The mushrooms are excellent! And they are the reason to stop here. This was the third stop on our own little personal tapas tour, all we had were the mushrooms and some vino. This place has been around for over 30+ years for a reason. It's not fancy, but the staff is friendly and they take great pride in their... More

Mushroom is nice, but it's simply capped mushroom with salt, pasley and a small piece of chrizo on top, grilled just right. nothing you can't easily make at home though. Don't think it live up to its name by only having one mushroom dish!!! Other dishes are average quality but hugely overpriced! A plate of piemiento padron for ?7.5??? A... More

If you are in Madrid for a few days, this little bar/restaurant is definately worth a visit. Fantastic mushrooms and pimiento peppers. Great for a chill out, with some beer and bread. Simple food- tastes great. The guys behind the bar work hard!!! Been my fourth visit to this place, and I always go there when I am in Madrid.... More

We came here one night after getting a rec from a friend staying in Madrid. She mentioned we should go here before dinner for the mushrooms. We had lots of mushrooms and a bunch of other tapas. The mushrooms were deliciously awesome. The other tapas on the other hand were not so great. I kind of understand why we should... More

What can I say we love the mushrooms. We stand at the bar to enjoy the food, service and folks attending to us. A bit overrun by the toursit trade but all of that area is. great mushrooms, peppers and tinto. We go here every trip...close to Botins and Plaza Mayor

A good example of the caves under Plaza Major. Very small, but we were fortunate to get seated immediately - there was quite a line of people waiting by the time we left. The food was very good - we had the mushrooms (of course), the padron peppers, the chorizo and a few other plates. All were excellent and we... More

Lively environment, food was fantastic . Sangria was very good as were the garlic mushrooms. It is located just a little south of the Plaza Mayor.
