Restaurante Casa Paco

We love this place. The large 14-16oz filet is excellent. I was told they have a specialty meat source. It's small with otherwise conventional fare. Don't accidentally walk by.

The worst restaurant we've ever visited. Terrible, disinterested service, slamming plates on the table. For five people, we received one plate of patatas braaf right out of the microwave a small bowl of wilted salad, warm wine, and raw solemio steak. €285, which wasn't even worth half that. Dried-out bread, which was already on the table without asking, cost another €10. Never again!

Worst experience I've had in years. Terrible service that started with a wine glass that had lipstick on it and went down hill from there. No wifi, no English menus, waiter who tells you just to order steak, they charge you for potatoes that were supposed to come with a 34 euro steak (and for bread that we didn't order). when asked for ketchup or Mayo, we were told they don't have any... We ended up there because of name mixup, should've walked out when seeing storage & clutter inside the restaurant, but stuck it out thinking this was the restaurant recommended by friends. *avoid at all costs!

Bad service. Avoid. We could've done better in Madrid. Too bad we were here for just two days. Very few options (per the waiter).. and we heard "no" the whole dinner from both the waiter and the manager.

How can there be no ratings? This is a very old and wonderful restaurant. My wife came her as a child 52 years ago. Steaks, chops, and other meat, veggies and traditional Spanish fare simply but brilliantly done. Highly recommended.

Expensive. Just one menu option not worth the price. We ordered 2 main course and the main dish in the menu was broken eggs(fried eggs with French fries) and ratatouille(hardly any vegetables tasted mainly sweet onions). Pic attached.

The service was good, the food was pretty good though not stellar. A little pricy, €40-50 per person. I ordered a half bottle of Rioja wine, and a steak, which is Galician, the best beef in Spain. The steak is cooked to medium and served on a hot plate, so that you can cook it more to your liking. It was an interesting experience.

The restaurant was welcoming and easily accommodated our group. Our server—the owner's grandson—was patient and friendly. I had la paella, which was smaller than expected but full of flavor.

Fuimos tres parejas a cenar. De entrada ordenamos jamón ibérico, queso y morcilla fritas. El jamón estuvo muy bueno, el queso que nos dieron fue blue cheese el cual estaba bueno pero no ha todos en el grupo le gusta ese tipo de queso. La decepción fue las morcillas las cuales aparentaban estar recalentadas y no eran de arroz, que son las que preferimos. Cada pareja ordenamos el solomillo para dos personas. El mismo viene acompañado con patatas fritas y pimientos morrones. El plato estuvo exquisito. Encuentro que los precios están un poco altos.

Haven't been here in 25 years. Just like I remember. Solomillo is the way to go. 25 years ago if there was a Yelp it would have rated 5 stars and today it still is 5 stars.

Casa Paco is known for their steaks. Having just eaten at Botin (http://www.yelp.com/biz/botin-madrid-2#hrid:yfSdOj4X_3Qr--D3OcWtmQ), we didn't partake and just hung out at the bar. Very upbeat atmosphere and friendly bartenders. When I asked about what he was pouring for another group he gave us a shot to try. Free booze to increase your tips? Hey, it worked on us.

We had an amazing experience there. Customer service was amazing and the food was just as amazing. Everything came out in a timely manner hot and fresh. Highly recommend if someone is looking for a good Filipino restaurant.

Old, traditional and Rustic Castilian "tavern". Serving the best of Madrid's local meat (ox) steaks since the 1950's, Casa Paco is the place to go if you are a steak lover. There is a traditional bar with drinks and tapas but if you dine, try and get a table upstairs especially if you want a more intimate setting. Disregard the outdated decor and admire the walls covered with lots of pictures of spanish and international celebrities alike- you may be surprised to see some familiar faces. We ordered a wonderful bottle of Rioja, some white herring tapas and cheese plate for appetizers, and ordered the Ox by the kilo! Steaks come out cooked to perfection on sizzling plates (seriously) so be careful, don't touch! Papas Fritas on the side- thick cut steak house fries perfectly golden and crispy on the outside. Waitstaff a bit stern and aloof but eventually warmed up come time for the apertivo shots! For an authentic Spanish steakhouse experience that you're sure not going to get in the US and dine on local ox, Casa Paco is the place to go!

I love it. Been going there since the sixties. kilo steaks on finger burning plates. Roast potatoes. Fresh tomato's. Strawberries smothered with yellow whipped cream. And in season baby eels. Not elegant but real including the dignified daughter of the founder.

A disappointment. The gazpacho almost certainly came out of a cardboard box and lacked the guarnición one would expect from an establishment of this repute. Moreover, the tortilla was hard and tasteless. An expensive mistake, should be avoided.

do it if you can.... It offers very gooood quality meat; like the one you can in the States . But From local cows. Not so much in Spain. Ok to go at least once . Check!

We also read about this place in our Spain guidebook. It took us a while to find it, but we finally did and were seated in a nice little dining area where other Spaniards and foreigners were enjoying dinner. The buey had been recommended (you order it by the kilo, half kilo is what my husband got) and I ordered a fish dish. The size was good on both items (obviously half a kilo is a lot), but my fish lacked in creativity and flavor - it was bland and plain. It didn't help that my side was an iceberg lettuce 'salad' (a personal pet peeve of mine is to call iceberg lettuce 'green salad') and a baked potato that was tasty, but plain. The buey he ordered was delicious, perfectly cooked and I did have to sneak a few bites from his because it was more interesting than mine. In short, perhaps overpriced for bland food and bland service... but the restaurant is nice inside, lots of bullfighting pictures and such.

It's not a charming restaurant at all. We were disappointed. The waiters are not friendly. The food was not good but we finished the plates. I missed the art part of cooking. Never again.

Amazing steaks in a traditional rustic setting. Not the cheapest place to eat but paying a bit more is worth it. Even the house Rioja was a 6 year old Reserva! Excellent!

We tried this restaurant based on our 'New Europe' tour guide's recommendation. She told us a story of her grandfather taking her to the nearby market every week as a child, walking past Casa Paco and pointing it out telling her when she was older she needed to go there, cause they had the best meat from happy cows (those raised in the countryside). We ordered a variety of meats - suckling lamb (falling off the bone - yum!), ox steak (delicious) and veal (so tender). Overall a very good meal at a decent price.
