Background
About Tatemado
The Story
Tatemado is a Mexican restaurant on Plaza de la Cebada. The name comes from Nahuatl and points straight at the cooking: tatemado is a pre-Hispanic technique of cooking ingredients directly in the embers until the skin chars and the flavours concentrate. That fire is the idea the place is built on.
The Cuisine
Traditional Mexican cooking over embers with a modern touch, as the house puts it, with dishes that carry the tatemado name as their seal. Vegetarian options and a cocktail list sit alongside.

Tatemado Dining Experience
It's built for groups and families, with cocktails part of the draw and vegetarian options on the menu. The kitchen works over live fire, so expect smoke and char at the centre of things rather than a quiet, formal room.

Plaza de la Cebada 9, 28005 Madrid, in the Palacio barrio of the Centro district.
Nearby
Palacio is the grand, historic western edge of the centre, wrapped around Palacio Real de Madrid and Plaza de Oriente. The eating runs from tavern cooking that has not changed in generations to small rooms doing something quieter and more modern. Teatro Real and Jardines de Sabatini set the pace, which is slower here.
