Beautiful show: excellent dancers, great guitarist, and singer; avoid the dinner with tapas.
Fantastic show. Simple venue and food. The performers were absolutely fabulous!
Excellent show we enjoy a lot we will come back
We look forward to welcoming you again! Melody
This place is way out in the suburbs!!! If you are staying any where central, it is far! The people were friendly, the food, is subpar, the entertainment so so. The three of us do not recommend!
I am so sorry you did not enjoy your experience as much as you should. Yes, our venue is in the suburbs as it is a venue that welcomes locals and tourists alike. We are 20 minutes on a direct metro line from Sol. Melody
Loved the flamenco show. Lovely dancers. Most enjoyable. Just missed the dancers using castanets. Also was hoping we would get the soup as advertised but the food was good.
We loved this show! The singing and dancing were amazing! The food was just okay and there was a bit of a language barrier between us and the waiter. Some confusion as to what we could order; it seemed as though there was a different menu for folks on a tour. Notwithstanding, we had a wonderful time!
Amazing show tonight at El Cortijo in the heart of of Vallecas, Madrid. It was so fresh, energetic and full of character! Brilliant trio of dancers, terrific singer and guitarist made for a special night. Worth every penny and will be back 👍❤️
Poor show with a terrible singer. Tab dancers were good as was guitarist. Food was poor—overcooked. I would not recommend this show to anyone!
I would highly recommend anyone visiting Madrid to partake in the Flamenco Show, Dinner and Workshop at Taberna Flamenca El Cortijo. Tired from a day of sightseeing, we declined to participate in the workshop part, so I cannot comment on it but I'm sure it would have been great based on everything else. The tickets included the show as well as an appetizer, entree, and a drink per person...so there was no extra or hidden charges at the end. We both started with the plate of Ibéricos (a delicious selection of local charcuterie). My husband had the Calamari and I had the Tortillia Española-- both were delicious. The real draw, though, is the show, which is by itself worth the full price of the ticket. We saw a group of 4 Flamenco performers (including two from Sevillia). All were supremely talented. The guitarist was epic, flawless really. The vocalist was an 18-year old (could not believe the pipes, control, and dexterity this kid had)! Both dancers were extremely talented not only musically but as storytellers... moving at times with the lightness of a butterfly and at other times-- the zapateado felt and sounded like a pack of 10 horses galloping. So exciting! There were two sets with a short break in between (#costumechange). This place is outside of the center of Madrid, but not by much. It was extremely fast, safe, and inexpensive to take an Uber to and from the venue from our hotel in the Center (The Westin Palace). Highly recommend!!!
The pre show workshop was fun and educational. The show was excellent and lots of food and celebrations.
