María Bonita Taco Bar - Lavapiés

This is a great little Mexican bar at the top of Lavapiés. Strangely, in Lavapiés it is pretty hard to find a good place for Mexican food. (There are probably 100 Indian places though).

The margaritas are available in the traditional fresh fruit flavours like mango and strawberry and also some rather odd ones like cucumber. The Micheladas are also great; you don’t only get a choice of what beer to have in it but also if you want Clamato.

The front room is more of a bar and the back a restaurant. The decoration is modern and clean making a nice change from the majority of Mexican franchises in Madrid which are full of wrestlers and other bits of tat hanging from the ceiling. If you’re in Malasaña they also have another spot in Duque de Liria.
