Menudeo — Restaurant in Madrid

Since we have arrived, we knew something was off. The restaurant has a weird smell and we were told to wait despite the room was empty. The tortilla de patatas was cold and too salty, and it seemed like it was prepared a lot earlier and just warmed up. Then we got a tomato salad and the tomatoes tasted like they were three-weeks old. For a ~20€ plate that is centered around the tomatoes, this was shocking. We then told to the waitress that the tomatoes were not good, and in response she said absolutely nothing, she just stared at us. Our last plate was “langostino al ajillo” that not only tasted bad, but the shrimps were not cooked properly. So we had to stop eating to avoid getting sick. The bill came at 98€ for three people, which is very pricey for food of such low quality. We left and no-one mentioned anything about the tomatoes plate, and actually the waiters were really dry to us. The place is absolutely to avoid.

Edit after their comment: unfortunately, sometimes a restaurant doesnt even know how to cook a tomato, let alone knowing how to manage a feedback. 🥸 maybe too much time spent on offending customers on Google Maps and not enough time spent in...

My husband and I went here for a date night and highly recommend! We tried the chicharrones, boquerones y berenjena, gambas con ajillo, almejas con gambas y jamón and a play on the ensalada de tomate con ventresca with salmorejo...

All delicious and even the bread was great, which we kept asking for because we wanted to mop up every part of the dish. Hehe.

The waitress was knowledgable, considerate and attentive.

We cannot wait to...

Hacía un tiempo que teníamos ganas de probar esta casa, que comparte propiedad con Colósimo y, de repente, vino la oportunidad. Amabilidad a raudales desde el momento de hacer la reserva. Sonrisas y atención... Eso, de entrada, te gana. Comimos en el precioso salón interior, verde, porque fuera hacía calor. Decoración muy agradable, sencilla, acogedora, tranquila, como un salón de una preciosa casa del sur. Langostinos, pulpo sobre una especie de muselina de matanza, pluma ibérica con verduras... productos tradicionales, con elaboración actual y en el punto perfecto. Es decir, todo muy rico! Ah, claro... y la famosa tortilla! Me sorprendió porque de verdad que es "original": es una tortilla de patatas como Dios manda, pero con su personalidad... Y en definitiva, está buenísima, que es lo que al final importa. Nos liquidamos una botella de Manzanilla "Viva la Pepa", que le iba perfectamente a la comida y al origen de la casa, Cádiz. Nos atendió de lujo Manuel; da gusto con profesionales así, eficiente y simpático. Además, se nota que "la propiedad" está muy interesada en saber si has estado bien... fueron muy amables y detallistas, muchas gracias. Y todo a un precio decididamente razonable. Vamos, que estamos tardando...
