El Chaparrito

Very nice service and very good food my husband and I were walking around buying souvenirs and we found this small little place thAt come to find out was really good the huarache is a must to have and the salsa of course. Great service too he made us feel like home didnt get his name but he was Peruvian but he talked to us Mexican maybe tht made us feel comfy.

Vas a una celebración de cumple de una amiga y no te esperas encontrar en pleno centro de Madrid, un mexicano de tal calibre en cuanto calidad-​precio. De acuerdo, no esperes un mexicano de alta cocina porque aqui lo que vas comer está rico pero sin precios desorbitados, pero diferente a otros mexicanos en los que he estado.
Pedimos miles de platos porque eramos tutiplen y es difícil recordar todos, pero pedimos los típicos platos de la gastronomía mexicana, esto es, cocinita pibil, guacamole muy rico, fajitas con verduras y carnes, flautas… miles de cosas, que acabamos hasta reventar añadiendo varias coronitas y tropecientas de margaritas.
Tienen ofertas tipo 4 coronitas+nachos con guacamole po 10 €, y menús diarios, sin duda, si estoy por el centro se que me puedo pasar por aquí sin dejarme un pastizal y comiendo bien. Añadir que el sitio es chiquito, aceptan reservas y grupos semigrandes (cupimos 13 personas) con una decoración colorida y máscaras y figuras de esqueletitos típicos de México.

I enjoy Mexican food in many different forms — cheap food truck tacos, carb-​loaded Cali burritos, trashy Tex-​Mex — but when you find really authentic Mexican it stands out above all of those. And this little restaurant really does feel authentic!
We went for dinner on a friend’s recommendation. It was hot in Madrid, very hot, and as I walked in I needed a cold beer badly. To my delight, the bartender planted a frosty Negro Modelo right in front of me. This is not a beer I’ve found frequently here. He also had regular Modelo and a couple of other import lagers back there, plus a full bar selection. For imports, the prices were reasonable (3 Euros).
From the outside, this place looks like a little taco stand, but it goes a long way back and is nice and cool at the far end. We grabbed a table and began to inspect the menu. To my (non-​Mexican, I will admit) eyes, there seemed to be a lot of pretty authentic dishes on there. We ended up having some really rich mole, a nopales salad, plus some soft chicken tacos, guacamole and the usual types of sides. The food is served more in a restaurant-​style — you order a plate of four tacos rather than one-​by-​one. All were great, and unlike a lot of other Mexican joints in Madrid, the hot sauce was hot. Not insanely, but you could genuinely detect chili in there. All of this was washed down by some tasty micheladas.
The service was friendly, but unfortunately rather slow, which stops me from giving a higher rating. And the bill was around 23 Euros a head including drinks, which I was happy to pay for the quality of food. All in all, if you need Mexican, I definitely recommend this place.

Para empezar estás aquí mejor que en cualquier franquicia típica tomándote un cubo, ofertón: cuatro coronitas y media ración de nachos con queso y guacamole 10 €.
Para que no parezca que sólo sirve para venir a comer al mediodía entre semana ;)
Al tema: maravilloso menú del día, que es de lo que básicamente puedo hablar y a lo que yo he ido.
Variados primeros y segundos a elegir, en dos ocasiones fui con 4 amigos y pedimos un poco de todo para compartir y probar, todo estaba realmente bueno, sabroso, y las cantidades eran muy correctas. Salimos medio rodando, y super contentos con el descubrimiento del menú la primera vez lo que hizo que tardásemos poco en volver a juntarnos a las pocas semanas para volver.
Nachos con salsas mientras esperas la comida.
Y nunca nos han cobrado las tortillas extra!
