Yes, I need somebody YELP!
I recently did several Yelp! reviews on places I liked to eat in the Spanish capital.
If you’re not familiar, Yelp! is a popular restaurant review website that has become wildly popular in the last handful of years.
When I’m home in Houston my best friend eats at all these cool hole in the wall places and ethnic food joints where only people of that ethnicity eat there (Jamaican bars from heaven, a Korean place that was perfect for birthday lunch, funky kareoke bars, and the yummiest alcoholic slushies ever). So, because of her I trust Yelp!
I logged on to their site the other day because I was looking for the name of a restaurant in Madrid, and then got on a kick reviewing places I’d eaten in the city. Then, I realized I could probably find the names of all the places we ate at that I never knew, or have forgotten.

Actually, there was a kebab place I LOVED in Madrid, whose name I never actually knew when I was living there, and no one else knew it either. I found its name on Yelp! and I cannot even begin to tell you how happy it made me.
I knew what neighbourhood it is in, and had a general idea of what street it was near, and because of how Yelp! is set up, I found it pretty fast.
BEYOND PLEASED
It’s called Atena (the Spanish name for Athens, the Greek city) and (as you would know if you read my review or the original post where I recommended the place) its incredible and felt like a piece of home.
If you’re interested in where I ate in Madrid, and what I thought of it, here is a link to my Yelp! page https://www.yelp.com
