#1
Bodega de la Ardosa
Malasaña·$
Croquetas
€3.50
Golden fried croquettes, likely ham or cheese based on traditional recipes.
Tip: These come out warm and golden — order them with a caña to keep them from getting cold while you chat at the bar.
#2
Malacatín
La Latina·$$
Croquetas de Jamón
€10.50
Homemade ham croquettes with creamy béchamel.
Tip: A lighter opening to a meal if you plan to order the full cocido after.
#3
Juana La Loca
Centro·$$
Croquetas de Setas
€7.50
Mushroom croquettes with creamy béchamel center.
Tip: One or two croquetas makes a good light snack alongside the tortilla.
#4
Casa Camacho
Malasaña·$
Croquetas
€3.50
Golden croquettes, house-made daily.
Tip: Come before 2 AM for warm croquetas fresh from the kitchen—after midnight they sit too long.

La Pescadería de Hermosilla
Salamanca·$$$
Croquetas de Jamón
€9.00
Five béchamel croquettes filled with Jamón Ibérico, served golden-brown and hot.
Tip: Five pieces is a good starter portion for one person. Eat them immediately when they arrive while the outside is still crispy and the filling is creamy.
