Mini Bocadillo de Calamares
€3.50
Half-size version of the signature squid sandwich.
Tip: The mini bocadillo is often enough alongside a café or vermouth — saves €3-4 and prevents over-eating.

Sándwich Mixto (Ham and Cheese Sandwich)
€4.50
Classic toasted sandwich with jamón serrano, cheese, and tomato.
Tip: The mixto is a reliable second choice if calamares are too heavy for the time of day — lighter but equally satisfying.

Bocadillo de Calamares (Squid Sandwich)
€7.00
Tender fried squid rings on a soft baguette, Madrid's most famous sandwich.
Tip: Order the full bocata (€7) unless you're very small-appetited — the sandwich is substantial and one is often a complete meal.
