Baco y Beto, Taberna

First meal after landing in Madrid. And it was absolutely amazing! 🥹 we pretty much ordered the whole menu. My favourite were the Havana beef with plantain (defs get the full for this) and the Iberian pork with bitter orange sauce (taste way better than it sounds). The other dishes we ordered were also really good - the cassava cerviche, octopus, Spanish cured meat, fried mushroom and eggplant parmigiana. 100% worth the money!

We ordered a lot, overall it was very tasty. Eggplant Parmesan- 9/10 Breaded mushrooms - 2/10, the truffle sauce was 5/10 which carried the dish. Grilled octopus- 5/10 Havana shredded beef- 8/10 Iberian pork tenderloin- 9.5/10 Acorn fed Spanish cured ham - 5/10 Also got a t-bone steak burger but it felt more like a smashed burger. 5/10

The atmosphere is very intimate and familiar and less on the cozy side. The perfect place to start a date or a dinner with a friend. I wouldn’t recommend for bigger groups as the seating is limited, but if you want to book in advance, the reservation process was very easy and smooth. The food is made with care and love and served super hot, the hospitality is good, I would recommend for the lovers of tapas and good spanish dishes. I would definitely come back again.

Nice neighborhood bar/restaurant with good food. We had the Setas (mushroom) delicious, followed by homemade (really !) in several variations. At last we had the Pulpo, yummy. The three raciones where for two more than enough if you feel a normal hunger.

TLDR - An absolute gem!!! We were lucky to have the special dish of the day - Puerto Rican rice with fried pork, and the roast veggies is a must order. If we were locals this is the place we would visit often!

Get ready to be wowed by this little hidden gem! The tapas were absolutely outstanding, and if you’re feeling adventurous, I highly, highly recommend the Ropa Vieja Habanera with tostones (fried plantain). As a Cuban, ropa vieja is one of our staple dishes — and I can honestly say Baco & Beto’s version is one of the tastiest I’ve had in a long time (second only to my mother’s!). Don’t skip dessert either — the mascarpone cheese cream with mango is simply divine. Tucked right in the heart of Chueca, this taberna is a definite must-visit!

Absolutely perfect Tapas! It was the best tapas restaurant I've ever had. Love your cozy vibe and awesome cuisine🫰
