De Madrid al plato: buen solomillo, mucho ajillo y patatas fritas para rematar la faena. Aquí se viene a comer castizo y sin tonterías.
Pulpo a la gallega, pero con acento castizo. Pulpo, patata, pimentón y AOVE. Un clásico gallego que en Castizo habla madrileño. #Castizo #PulpoALaGallega #Madrid #CocinaTradicional #MadridFood
Background
About Castizo
The Story
Castizo is a modern-tavern concept from Grupo Carbón. It opened first on Calle Velázquez, then spread to Puerta de Alcalá and Calle Serrano, and this branch joined the Rumbo Aravaca line-up in the Aravaca area.
The Cuisine
It's pitched as an ode to the traditional Madrid taberna with a modern twist, and the bar steals the show: cañas with ensaladilla rusa and home-style eggs, torreznos from Alalpardo and patatas bravas, plus cocktails.

Experience
Castizo Dining Experience
The bar is the centre of gravity here, built for cocktails and casual sharing rather than a formal sit-down, a traditional-tavern look given a modern twist by Grupo Carbón. There's a terrace, and the room leans to groups and families, the same concept that grew from Calle Velázquez to Puerta de Alcalá and Serrano.
