Taberna de La Daniela Cuchilleros

I had a great experience at Taberna La Daniela Cuchilleros on a Sunday evening. The restaurant wasn’t too full, so I got to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere while sitting at the bar. I ordered callos and croqueta de cocido, and both were absolutely amazing—rich in flavor and perfectly prepared! I also had a beer and vermut, which paired really well with the food. Even though I was by myself, I felt very comfortable and enjoyed the experience. If you’re in Madrid and looking for authentic Spanish flavors, I highly recommend this place!

Good food and service these kind of places ,are all around and they are really great

Service is so bad that it makes the food taste bad. The worse service I have had in a long time. Both of the waiters were super rude. I guess the Callos were “ok” but they didn’t taste good due to the horrible environment inside this place.

After a long stroll through La Latina we found this nice restaurant on the way back to the Plaza Mayor. We ordered patata bravas, blood sausage, the chickpea stew and octopus. Everything tasted delicious and the octopus was perfectly executed. Usually I use salt scarcely in my cooking. Especially the octopus was a little bit too salty for me (but still delicious!). But this is not an issue with this place alone. Like I mentioned I use little salt in general and I had the feeling that the local cuisine in madrid uses more salt than other countries (I visited so far). I just wanted to make clear that this is a personal opinion and I'd still visit the Taberna de La Daniela again. I would probably ask for less salt where it can be avoided. But like I said this means every restaurant we went to during our stay in madrid. Our waiter was friendly and understood englisch without issue. I quite like the ambience because of the traditional setting with the colored tiles and so on. I think we paid around 50 euro for our meal incl Sangria. We had a nice evening and can recommend the place.

We were 3 people and we ordered cocido for one. It was more than enough, as we also ordered ropa vieja and we didn’t finish it. We suggest only ordering cocido for one, as it is an unmissable Madrid experience. So flavorful! Thank you to our waiter Khalid for taking such good care of us!

My favorite restaurant in Madrid! ❤️ I love everything about it. I come to this place whenever I’m in Madrid and I always order the same dish - Secreto Ibérico.

The place just opened when we went in, so they were not busy. However the server didn't bother to explain or ask what we may want, or even present the full menu to us, but just asked if we all want three courses of Cocido. The food had big portions and was very salty. There were a few items that we considered good, but mainly everything was just salty.

The food was delicious but too much for one person. We told the waiter that we were going to share and he said that it was fine, however when the bill arrived they charged for every person, something that truly surprised us! We couldn’t even eat half of the food!!! Very disappointed with the bill

It is safe to say that this place doesn't like tourists. We speak Spanish, and they were still inattentive (to say the least). If you don't understand how to eat the COCIDO properly and how things work, you'll be on your own. Our server, a middle-aged woman, was plain rude and she kept serving our food and walking away. The food is great, it is fabulous. But speaking Spanish as a native speaker is not good enough. You'll look around and see senior Spanish groups everywhere. It's the kind of place where locals go after church. The food is excellent, but I wouldn't go back. What a shame... *** Puedo decir con certeza que a este lugar no le gustan los turistas. Mi familia y yo hablamos español (somos nativos)m y aún así fueron muy poco atentos con nosotros. Si no entiendes cómo comer el COCIDO correctamente, nadie te va a explicar. Nuestra mesera, una señora, nos servía la comida y se iba, visiblemente enojada. La comida es muy buena, pero si no eres español, no te van a querer. A nuestro alrededor había pura gente española grande. Del tipo que va a a comer después de ir a misa. La comida es excelente, pero yo no volvería... una pena...

I loved everything about Taberna de la Daniela. While the food was amazing, the service was even better. We had a party of 10, and our waitresses never kept us waiting for anything. Also, they were super friendly and kept us laughing for the duration of our meal. I think this experience was one of the few times that the service made the food even better. Although I'm not a huge fan of cocido, others at the table constantly mentioned how delicious it was.

Terrible service. If you don't speak perfect Spanish the bar tender will just ignore you. The manager walked by and had to sort things out. I would not recommend this place for Americans. They don't want your business.

