La Chelinda Ponzano 0 - Madrid

The food was great, nice lunch menu priced at 8-10€pp Nice decor and seating, food menu is varied and affordable. Service was ok, but a couple of distractions left us waiting a bit for food and when we ordered a second they weren't clear we were asking for another menu, so the meal price went up a bit unexpectedly.

This restaurant is perfect!!! If you like authentic Mexican food (or would like to try it), this is the place to do it. The food was wonderful, the margaritas are to die for, and the workers and incredibly understanding (with us English speakers) and very pleasant to converse with! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun place to eat with a friendly and fun environment!

Highly recommended for lunch! Great value for money with menu deals! €8 for main (I ordered tacos al pastor), a drink and coffee/dessert. Atmosphere is cool and cozy. Went for a quick solo lunch to also get some work done with my laptop. Free wifi but limited to an hour. Food was good but can’t say the tacks were the best I ever had. Would definitely go back for either a lunch date or big group at night.

Mexican cuisine is one of my favorite due to its varied use of fresh ingredients uncommon in European cuisines. It is at times hot, citric, uses coriander and often a mix of spices. Whenever I am in the area I love to have dinner at LA Chelinda. This time I tried their Acapulco shrimp cocktail and the mole poblano chicken enchilada. Both were divine! To quench my thirst I ordered a lemonade with little sugar on a warm night definitely refreshing. All this for less than 20€. Definitely good food, fair prices and a place that attracts young crowds, particularly on Thursdays and weekends.

Great taco, I tried 4 different flavors of tacos, damn they were amazing, but my fav is the Campechano wow mind blowing flavors!!! Plus they have an great tequila selection
