A much smaller store is to be found at the other end of Calle Preciados. Not quite a looker from the outside, it holds a top-floor restaurant with brilliant views over the Gran Vía.

Good taqueria. The tacos are amazing. The quesadillas and tortas are also worth it. The queue seems super long, but it moves fast.

Small little cantine with excellent and satisfying authentic Spanish food. You have to queue, but it's quite fluid and it's worth it.
