The Casa Mingo Restaurant of Madrid !!!

Posted in Food and Wine, Madrid, Spain

This is one of the all time traditional restaurants of Madrid. I have come here for zillion times with the family as a young boy and then repeat visits. I took my sons as it would be a different place for them to soak up the Spanish cider tradition and the Asturians very popular around my previous places of living.  Again, another nostalgic spot in my Madrid, Therefore ,here is my take on the Casa Mingo restaurant of Madrid !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Casa Mingo is a popular restaurant / tavern in Madrid famous for serving roast chicken along with bottles of cider (one of its specialties). The dishes offered correspond to traditional Madrid cuisine with trends in Asturian cuisine. It is located on the Paseo de la Florida 2 near Glorieta de San Vicente on the banks of the Manzanares River, next to the Hermitage of San Antonio de la Florida. (see post)

This house was inaugurated by Domingo García González in 1888 in the space that extends the Campo del Moro, occupying the old warehouse materials. It was a place where Asturians worked in the old North Station (now Principe Pio Station). This place gradually became a meeting point at the beginning of the 20C of Asturians who emigrated to Madrid. The splendor of the tavern is due to that time. It was customary at the beginning of the 20C to go as a family to eat at Casa Mingo, a tradition that continues today.

The tavern has two floors. The ground floor is very spacious. At the top there is a terrace with benches where you can eat. In the spring and summer months, terraces are installed to serve a large clientele. The tables are made of wood and tiled floors providing a traditional atmosphere maintained since its inauguration in the 19C , In addition to the main dining room, they have outdoor seating and a rooftop as well.  Come here to enjoy with plenty of tortillas, chorizos, the great Mahou five stars beer , and cider!!! to finish!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
