Opiniones Antigua Taquería

As an American, I've been blessed with my share of tacos during my lifetime. The style that La Antigua Taqueria offers are of the authentic Mexican variety: shredded (ropa vieja) or grilled bits of meat or simply stewed black beans wrapped in a petite corn tortilla. I have tried them all, of course, and they are delicious if your appetite is for Mexican-style tacos and quesedillas. If you're of the opinion that the USA does tacos best, you might be disappointed both in the content and portion size of the fare. The plates here are inexpensive, however, so ordering two tacos (for example) would only set you back about five euros. Oh, and as fair warning: these soft little tortillas tend to expand in your stomach so if you wolf them down, you're going to have a bad time. Aside from the delicious food, the ambiance is classically Mexican. A pair of wide double-doors open out onto the street, so as you enjoy the small, dark dining room you can watch the passing of Lavapies' richly diverse pedestrians. There is a great and colorful calavera mural on the wall on the way to the restrooms. By the way the waitress avoided lisping her "c"s I guessed that she was Mexican or at least not European, and those cultural qualities were reflected in her service: smiling and warm, and attentive. The only way you'd know that you were in a Spanish-Mexican restaurant and not an authentic Mexican restaurant is that when you order a Mexican beer, as an American, you want a lime in it. Like, a slice IN the bottle. Spain doesn't do that. Spain never got the memo or at best mistranslated lima as limon. Very rarely in this country has my perseverance in ordering lime with a Pacifio or Coronita been rewarded with a slice of lime. This restaurant is no exception; here, you are given a glass half-full of lemon Fanta with a salted rim, with a splash of tequila added, and are expected to pour your Pacifico into it. It's refreshing, it's interesting at least, but it ain't a lime. The tl;dr is that if you're on the hunt for cheap Mexican tacos in a Mexican-themed taco joint, come down to Lavapies and try La Antigua Taqueria.

I'm from Southern California and also Mexican so I believe I am very qualified when it comes to rating Mexican food. This little taco bar was delicious. I tried the tinga de pollo and the cochinita pibil and they were amazing. Definitely recommend for someone craving some tacos and beer.

La Antigua Taquerías es uno de mis sitios favoritos para comer en Madrid. Está todo súper bueno, la presentación es inmejorable, bien de precio y las dueñas son majísimas. El local es muy chulo y tienen una buena selección de cervezas mexicanas. La quesadilla de huevo y trufa es un pecao. Para volver una y mil veces :)

Sitio imprescindible en lavapies si quieres comerte unos de los mejores tacos de madrid!!! El de alambre es insuperable!!! Siempre hay que acompañarlo de unos buenos margaritas!!!

Taquería con un sabor muy auténtico. Dejan pasar perros. Buen ambiente. Recomendable

Cierto es que hay sitios más baratos, pero no conozco ninguno que también ofrezca un ambiente tan acogedor y un servicio más local/amigable. Los nachos están muy buenos, pero imagino que algunas de las salsas no serán del gusto de todo el mundo. Los tacos me han encantado pero que cuesten 2,5€ cada uno hace que no puedas pedir muchos. Habrá que volver.

Bueno, bonito y barato. Un mexicano con pocas pretensiones con una carta poco extensa pero ejecutada de forma excelente. He estado en muchos mexicanos de batalla y no he encontrado ninguno mejor que este. Con un precio muy adecuado para lo que ofrecen y un servicio competente. Muy recomendable. Nachos obligatorios, quesadillas ricas ricas y el taco de cochinita pibil impresionante.

Los precios de los tacos y bebida caros para el tamaño. Por otro lado, nos atendió un camarero nuevo, moreno alto con rastas (creo) y fue majísimo y muy atento, volveremos sin duda por eso y porque la comida estaba buena.
