Restaurante La Chata

The food was great, the place looked great, I had to read the other reviews to know why this place has 3.5 stars but it was mainly about the service. Which its right it has some delays and maybe cannot acommodate a big group of people. But other than that for a one time dinner with friends its a good place to eat when you visit Madrid. We just ealked on the street and liked how it looked from the outside and it was great on the inside also. So for us it was great.

I went there 2 times and both times I had a great time. Tap vermouth is really good quality, their foods are also great. Tried Pimienton de Padron, Patatas bravas, Morcilla and Calamares and they had great quality!(I don t understand why this place have only 3,5stars)

We stumbled upon this tapas place while casually strolling on the street. Sure enough, we did make a great choice. Not only Vermouth and sangria were top notch, tapas were good as well. I highly recommend this place. Patata Bravas is must !

Love this place for its delicious olives and tapas, and of course it’s traditional decor. Alway a nice tapas or olive when you order drinks (as most restaurants do in Spain). We were here twice during our stay in Madrid. 20230706.

Some places try too hard. They faff about with deconstructed patatas bravas, drizzle balsamic reduction over everything, and serve you tapas on a slate like it’s a GCSE art project. La Chata is not one of those places. It’s a proper Madrid tapas joint, on a proper tapas street, doing exactly what you want it to do—pouring cold beer, serving great food, and letting the atmosphere take care of itself. The Padrón peppers arrived glistening with olive oil and a dusting of coarse salt, blistered to perfection. One in every ten has a surprise kick, but that’s half the fun—like culinary Russian roulette, but the worst outcome is just reaching for another drink. The noise of chatter and clinking glasses fills the air, conversation flows, and for a brief, glorious moment, I almost felt Spanish. No pretension, no gimmicks—just beer, food, and the kind of effortless conviviality that Madrid does so well. What more do you want?

This was a great place to start our journey through tapas in Madrid. Excellent value and very tasty food and Sangria. Engaging atmosphere inside with an eye catching mural on the street to draw you in.

Went in here on a whim with my friend. We thought the food and atmosphere was great. It was a little loud, but we didn’t mind that. The food was really good and the workers were very friendly. The crab croquettas are to die for. Bravas were also good. We got the aubergine with tempura also, which we didn’t like. It was too sweet and lacked seasoning. However, all in all it was a great meal and we enjoyed.

What an adorable authentic spot! Definitely go try it!generous portions and definitely do not miss the octopus!

Great tapas. Potatoes, calamari, bell pepper, toasts, were all great. We came in real late at night and they still accommodated well. Food cans out timely. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Busy!! One of the few bars that was still up and busy at midnight on a weekday. We shared some cheap beers and appetizers. This is one of those non-hipster bars that does the typical Spanish tapas (salty peppers, croquetas) The staff are nice! It's fairly clean. And you throw your garbage to the ground like a typical Spanish person at a bar (it's true!!) The food was good. Good place! Vanesa R. took me here, thank you!!!

Very good food at great value. Bright, clean, authentic --- good service & they deliver the standards well. Calamari, Lamb Chops, Salmon Toast, Rice Pudding --- all on target, served with heart & pride.
