La Casa del Abuelo

Enjoying Tapas at La Casa del Abuelo was a very memorable and amazing experience🇪🇸❤️💯 The dining al fresco with all the people watching in the perfect weather was amazing. The patio area was so nice to enjoy just sitting and eating for hours. We had the Gambas Al Ajillo (their signature dish) and it was perfect! They have been making this dish for more than 100 years and it shows! The shrimp were perfect. Paired with a little vermout and some Spanish white wine this was an experience I will enjoy for years to come.

La Casa del Abuelo surely a very popular place for locals and tourist to go. As I sat there so many locals eating their Tapas and enjoying themselves. I went there for the shrimp. I was disappointed with the price €18.50. I’m sorry that was too expensive for you and I had to go around the corner to find one for €14. But I have to say that the quality looks pretty good, but the price for me was yo no! Now they have two locations just across the street from one another, and you can see the action and the vibration is a little bit higher there with the workers shouting out to one another sitting people down. You can see in the main location how they prepare the food if you want. They have these funny little tables in the middle of the room where you can place your food and drinks and stand and eat if you like Also seems like a place where locals come eat a bit drink and have a chat. For me, it’s like a local scene bar from the city To be honest with you, I just sat and had a beer and felt the vibration and had a nice time, but was disappointed that I could not try their shrimp thing because of the cost. Hopefully this review will give you a good idea of the location if you’re not worried about money go have a good time. The service just a snappy as it can be. I do recommend this place, but I warn you is expensive

We stopped for for a glass of the house wine, La Vino del Abuelo. It was a very fun vibe inside with lots of energy from the staff. We didn't order the house speciaty, garlic shrimp because even though they looked delicious, the price was quite high (18.50 euros).

Service was excellent! We tried their garlic shrimp, and the shrimps were incredibly sweet and fresh. The bread was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside, amazing when dipped into the olive oil from the shrimp. We also tried their homemade wine along with the regular wine; the homemade one was sweeter and paired nicely with the food. Highly recommended!

Maybe on the pricier side, but definitely one of the best things I had in Spain. From Canada! (4.5/5) I came here with my friend while we were tapas hopping and we stumbled upon this place. We ordered their ajillo (kind of like a garlic butter shrimp) and a couple shots of vermouth. The total bill came to 32 euros for two (receipt attached). It was mindblowing how delicious the ajillo was. There is soooo much garlic and buttery goodness infused with the shrimp, and it make each bite so savory. I used the bread to literally eat up all the sauce and make sure there was nothing left. The service was subpar, but I think it is worth it just to come for the ajillo and the atmosphere (it is very close to the city center). Highly recommend!

Came here for tapas and a concert broke out! Great atmosphere, lively bar. The waiters are very friendly, helpful, and also get in on the music! Tapas are very tasty and drinks are refreshing.

This bar is famous in Madrid because it has been around forever (OK, not forever but for over 100 years). We sat outside, they have properties on both sides of the road. The staff were efficient, hard working but very polite and welcoming. The bar is famous for the garlic prawns, honestly you better like garlic as you can smell them from half way down the street. Absolutely delicious. A really nice way to spend a bit of time in the afternoon with a couple of beers, some prawns and bread and watch the world go by.

Nice but no more than that, sorry. We tried garlic shrimp, although it was fresh but very small and not very well cleaned. Also I'm not a big fan of so much melted butter, but it's individual.
