This is a very traditional restaurant. The kind of restaurant to which you'll bring friends visiting Madrid who want to try the typical gastronomy of the city. It goes back to the 18th century. At the time it was "a popular place in the Villa frequented by soldiers, ruffians, poets and swordsmen." The dining rooms are found in original caves. The history behind makes it mystic...as it happens with many other rests in the area of Cava baja and Cava alta in Madrid de los Austrias.
Their specialty is Cochinillo (suckling pig), excellent. Also you’ll find a variety of traditional dishes perfect to share before you dig into the main. Pimientos de padron, migas, chistorra. They cook in a rustic oven de leña, which gives an extraordinary flavor to food. The service and price are right.
I have to recommend also La Posada de la Villa just across the street where the speacilty is roasted lamb.
Enjoy!!!

Pimientos de Padrón, unos pican y otros no! Green peppers, you eat them in one bite
Chistorra is a seriously delicious red sausage from Navarra
Home made croquetas
Migas which are a combination of bread crumbs with chorizo, bacon, eggs and grapes...so far so good, uh? not what you would call a light dinner!
Cochinillo- The main attraction of the night. You don't need to go to Segovia (although if you have the time you should) to eat a proper, tender perfect suckling pig. Thank you Spain! really
