El Escorial - 01000 Ciudad de México

Great place!

Very tasty paella!

Great tapas. Price is ok. Little expensive for some items but generally decent

The best lamb chops in Mexico City and a good menu of Spanish food (from Spain).

Amazing Spanish food, especially the fabada and the montaditos. The owner is the chef so quality is guaranteed. He often comes out of the kitchen to greet guests at their tables.

Best in the zone. Ask for the Spanish specials

The food here is okay, but when we tried to pay with our (perfectly good) credit card, the terminal did not work repeatedly. Meanwhile, the waitstaff insisted there was no problem with their flaky terminal and it must be our card. My wife took an Uber back to our apartment to get enough cash to pay the bill, while I called our credit card company on the phone to try and clear things up. Of course, there was nothing wrong with our card and the company had no record of the attempted transactions. Finally a representative from the credit card company convinced the waiter to try and run the card number manually. The waiter did this, and it actually worked, but before he did it he actually threatened to "block" my card if it didn't work. So basically we had to put up with 30 minutes of unbelieving attempts to charge our card, two extra Uber trips, and a long phone call to the credit card company in order to pay with a perfectly valid card here. You would think that a supposedly "nice" restaurant like this would have more than one way to run a credit card, as many other places in Mexico City do. As it is, I would never even think of going back here when there are so many other great options available. Don't let it happen to you!

I was excited to taste this paella negra, but it turned a total DISAPPOINTMENT. No shrimps in the paella as written in the menu (only 2 small langostinas), the half crab was without meat (only the shell), and the squid was dry, probably a couple of days old. I paid 350$ for that, I feel robbed.
