"In the heart of Madrid, a city known for its tapas and paella, I found myself drawn to a Mexican-inspired gem called Puntarena. Like an illicit lover, it beckoned me into its warm embrace, whispering seductive promises of vibrant flavors and unforgettable culinary experiences. As I crossed the threshold, the alluring scent of spices and sizzling meats filled my nostrils. The walls were adorned with tasteful, Mexican-themed art, a nod to the culinary inspiration of this establishment. I could feel the passion and authenticity in every detail. Without hesitation, I ordered the Taco Alambre de Camarón. A sofrito of pimientos, bacon, cheese, and shrimp, it was the kind of dish that made me want to grab the chef by the collar and ask, Where have you been all my life? The harmony of flavors created an electric current on my tongue, the sharpness of the cheese and the smoky bacon juxtaposed with the succulence of the shrimp. Next came the Camarón Rosarito, a gambón taco with beans and a tantalizing Rosarito sauce. The tender, meaty shrimp mingled with the earthy beans, while the sauce provided a flavorful hug that whispered sweet nothings to my palate. It was culinary poetry in motion. But the Pulpo Enamorado, oh, the Pulpo Enamorado. Crispy octopus, avocado cream, pickles, and a chile de árbol sauce that would make a grown man weep. It was a dish that brought me to my knees, humbled by the sheer brilliance of its composition. The textures danced together in a sensual tango, the tender octopus and creamy avocado juxtaposed with the sharp crunch of the pickles. For the main course, I settled on the Pez Gordo. This fried dorada, served with pickles and a sweet and sour sauce, was nothing short of a revelation. The fish was expertly cooked, the exterior crisp and golden, while the interior remained tender and moist. The sweet and sour sauce, a symphony of tangy and sweet, took the dish to new heights. To wash it all down, I chose a classic Margarita, its sharp tequila and bright lime cutting through the rich, complex flavors of the meal. And, of course, I couldn 't resist sampling their impressive selection of Mexican beers, each with its own unique character and story to tell. Puntarena, you sly temptress, you 've stolen my heart and left me with a craving for more. In a world filled with culinary monotony, you 've reminded me that there is still passion and inspiration to be found. Madrid may be a city of tapas, but it 's in this Mexican oasis that I found a true gastronomic treasure."

green chili, spider ceviche, gambones to the diabla, mole and pico de gallo, totopos and a delicious sweet ribbon... and exquisite margaritas. all served in so steps and in precious dishes and bowls. with fresh and well combined ingredients (perhaps the ceviche had too much cucumber). to repeat.

Mexican decaf. We've been a long time ago and we've had a lot of it, we've been wanting to come back for a long time. the dishes are of fusion cuisine, from Mexican to Mexican to have little, scarce and expensive. Don't ask for the gambón, they present it in half, dry and with a lot of paprika. the rich but super scarce octopus. normal ceviche. the lemon foot was frozen inside, in a restaurant of this category is not explained.

I think this is the closest I've been to Mexico and I've been to several Mexican restaurants. with a menu outside the classic tacos and burritos offer you different dishes full of flavor and color. While it is true that the amounts are a little short, they add it with the taste and presentation. I would highlight the green, crunchy atun and the gambones to the diabla, I will touch to go again because I stay with the desire to try the fish to the size.Psalm 8 attention 8 kitchen 8 previous 7
