexicana todos los años en la plaza Chamberí en esta fecha. Elegimos este sitio por la cercanía y por lo bueno que estaba todo pero fue un fracaso. Para el próximo grito elegiremos otro, que por la zona hay bastantes....

This place is outrageously good. We stumbled into it because we needed some shelter from the rain and decided to try the food. Dare I say these are the best tacos in Madrid. Super authentic, simple but high quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. We could not believe how good the prices were… 1.70 a taco is hard to beat! Will be...
