Las mollejas son ese plato que divide al mundo: los que las aman, los que no las han probado bien, y los que creen que saben… hasta que las prueban de verdad. Curiosidad: no todas vienen del mismo sitio, no todas se cocinan igual, y no todas tienen ese punto crujiente‑meloso que engancha. Pero cua

Madrid tiene mil barrios y mil opiniones. Cada uno con su plato estrella, su bar de confianza y su teoría de por qué su zona es la que manda. Pero claro… ¿en qué barrio se come realmente mejor? ¿Lavapiés? ¿La Latina? ¿Chamberí? ¿Malasaña? ¿O es pura guerra de orgullo madrileño? En este vídeo no d

Madrid habla de vino como si no hubiera mañana. Copas arriba, etiquetas bonitas, opiniones por todos lados. Pero la pregunta sigue ahí, mirándonos: ¿hay nivel de verdad… o nos puede el postureo? Entre sorbos, hype y alguna que otra sorpresa, lo único claro es que en esta ciudad el vino se vive fue

Hay momentos en los que un vino no es solo un vino. Es tu carta de presentación. Vas a casa de tu suegro. Respiras hondo. Y sacas esa botella que dice: “no vengo a improvisar”. ¿Le gustará? ¿Te ganará puntos? Con tu suegro nunca hay garantías… pero con estos vinos, vas con ventaja. #TabernaChirip

En Madrid, un debate gastronómico empieza fácil… pero nunca sabes cómo acaba. Un chef. Un apasionado de la comida. Un plato madrileño sobre la mesa. ¿Estarán de acuerdo o no? Eso ya es otra historia. Lo que sí está claro es que, cuando se habla de Madrid, la conversación siempre se calienta. #Tab

Background

About Taberna Chiripa

The Story

Taberna Chiripa opened in 2025 in the small space on Calle de Espartinas that had been Taberna Verdejo. Partners Manuel Figueroa and Roberto Fuentes run the room themselves and brought in a young chef, David Blázquez, who had cooked at Umiko, Lera and Bom Amb. The house builds on home cooking, old-school bars and historic fondas, taken one careful step further, and its Instagram bio sums it up as classic creative cooking.

The Cuisine

The cooking is traditional Spanish with a creative edge: homemade tapas, sharing raciones, spoon dishes and seasonal specialities. House favourites include ajoblanco with quisquillas, a quail pastela and mollejas, with sauces the kitchen says take hours.

The Dishes

The carta is short and deliberately skips the city's usual suspects. It opens with an ajoblanco of Marcona almond with Motril quisquillas warmed in the kamado, pickles, trout roe and an oil made from the prawn heads. The 'bocado Chiripa' is crisp pig's ear and griddled cheek with smoked eel, garlic praline and lime gel. There's a cod ravioli with smoked turbot pil-pil, a heart sweetbread cooked low then finished over embers with celeriac cream and brown butter, and a marine figatell of monkfish and squid, a nod to Blázquez's time in Alicante. The 'Homenaje a Madrid' is a pastela of quail in pepitoria with a pâté of its livers, and the lemon tart has a crumble made with lamb fat.

Experience

Taberna Chiripa Dining Experience

The venue calls its own vibe castizo but modern, cosy and unhurried, the kind of room built for tapas and long lunches rather than a quick stop. It draws on home cooking, old-school bars and historic fondas pushed one careful step further, with seasonal product and a family-friendly welcome.

Getting There

It's on Calle de Espartinas in the Goya area, in Madrid's Salamanca district, close to the Parque del Retiro and Calle Goya.

Nearby

Goya is Salamanca with the volume turned down, a shopping-and-lunching grid where the standards are high and the rooms are comfortable. The eating is broad and dependable rather than experimental. Parque del Buen Retiro is close enough to build a day around.
