    Vermut and pork belly.
    Prasath S.

    Another must try when visiting Madrid. We went twice in our 6 day stay! While the menu maybe small, everything they put out is fantastic! The main attraction here is the fried cod/bacalao which is a crispy fish filet that is done so well it's hard to explain. The batter is crispy yet not overall greasy and the fish inside is flaky and just an absolute delight. They also cook these in batches, so the food stays fresh and warm when you consume it. They also do a terrific fried pork belly here (aka Torrenzos) and idk how they do it this good but once against tastes crunchy without feeling overly fatty like pork belly can tend to be. They also do a very good version of the Gilda! Get one of each item and wash it down with an excellent glass of vermut and you are good! I believe they have 2 locations, but my recommendation would be always to go the original one with the red signage. Staff is friendly and attentive and the vibe inside is relaxed and all standing room only.

    Fried cod - 2 peices of bacalao
    Lina W.

    I came here based on the recommendation of James Blick and this was the one of the his recommendations that lived up to expectations for me. When I saw the long line out the door on late Saturday morning, I was disheartened but thankfully the line moved fast. The bacalao (fried salted cod) was unbelievably juicy and delicious! The fried pork belly was also crispy, salty and juicy. This all paired nicely with light beer. It's a fun spot and it the prices are super reasonable!

    SO GOOD!!! After walking around plaza mayor avoid all the crappy restaurants and come here to grab a few plates of Bacalao (fried cod) and croquettes! The waiter we ordered from spoke English and was so helpful with suggestions, everything sounded delicious and if I have been more hungry, I definitely would've tried other things they had. Definitely a must stop on your tapas tour! Tinto de verano here also was delicious, idk if it tasted better, because the food was so good or what, but you gotta order one!

    Bacalao and croquetas are king here, and for good reason. Crispy tapas, award-winning cañas, and a great atmosphere. Make this one of your bacalao stops when in town.

    Patatas bravas (takeout)
    Gab G.

    Got takeout from Revuelta and it was maybe the best food we had in Madrid (even wolfing it down in our hotel room cold haha). Pollo en pepitoria, campera and pastas bravas were all amazing! Will definitely dine in here if I'm ever back in Madrid.

    Local spot that didnt seem to have many tourists when I visited.  These fried pieces of cod were freshly done!
    Stephanie S.

    Soo simply, I love it! Based on the pics and recommendation, I'm guessing the specialty here is their fried bacalau. At 3EU, it is just perfect snack/light meal with a cana! The piece of fried cod is usually done to order...unless they have a fresh one waiting in the window. I don't think the owner spoke English, but communication wasn't an issue. Place with busy with middle-aged locals! To me, this is a good sign!

    I ended up coming here just for a quite tapa bite, so I had some beer and the bacalao, which is a piece of fried fish. It was really good and very well made, crispy on the outside and nice and flaky on the inside, but I don't quite get the hype of this place. While good, I've had better fried fish before, and it's not really good enough to merit making my way out to just this place to try. But if I was living in the area and wanted a quick snack, I'd definitely come here to have it, cause it is still good.

    Fried cod

    Limited English but extremely friendly service. The fried cod was extremely crispy on the outside and the fish was flaky and juicy on the inside. One of the better snacks we've had in Madrid.

    Súper recomendado! Bacalao was amazing! Boquerones and everything else. It's a must if your visit Madrid

    Crisp yet tender bacalao fritters w/ mosto (grape juice).
    Ayumi I.

    The best fish fritter I ever had! Bacalao was so moist and hot, but the outer layer was so crispy. We visited the place right after opening time on a weekday. There were a few locals came to eat quickly and go, but it was not clouded at all. We had a bacalao fritter for each of us. We were told to wait for 5 minutes at first. After 5 minutes, freshly fried bacalaos came from the kitchen... and alas, it was so good! My 5-star scoring is solely based on the food. Service was quick but not so welcoming. But I didn't expect them to be friendly from the first point, so it didn't bother. I think if you're visiting Madrid, this is one of Do-no-miss places.

    Fried fish
    Logan C.

    Stopped in here at the end of the night and was lucky to get the fried fish before they closed. Despite the fact that they were not fresh they were still crispy and tasty. Local spot for sure, definitely pop in and grab some fish and a beer. If ours were hot/fresh, this would likely be a five.

    Pincho de bacalao con caña
    Carlos D.

