Local que da a dos calles. Muy conocido por sus bocadillos de calamares fritos y sus bravas. Abierto prácticamente todo el día. Puedes desayunar, tapear, comer, cenar,… Pero no olvides probar sus bocadillos de calamares. El local es grande pero tiene poco taburete en el interior. Dispone de terraza. Suele estar muy concurrido, por lo que hay que ir con paciencia. El personal en general es amable, aunque hay de todo. Local limpio. Aunque tienen la costumbre de tirar servilletas y restos al suelo, por lo que si vas a lo largo del día, te encontrarás con esto. Puede que no sea el bocadillo de calamares más bueno en Madrid, pero a mí me gusta y lo recomiendo. Ah! Y sus cervecitas bien tiradas.
