Overview

Slow Mex is a mexican restaurant in the central Malasaña neighbourhood of Madrid. Malasaña in general is quite a hilly area of the city - but then, a lot of Madrid is in general. The restaurant is accessed by a large ramp, and the whole place is entirely step-free. The food is delicious and there should be something for everybody (they also have a vegetarian and a vegan burrito available). They have a large craft beer selection, on tap and in their bottles fridge. Their margaritas are also worth trying! There were six of us in the party and nobody was disappointed. The restaurant is owned by Marc, who assisted me (in English) over the phone when I called to make a reservation. He came over when we were at the restaurant and asked how everything was, and really tried his best to make sure that everything had worked out OK for us. Could not recommend the service more highly!

Transport & Parking

Madrid is unfortunately not great for wheelchair-friendly public transport, particularly in this area due to its narrow, winding, hilly streets (very beautiful, not very practical...). Buses are wheelchair-friendly but would not take you directly here.

Access

There are no steps at all in the restaurant, and you enter using a big ramp. We had a table in the middle and did not have any space issues during the night, even though it was Saturday and the place was full.

Toilets

The toilets are along a corridor, and marked as female toilets. They are large, with a grab rail, and enough space for comfortable manoeuvring. Entirely step-free access.

Staff

The staff are very friendly, and have assisted us in English and Spanish. The owner, Marc, is Irish. They were eager to help us select food and drinks, and to tell us about the menu - and Madrid - in general.
