El Tigre! My favorite bar in Madrid thus far

El tigre is basically a hole in the wall bar that is extremely small and ALWAYS packed. But aren't those always the BEST types of places to go? On any weekend night it is so incredibly packed you will be standing and touching at least four other people. If you even make it inside the bar you will have to push past dozens and dozens of people in order to make it anywhere. Why make such the hassle for such a small and cramped place? It has the best drinks and tapas drinks you will find anywhere in Madrid except Cien Bocadillas on a Wednesday night where everything is 1 euro! Order 1 HUGE mohito at el tigre for 5 euros and get a plate of tapas free with your drink! It is one of the best deals in all of Madrid. The tapas are actually a full plate too ranging from croquetas (my new favorite food), potatoes with hot sauce, breads and cheeses and more! It is more of a local bar where americans will go but it is definitely a well hidden secret of Madrid! My taxi driver didn't even know where it was or the street it was on when we asked him to drop us off there! I thought taxi drivers were supposed to know where everything was!
