hey nomi, i also second what Candela says about la mordida. i have only been there once as it is quite a bit more expensive than la panza es primero but they seemed to have more on the menu than the panza did. saludos, jer...

Great Mexican food and good value? "Al Todo Mexico", a few blocks from Plaza Espana is probably the best Mexican restaurant I've been to. Not flash in any way, just good food, good service, kick ass margaritas and a simple, authentic formula. I can't wait to get back there again, but the missus has got us both on a diet......

I second La Mordida! La Panza es Primero is ok, the ambiance is fun, but I've had issues with them overcharging me on two occasions, so I kinda stopped going. Another place I like is Las Mananitas on Fuencarral near <m> tribunal. There's also "El Rey del Barrio" on one of those little streets that connects Fuencarral with Hotaleza - not farmacia, but near there. It's good too, and not as crowded as La Panza... Have fun! |

Oooo... looks like I'm gonna have to disagree with someone. Sorry, boom_shaka, but La Mananitas on Fuencarral is one place that I have ready for the "places NOT to go in Madrid" file that Jer is preparing. Right along with "VIPS" and "GINOS". Okay, it wasn't really expensive, but for the quality of the food it was not good value either. The food reminded me of the frozen meals you can buy in alfoil trays at the supermarket, in the same way as the lasagne at Gino's did. The margaritas came from a slushy machine, and tasted like slushies, but at four times the price. The service was unfriendly. But besides that, it was okay  We live just a block or two away from there, and were disappointed to have to rule La Mananitas out for future visits. We'll definitely give La Mordida a try one day, but for the moment I'm drooling to get back to Al Todo Mexico. No really, I mean I am literally drooling.... Cheers, Steve

P.S. Al Todo Mexico was SO GOOD that when they undercharged me by two margaritas, I couldn't help but bring it to their attention. They then replied in kind with a couple of free cocktails for our honesty. I love a happy ending  Steve
