La Cocina del Bizco

A lively place for casual spanish food. The classics like the tortilla and croquetas are done very well. Their selection of tinned fish are also pretty decent, the toast theyre served on could be less toasted, though. Everything that was ordered surpassed expectations except for the artichoke, which was good but nothing to write home about. The ambiance is lively like the decor. The place fills up fast, so go early or make a reservation. Price range is higher than you'd expect.

Overall, good food and good vibes. We ordered (translated) the cheese plate (pictured below), potato tart, iberico, cheese and truffle sandwich, the duck with risotto, and a salad and everything was fabulous. The food is Spanish tapas style so admittedly, it’s more expensive than if you were ordering entrees, as tends to be the case with tapas. In looking around, all the food we saw looked delicious and we may be back soon to try more items on the menu. As well, we were seated exactly at our reservation time - always appreciated. It’s super loud in the restaurant so I wouldn’t recommend it for a group larger than 4 - you won’t be able to hear yourselves. As well, it didn’t appear that any staff spoke English so if you don’t speak Spanish, you’ll have to struggle thru the menu yourself.

We tried patatas bravas (good), pan tomate (good), lengua (very good), lentejas (very good) arroz mieloso with duck and fungi (duck was very dry, the rice was good), grilled chicken (basic but good, though it was more fried than grilled), and finally tarta vasca (good, I was expecting great). Service was very bad, we always had to call the waiter, he never came by himself. Also when we ordered a mezcal, it came with sliced oranges, and they were rotten, so we asked for another ones and he was really anoyed by it.

Truly an Spanish tavern! Amazing food & great drinks from the Traditional caña beer,to the tinto de verano & draft vermu,we try the ibérico montaditos,lengua,rabo de toro,olives,oysters everything was really good & tasty ,thank you to Joel our bar server was the best with suggestions! Definitely worths the wait!

Be careful - the waiters will offer you house specials … then your “special” bill will be more than 5 times the cost of any other plates on the menu. So make sure to ask for the cost …. We did not and were given a single ordinary sized fish to split with peppers…and then we were charged $2000 for it. We explained our surprise and dismay at being taken advantage of, yet management was non-responsive and dismissive. So not a great experience. Food was good and atmosphere fun, other than that unfortunate treatment.

Definitely a very nice and good, truly Spanish food place. Menu is pretty decent, more than enough options to choose from. Drink options are also pretty good. Portions are quite decent and price is OK for the type of food. Staff is very friendly and professional. I highly recommended booking in advance, as it gets pretty busy, and waiting times are long both totally worth the wait.

The food is excellent, they offer basics as tortilla de patatas which is perfectly soft and right potatoes texture. The huevos rotos with ibérico could have been espectacular. The lentils and chuletón… amazing 💥 Regarding the service, you need to keep an eye on the staff if you want them to clean your table or to order something else. The wine prices are quite reasonable especially compared to other restaurants where wine prices have become excessive. Visually, the restaurant is full of interesting details to take in. Has a bit of a noisy atmosphere leading to a quick turnover of tables but A great music selection.

You feel in a tapas bar in Madrid, for sure. The food is good, but the service is the area to improve. Regarding the food, stick to tapas, that's their strong suit. Avoid this place if you want a 🥘
