El Chaparrito — Restaurant in Madrid

It would be quite OK if some of the "guests" weren't so inconsiderate. On my first visit, my dinner and my nerves were completely ruined by a guy at the next table and his ongoing extremely loud, hysterical laughter. Even the waitress asked him about it, but it didn't bother him at all. When I came back two days later, I didn't enter. Again, some bawlers were shouting so loudly that one could hear it from the street even with the door closed. And the food quality and service friendliness isn't worth it at all putting up with that noise. It doesn't have to be silent like in a monastery's refactorium, but also it doesn't necessarily have to be this incredibly loud. In general, it can be said that deficiencies in social behavior and intelligence cannot be compensated by volume. Just a few hundred yards away there's a Mexican restaurant where things aren't like an carnival event that's gotten...

That was awesome! I started with the Nachos - plenty of cheese, tasty Tortilla chips and some milky souce on top. I was also given spicy hot sauce, which was absolutely amazing - smoky and very hot - just the way, I like it. The main course was even bigger surprise - Tacos al Pastor. I think, I just had the best Pastors ever - juicy spicy meat, balanced with cubes of onions and pineapple, topped with coriander, the tacos were fluffy and somehow airy, which adds some nice texture to the dish. Highly recommended! I am definitely returning back to try the Enchiladas and Queso Fundido. The service was flawless.

EDIT: I re-visited the place after a few weeks, and all I can say is that, if you are into Mexican cuisine, this place is more than mandatory! I tried a variety of 6 tacos this time and they were all with unique and...

Staff was nice! Cool decor, loved the sombrero lights. Frijoles were amazing. A couple of critiques that we have (that no one asked for) on the other dishes. We ordered enchiladas, flautas, nachos, and chilaquiles. Nachos were great! Guacamole was delicious. For the chilaquiles I was hoping for tortilla chips that were handmade (the tortilla chips look more store bought) the chilaquiles rojas had too much cheese and the red sauce was a little too bland. We felt the same way towards the enchiladas. Enchiladas of course have cheese but it seemed like the cheese was overpowering the dish. The flautas were decent and had a nice crisp.

We are going to try this place again during the weekday. We think maybe they were a little swamped and we want to give it another chance and order some...
