“ Love love love this place! This was not priority on our list but we just happened to pass by while walking towards the metro stop, and we were hungry, so we queued. Soon enough we were standing at the bar, cerveca in one hand and an oyster in the other! The ambiance here is dynamic, the aervice quick, the food amazing. The softest shrimp a la plancha i ever had! Fresh oysters, boquerones and anchovies with vinegar on a fresh tomato salad was a killer, the Cigales (langoustines) were pricey and not much meat on them (although really good), would have preferred another round of gambas! But overall, had the best seafood in madrid right there. The people behind the counter work fast and deliver the goods. The space is all standing, crowded, elbow to elbow and it was an amazing experience. ”

“ Visited here 15/11/2024 We had this place recommend to us by Madrileños. We got here early before the 7.30 p.m. opening wishing not to miss out. We were 1st in & were lucky that the local couple who came in behind us kindly gave up their reserved table to us. I had local vermouth, which was excellent, & my wife had the El Aguila cerveza. To eat we had tomato salad, gambas a la plancha & merluza con gambas! All were excellent. The place was vibrant, busy & noisey with locals & tourists mixing together. I would highly recommend this as great place to visit. ”

“ Amazing place! Delicious fresh seafood and really friendly staff ”

“ Read the reviews, and tried this very popular place on a sat night. Waited for a table, got a stand up counter... And the Atmosphere was buzzing, service efficient and quick, and in English too. As a foodie, I know my Seafood... This was fresh, value for Money and an awesome experience, not comparable to other run of mill tapas bars. ”

“ I didn't see anyone talking about their menu so let me elaborate. It was abit confusing reading reviews because there's kind of 2 menus. One is the tapas plates that are portioned alr. Then there's the seafood menu where everything is priced per 100g. Now what's confusing is that there's seafood in the portioned menu as well In particular, what they're most famous for is their Gambas plancha which is portioned, for 4 per portion of 5 pieces. They also do other ala carte prawns, for example tiger prawns and Gambas Rojas(red prawns) They are very busy even on weekdays, the place was almost 80% filled within 10mins(seems like a lot of regulars) I heard this is one of the best anchovies and I have to say it was very firm, and the vinegar was sharp. Nothing was too overwhelming, and the fishiness was reasonable esp when eaten with the olives. However for someone not used to eating these fishy things it's quite difficult to finish one plate by myself The Gambas plancha is what makes them legendary. It's seriously good, some of the prawn head almost tasted like carabinero head. (Although some other pieces of head didn't taste good). The prawn was super tender, with a slight bite and an intense smokiness. There's this particular aroma of salt and smoke which was super heady when people start ordering more and more since the whole restaurant smells like it. The combination of the head and the salt and the smokiness makes this insane. Ask for less salt though, they're abit too generous with the salt. The bamboo clams were superb too. Super fresh, giving that tender crunchy bite. Drizzled with parsley garlic olive oil which was potent too One for the books. It's a must try ”

“ Amazing place, Cousy and true vibes. The waiter Ruan was amaaaaazing to me and my girlsfriend! I truly recommend! ”

“ A really authentic Spanish tavern / tapas bar with a focus on fresh good fish. Really nice atmosphere. Be prepared to stand at the bar, there are limited spaces for sitting. The hake as well as the various shrimps have been really good. The service was super friendly and helpful as well. ”

“ I’ve been to this seafood gem in Lavapiés several times, and it never disappoints. The food is incredibly fresh, grilled to perfection, and you can tell it’s all about quality ingredients. The service is super friendly and personal—it’s run by the owners themselves, which makes the experience even more special. It’s always busy, which gives the place a cool and lively vibe, perfect for catching up with friends. This time, I didn’t even hesitate and went straight for my usual: the salad. The flavor of the tomatoes, anchovies, and boquerones is just insane—so simple yet so delicious. I also had the hake with shrimp, cooked to order, and it was absolutely amazing. If you love fresh seafood and a laid-back, vibrant atmosphere, this place is a must! ”
