Best kept secret in Madrid! Absolutely, amazing!

A tiny, old-fashioned bar: attentive waiters and always a free tapa. Excellent tripe (in my opinion, the best in Madrid) and fried pork belly. A little less foam on the draft beers would make them perfect, and the patatas bravas... when I tried them, they were soggy inside (they need improvement), but nothing's perfect.

A typical Madrid neighborhood bar. The service isn't the best, and the place is tiny. But the food is excellent—cachos (pork belly), torreznos (fried pork belly), and classic Madrid and local dishes—all at a good price. I'd go back.

This bar lives up to its reputation: great patatas bravas, amazing tripe, and fantastic spider crab croquettes. If I had to find a fault, it would be that there's very little space and hardly any chairs.

Excellent Pork crackers, had a blast. Very good attention and cold beer.

Paula Rodriguez

A small, traditional bar for eating standing up, where everything is good, their tripe being the star dish. Not very friendly, but professional. Packed on weekends.

I discovered this tapas bar by chance, but it won't be the last time I'm there. The food is a 10/10, the service is a 10/10, and the atmosphere is that classic, old-fashioned kind you just can't miss. I should also mention that the beer is some of the best I've ever had on tap.

I live around the corner and this place is the real deal, a proper unpretentious neighbourhood meeting place, an authentic dive into the pescatarian delights and carnivorous soul of traditional Spanish cuisine, delivered in no nonsense style. Vermut, cañas, pulpo, gambas, gildas, boquerones, croquetas, callos, zamburiñas, torreznos etc etc... whatever racion you're after, they've got you covered.

Amazing place! In my quest to go to one bar in every neighborbood in Madrid (131 total neighborhoods), my friend and I chose Cervecería Alonso and it was phenomenal. The zamburiñas and croquetas de txangurro were simply to die for! (My instagram is andrew_discovers_madrid if you want to see the post I made about my visit to the bar)

Amazing callos, ensaladilla and bravas. Would definitely repeat. Nice service too!

First time here and absolutely loved it. Don’t come here if you are expecting a luxury experience, Madrid has lots of great options for that. Come here for the relaxed, authentic experience of a great food, friendly and amazingly efficient service and be amazed by how these guys operate in such a small place with so many food options on their menu. Not entirely sure what’s with the ratings that say everything is awesome and then give less than 5 stars. Yes, no chairs, no tables, no formal waiters. This is what this place does and they are amazing at it. 5 stars for me

Ok

Maxi Jiménez

Carlos Bush Martínez

Best callos, so far

Ken Konrad Kramer

Taste the local speciality , callos , pulpo a la gallega with a smooth cana to wash it all down! Not cheap but it worth it!

Amazing tapas! Great service.

Bar con mucha solera, fundada en 1957 y con muy buena cocina. Ideal para tomarse unas buenas cervezas y unas buenas raciones. Los callos son muy muy buenos. No dejéis de probarlos porque son Espectaculares. Me encanta ir a estos sitios porque ahora cuesta encontrarlos.

La comida muy rica. Súper recomendable. El servicio bueno y estuvieron atentos. El lugar un poco sucio, sé que es el estilo pero….

Pues otra pena, otra pena ver como con el paso de tiempo, el encarecimiento de la vida, los días mas cortos..... las raciones de callos cada vez mas pequeñas, la media ración, entra tranquilamente en una caja de cerillas. Pero el precio es el mismo ..... que si, que son espectaculares, pero, relación: calidad-precio-cantidad, es de suspenso. No he visto y allí donde viajo tomo callos, raciones mas pequeñas. Tendrá que ser así, Cóbrame si quieres dos euros mas, pero pon una ración en condiciones. Si pides tres raciones para llevar, se supone, que mas menos han de pesar lo mismo, yo que tengo peso en casa de una a otra había 90g de diferencia. 410-460-490 y la media ración sorpresa: 190 gramos. Viva las matemáticas.

Friendly, lively neighbourhood bar. They pour a good Mahou caña and the seafood, octopus (pulpo) in particular, is excellent. They do sandwiches too.

EDUARDO AGUILAR MACARRO

Nothing noteworthy. Uncomfortable, unfriendly service, octopus exposed at conversational height without any protection, just like the Padrón peppers. We ordered grilled prawns, perfectly cooked but with unidentifiable flavors, perhaps because the grill was small. Half a portion of tripe was barely passable, garlic prawns were few but acceptable, nothing special. Steamed cockles were acceptable but unremarkable. Two very ordinary Ribera del Duero wines and four Zarros. Total: 90 euros. Priced almost like the benchmarks in its market niche. Unjustifiable.

Fuimos a este local atraídos por sus buenas opiniones y no nos pudo defraudar más. Pedimos la tostada de pulpo que no tenía sabor alguno (además de estar duro). Los bígaros, que tienen un precio elevado para lo que son, estaban rancios y con sabor bastante fuerte (no comimos ni la mitad). Las cervezas bien tiradas y las gildas buenas. No volveré
