Cafe Madrid

Cafe Madrid's specialty is tapas, the little Spanish dishes whose name means "to cover." They began as freebies in bars: thin slices of Serrano ham or saucers of food set atop wineglasses to keep out pesky fruit flies. Today, you'll find a huge variety of tapas, both hot and cold. Cafe Madrid offers a splendid assortment, and while it wasn't Dallas' first tapas spot, at 10 years-plus it probably is the longest running. We've never left disappointed.
