We are a group of 6 tourists and we visit Madrid and my local Spainish friend introduced this restaurant for us. We do love the food, very delicious, traditional but the price is really cheap. For sure, we will introduce everybody about this restaurant

Wonderful typical place to have a meal. Pedro is a really nice guy, go greet him and there is a chance you get a chupito !

I total recommend this restaurant because of the food and atmosphere . It is steps from Las Ventas, and they have amazing Spanish cuisine. The service is amazing, ask for Pedro, he is the BEST.!

Our dinner experience was excellent. Our waitress, Elizabeth, was very attentive and welcoming. We asked her to guide us for our dinner options, and she immediately suggested the house specialty: rabo de toro, along with a cachopo asturiano for the main courses. For an appetizer she offered molleja, and a tinto de verano with a sangria for drinks. The drinks came promptly, along with bread and olives. Then the mollejas came out sizzling and were a great start to the dinner. Elizabeth later brought the main dishes which were more savory than we expected. Throughout dinner, Elizabeth checked in on us to make sure we weren’t lacking of anything. Dessert was also a recommendation from Elizabeth, a warm tarta tatin de manzana with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, then Elizabeth brought us a couple of waters to balance out the dessert sweetness - a great finish to our dinner. Definitely recommend Timbales, and ask for Elizabeth if you want to have an awesome dinner experience.

Very friendly and helpful service with both English speaking and Spanish staff. Good recommendations and helpful. Food was very good. Steak and chips were cooked to perfection and a decent portion. My wife loved the paella which they were happy to help us takeaway as its a two person portion.

The paella was delicious. The service was super good, too. Frutos, our server, was so nice! We had a great time. Definitely recommend going.

Friendly staff, even when they spoke minimal English, we worked out what each other were saying. Meals were delicious.

We had the best rabo de toro/ oxtail tail, this is one of the favorite place to eat for those who love toros. People where very nice considering they where about to close and give us good service, pescaito frito and tabla de quesos y jamon all delicious.

He ido en varias ocasiones por la cercanía a casa, a beber y picar y también a comer a la carta. Para picar esta bueno, croquetas ricas, papas bien servidas y buenas bebidas. En la comida a la carta el servicio no fue bueno. Se demoran muchísimo aún cuando ese día casi estábamos solo mi pareja y yo. El pulpo a la gallega, riquísimo. Lo demás, rico pero nada que sorprenderse. De igual manera, volveremos porque es una vieja confiable.

Muy recomendado. Nos atendió Fran y fue muy agradable, simpático y atento. La comida estaba muy buena. Volvería sin duda.

Went here on our first day in Madrid with my wife. Overall the food was good and the portions were reasonable. We ordered the braised ox tail (house specialty), octopus, and cheese and jamon platter with soft drinks and a coffee on the side. The highlight was definitely the octopus; tender and flavorful. The platter was a good mix of jamon, chorizo, and one cheese; a good platter to share and snack on. The braised oxtail was flavorful and well tenderized, but it came to us cold which detracted from its overall flavor. The drinks were as expected and the coffee (espresso) was good. The service was good. Other than the cold oxtail detracting from the overall experience, I highly recommend going here.

I can say that it’s normal restaurant. Ordered seafood paella and it was average taste.

Bad quality, staff made lots of mistakes, seemed annoyed when asked to heat our cold food. Toilets are bad, no soap.

Not bad at all for a local place. Food was fresh and good and great portions. Very good coffee too and a nice terrace in front of the restaurant.

Entramos al restaurante, un sábado, atraídos por el menú del día , a 17€, que publicidan en la puerta de entrada. La primera sorpresa es que, al ser sábado, no puede ser y hay que ir a carta. Acepto a regañadientes por no andar buscando más El servicio nos pareció una poco desorganizado, al no tener en cuenta el orden de los platos a la hora de servir, discutír entre ellos, no traer pan y reclamarlo, y tener la música ambiente muy alta. Calidad de los platos: la parrillads de verduras estaba excesivamente salada y la salsa romescu era una masa uniforme y fría; el rabo de toro -supuesta especialidad - viene templado tirando a frío y correoso; la sopa de marisco si estaba rica; por último, el arroz con leche tenía un extraño sabor que no supe identificar. La relación calidad y precio me parece excesiva para lo percibido.

El lugar y la decoración, preciosos. La comida, normal. Cada cual tiene sus gustos y a mi los huevos rotos con jamón en patatas muy fritas... me resultan secas y sosas. El precio un poco exagerado para lo q es, pero es lo q tienen ciertas zonas emblemáticas de Madrid. El servicio lo salvo por el camarero de la barra. La sorpresa es cuando le pidió la comanda a la cocinera y la señora bajó a la cocina protestando por la hora. Si las 14:00 no es hora para comer en Madrid, q me diga la señora a qué hora le apetece trabajar. El ambiente agradable por la música de no ser porque había 3 señoras en la otra punts del local q parecían cacarear más q todo un gallinero. El camarero muy agradable, muy amable y simpático q nos hizo una foto en un rincón donde nos gustó la decoración y nos pidió escribir la reseña.

