Comida casera estupenda, atención de 10 y la primera tanda de cervezas nos salió gratis! Volveremos!!

Si buscas comida tradicional, nada de cosas nuevas… este es tu sitio. Tapas con aceitunas, torreznos, etc. La carta no es muy grande pero lo suficiente para comer bien. Pedimos media ración de matrimonio (anchoas, bocartes) y media ración de callos madrileños (sin duda el éxito de la comida). Tiene una parte baja donde están los baños sin mesas para estar más de pie, rollo más picar algo de pie. No había mucha gente y se estaba muy bien.

Taberna La Elisa was sooo good, I had to write a positive review right away. The gambas, patatas bravas, and the calamari and all are fresh and delicious! (See picture) Add this place to your Madrid tapas bars list now. Gracias!

This restaurant is out of this world good! You have to add this on your "must-try tapas bars" in Madrid. We ordered the calamari, patatas bravas, and the gambas. All of the dishes are fresh and delicious! Pair those dishes with beer or wine....muy bien! The staff were friendly and very helpful too. Go to this restaurant soon! Thank you!

We had a wonderful family meal here. All the tapas was delicious- we especially enjoyed the artichoke and the sliced beef. Excellent atmosphere and friendly service too! I highly recommend this authentic restaurant if you are in Madrid!

We were delighted to find Taberna Elisa right next door to our apartment for a week in Madrid. The atmosphere is authentic, the food exceptional and the staff friendly. What more can you ask for.

I would say this should be a go to in Madrid. The food was excellent & affordable. We loved the appetizer mushroom w quail egg and the prawns were so yummy. The octopus was sooooo delish. We sat at the newer restaurant (more spacious) and if you walk 10 steps downhill, you will find the original restaurant (a bit warmer) but you will see it's very authentic!

Very cozy tapas bar that seem to be getting more popular with tourists. We enjoyed sitting on the original side, and overflow is sent to the other side. Food is really good, and innovative. We also really enjoyed the decor. The servers don't speak English but we managed to get by with a little Spanish and some gestured and google translate. Recommend the patatas bravas (red sauce is good), secreto joselito, and the stuffed mushrooms. The snails tasted over cooked, because it was a bit mushy instead of chewy. Everything is very rich, but fortunately they serve you bread. The free chicharrón (fried crispy pork rinds) were also delicious.

Old school tapas bar. Quite well received with locals in the restaurant. No English menu and the staff don’t speak English either - quite authentic place! Interesting tapas menu and food were quite tasty as well. The main service staff was quite aggressive but friendly at the same time 😂 go and you know what I mean. Recommended!

One of my favourite places to bring friends to in Madrid! Must tries: callos, patatas bravas, chipirones (fried baby squid), croquetas, stuffed mushrooms. The beer is inexpensive too. The staff is great, the vibe is really nice, and the surrounding area is great for a post-dinner walk.

Very authentic atmosphere, music and people. Food was delicious, good white wine and beer. It was luck we find a free table :) reasonable prices. We left happy and satisfied. Thank you. 🙏

Amazing, authentic tapas. This is a must. We were recommended by a local and couldn’t be happier. We feel like we hit a local secret taberna. We ordered the bacalao (cod), croqueta, boquerones (sardines), salmorejo (cold traditional soup), gambas rojas (garlic prawns) and, of course, the patas bravas. This is a great starting menu for the perfect introduction to tapas in Madrid.

Wonderful taverna, my first evening in Madrid, so welcoming. Food was amazing washed down with a cerveza. Staff were lovely! My Spanish was atrocious but between me and the waiter I managed to order all this lovely food. Literally couldn't fault how good the food was.

Esta taberna es de esas con aire madrileño que tienen la capacidad de transportarte a otra época. Llegamos sin reserva, nos buscaron un lugar en la barra y la comida nos sorprendió. Es más que una cocina de tapas tradicionales. Han experimentado con las recetas de los clásicos para ofrecer otros sabores. Comimos mollejas preparadas con un toque de limón que estaba delicioso. La oreja tiene otro nivel, crocante y en salsa y cerramos con morro, que digamos que es la parte saliente de la cara de la res o el cerdo. Estaba muy rica, no la había probado antes. Se escucha de fondo un poco de flamenco y los chicos son atentos. Difícil ir sin reserva.

