It’s a historical tapas bar opened since 1827. Fully decorated with old paintings and pictures. The ambiance is vibrant and local. Nothing fancy but you feel truly Spanish I ordered mussels and pepper-stuffed seafood. The flavour is great. I appreciate how they season and make the food magical The staff doesn’t speak much English but I had no problem ordering food. they are friendly and the service is so professional! They remain efficiency despite it was as busy as a battle during rush hours They have many tapas on the shelf that I can order directly because I was at a standing space at the bar. If you want to sit at a table, there’s always a long queue. Be well-prepared not to wait until you are already hungry. come here earlier and prepare for queuing *went back again and received the same warmth hospitality! I tried Russian salad and the stuffed pepper as last time, the same great experience as last time Casa Alberto, a Madrid icon of food serving classics at competitive prices. The Rabo de toro is hearty and melts in your mouth coated in a silky sauce packed with flavor and a bit of spiciness for the perfect kick, this is an absolute must if it’s the first time you visit. The accompanying french fries are also great and homemade. The langostillos al ajillo come to your table sizzling and be ready because they don’t skimp on the garlic, a simple dish but still with lots of depth and flavor. Service is friendly and straightforward The place is amazing, it takes you back in time and has is typically local place. The bartender was very welcoming and easy to order a drink to. We drank a vermouth around the corner. The food from starter to the main course was very delicious. You van order the usual meal that most of the people eat around there (pic meal) and is simply amazing.

As good as it gets. Oxtail, croquettes, freqshly baked bolillo bread and gambas al ajillo perfectly executed. The place has a Castizo old Madrid legacy vibe. Spanish locals plus savy tourists. If you know you know.

Delicious! Great service, iconic atmosphere. I felt honored to eat there. Sangria was lovely, tomatoes perfection. Pork chops- with apples and onions- every bite heavenly. The people are so kind and gracious, and accommodating to my lack of Spanish speaking skills. ❤️
