Restaurant Review: El Social, Madrid

Oh boy, where do I even start? We booked El Social based on its glowing Google reviews, expecting a hidden gem in Madrid. What we got instead? A glorified disaster wrapped in disappointment.

First things first – the place looks like it hasn’t seen a mop since the early 2000s. Worn-out, dirty, and about as inviting as a gas station restroom. But hey, at least the staff was friendly! Too bad they couldn’t serve up a meal that matched their good vibes.

The food? Tragic. Bland, poorly cooked, and about as exciting as a wet paper bag. And the drinks? Let’s just say, if sadness had a flavor, it would taste like whatever they served us.

Final verdict: Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else. Madrid is full of amazing food – this ain’t it.

Amazing!! The dishes have a wonderful mix of flavors. We got the meatballs with almond sauce which was very unique, and the fish was very light and tasty. The service was also excellent. So friendly and welcoming to us as foreigners. Highly recommend!!

I have to recommend it with 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I rarely write reviews because I'm lazy, unless I'm very satisfied or I've had a very bad experience.
El Social is definitely the former, and I must say everything is perfect here... friendly and nice people; special, delicious and beautiful food (you don't have to worry about not eating enough, it doesn't sacrifice quantity for presentation).
I think I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends, and I will eat here again if I come back to Madrid.
(By the way, I love your music playlists! If only I knew their names 😭)

What an absolute gem of a place. The owner and staff are attentive, kind, and make you feel like family.

Food was absolutely delicious. We had their guac, croquettes, skirt steak, shrimp, and chicken with almond sauce. 11/10 would recommend.

Make a reservation in advance as the restaurant is cozy, but truly a wonderful place in Madrid. Thank you, El Social for making our visit to Madrid special.
