Pizza!
This is a really great place to get good, cheap pizza in a fun neighborhood. They have a really wide variety and most of the pizzas cost around 7 euros (for a lot of food). And 1 euro copas (glasses of beer/wine)!!! The staff can seem a bit unfriendly, but they're not so bad once you get used to it, and they always fill the wine glasses up to the top. I recommend the spinach and goat cheese pizza and the three cheese.
Bottles of wine for 5 euros!

An excellent used book store. They lured me in with a box of 1 euro books sitting out front (including those awesome little pulp fiction paper books about violence in the Wild West) and I spent a good while looking around. They've got tons of poetry and a large selection of literary criticism. Lots of old and interesting editions. What surprised me most was that they had several issues of the Latin American literary magazine Nuevo Mundo from the 1960s.

Really delightful decor and a nice atmosphere, but the cafe con leche is far inferior to El Rincon's (11870.com/pro/el-rincon-madrid), which is just up the street. Still, they offer a 2.50 euro breakfast, which is a coffee/tea and a tosta. I've tried the tomato tosta and it was really good. On nice days they open up the windows and it's very bright and pleasant.

A bit like Tupperware in Malasaña, but smaller, more laid back, and generally superior. The crowd is young and there to awkwardly dance. I was there on a Thursday night and they played almost exclusively American (and some British) rock from the '60s and '70s plus, curiously--and much to everyone's apparent delight-- "That Thing You Do" from the 1996 Tom Hanks movie of the same name.
Fun and cool.
Very helpful. Decent coffee ;)
Great people, cheap wine
Some friends of mine lived on the same street as Casa Dani for a few months and we became regulars and eventually friends with Dani (and his mom too!). They're great people and they serve amazing cheese and very cheap (but not bad!) wine. A perfect place to start off an evening in La Latina.
Very good ensalada de bonito. Order it so that you can see Dani yell to his mom in the back room where she prepares it.

A very cool cafe. I went there to read during the middle of the day usually, but it's also a great place to have a beer or coffee with friends. Local art on the walls, friendly staff, decent coffee. A generally pleasant place to be. I definitely recommend it if you're just looking to hang around at a cafe, though it can get kind of crowded in the evenings.
Above average tortilla.

calamari!
Hands down the best fried calamari I've ever had. 11 euros for a plate of it (to share) and it's worth every cent. Plus the guys who work there are funny.

have a drink, sing a song
One of my favorite bars in La Latina. If you walk in on a Friday or Saturday night at around 12 you'll probably find people ranging in age from 20-50 drinking and singing along to old Spanish songs or Broadway musical soundtracks. The decor is confusing but delightful (Charlie Chaplin posters...musical instruments hung up on the wall...a Beethoven poster...), the crowd is varied and fun, and the music is always something you can either dance or sing to. The two owners bartend and they're really fun and hilarious. Also, there's a large back room with plenty of tables so it's a good spot to meet up with friends for an extended period of time.
Bonus: it's across the street from Casa Dani (11870.com/pro/taberna-casa-dani).
