JAZBA Café Bar
Quick Verdict
Locals come back because the churrasco is reliable, the tapa-with-a-drink system works, and you're not paying tourist prices for homemade food in the centre.
Go if you want a proper lunch or café stop without pretence, where a coffee automatically comes with a tapa and the churrasco actually tastes like it was cooked that morning.
About JAZBA Café Bar
JAZBA Café Bar is a modern-looking counter café in Santiago centro that does one thing well: feeds you properly without emptying your wallet. Walk in for a morning coffee and they'll slide a tapa across the counter. Stay for lunch and you'll find 3 or 4 daily options—churrasco de cerdo, churrasco de ternera, croquetas caseras—all slightly different from the usual run. The croquetas come oversized and homemade. The tortilla pincho is solid. Service is attentive without fussing. Reviewers who've been back multiple times praise the value most: €1–10 gets you fed, not rushed, in a clean, quiet space that works for a solo coffee, a team meeting, or a proper lunch. No menu theatre, no lengthy waits for food. The staff are described as "great professionals and better people" by locals who've made it a habit.
What Stands Out
Churrasco at sensible prices
Multiple reviewers singled out the pork and beef churrasco as "very good" and "a must-try", with one noting it's a regular reason to return. Priced within the €1–10 range for the whole venue.
Homemade croquetas that overshoot expectations
Reviewers described croquetas as "homemade-looking and slightly bigger than expected (no complaints, more croqueta, better)" and flagged ham croquetas specifically as unmissable.
Tapa included with every drink, no fuss
"Always they put a tapa, the coffee is rich and the service attentive." Reviewers consistently praised the standard practice of a free tapa with coffee or a drink, calling it "abundant and delicious".

Start with a coffee or beer—a tapa comes free. If you're eating, the churrasco de cerdo and churrasco de ternera are the reason locals return. The croquetas de jamón are homemade and oversized. Tortilla pincho with the morning coffee is solid.
Yes. Reviewers specifically praised it as "ideal for group or team meetings", quiet enough to talk, and the kitchen can handle multiple orders without rush. No reservations, but arrive before lunch rush (12:30) to avoid a wait on weekends.
€1–10 for the whole venue. A coffee with tapa is under €3. A churrasco plate runs €6–8. Reviewers called it "unbeatable value for money in the area."
No online booking available. Walk in during off-peak hours (mid-morning, 2–4pm) for a seat. Lunch service (1–3pm) fills up, especially weekends.
