Most-loved dishes
AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
StreetXO Madrid’s most-praised dish is the wonton fritto, a crispy, indulgent bite. The overall vibe is electric and playful, with bold, inventive flavors that surprise and delight.
“This is fried wanton, should be quite lemony in flavor with sour cream. There's also some corn, the cob. Stuffed and fried. Very good, extremely crunchy, fried very well. A new taste, I've never tried anything like it. Hard to describe what it reminds me of. Cool.”
What creators say
1 creator has covered StreetXO Madrid. Most active: Giuliacrossbow
StreetXO offers a unique, high-energy dining experience with a focus on experimental street food from a Michelin-starred chef. The ambiance is vibrant, almost overwhelmingly so, with loud music and an open kitchen creating a lively, albeit sometimes chaotic, atmosphere. While some dishes, like the crispy wontons and the flavorful empanadas, are definite highlights, others, such as the pork belly with mussels, feel conceptually muddled. The deconstructed Korean lasagna shows promise with its rich ragu but is let down by incongruous fresh tomatoes. Service can be brusque, with a language barrier for non-Spanish speakers, and the high prices, especially for cocktails, contribute to a significant overall cost. It's an experience driven by novelty and the chef's reputation, with culinary hits and misses.
Dishes mentioned
Empanada scroccante con i Gyoza
This is a sort of delicate meat ravioli with a crunchy, fried, dry component, extremely flavorful, and the cucumber cuts through the richness. There's a nice sweet and sour play. The presentation on a sheet with blood stains is a bit trashy for me, but flavor-wise it's very good, nice and crunchy.
Park Belly con cozze
This is pork belly with mussels, salad, mint, parsley, various sauces to compose your own sandwich. The idea of putting mussels with the belly, crispy bacon, is a bit paradoxical. The pork belly melts in your mouth, the mint is fresh, but you don't taste the mussel much—it's covered by the creamy sauce. I wonder if the mussel was really necessary. The pork belly alone is delicious, it explodes in your mouth. But there's too much greenery, it feels wasteful.
Wonton fritto
This is fried wanton, should be quite lemony in flavor with sour cream. There's also some corn, the cob. Stuffed and fried. Very good, extremely crunchy, fried very well. A new taste, I've never tried anything like it. Hard to describe what it reminds me of. Cool.
Lasagna coreana scomposta
This is called Korean lasagna on the menu. It's deconstructed lasagna with kimchi, lots of spices. The meat is very dark, well-cooked, very fatty, aromatic. I think there's cinnamon in it. It has a bit of a porridge effect. There's a crunchy component. It objectively tastes like lasagna with kimchi. The fresh cherry tomatoes don't add much flavor, but overall it's good. This was the thing that surprised me the most—really good.
