Pez Tortilla
Tortilla, croquetas and craft beer at Calle del Pez 36 in Malasaña, the original of seven Pez Tortilla sites and holder of a Solete in the Guía Repsol. The house started as three childhood friends who liked bars, lightly-set tortilla and creamy croquetas, and wrote it down on a bar napkin. Lively, walk-in friendly and cheap.

Pez Tortilla - @peztortilla 🇪🇸 Madrid - Spain Food doesn't need to be expensive or sophisticated to be greatly enjoyed. Pez Tortilla, a classic in Madrid, is proof of that. Possibly some of the best Spanish tortillas and croquetas in Madrid. Particularly recommended is the ham, brie and truffle to

Hay decisiones difíciles en la vida… como escoger entre tortilla o croquetas 🤯 Por suerte, en este sitio de Valencia no hace falta escoger solo una. Hemos probado un local muy top donde las tortillas de patatas y las croquetas se hacen con cariño, recetas bien pensadas y a un precio que sorprende

Pez Tortilla makes an excellent tortilla de patatas and we love ours runny in the middle, which they do perfectly. We love their classics but this time ordered their sun-dried tomato, parmesan, and basil omelet and the brie, truffle and ham omelet. 10/10! Also, we loved their croquetas with mushroom

Background
About Pez Tortilla
The Story
Pez Tortilla began, in its own telling, as the classic story of three friends: three childhood mates who liked bars, lightly-set tortilla, creamy croquetas and craft beer, sketching it out on a bar napkin over a few of them. This Calle del Pez room is the original; the group now lists six others, five more in Madrid and one in Valencia.
The Cuisine
Three things, done over and over: potato tortilla on the runny side of set, croquetas made creamy, and craft beer to go with both. The tortilla comes in flavours as well as the classic, with toppings such as brie, parmesan, truffle, basil and sun-dried tomato, and the croquetas run from puchero (cocido) to boletus with truffle. The taps lean on craft beer, IPAs included. It's bar food, and the house doesn't pretend otherwise.

Pez Tortilla Dining Experience
Lively, cosy and casual, with a bar to stand at and no expectation that you booked. The food style is comfort food and the price feel is good value, which is roughly the whole proposition. It stays open to midnight most nights and to one in the morning Thursday to Saturday.

Nearby
Malasaña is where the city keeps its energy, a tight web of streets that turns over fast and stays up late. The eating is young and restless, with vegan kitchens, coffee bars and creative rooms wedged between places that have not changed in decades. It runs down to Gran Vía, and it rewards walking without a plan.
