Olde Madrid

This is a place I frequent quite a bit usually for dinner. I met up with a friend for lunch here and we ordered the Maria’s beef stew, gluten-free, almond meatballs, tangerine olives,papas romeras, and muscles à la Catalina. I was a little bit disappointed this time around with the items that we ordered. The stew was a little bit bland and needed salt and other flavor. It was not as savory as it typically is. This is sometimes an issue that I find with this restaurant. The food can be inconsistent. The almond meatballs were very tasty. We ordered those gluten-free. We also have the tangerine olives. I did not like the olives they had a bitter taste from what I am assuming was the rind of the tangerines. It was also listed as a cold item and it came hot so I was a little off putt by that. The potatoes were my favorite thing that we ordered. They were cooked very well nice and crispy and well drained of oil. The muscles were cooked well, but the sauce that it came in was very different than I had ever tasted it. It was a dark caramel color and it was overwhelmingly sweet.

What a gem?! It's almost as if they didn't get the memo on inflation because the food is very reasonably priced for the quality. Great spot for gluten conscious people, the cherry chicken is a must try!

Delicious food, everything we have tried is wonderful. Plates are generous and the items are creative. Gluten free and vegetarian items are marked on the menu. Grilled vegetable salad is amazing.
