Corral de la Morería

La Latina·$$$

Croquetas de Jamón

€12.00

Creamy ham croquettes with crispy golden exterior and molten interior.

Tip: These pair beautifully with a Fino Sherry — ask the sommelier for a recommendation from the 1200+ bottle cellar. The saltiness of ham and the dry nuttiness of Fino create harmony.

Cervecería Alemana

Huertas·$$

Croquetas (Ham or Chicken)

€7.00

Creamy béchamel-based croquettes filled with jamón or pollo.

Tip: Skip the croquetas here and order the boquerones or gambas instead — those showcase the bar's heritage better.

Casa Julio

Malasaña·$

Croquetas de Queso Azul (Blue Cheese Croquettes)

€8.50

Gorgonzola or blue cheese mixed with béchamel and fried until crispy.

Tip: Ask about raisins in the blue cheese croqueta — some batches include them, some don't. Specify your preference when ordering.

Casa Julio

Malasaña·$

Croquetas de Bonito (Bonito Tuna Croquettes)

€8.50

Fried bonito tuna with caramelized onion and béchamel.

Tip: Try the bonito if you've only had classic ham or spinach croquetas — it's Casa Julio's proof they're still experimenting.

Paco Roncero

Centro·$$$$

Croqueta Sphere with Jamón and Béchamel

€18.00

Spanish ham croquette deconstructed — foam, crisp, and jamón elements separate and reimagined.

Tip: This is comfort food as art. It's whimsical but never frivolous — each element serves a purpose.

Casa Julio

Malasaña·$

Croquetas de Espinacas (Spinach Croquettes)

€8.00

Creamy spinach and cheese croquettes, one of Casa Julio's original creations.

Tip: Ask if they have the spinach croquetas available — they sell out first because they're the only vegetarian option.

Casa Julio

Malasaña·$

Croquetas de Picadillo (Ground Meat Croquettes)

€8.00

Minced pork or beef cooked down with sofrito and béchamel.

Tip: Mix croqueta flavors in a single order — select 3 ham, 2 spinach, 1 bonito to get a varied tasting.

Malasaña·$

Croquetas de Jamón (Ham Croquettes)

Arzábal

Retiro·$$$

Iberian Ham Croquetas with Latxa Cheese

€8.00

Creamy Iberian ham croqueta studded with aged Latxa sheep's milk cheese.

Tip: Order these — they're the standout tapa and worth going back for.
