Lovely little restaurant! Amazing food - I had some very delicious grilled octopus. The portion is reasonable. Seafood is a bit pricey although I'm not sure of the average price in Madrid, but definitely worth it. None of the waiters speaks any English, but they had a great understanding on my broken Spanish. There was also a menu English for tourists

The guy behind the bar was very friendly and accommodating with my request. It's also possible to sit outside and have a good selection of food for breakfast.

Do you want to eat a lot of food?? Omg!! Can't miss this Galician place, the food is very good and the prices are according to the quality! 😀 It's very close to Madrid Rio, and the attention 100 points!!! They are very kind!

The food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes are huge. Every plate comes with a side of bread (also a lot) and we also got a little extra side dish with potato and fish. The place does not seem great from the outside but let me tell you the food there is great. We got there on a Saturday evening/night without a reservation and immediately got a table for two.

A very nice experience. I've told the waiter that my spanish is bad so he offered me an english menu. The food was very good and plenty and the beer nice and cold served each time with a different tapas. I highly recommend it.

Really nice typical Galician popular restaurant. Either to drink something or to eat some "pulpo", a place to discover in this part of the town.

Restaurante tradicional gallego en zona Puente Segovia, con carta breve pero contundente y muy típica. No puedes perderte el pulpo o el abundante lacón con grelos y patatas, también pedimos tortilla de patata y estaba muy rica. El servicio un poco acelerado, tienen dos turnos de cena; 21:00 a 22:30 y el siguiente hasta las 00:00 horas y te apuran al máximo para cumplirlo. Buena relación calidad precio.

Un bar restaurante gallego como los de antes. Con sus pros y contras. Empezando por lo malo, el local necesita una renovación y no se ve muy cuidado. Por otro lado, es poco presentable no servir café para evitar que los comensales se demoren en abandonar el local. Centrándonos en lo bueno, las raciones son monstruosamente grandes y la comida está honestamente elaborada con ingredientes de calidad. Los precios resultan económicos y acordes con barrio, servicio y local.

Hoy hemos vuelto, sin palabras, mejor que el primer dia, el otro día pedimos pulpo, empanada y Caldo Gallego, relación calidad precio ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tapeo gallego tradicional con cantidades generosas en un local sin lujos de toda la vida. Probamos el chorizo con cachelos un poco picante y la empanada de carne. Ambos muy buenos. Sirven tapa con la bebida y las raciones de pan enormes. Bien de precio.

Espacio agradable, buena atención del personal, comida muy bien elaborada. Si de algún aspecto negativo tuviera que señalar, lo haría sobre lo templadillo que estaba el caldo gallego (muy buen sabor) y el picante que nos pusieron el pulpo. Aconsejable solicitar reserva para disponer de mesa. Experiencia para repetir. (Enr.-2025)

Un sitio donde con la comida te ganan. El sitio no es espectacular de hecho no te vas a poder sentar como no reserves en las 4 mesas que hay. ( Literalmente) Está ambientado como los mesones de toda la vida. Repetiré. Codillo y pimientos de padrón muy aconsejable.

Buen restaurante de barrio de toda la vida, sencillo, humilde, de medio tamaño, con buen y rápido servicio, y escueta carta. Tiene tanto mesas altas como mesas bajas. Mejor si se reserva, porque siempre hay mucha gente, además tiene tres turnos de comida y cenas. Calidad precio y cantidad… está genial. Todo muy rico lo q tomamos. Sobre todo el lacón, las patatas y la empanada de carne.

Restaurante típico de barrio con comida gallega. Todos sus platos están muy ricos. Difícil el poder aparcar. Sólo tienen 6 mesas así que es recomendable reservar.

I really wanted to try this place given the reviews and food options. Overall it was a very good place. Food was tasty (but salty) and it was very generous in portions (expensive as well) so we did small scale my original plans to order more. No one speaks English so we barely made do but it worked out. This place is BUSY and without reservations we barely got a table. And it got busier once we sat down and we showed up about 30min after they opened for lunch. We did get complimentary potato salad and bread which were very good but it was too much food.

Fantastic place for tapas & Galician cuisine. Well known for “ pimento de padrón “, “ pulpo gallego “ & “cocido gallego”. It’s one of the oldest joints and still maintains its essence. it’s a small place and difficult to get a table cause it’s always packed.

This is my favourite restaurant in Madrid. It gets really crowded, so you need to arrive early if you want to get a seat. Portions are big, perfect to share. White wine "ribeiro" is delicious. However, prices have risen in the past year and they've also changed their way of cooking the Spanish omelette: it was better before!!!

Conozco el sitio de hace mucho tiempo pero llevaba sin venir muchos años. Es un sitio pequeño por lo que se llena enseguida. La comida muy rica y ración abundante. Lo que debe mejorar es el trato de los camareros. Si no fuera por la comida me habría dado media vuelta sin dudar.

La comida estaba muy rica, pero un despropósito que te cobren 6€ por cuatro trozos de pan. Nos molestó que nos sentamos a comer a las 14.30 y a las 15.15 nos invitaron a terminar.

Me esperaba más calidad en la comida, sobre todo en los platos estrella: pulpo a la gallega y lacón con grelos. El pulpo estaba demasiado blando y el lacón muy reseco. La empanada, los callos y lo grelos bastante bien. Los pimientos bien pero bastantes muy pequeños. El pan no es del día. En fin, según las reseñas nos lo esperábamos mejor

Have been here many times with my friends over the last 10years. It used to be a great place,but for many years now it's going downhill, with worse and worse service. Food is still good.

Terrible experience! We were waiting for a table and the guy was very rude unprofessional he gave our table to another person… terrible actitud I really don’t recommend this place

Don't waste your time on this restaurant. One of the typical Spanish restaurants with a menu that's forty years old and waiters that think they own all of Madrid. The food itself is fine, but it's nothing special. Coming from Sevilla where tapas are the average portion size, we didn't think twice before ordering three or four dishes. Upon ordering, we realized the portions were full-sized dishes and our group of five couldn't finish everything. Though we also hate to waste food, we didn't want to throw up on our walk to the center of Madrid. We asked for the check and, in line with Spanish culture, the waiter asked if the food was okay. We said yes, of course, just too full to continue eating and he then proceeded to comment that "Americans only eat corn," which is the weirdest insult I've ever received. We paid our bill, which was certainly not cheap, and left. Visit one of the other thousands of restaurants with a menu like El Chacon in Madrid instead of wasting your valuable time and money at this one.
