I often judge a place by their bread and the bread here is superb so I knew we were in for a treat.
We begin proper with some olives and cured pork tongue, little slivers of rich cured meat. Lengua de cerdo curada.
Next a jar of Partridge paté, beautifully rich and smooth.
Pig's Snout Taco, pickles and Anchovy is perfect, a great bite. Morro, encurtidos, anchoa.

Manitas, alcachofas y cigala. Pig's Trotter, Artichoke, crayfish. These are utterly delicious, in fact everything here is. Writing about it weeks after we went, I can recall that sticky sauce, sublime!
Veal Sweetbreads.
Pig tails with smoked eel and cheese.
Yet again another big hit for Madrid. We loved La Tasquería. Young head chef Javi Estèvez is enthusiastic and friendly and the service is spot on too. In fact, I take back what I said earlier, do bring a fussy eater here to La Tasquería, just don't tell them what it is they're eating, as everything is just too bloody good to miss out on.
Full Menu English.
Spanish.
