This restaurant is famous for its shark dishes, as the tradition of shark cooking is still very present in Spanish and Basque life. The restaurant also serves pinchos, which are small meals, which are held together by a wooden stick usually inserted through layers of food on top of a piece of bread. The size is small, and the bill in the end depends on the number of wood sticks on the plate. Chacolina maintains this Spanish tradition with its experimental variety of pinchos, in its casual and charming atmosphere. Chacolina also has a lively atmosphere. Besides its tempting food, it has become the center of Madrid's nightlife.
