La Vaquería - Collado Villalba

We visited this restaurant with some friends who live in Madrid, and we loved it! The setting (an old stable) is beautiful, and the service and food were wonderful. We had some delicious sangria, and we had some excellent appetizers (cold asparagus with mayonnaise, cured cheese) and the meat was amazing so tender and delicious. The fries were average, however. The kids in the group loved cooking their own meat, and the excellent waitstaff changed the grills for us as they cooled down. Overall it was a fantastic experience. I can't comment on the price because my gracious friend picked up the tab, but I wouldn't have been disappointed spending a good deal for the meal I had.

This is just like being asked to a BBQ. The menu is standard for everybody. You can have homemade pate for a starter or no starter. You can choose between beef or duck. According to your choice a plate of raw meat is put on the table with a huge plate of chips (French fries) and a small BBQ is placed on the middle of the table. You then cook your own meat as you like it. Children love it and our grandchildren rush to visit us if we promise to take them there. Vegetarians, Vegans and Macrobiotics had better eat elsewhere. The place is only open Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday and Sunday lunch. It is always packed so you should reserve a table before you go. You can eat either inside or outside. Under the stars on a hot summer evening is bliss.

Great experience. Simple but good. Meat, salad and fries! Recommended. Nice setting and nice people. Nice for family gathering particularly for kids.

Sitio muy agradable y personal muy atento. Calidad- precio excelente. Si te gusta la carne no lo dudes.

Me gusta mucho, vamos a veces con mi suegro y está muy bien, la comida es buena y el precio bastante razonable para lo bien que se come, con el menú entran patatas, ensalada y una bandeja de carne, te traen la parrilla para que lo prepares tú y me parece muy guay
