RAVE - Casa Lucio, Madrid

It looks like all of these reviews of the restaurants we tried in Madrid are going to turn out as RAVES. How else can you vote, when you're working in Madrid and every evening is like being let out of the asylum?

Casa Lucio was our taxi driver's response to our request for a place that served Paella. At least he got us here quickly, because in every other respect he failed. After waiting 10 minutes to be shown to our table, which seemed to be through a warren of empty-table-filled rooms, up two flights of stairs and to the back of another empty-table-filled room, we sat down, ordered our cervezas, looked at the menu to find no paella, not even tapas.

Our enterprising foursome proved upstanding and resourceful however, so we ordered - and mostly shared - the Chorizo, Huevos Estrellas, Ensalada Lechuga, Cordero Asada, Merluza Romana, and Cochinillo Asado. That lot proved to be mostly pork, ham, and eggs. All were equally outstanding, and we left through the now bustling and completely packed restaurant, at close to midnight.
