Absolutely Delicious Food & Huge portions. I’m a huge guy who loves to eat and when ordering the guy taking my order questioned me if I could handle two sandwiches and croquettes which I assured him lol. I Was Wrong! Their sandwich was massive and packed full of flavor. Their Croquettes were delicious and also big. The prices were just fine especially considering the crazy portion size and flavor. Overall I highly recommend this delicious place as you will leave happy and probably with leftovers ;)

Super good food and great value for money. Close to downtown but not the touristy area. Big servings and really good quality. Not a fancy place but it does the job. Can chill inside and smell the ham and cheese cooked to perfection. I tried their empanadas too, so good!

If you want a small, cozy spot with amazing traditional food that is insanely good, super filling, and great value for money, this is the place to be. Highly recommended

This is a must go place in Lavapiés. I know that a lot of instagramers are now paid to recomend other places but this one exceed all of them. Foos is great and generous, service nice and ready to recomend the right portions (that will exceed your expectations in size, taste and quality). It seems that afternoons could be pack, so I recomend to be there around 1pm in a weekday. I will return for sure. Look in the picture what a half sándwich, 2 croquetas and a vermut looks like.

I went there recommended. It was an amazing experience. We enjoyed the "zapatilla" which is a huge sandwich with melted cheese to share. The croquetad were really good too. You won't probably have a table as the place is very small. I'll definitely come back.