TERRIBLE... Worse food in Madrid, we ordered the cod & it was inedible, & the starter was very poor, over priced & terrible food, the service staff were just awful & so unhelpful... AVOID

I don't usually write reviews but this place was amazing and deserved extra effort from me for this review. My girlfriend and I walked in and were immediately seated. The waiter us the Spanish omelette (tortilla), the beef stew de la Daniela, and the salmorejo (tomato bisque). All very delicious, especially the beef stew being a big serving! The omelette was nice and crispy on the outside and hot and smooth on the inside, freshly cooked from the bar. Honestly the omelette and the beef stew would have been enough, but they also gave us a free plate of olives and two rounds of shots! The waiters worked very efficiently and made sure we were happy. We were very satisfied as it was very peaceful and quick. I highly recommend coming to Daniela!!

Visited Madrid back in February. I was searching for the best cocido madrileno dishes in the city and came across La Daniela; I decided to give it a try. I ordered the cocido madrileno, and found out once it came to my table that it was ENORMOUS. The waitress had told me that it easily serves two people, but being super hungry, I thought I could handle it. What I got instead was a feast: noodle soup, a platter of meat assortments with potatoes, vegetables, and chickpeas, and bread to boot. Absolutely insane. Soup was warm and hearty, like chicken noodle soup but more flavorful. Meat platter came with bacon, pork chop, ham, beef, blood sausage, chicken, you name it- so much food! It was amazing that I even finished all of it! Uncomfortably full afterwards, but it was all delicious and I was glad to have tried the local dish. Next time, though, I will definitely share with a friend!

We stopped here for a few bites to hold us over, while waiting for our reservation at Botin next door. A local recommended this place and was very glad they did, as I had one of the more memorable bites at the bar. The bar and the restaurant both serve the same menu, but everything is priced a bit cheaper at the bar. We ordered a few different canapes, each plate consisting of a couple pieces of toasted bread, topped with a variety of tasty bites. My hands down favorite was the Foie Gras topped with caramelized onions and this sweet balsamic reduction. My mouth is just watering thinking about it and it was one of the most memorable bites I had during my entire trip. It was so good we actually ordered a second plate! The next time I'm Madrid, I'm definitely stopping by here again for a bite.

The items on the menu were not clearly described on the English menu. The cocido soup isn't the same as the cocido madrileño. The soup is just a broth. The Ropa Vieja was amazing though. Loved every bite of it

I went here with a tour group for our welcome dinner. The wait staff were very friendly and kept the sangria flowing. We had a chicken pieeya that was good.

If you visit Madrid, particularly in the winter, you do yourself a great disservice by skipping out on Cocido Madrileño, a traditional Spanish stew dating back centuries. There are a few much-vaunted institutions in Madrid known for cocido (e.g., La Bola, Malacatin, etc.), but we didn't feel like waiting or making a reservation so we stopped by Taberna de la Daniela Goya late one evening. The place has a local flair, with linen-topped tables and a ribbon of mosaic tiles snaking around the venue. Our grandfatherly waiter didn't speak any English, but we managed to convey in broken Spanish that we wanted to share two orders of the stew among the four of us. La Daniela serves Cocido Madrileño in three "vuelcos," or spills of the bubbling cauldron of stew, in the "sota, caballo, y rey" (jack, knight, and king) style. First, you're served just the hearty stock with thin little noodles. The salty consommé tasted like a savorier version of chicken noodle soup. Next, they bring you the vegetables: chickpeas, cabbage, and potatoes. The chickpeas are the main attraction as they are the key ingredient of the stew. The greens were soft and fresh, but how amazing can vegetables really be at the end of the day? The last and best course was the plate of meat, which came with a hefty spread of boiled chicken, blood sausage, cured ham, delicious marrow, soft pork belly, tender beef, and more. This final serving was unbelievably good, in addition to being absurdly filling. All four of us were borderline comatose after the feast. The price tag of €26.50 is discouraging until you realize just how much food comes with one order of the cocido. We really enjoyed the meal, and I'm curious to see some other spins on the classic dish next time I visit the city.

Excellent place to eat, great food!! It's a must if you want to try the famous "cocido madrileño" ..... Do not miss
