Tapas beer y vinos

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

Taverna Baco y Beto is a delightful spot that combines charm, great food, and friendly service.

A weekend in Madrid, away from Paris, and what a lovely city... a relaxed and chilled atmosphere for eating and drinking and wandering around, and the temperature a few degrees warmer too. My pal Peter moved here about 7 years ago, and so introduced me to one of his favourite tapas places, Baco y Beto. It was a great meal: a twist on the traditional, nice service and delicious wine (of course, we were in Spain). Located on a fun, bustling street, there's good vibes in and out of here. I thought the tempura fish, with squid ink was unusual and interesting. The fancy mushrooms, deep fried, was tasty; and the pork dish was also very delicious. We went a bit early, so it was quiet and relaxed. Not too bustling. Recommended.

The food was absolutely delicious! The service was impeccable. The owner plays a big part in his restaurant. He was so kind and attentive. Would highly recommend!

We had a fantastic dinner at this restaurant. My friend found it difficult to find good vegetarian options in Madrid, but Baco y Beto had loads of options for him (which I had too and they were all delicious) and our server was intent on making sure everything was to our liking. The plantain with guacamole and fried mushrooms with truffle were especially good. Only issue was that the wine they gave us was of a different vintage than the bottle we selected on the menu, but it was still good. Would definitely go back -- no question!!

I really wanted to like this place, but the food and service fell short of the 4+ stars I saw in earlier reviews. The menu is fairly small and we ordered 4 to 5 plates. The grilled vegetables we ordered were a bit soggy (eggplant was mushy) and there was a porridge dish that was a bit like (room temperature) baby food. The gentlemen that was serving us seemed very nice. It seems other reviewers liked the food here,but for myself it was a bit of a bust!

Beto is a real gentleman, even with the language barrier he made me feel very at home eating solo at the bar. The food was really great, interesting flavors, good variety of textures, interesting combinations- everything you want from a dining experience.

[Rating based on our one visit.] Visited late one night with my wife and sister-in-law. We had, I believe, 3 excellent tapas. The recommended wines were good and appropriate to the food. The owner was very friendly and in a very polite manner. Eventually we got to talking (I can just about manage to manage in Spanish) even getting into US politics. Sometime during the conversation he brought out the remainder of the bottle of wine, gratis. Not sure why yelp shows this as €€€. It wasn't expensive.

We had a very poor evening here -- indifferent, slow service and poorly executed tapas.

Was one of our favorite tapas bars. I love that you can order 1/2 portions so you can try everything! They serve chilled red wine which we thought was very interesting, but paired so well with their manchego cheese plate. Must try the eggplant parmesan!

Ok, if my review was for the cava, it would be a solid a-ok. But! I ordered the salad while my fellow diners had several large, cooked tapas. How soon did my salad arrive, you ask? This thing that required absolutely no heat at all? Well after my friends had finished all of their food. No quiero, at that point. If a restaurant makes me cry with hunger and frustration (after 2 glasses of delicious cava, no less!), it gets one star. For the 2.70€ cava. Minus ten stars for the crying hunger fit I threw.

Saw this place mentioned in many guides and online so we gave it a shot. Meh. No one was there. Portions large but lacks energy and vibe. You can do better in Madrid.

The food, the food the food. All was really good, amazing tapas, superb service from the staff, good prices and chill out music with amazing light level that allows a good conversation among the guests. It was my first try of Tapas visiting Madrid and I couldn't choose better. Also they have the kitchen open at very late at night. A must visit if you are in the area.

So it was just after the three kings parade on January 5th. We were in a good position for the fireworks and beautiful soundtrack and our hearts were all opened. There was a massive crowd in Plaza Cybele and so we thought Chueca would be a better bet for dinner. We saw the reviews and knew it would be good but the exterior did not show much promise. It looked pretty prosaic. I was reminded of the bar in Sartre's nausea where the man pinned his hand to the table with a knife. So we walked on to the other recommendation on this street. It was less appealing mostly due to the clientele. It was too late to look for more places so we headed back to Baco y Beto. We walked inside and there was no-one behind the bar. A few diners including a couple who seemed to be in the midst of a difficult course of psychotherapy. But we were here. Even if they served us gristle croquettes this was it. We edged ourselves closer to a table. The maitre'd appeared and ushered us to a table near the troubled couple. They really must have been troubled because they were almost finished with their meal and how anyone could not be completely filled with the joy of life after a meal like that is beyond me. My two daughters ordered an open burger which was lovely and my wife and I had a salad of succulent spinach leaves combined with pomegranate seeds grapes and small yellow tomatoes. It was sumptuous. We ordered the breaded mushrooms in a truffle aioli sauce and the Iberian pork with potato. We had a Rioja red which was lovely and the mushrooms were crunchy and delicious but the pork! The pork was the best I have ever had. It was so perfectly cooked! So tender! It was bathed in a sauce of garlic, cumin, salt, oil and goodness knows what but it was so sublime. It was almost too much. First the fireworks which gave me that beautiful pleasure of knowing that not only was I enjoying this but also my daughters were having a spectacularly memorable experience and now this! It was so lovely! I hope that the radiance of the pleasure we felt that night somehow assisted that other couple. We were bristling with ecstasy! It was one of those nights that make travelling so rich an experience. It's a great restaurant!
