La Musa Latina

I’d call this place “fill your stomach for an affordable price.” The ambience and service are great, and the portions are quite big , perfect for groups or sharing plates. The food itself is just normal, nothing particularly special, but satisfying. The set menu included five items, mostly average but filling. Overall, it’s a good spot for a casual Spanish experience without spending much.

Cool vibe and delicious!! I was dining alone and I wanted some interesting small-plates, and La Muse Latina fit the bill! Victoria was a big help ordering even though my Spanish and her English weren't perfectly aligned. I had the Japanese grilled eggplant/aubergine (fantastic, loved the dates), the Roja vieja (beef) tacos (very good, with your own sirracha dropper), the mango & Iberian ham salad (good, but a touch too acidic I thought) and... the marinated Iberian pork (amazing, order this! It has a cheese topping and a fantastic sauce. The meat is so tender). It was a lot for 1 person but I managed it. The first beer I had was their IPA, I found it was just a pale ale, but the their double IPA is a solid 7%, nice caramel colour, good bitter flavour, it was very nice. Both are their brews I think. The marinated pork was the standout, if I could take that back to Canada I would! But get the aubergine as well!

We were a group of 4 that came for lunch. We did make reservations but did not need them on a Tuesday at 1:00 pm. We ate indoors. We had the set menu for the day for 15€ with a supplement of €6.50 for the delicious Iberian pork. The meal was delicious and the wine suggested by the server was very good. What a steal for a lovely meal!

Lovely place both to sit inside as outside (as we did). We had a reservation for inside but sitting outside wasn’t a problem this time luckily! Joachim was super helpful with the menu and recommended us how many dishes to take and share, based on the portion sizes. The food was amazing! Paula also served us and was lovely too. Overall would highly recommend!

This is a place you HAVE to go to in Madrid. My fiancé and I had a wonderful time in their downstairs area. It's so beautiful and lively. They had a live singer and a great ambience. The food was also amazing! I loved visiting here and would definitely come back again.

I came for a visit solo this week and it was a rather enjoyable experience. My servers were kind and patient with my very basic level of Spanish and helped me choose from the wide and various menu items. I tried the Orange Vermut and I'm so glad Annie recommended it for me. I then had four wonderful courses, perfectly timed out and all were fantastic. I would absolutely recommend you visiting this gem of a restaurant. Annie, Joaquin and the whole team were super attentive and kind for my visit. Thank you again!

Dear followers and readers, Pay attention: The three star rate is given based on bad service merely, whereas the food was exciting (nice spiciness indeed). What was so bad about the service, do you ask? Well, we don't like to order a dish and wait for it to come until everyone almost finished their whole meal! That's what happened to us in La Musa Latina. We did not receive ANY compensation for this unfortunate incident.

Thank you to the wonderful staff and fantastic food. This was a special find on an extremely hot Madrid day. Inside was cool and welcoming and just what we wanted. La Latina is a great area for a genuine food experience and LA Musa gave us that today. The set menu was perfect and every morsel was full of flavor. We started with the Strawberry Gazpacho, delicious & Zucchini Carpaccio, fresh and peppery We followed that with the Hake & Grilled pork Both beautiful dishes and filling. After a couple more drinks and a rest we finished with the cheesecake and chocolate mousse. We don't speak spainish, but the staff made it easy for us to order and chat, a little bit of Google translate and we were away. The menu is online in English.

ROMAN is an amazing server! He helped me choose the best dish and was extremely sweet and helpful! My experience here at musa was very pleasant and I can't wait to come back!

We found this restaurant on Yelp and oh my god it did not disappoint. Service was excellent and food was just amazingly fresh and tasty. We recommend this to anyone in the area Latina.

This place was amazing. We did the tasting menu which was an amazing deal. Each course was super delicious and you really got to taste a wide variety of different dishes. The ambiance was very lively but not too loud. Service was top notch and super attentive!

Creative tapas that is delicious. Fried Green Tomatoes with goat cheese and fig jam, meatballs stuffed with mozzarella and crispy kale . . . Romantic indoor setting and outdoor tables.

Absolutely awesome food. We tried the prawn baos and fried green tomatoes and both were lovely

The most perfect place to enjoy an outdoor patio on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. We enjoyed the walk to find La Latina Musa and were excited to take a break for some incredibly refreshing drinks and eats. The ceviche was unbelievably fresh and the presentation impressive. We shared the cured salmon (so tasty!) and the fried green tomatoes. I'm still drooling over the meal. You know us women, always checking out the decor and design of the bathrooms - let me just say, La Latina's did not disappoint (as you'll see by my photos). Ladies, you're welcome. The breeze and views made this one of the most peaceful and delicious meals we enjoyed in Spain.

