Best Callos a la Madrileña in Madrid

Callos a la madrileña are slow-cooked beef tripe in a paprika-rich sauce with chorizo and morcilla. Order **"una ración de callos a la madrileña"** *(a portion of Madrid-style tripe)* and ask for bread because the sauce is part of the dish. Expect 10-22€ in taverns and more in chef-led offal restaurants. The trap is ordering callos as a dare; the good versions are gelatin-rich, deeply savory, and best in cold weather with vermouth or red wine.
