EN: This place is really nice, the food is amazing, I came here multiple nights over two trips to the city. The quality of the food is amazing and the atmosphere is very local, nothing pretentious or ridiculous going on. They have both paper and digital menus. I never had to wait for a table and I love how you can put the last order in extremely late as well. Where they lose points is the service, one of the waitresses with her hair dyed red from the Dominican Republic tried to say she couldn't understand my Spanish when the entire country understood me, she just didnt like being asked a lot of questions. It's funny to hear her criticizing my Spanish when Dominicans are known for using slang and butchering the language anyway. ES: Un lugar muy guey, comida rica, platos clasicos y simples, se puede comer hasta tardisimo, los meseros son mas o menos. Si puedes no te vayas con la Dominicana con pelo roja, es una payasa.
Impressive food! Chuletón de Avila was the best food we've had in Madrid so far!
During the power outage, this was the only place open around the zone. Providing food and drinks: Jamón ibérico and curated Cheese sliced in front of everyone. Ensalada rusa - perfectly even without energy, the beers were cold. The food is amazing, the service is incredible and the place replicates the true self of the hispanic-Parliant culture: if we have no lights we will create it. Astonishing place. Every time I have free time, I will definitely come back. 21:41 GMT +2 Madrid time (you can do your own time-translation you have google for it ) I've ordered the most consumed dish: Carne. This is a must in Spain, specially in Madrid, is astonishing the way how they operate, they are so fast, so attendance, so incredibly that you will always want to me back. Everyone from Spain who provide 4 stars : shame on you, this place is not even a 5 stars I will rate it as a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6* for all you, come to me, one by one: I will show you a family friendly place, where kids can standby, where pets are allowed, were the Wi-Fi is even available from the store manger though all possibilities utcomes (Apple or android, if you have blackberry or elder: go to sleep) This place is amazing. 5 stars are not enough, for real. This place is a 6 Star, whoever does not agreed with, come to me; ask me.
Delicious food and excellent service. In the winter it's nice and warm. And in the summer comfortable and excellent vibes.
Great food excellent service. Bar Hidalgo is a story of steaks and beers and men. :)
