“ Really tasty food and fast service :) portions are big so dont over order, like we did ”
“ Visiting Madrid we bumped into this lovely bar. Stopped for some tapas and a drink. Absolutely loved the meatballs. Portions are really generous. ”
“ The molletes (muffins) were very good and the portion was huge!! Great supper option - although they serve pretty much the same kinds of food in different forms (like muffin or pan). Ambience was great, cosy and authentic. There was a short line at 10pm on Friday but it cleared quickly (also a line at other times of the day actually). Staff were friendly and their service was prompt. Note that drinks menu were not included in their main menu, so you need to refer to somewhere else or ask the service staff. Overall - Recommended! ”
“ Los Rotos has a wonderful, warm, and cozy cafe vibe. I would’ve loved to visit for dinner as well! We went early for breakfast and the food was amazing (huge portions of egg and ham, I could’ve gotten away with sharing!) everyone was so kind there too, the next time we visit Spain, we’ll make a stop here again ”
“ Delicious dishes, and above all VERY hearty and generous portions. As a big eater, I tried two “mollettes”: the Serrano ham and the chorizo. Honestly, one would have been more than enough. We were seated in a quiet area at the back of the restaurant, it wasn’t noisy, but we did eat during off-peak hours. The chicken decor was quite funny. You won’t be disappointed! ”
“ Amazing place to eat here in Madrid. You have to get the huesos rotos. The skillet plate with Chistorra is absolutely amazing and a must. They have really good potatos and seafood as well. I think this is a nice lowkey place to try. Not super touristy either. ”
“ Worth a visit! We went here on a Saturday evening and had to wait in line for a little bit. I think they were managing the work load because it was very busy and there were only 2 waiters for the whole restaurant but it resulted in quite a long waiting time infront of the restaurant. It might have been better to seat us fist (because there were empty tables) and have us wait with a drink than have us stand in line but ok: that’s the only critique I have. Once we sat the service was super fast and friendly. We ordered 2 beers, a huge plate of pimentos di padron, croquettas with cod and two of the signature “muffins”. And let me tell you: it was all delicious. I had the ratatouille muffins and my boyfriend the one with Jambon. Portion sizes were crazy for the price and the restaurant has a cute interior! 10/10 !! ”
“ We stumbled upon this gem while on our mission to find a local spot, and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth the hunt. The menu offered an impressive range of options, from pans and cold mollets to a variety of veal, pig, and seafood dishes, as well as some fantastic seasonal choices. After some contemplation, I went with the Duck and Foie under *Rotos De Luxe*, the Castilian soup from the seasonal section, and the Taquitos de Pincho Moruno from the "Of The Pigs" category. The lean pork was so tender it practically melts in your mouth. The Duck and Foie were perfectly succulent, rich in flavor, and the Castilian soup had just the right balance of warmth and depth. It was the kind of meal that makes you forget about everything else going on around you. The vibe of the place added an extra layer to the experience.Can't wait to go back! ”
