About Jíbaro
The Story

It mixes Cuban and Spanish cooking from breakfast on, and doubles as a small venue, with a regular programme of live music and comedy and space for private events.
The Cuisine
Cuban and Spanish cooking across the day: breakfast tostadas and pincho de tortilla, tostas and bocadillos like the cubano and lechón, plates such as huevos habaneros, carrillada and pulpo a la jíbara, and Cuban cocktails like the mojito jíbaro and canchánchara.
Breakfast to Late
Mornings bring breakfast tostadas and pincho de tortilla. Later the kitchen moves on to tostas and bocadillos such as the cubano and lechón, plates like huevos habaneros, carrillada and pulpo a la jíbara, and roast vegetables on homemade hummus. The bar does Cuban cocktails, the mojito jíbaro and a canchánchara among them, and stays open until 1:00 on Friday and Saturday.

Jíbaro is on Plaza de Cascorro 11, in the Embajadores neighbourhood of Madrid's Centro district.
Nearby
Embajadores is old working Madrid, dense and unpolished, and it rewards anyone willing to walk its side streets. The eating runs from taverns that have been there for generations to newer rooms doing something quite different. El Rastro spills through it on market days, and Lavapiés is the same conversation continued uphill.
