Step inside La Vaca Vieja, and you're greeted by an inviting ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern elegance.

For those who... enjoy hearty tapas, the generous portions are perfect for sharing, with staff who genuinely care about your dining experience, as noted by Roberto Hita Sanchez, who praised the thoughtful service from the moment he stepped inside.

While the culinary delights are undoubtedly the star of the show, some customers have pointed out minor details that could use a touch of attention, like the need for improved cutlery and restroom maintenance, echoed by Jiyun JUNG. However, these small hiccups do little to overshadow the overall dining experience that La Vaca Vieja provides, with patrons frequently returning due to the consistently high-quality food and welcoming environment.

Comida excelente, desde el pincho de tortilla de desayuno hasta todas y cada una de las carnes, los huevos rotos y el menú. Por si fuese poco, Sergio y su familia hacen que te sientas en casa. Uno de los mejores y más recomendables sitios de Madrid. Recomiendo la hamburguesa, en el punto que quieras, aunque mejor poco hecha y solo carne con tomate. Excelente en tamaño, calidad y sabor. Uno de los sitios imprescindible en Madrid. Para repetir y repetir. 100% recomendable.

에이징한 고기가 아주 맛있는곳 사이드디쉬도 풍성하게준다 별을 하나 뺀건 화장실이 냄새나고 고기자르는 칼이 무뎌있어 디테일이 약한것에 점수를 뺀다 El servicio necesita algo mas de mantenimiento. Olia un poco.

Muy buena tapa la de este año. Después de probarla y por la actitud con la que nos recibieron, ya que era la primera vez que íbamos, volvimos. Raciones muy generosas de hecho éramos tres y cuando estábamos pidiendo el camarero nos avisó que podía ser mucho para tres, cosa que dice mucho de la profesionalidad ya que eso demuestra que no se mira tanto el dinero sino que el cliente esté bien para que repita. Todo lo que pedimos estuvo muy rico. Sin duda un sitio para repetir e ir probando la carta que ofrecen.
