A long-standing bar, I have had a rich and pleasant experience. WALKING through the corners of Madrid, I find a traditional bar that has the 3 b's, good, nice and cheap. Its quality food and unique attention make it worth coming and eating like at home.

Delicious food, we ordered a soupy octopus and shrimp rice that was impressive, one of the most delicious I have ever eaten, the waiters were very attentive and pleasant, always making sure that we did not miss anything, special mention for Angel, charming, to repeat without a doubt...