Estuvimos tranquilos, no comimos mal, pero vimos una cucaracha, el camarero joven moreno avisado por unas comensales la mato. Volver… no creo. Esa demás caro. Y el rabo de toro es congelado . Si vais mirad cuenta porque nos cobraban de más !!!!

Very average. It's positioned well, next to the bullring, but that often means that due to the high volume of people, the quality and service is lower. The waiters I had weren't very nice, and automatically talk to you in English as if you were a tourist. I won't be going again. It's basically a tourist bar.

Cozy place and seems like no need to reserve. The service was excellent. As for the food, it was just average. The only standout dish was the pulpo ala galleta, which was very soft and flavorful! Other okay options are the ox tail croquette and the chulletilas (fried lamb). The mixed paella was way bigger than expected and lacked taste. We ordered 2 portions but it can easily serve 4-5 people. The seafood they used were very tiny lobsters and crab legs with no meat at all. 😢 Other orders were unremarkable: callos, huevos salsa de rabo (ox tail sauce with fries), sopa marisco (seafood soup), beans, and ox tail meatball (good taste but too mushy for my liking).

Mesa sucia y sin mantel para una comida de 50€. Cuchillo para carne poco afilado, lo que unido a que la carne no sea la más tierna del mundo, te lleva a pelearte a brazo partido con el entrecot (frío, por cierto). La carta tiene buena pinta pero el resultado sobre la mesa es bastante decepcionante y aburrido. El servicio regulero, muy robótico y poco atento.

We ordered seafood mix paella, it’s very salty then can’t finish it. 🥲

Pido una tarta de queso de la casa que vale 9 euros y me traen una tarta que sabe a tortilla encime me la sirven caliente y no tiene ni mermelada ni sirope de nada y OJO 9 euros!!! Un engaño! Me la comí por hambre….pero no vale eso!!! Tampoco te limpian ni la mesa.

El servicio muy mal intentaron 2 veces ponernos mas cosas de las que pedimos una en la barra que metieron 20 euros de mas y luego en la comida metieron una botella de vino de mas otros 25 euros . Y algunas raciones muy escasas . Hay que estar con mil ojos y cuando se lo dijimos no dijeron ni que lo sentían. Muy mal la esperienza.

Fuimos un grupo de amigos a comer el sábado 20/12 con reserva hecha desde el 17/11 por internet y al llegar no tenían la reserva hecha. Nada más llegar nos tomamos algo en la barra y antes de pasar al comedor nos dan la cuenta y al repasarla vimos que nos habían cargado consumiciones de otra mesa, además de con malas formas lo rectificaron. En la mesa tenían bastante descontrol, los platos con poca cantidad y fríos, tuvimos que pedir que calentarán los callos y el entrecot. Los camareros dejan bastante que desear y con ninguna profesionalidad. Y de nuevo al pedir la cuenta nos cargaron una botella de vino demás. Parece que todo está hecho para los turistas y para engañar. No volveremos ni tampoco es un sitio para recomendar.

Que decepción. Fui con mi familia a comer algo para cenar y que error el mio. No había nada de tapas en barra, solo raciones por carta. Decidimos comer unos bocadillos, el mio de calamares en mal estado, me lo cambiaron por lomo. Precio abusivo, servicio horroroso, comida terrible y chulería del camarero. Con la de bares taurinos preciosos que hay en la zona, ya se uno al que no volveré.

We went there this November and ordered seafood paella for two people. The staff didn’t speak English and we had trouble understanding each other. The food was nothing special. Honestly the best was lemon slices which added a layer to the boring paella. What’s worse, when checking out, the old man working behind the bar UNABASHEDLY asked for the tip. I thought he was saying “tea”. But he kept repeating the word. Worst of all, he and an old local female diner laughed at us. Such act of mocking was rude and unacceptable. At last, my husband gave two euros to end this worst dining experience we had during our travel in Spain.

The owner of the restaurant made us feel awkward and uncomfortable. We ordered disk of lamb with request to cook it medium rare. They brought out a well-cooked lamb dish. When we brought it up, the owner came and insisted that this is “medium” as we ordered and that they cooked it right. We kinda ok and let it be. Then when we got the bill, he overcharged us 1 bottle of water. When I showed him that we did not use the second bottle, he again insisted that we must pay for it. He speaks little English, but he made us feel very uncomfortable the way he handled things there and wanted us to pay whatever he thought he should be paid. I would not recommend this place if you don’t want to ruin your travel mood.

The look of the bar is attractive. The waitress was friendly. But it is a bit of a tourist trap. We paid 16 euros for 4 coffees and two tostadas. This is double from what is written on the board outside. We did not see in small letters that the marked prices were for Monday to Friday. The men's toilets were very dirty even at 11:30 am. Higher up in the street other breakfast opportunities are much more economical.
