My biggest recommendation (having lived in Spain a couple of times, though not in Madrid) is to at least at one point try their version of the fast food joint - Pans and Company. Fresh, really crunchy baghet (I completely just blanked on how to spell that) loaves filled the lots of things. The traditional is tortilla (Spanish omelette) and that is my favorite.
Also, try "chocolate". If you want a hot chocolate and ask for that, you are likely to get Cola Cao, which is their version of stir and mix. "Chocolate" is essentially a melted chocolate bar in a cup. Far better, if you like chocolate.
Chorizo doens't get better than in Spain, and jamon iberica is a must.