I love the diverse food options. The menu of the day included Pad Thai and creme brûlée. They also serve various other Asian dishes, desserts, smoothies, and sandwiches that all sounded amazing. The decoration is cool and I liked that several people hung out here for hours without the staff minding. The staff themselves weren't super personable, but I would come back for sure.

This restaurant has a nice vibe. Quaint and charming. I loved their Bomba, Tacos and Iberian Pork. Loved their Hot mocha as well

Searching for a calmer place in La Latina on a Saturday afternoon, a group of us wound up here to share a bottle of wine and eat a few snacks. I immediately liked the feeling of the place and loved that we were able to sit after being on our feet all afternoon. We ended up trying a variety of small plates- caprese salad, wild boar, croquettes, dumplings, and the quesadilla. It was all good but nothing mind-blowing. I think that I was a bit miffed though. The service here really struck me as rude and inattentive. To start, we definitely didn't get a warm welcome or pleasurable seating from the hostess. Then, apparently upset and thinking we didn't order enough, our server kept trying to pander more things onto us like burgers and bread. I will admit I was intrigued by their brunch menu but might try out the Malasana location before returning down to this one in hopes of a fuller experience.

We got a wide array of tapas and dessert for 2 for 30 euros. It was amazing! Not sure exactly what we are, just know it all tasted heavenly!

I went here for lunch and ordered Gamboa arroz, and teriyaki sauce. It also came with a drink and pan for only 8.75 euros for lunch. It also came with vegetables and it was delicious. It tasted like stir-fry I'm used to eating in the States! Service was fast, and it's a fun restaurant inside. It's also in a fun, and convenient area of Madrid; short walk to Sol and to Plaza Mayor.

Excellent food and very friendly wait staff. Beautiful atmosphere and wonderful vibe. Food was delicious and very well-priced!!

Cannot fathom the service here. We arrived at 12:40pm and wanted breakfast as they're serving it until 1pm. We finally got serviced and wanted to put our order in, but he was sorry, because it was 1:01pm. "I'm sorry, but we've been waiting for twenty minutes, can you please ask the kitchen?" - and then he got pissed... Then he kept ignoring us on purpose for twenty minutes just walking around cleaning and take other people's orders even though we asked him to come check in with us because we were ready. My friend and I have been in Madrid for four days eating out for every meal and haven't been treated like this before now. I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend this place for any of my fellow travelers. It's simply not worth it if you want to get a good experience out of it.

After a long day walking around Madrid, my friend and I stopped in for tinto de verano and a few beers and tapas. The out door seating is very nice with shaded trees and umbrellas to keep you cool during the heat of July. The fusion of asian and spanish food was nice and the service here was very friendly and fairly prompt. They do charge a slightly higher rate if you eat outdoors, but it's worth it. A homeless old dude came up and asked for money, then took a piss right in plain sight of everyone eating. No one got upset or annoyed. If that happened in NYC, folks would have freaked out more. People here tend to be more relaxed.

I was told this place was really good and I must admit it was so. We had the daily menu for less than 13€. I took tomato and avocado salad as starter, amount was right and taste was good, and grilled "Entraña" (beef) with potatoes au-gratin which were really tasty. The daily menu does not have too many options and it only said one dessert - fortunately they offered up to 5 different options. The location is quite out of hand but it's worth the walk and the service was really friendly, they received us with a smile and were really attentive when ordering the bill or an extra drink. Highly recommended!

Pan Bao & La Bomba are amazing small plates. In fact, everything we tried here is worth a try. Delicious food that stands out in a very restaurant rich city. They also make delicious smoothies in the morning of you are wanting something light and refreshing on a hot summer day.

Everything here was supremely delicious, and unique-tasting. Great variety of flavors involved in the small dishes. The dessert reigned supreme as well. Wonderful dining experience.

This is a wonderful restaurant for young people that want a creative take on tapas-style dining. There is a spanish-asian fusion theme, and we greatly enjoy going here. I highly recommend the cauliflower, as it comes with pomegranate seeds and an amazing sauce. The shrimp and avocado tempura is also very good. Very cool environment, friendly staff, highly recommend in the la latina area.

Wonderful place for a fancy night out of tapas Be sure to try out the variety course of option they have for two people We split it among the four of us and it was still filling There were three courses in total including delish desserts :))

Food and service is good. We had a "bomba", the croquetas, fried rice and the mini burgers. All were really good. My onlly complaint is the lack of staff in the outdoor area and the 10% surcharge for eating in the terrace.

This place was great! The dining area outside was just lively enough, and the waiters were fantastic. They didn't act like they minded my broken spanish, which is all I can ask for. I had the tacos and the croquette 2.0, both of which were great. The taco had SO MUCH guacamole, more than you'd ever get in the US. The wine was also delicious.

One of my favorite places to eat in Madrid. Try the bomba!

Had a great set course lunch. Wonderful service, relaxed and charming atmosphere. Really surprised this place doesn't have higher ratings.
