Quick and delicious ! I ordered a portion of bacalao, torrezno, and a glass of tinto de verano. Came out to almost €12 for all 3. Not a bad deal at all read more

Revuelta was dangerously close to my airbnb, that I ended up swinging by for a bite multiple times during my short stay in Madrid! I would typically stick with their Bacalao, which is what they're known for. Perfectly crispy exterior but soft, flaky interior. The fried pork reminded me of a dish from one of my favorite dive bars back home, so it was great to have a taste of home across the world. Vermouth was also spot on, as expected! read more

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. read more

Servers and atmosphere was amazing! I had a great glass of wine from Rioja. I tried some of the fried fish and it was amazing! I will definitely return to try some other things! read more

Solid. Great local vibes. Get the cod fish- so good. Sangria also very good. Put it on your list

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

What I wanted to find for true tapas. Only served 5 things, all were great. Pork, tuna empanada and cod stood out. Must try.

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. read more

Great atmosphere - try to sit inside and enjoy the food. Should be on the must visit list.

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. read more

Revuelta - Crisp yet tender bacalao fritters w/ mosto (grape juice). - Tapas Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

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. read more

Revuelta - Fried fish - Tapas Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

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 read more

Revuelta - Pincho de bacalao con caña - Tapas Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

This tiny bar is a good stop for a snack or break while in Madrid. It's not really the place for a full meal. During my visit it was full of locals enjoying a beer and tapas of fried cod. Things to know: There is no menu. The tapas on bar are the options. You order at the bar and pay. You can either stand at the bar or if there is space, you may get lucky and grab a seat. Their cod is awesome. Fried perfectly, it's the right about of grease and flacky fish. read more

We went in for tapas & drinks, unfortunately didn't get a table, so took an open spot at the bar. Service wasn't really friendly, but he was very good. The not friendly part is more of an image than a trait i guess. He still was offering suggestions and instant refills. We tasted our way through and everything was delicious, especially the calamare and the fish ! Just a wow of a place! read more

This place was alright. Our Airbnb host recommended it to us because it was close by and told us to get the fish! She said that it's not a great place for drinks and that it's for "older people" like herself and her husband. I would say that the fish is pretty good but not something I would rave about to others. It's light and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The entire place is really dirty and messy. Napkins and toothpicks all thrown all over the floors. I'm surprised other reviewers are okay with it and think that it's charming and gives it character. The servers(?) or hosts are all just standing off to the side. There were at least 2 that weren't doing anything that could've been sweeping and keeping the place neat. I don't get the hype but it was still decently enjoyable. The no menu thing kinda threw me off and I was really skeptical because it's a common scam for tourists --restaurants that don't have menus or don't have prices on their menus will jack up prices intentionally... I'm not sure if I paid something different but the price was acceptable. Overall, they're just known for their fish. We ordered some other stuff (sausage and cheese) and it was mediocre. read more

I didn't know what to expect when going to Casa Revuelta, but it is definitely not the type of place to go if you want a long, leisurely lunch. It can also be fairly intimidating to tourists if you don't speak Spanish, as there is no menu. I brought my mother and grandmother on the weekend and it was pandemonium; there were napkins strewn all over the floor, it was very crowded, and there was lots of yelling. However, we managed to carve out some space at the bar and ordered the fried bacalao (salted cod), which was very delicious. Overall, if you are looking for a quick snack, then head to Revuelta. On the other hand, if you are uncomfortable in crowded, chaotic places or want a larger meal, I would suggest going somewhere else. read more

Pay more for being a tourist, I give a big fat 0 if I could if you saw the YouTube video and and saw this place don't bother !! unless you want to get ripped off and pay more. They have special pricing for tourist and and special pricing for locals. The old man even gave me a snarky look for being a tourist and then realizing he's gonna give it to me by charging more. I went at opening so it wasn't even busy. You are better off going to Casa Labra than getting ripped off here read more

Stopped by here for a quick bite, I didn't realize there was no menu, but you're supposed to just get the fried cod anyways. The fried cod was nice and crispy. Some of the batter became soggy, but it was crispy for the most part. and the cod was flaky and moist. Really nice to eat with Mahou cerveza. Simple bar with tasty little seafood offerings, I wouldn't mind trying the squid in its own ink next time. read more

Great for a small bite As a tapas bar, don't expect a full course meal. However, the small plates they offer are splendid, especially the bacalao (fried cod). Perfectly crisp on the outside and tender meat on the inside, all without tasting too greasy. Would recommend as a place to hit after work or after being out all day as a way to kick back, grab a bite, and sip some beer. read more

If you're looking for an authentic tapas bar this is the place. The fried "bacalao" is the best I've ever eaten. I always stop here when I'm in Madrid. This is a must stop if you're at Plaza Mayor! read more

Too expensive for what they offer: pieces of oily fried fish which they serve even cold when they have less clients!! Bartenders have a nasty and impolite behaviour and the place does not look clean at all Also, we were there when a young woman came in saying that she had lost her mobile in this bar the day before, with very few clients in there. The bartender was so cold to her and did not empathise at all saying that "she most probably had lost it somewhere else"... After arguing that the last location and time shown by Google located it there and that she had left 5 minutes the bar had to close on the day before, she was equally not answered as if he even cared, so she left in tears... We did not like it, we do not recommend it at all! read more

People come here for one thing and one thing alone:the bacalao. I can safely say that Revuelta's bacalao is some of the best fried fish--nay--fish I've ever had. A gem of an establishment and should be visited by everyone at least once whilst in Madrid. read more

Great old school tapas place. My favorite type. Had the fried salt cod. It was excellent. Highly recommend. Can be very busy. We stopped by just before closing and grabbed a spot at the bar. read more

It's fun for a drink but don't eat here. Had lunch here two days ago. Ordered the fixed price menu. The first course of steamed veggies was leftover veggies soaked in oil and salt. Truly awful. Tuna as main course was so dry and over cooked I almost choked. Ate none of it. When the waiter took it, he didn't say a word that my plate was still full. Big waste of money. Can't believe a cook (won't not grant the word chef to whomever put that slop on mu plate) would dare not only to send it out but to charge for this. read more

I came here at 7PM with a friend and it was empty for about five minutes before everyone started to pile it. We were able to snag one of the three tables and ordered food and drinks at the bar. They have amazing bacalao (battered cod) and torreznos (pork 'scratchings'). Don't forget to wash the food down with their beer (Mahou)! read more

Unbelievably good cod, deep-fried, salty super moist on the inside. Pretty good Rioja, best albondigas I've had (of three total). Very good place to stop in for some good cod tapas. read more

It's a bar with beer, overly salty fried fish and free peanuts. As far I could see that's it. You throw the peanut shells on the floor, so the place looks super filthy, in a good way. read more
