Authentic neighborhood bar serving traditional Madrid tapas and excellent value menu del día. Known for its no-frills atmosphere and home-style cooking that attracts locals rather than tourists. The friendly owner treats regulars like family.
Try the house specialty oreja a la plancha (grilled pig's ear) - it's surprisingly delicious and a true Madrid tradition.
