Yelp After living in Madrid, I am always on the lookout for a good Spanish restaurant. I've been coming to Babareeba for years, and the reason I keep coming back is because this is far and away the best…

Yelp Great food and great service.The amount of food you get for the amount of money you spend really depends on what you get. I think the meat tapas could be a little less as well as some of the seafood…
