    A little classier than the average tapas restaurant. Good wine with delicious tapas. A bottle of wine with 7-8 plates of tapas is around 50 euros. Octopus is a must try. Great place for a date.

    Try the jug of sangria! Salmon roll is also delicious. +Tuna tartar is highly recommended for seafood-lovers :)

    This is one of my favorite lateral locations. I like everything here, great ambiance, good tapas. Haven't been here for 3y's, the menu was slightly changed.

    Best Sangria, excellent "Quesadilha" and don't leave without trying Solomillos (either in Madrid or Barcelona)

    The tapas are great! The one with magret is delicious as well as the one with brie and red pepper

    Tapas that are light, cool, and refreshing. My favorite is the Lateral - super reminiscent of beef tartare.

    Great tapas for a fair price. Bit touristy, slightly fancy.

    Lateral is a chain of upscale tapas restaurants. The food is great and prices are low. The two best locations (in regards to food quality) are Fuencarral and Velazquez. Plaza Santa Ana is very lively. Read more

    Get there early to avoid the queue. You can't reserve (at least not on a Saturday night).

    Tasty and rather strong Mojitos, but carpaccio was rather dull and "Parmesan" was Emmentaler.

    How do I rate? It was terrible - service was cold and slightly rude, I didn't get what I ordered - what I got was kinda gross ( the upside is I wasn't charged for it ether). So I'm off to eat a meal

    Delicioso todo! El pincho de salmón y la tortilla española son deliciosas al igual que las croquetas de jamón serrano y las albóndigas. Es lugar obligado en Madrid! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

    Sitio muy recomendable para cenar de tapas. Las croquetas de boletus están riquísimas. También recomendable la tortilla, la tempura de verduras con yogurt y las mini hamburguesas al Pedro Ximénez.

    Muy buena calidad-precio. Lo único que no recomiendo de la carta es el mollete (especialidad) es una clavada para lo que es. El resto de la comida muy bien! Buen ambiente y buena terraza.

    gran sorpresa, buena calidad (genial en algunos platos) y precio adecuado; el tamaño de las raciones es bueno; las mesas de dentro están un poco pegadas, pero por lo demás merece mucho la pena

    Вкусно! Дёшево! Рекомендую кассадилью и лососевый ролл с ветчиной👍😋Вечером возможны очереди к получению столика, брони заранее нет. Но ожидание, в среднем, 20-30 мин и стоит того, чтоб подождать!
  • Maria S.heart icon on user image
    Todo esta riquísimo sobretodo las croquetas de boletus!! Lo k pasa k si pides varias cosas te las traen todas a la vez! Eso es un fallo!! Espero k lo corrijan o k haya sido algo excepcional

    Muy rica la comida pero, le faltó fruta a la sangría... La mesa de al lado si tenía!...en general, me encanta El Lateral! Sobre todo, la posibilidad de poder pedir 1 croqueta y no la ración entera

    Aunque tardamos casi una hora en poder sentarnos, la verdad es que me gustó el sitio. Tapas pequeñitas pero muy ricas, son los postres los que terminan de llenarte. El banoffee es una bomba.

    Las tapas están ricas y el servicio staff es rapido! Mis tapas favoritas son las crepes de champiñones, el solomillo con brie y salmón y queso.

    Buen sitio en cuanto calidad precio. Tapas recomendables: solomillos, rollito de salmón, croquetas de gambas, quesadilla de espinacas. Postre: tarta de queso o chocolate espectaculares.