    La Revuelta in Madrid's historic district is a must when visiting Plaza Mayor. The place is small and noisy, and the crumbled napkins and toothpicks on the floor give it a filthy look. The service is rude by non-spanish standards and there is hardly any place to sit, forcing you to eat your food standing at the bar. So how can this place get so many stars?.... EL BACALAO (The Cod!). Battered in their own secret recipe and fried until golden these little cod pinchos are little bites of heaven. The plan is simple, walk in, ask for a mini-beer (caña) and a bacalao. You'll be in and out in 10 mins. DELICIOUS. Also the croquetas de jamon (cured ham croquettes) are very good

When we left at 12:45 PM, every table was filled with a few patrons waiting to sit/stand. When you get in, have some people grab a seat while one person goes to the front to order. Their tortillas are sold by the piece, which is one sixth of a giant circular frittata. They also sell croquettes in pairs and there's a discount for getting 8. Most patrons got the original, which is egg + potato. We tried the Brie, which was a crowd pleaser. Cheesy and eggy, with bites of cooked potato for texture. Also, got a goat cheese + caramelized onion one that was more goat cheese than onion. Would sub this one out if I come back. Got 4 jamon and 4 carrilerra (cheeks) croquettes. I thought they were medium sized based on the other Madrid croquettes we had. All croquettes we had on this trip were great, and these were certainly on par. I can see why Pez Tortilla is so popular with many locations. It's a hearty meal at a very affordable price.

You can tell by looking around, the place was emptyish while the tapas places nearby and across the street were full. We actually went inside the restaurant across this place, it was touristy and extremely expensive, we thought, this is not the experience we wanted. We left and entered the Sidreria. Here goes nothing... Here is the lowdown: it is CHEAP, LARGE PORTION sizes, DELICIOUS, super FRIENDLY (bar tender did Everything and was really nice to us. It helped that I speak spanish though) and were you get FREE TAPAS with your drink. Tell me when was the last time you got free tapas in a touristy bar? We ordered a Tinto de Verano (red wine, lemon soda and splash of vermouth) and it was great, cost about 2 euros or so! the only beer though, was San Miguel, but it tastes much better from tap than bottle, we repeated our orders shortly after downing the first batch. The free tapa came as a surprise, we had ordered several (including fried calamari already, and a tortilla) portions again, were cheap and huge. We were full then. At the next round of drinks, another free tapa came. I was surprised again and as a sign of respect, we ate it all again. No comments. A plate of peanuts and soft bread topped with a mayo/potato/fake crab meat. It looked so simple but it was so good! That's when they got me. Simple-delicious (like the tomato on bread and Olive oil) that's it. I was sold and happy we decidedly to enter.

    I've been visiting Malaespina for over a decade -- from my time living in Madrid to every trip back…read more-- and one thing has never changed: it's easily one of the best spots in Madrid for a no-frills, delicious tapas meal and amazing sangria. The quality of the food has remained consistent for the 10 years I've been visiting! Tucked away just off Sol, Malaespina is the epitome of a classic Madrid taverna. The inviting, unpretentious atmosphere, the cozy charm, the prices, the energy -- it's hard to capture it all in words. There's a certain magic at Malaespina. The tavern has been around for hundreds of years, and I often wonder what it was like a century ago. I'm always amazed that such a gem exists in the heart of Madrid, a city center filled with tourist traps. Malaespina draws both locals and tourists -- and for good reason. The food quality to price ratio is unbeatable. On our most recent visit, we had huevos estrellados, tortilla tapas, sangria, and espressos, and spent about $20 for the two of us. You really can't beat that! Here's hoping they stick around for many more years to come.

When we first sat down they gave us a welcome bruschetta and bread for free which were pretty decent portions. We then ordered our food and it was pretty good as well. We ordered their half chicken (pollo asado con patatas), sirloin steak, and Malaspina tosta. The portions were huge and we definitely over ordered. We thought they were more the size of tapas but each dish was a huge portion itself which definitely isn't a bad thing. The food tasted pretty good but I think it just lacked flavor occasionally. All the meat was cooked well and was very juicy, just could use a little more flavor. Otherwise everything was good. Solid 4 stars

I never thought I'd have room for dessert but when the server said they had hazelnut gelato I knew I had to get it. Well, let's just say we did not waste any of it! Even my husband who's normally not a sweets person ate his fair share cause it was so good! We had a great time there, and the prices were extremely reasonable.
