We were delighted to find Taberna Elisa right next door to our apartment for a week in Madrid. The atmosphere is authentic, the food exceptional and the staff friendly. What more can you ask for.
I would say this should be a go to in Madrid. The food was excellent & affordable. We loved the appetizer mushroom w quail egg and the prawns were so yummy. The octopus was sooooo delish. We sat at the newer restaurant (more spacious) and if you walk 10 steps downhill, you will find the original restaurant (a bit warmer) but you will see it's very authentic!
Very cozy tapas bar that seem to be getting more popular with tourists. We enjoyed sitting on the original side, and overflow is sent to the other side. Food is really good, and innovative. We also really enjoyed the decor. The servers don't speak English but we managed to get by with a little Spanish and some gestured and google translate. Recommend the patatas bravas (red sauce is good), secreto joselito, and the stuffed mushrooms. The snails tasted over cooked, because it was a bit mushy instead of chewy. Everything is very rich, but fortunately they serve you bread. The free chicharrón (fried crispy pork rinds) were also delicious.

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
