I was recommended to try out this place by different people due the huge tapas you get..., and well..., isn´t really the concept i had in mind. Even if is true that in most places the price of your drink is slightly expensier depending the...tapa you get, in my opinion in this one all the drinks are quite overpriced, the feeling of fully paying for those drinks and food is more than evident. You totally could get a beer somewhere else and even pick what you want to eat for exactly the same price (around the same area) With the amazing places for tapas around Madrid this one is totally out of the list.More

Well in accordance to all other reviews around here, and friends word-to-word review, the place is very good for noisy beer tapas. We were 4 friends, had 2 rounds of beers and ordered 3 dishes: Huevos Rotos, Paella and Almondigas. This along with 2 free...tapas was more than enough for us to roll out of the place. Recommend to go for beers and the tapas. Excellent place! Note: Also has some Portuguese dishes with bacalao (cod-fish)More

This was one of my regular go-to spots when I lived two years in Madrid! Go with any of the typical Spanish foods off the menu, and you won't be disappointed. The croquetas and the chuletón (steak) were always my favorites. Order your drinks first...and it'll come with a free tapa (normally a ham sandwich per person, enough fries to share, etc). My advice would be to go when there are a lot of people because the tapas go faster and it's more likely that they'll be recently made if they're serving a lot of people. I went a couple times when it was slow and the tapas weren't as good as they normally are. Note: if you're seating in the dining room, you have to order at least a "doble" (33ml, or 11 oz, draft beer). Obviously, if you order food then it's all good, but keep in mind that you can only get a tapa with your caña in the bar area. Hope you enjoy your time there!More

Best place for beers and tapas!!! Do not give this place a miss or you will regret it. We ordered beers and got a couple of tapas for free. 1. Burgers 2. salad with tuna 3. A good portion of paella 4. Battered fish 5....Ham and cheese toast. I enjoyed all the tapas tremendously and as you can tell they tried to vary all tapas served to us even though it was free with the beers. Cheers and hope you have a wonderful time visiting the place.More

We fell into this bar on our way to dinner and were pleasantly surprised. It was very busy and full of locals - we stood out. Everyone was very friendly even with limited English. We couldn't make our order of Sherry understood and were given...something like an odd sangria and an enormous plate of ham and cheese toasted sandwiches (proper free tapas like the old days!) they were dangerously moreish. A very genuine local bar - great for a "real Spanish" and budget experience, not a place for high quality food.More

This is a "real" tapas bar in that when you order a beer you get a free plate of tapas. The bigger plates are good but it has a certain reputation to keep up so its lot cheap. The quality is however good. The service...from the Peruvian waiter was enthusiastic, friendly and efficientMore

This is one of my regular haunts when in Madrid. It is always worth a visit for the quality and variety of tapas that they serve. The tapas in many bars in Madrid are often crisps, olives or a slice of meat on bread. Nothing...wrong with that but, with a bit of imagination, a bar can make the experience so much better. La Petisqueira is just such a bar. Last week on one visit we had four plates of tapas accompanying our drinks. First up was black rice surrounding ali oli. Then we had cheese and ham toasties followed by mussels. Finally, a huge pile of scrambled eggs with slices of mushrooms. On another visit last month we had hard-boiled eggs filled with tuna mayonnaise and a crabmeat sandwich covered in mayonnaise. One place not to miss next time you're in Madrid.More