Fuimos a tomar algo al final de la tarde. Nos comentaron que tenían todas las mesas reservadas y nos ofrecieron un hueco en la barra. Tienen una carta extensa y variada, con pintxos, raciones para compartir y platos más elaborados. Son del grupo Triciclo, por lo que el nivel de la comida se esperaba algo. Pedimos unas croquetas, un dado de bacalao, un champiñón relleno y media ración de ensaladilla. Todo buenísimo y con buena presentación. Nos ofrecieron una cesta de pan. Vienen dos tipos de pan de hogaza. Diré que estaban muy ricos, pero la cesta traía muchos trozos con una corteza muy gruesa y dura, que no es para todos los públicos. Más allá de la comida, el servicio fue caótico. El camarero transmitía mucho agobio, hablando con un tono de voz muy alto y estando muy perdido, sin saber a qué mesa iba cada plato. Aunque en Navidades es una época muy complicada para la hostelería, aún era pronto y no había demasiada gente. Y para colmo, el datáfono dejó de funcionar y tuvimos que pagar con efectivo. Otro detalle que no me gustó es que a la hora de pagar no nos trajeron la cuenta desglosada. Si bien no parece que hubiera mala intención, me parece vital ser transparentes con este tema. También hubo un momento que los dos camareros se contradecían: uno que nos dijo que ocupásemos toda la zona de barra y otro que después nos echó. Un gesto muy feo. Volvería por la comida, pero espero que la experiencia fuera más agradable.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at this cozy restaurant. Service was excellent!

Great place, good food. Make sure you have some Spanish (or at least a language app) and you’ll be fine 👍

The only reason for 4 stars is the food. The beef tripe stew was so flavorful and it melts in your mouth. And the shrimp was also fresh and had a pleasant spicy kick. The service though was a totally different story. We waited for almost 1 hour for the food and had to grab plates and utensils ourselves. There was only 1 waiter in the entire place and obviously he couldn’t be attentive. We were not in a hurry and just wrapping up the day, but I can imagine the experience end up being much worse for others.

This place caught my eye since the first day we arrived. When it opened we gave it a try. Food was amazing. The tastiest mushrooms in my life (seriously). Calamari was 🔥 Oysters were amazing. Definitely recommend.

Tenía muchas ganas de ir a Taberna de la Elisa porque las fotos prometían, pero la experiencia fue bastante decepcionante. Teníamos mesa reservada a las 14:30 y no empezamos a comer hasta las 15:30 porque los camareros estaban muy poco atentos. Varios platos de la carta no estaban disponibles y aunque pedimos algunas cosas, como las patitas de calamar que estaban ricas, las raciones eran pequeñas (las patatas bravas, por ejemplo). Nos quedamos con hambre y al querer pedir algo más, nos dijeron que la cocina cerraba a las 16:00, pero nadie nos avisó antes, lo cual hubiera sido útil. A las 17:00, en plena sobremesa, nos invitaron a marcharnos porque cerraban, algo que tampoco nos informaron al hacer la reserva. Cuando en Google pone que cierran a las 23:00 todos los días. En resumen, una taberna con servicio flojo, comida normal y mala gestión de tiempos. No repetiría.

Ramon Portilla

Considering other options I tried around, this place didn’t wow me. The mixed croquetas that I ordered, half were cold and half were warm. Felt like they just dumped them from the fridge. The empanada de carne was good.

We went as a group of five for dinner. The place is nicely decorated in the style of an old tavern and retains the charm of such establishments. Fortunately, we had a reservation since the restaurant was really busy. The table where we were seated was in a great spot next to the kitchen and separated from the rest of the establishment. Very comfortable. However, the food was somewhat disappointing. Of the dishes we tried, the best were undoubtedly the mushrooms, which were truly good, the Iberian "Secreto" - a pork cut -, and the cheese tart, the latter being spectacular. The squid legs were a point of disagreement; they were tough, oily, and poorly breaded. The Russian salad, although I personally didn't mind it, the rest of the diners didn't like it at all. Neither the texture, which was too liquid and oily, nor the strong flavor imparted by the homemade pickling sauce was appealing. The pig's ear, with a dressing that could be interesting, was tender, but it lacked the crispy touch you always expect from this dish, giving it an almost gelatinous finish that was not to the liking of most. The service was correct, and they strived to keep up, although it was noticeable that the restaurant was at full capacity and both the kitchen and the waiters were almost overwhelmed. In any case, they were very professional and courteous at all times. Finally, we found the price to be excessive for the quality and quantity of the portions, especially the Russian salad and pig's ear, which were not very large but were priced steeply. The general consensus is that, while some dishes were quite successful, like the mushrooms, cheese tart, and Iberian secret, others were quite mediocre and priced unjustifiably high.

