After 42 countries and over 437 restaurants , I finally found the perfect paella in plaza espana 9. The food is just out of this world.... the service, outstanding. I initially just walked in by mistake and now it will become my second home in Madrid,Spain. The place is unique and very particular. Alex and his brother Juan make you feel like family. Lastly, you can actually eat off the floor from the bathroom. That's how clean the bathroom is. An experience you MUST have in Madrid.

After sightseeing all day we came in for a very late lunch. From reviews I read I wanted to try the mix paella since it's one of the best in Madrid. We were seated by the table near the window and ordered right away since we knew what we wanted. My friend and I split the mixed paella which comes with shrimp, calamari, crawfish, chicken and sausage. We also ordered two big glasses of the sangria.
The paella took about 45 mins to make since all the paellas are made to order. While we were waiting we were sipping on our sangrias which were delicious! The only thing was that it was a bit too sweet for me and I could taste the grains of sugar at the bottom of my glass.
The paella finally came and it was a beautiful site to see ! So colorful with the different elements in the dish. The rice was cooked perfectly and everything was seasoned well. It was a bit oily though when you scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the rice but it was delicious!!! During out meal the owner and our waiter has a disagreement about something and were yelling at each other across the restaurant. Kind of disrupted our dining atmosphere but overall the food was good and our service was good. Def. Recommend this place to anyone who wants a good plate of paella and glass of sangria!
Wow! What a gem! Great ham and paella. Amazing service. Server was very nice and welcoming.
It wasn't crowded at all for Tuesday dinner. This place is quite relaxing. Perfect!
