How to find cheap and tasty restaurants in Madrid

You are in Madrid for a limited budget? The Spanish capital has literally countless options for those of you who do not want to break the bank but still want to eat well, and I'm talking real restaurants where you can sit at a table are served and enjoy your meal without no rush .

Many of the restaurants serving great food in Madrid. Because, like, pocket change. The most important thing to remember when you go out for a meal is to stay away from restaurants that are located near major tourist attractions. If only cater to tourists do not need to provide high quality meals on a consistent basis, why bother? There will always be new tourists, and as long as they have a privileged position the food is likely to be expensive in price, and below average in taste. The best advice to get a cheap meal and good taste is to see if there are local eating in the restaurant. If there is a lot of people enjoy the Spanish food is likely to be a good choice.

Museo del Jamon is an example of a good restaurant in Madrid, yes, the name is "Museum", but there are no curators, no headsets, no gift shop. Only ham. Everywhere. Yep, no shortage of ham here. Ham in any way shape or form, hanging from the ceiling (a bit 'as an art show), along with about another billion options in small portions (called raciones), accompanied by the best round after round of beer. Here you should expect to expand your stomach (your mind, not so much) and get your fill of Spain's number one delicacy for very little money.