Muy mala experiencia. Creo que tienen los productos medio fritos/hechos para terminarlos en el momento. De aperitivo champiñón guisado, frío, frío, de nevera. Ensaladilla rusa aguada, líquida. Tigres refritos, negros. Champiñón relleno, baboso de llevar hecho mucho tiempo. Torreznos, nada de carne, solo grasa, tanta que ni nos lo han cobrado. Si un plato sale mal, puede ser casualidad, si todos son muy mejorables, el problema es de fondo. Una pena porque Triciclo siempre ha sido sinónimo de calidad y en La Elisa, brilla por su ausencia. Hay mucha otra oferta en la zona como para repetir aquí.

En Instagram la califican como la mejor taberna de Madrid, está muy lejos de eso, te atienden a desgano y apuradamente. Música a alto volumen de un reproductor hogareño de baja calidad. Baños con poca higiene y olorosos. La comida es buena sin exagerar, la seta que pedimos estaba quemada. Irrepetible.

Hemos ido a comer dos personas y la experiencia ha sido regular. Experiencia más turística que madrileña. Hemos pedido dos menús del día(uno para cada uno) 19€ cada uno y aunque la comida no estaba mal, la cantidad era de tapa más que de plato de menú. Además el servicio ha dejado bastante que desear. Como queríamos compartir los dos menús, le hemos pedido al camarero unos platos limpios. Al pasar a los segundos, le hemos pedido otros dos platos limpios para no mezclar sabores y nos ha dicho que no, que solo podían darnos un plato limpio y que no podíamos compartir menús. Algo muy absurdo que no hemos entendido. No repetiremos. Hay muy buenos restaurantes por esa zona.

It’s supposed to be a good tapas bar — even several local guides recommend it — but I have to agree with other reviewers: the service is terrible. Let me explain. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty. We were asked if we had a reservation; we didn’t, so the waiter seated us at one of the small tables. We ordered drinks and a few tapas, and everything seemed fine at first. About 30 minutes later, we wanted to order another round of tapas and drinks, but the waiter abruptly told us we had to leave in five minutes because he needed the table. Normally, you’d expect a restaurant to let guests know upfront if a table is only available for a limited time (especially if we talk about 30 mins). Instead, this felt very unpleasant — almost like being thrown out. We were polite, friendly, and caused no trouble, so the experience was really disappointing. Also, the waiters were quite loud when talking to each other, which didn’t create a pleasant atmosphere.

Muy mala experiencia por el servicio. Nos aseguraron que la cocina iba rápida porque el restaurante no estaba lleno, pero no fue así. Pedí un filete y, después de servir al resto y que terminaran de comer me dijeron que no quedaba. Tuve que pedir otra cosa y tuve que esperar una hora y media. En total, casi dos horas para terminar. Al preguntar por la demora del segundo filete, el camarero respondió con actitud vacilona y comentarios fuera de lugar en vez de disculparse. Para rematar, tras pagar, salió a reclamarnos 20 céntimos que faltaban. Una pena, pero la falta de profesionalidad empañó completamente la experiencia.

Fuimos hace 2 años y nos encantó. Por eso repetimos en nuestra visita a Madrid y la experiencia no pudo ser más diferente. La comida un desastre: mollejas que sabían sospechosamente a vinagre, alcachofas duras y sin sabor con un jamón que parecía de microondas, pisto con huevo roto sin más, calamares muy normales y las croquetas aceptables. El servicio casi inexistente. Sólo al final hubo contacto, seguramente para cerrar pronto. Me temo que no volveremos en mucho tiempo. Una pena porque el ambiente del local y la música son muy agradables.
