We got here right when it opened at 12PM on Sunday. There were about 12 patrons when things got settled. When we left at 12:45 PM, every table was filled with a few patrons waiting to sit/stand. When you get in, have some people grab a seat while one person goes to the front to order. Their tortillas are sold by the piece, which is one sixth of a giant circular frittata. They also sell croquettes in pairs and there's a discount for getting 8. Most patrons got the original, which is egg + potato. We tried the Brie, which was a crowd pleaser. Cheesy and eggy, with bites of cooked potato for texture. Also, got a goat cheese + caramelized onion one that was more goat cheese than onion. Would sub this one out if I come back. Got 4 jamon and 4 carrilerra (cheeks) croquettes. I thought they were medium sized based on the other Madrid croquettes we had. All croquettes we had on this trip were great, and these were certainly on par. I can see why Pez Tortilla is so popular with many locations. It's a hearty meal at a very affordable price. read more

Pez Tortilla - you cannot miss this place anytime you visit Madrid. Ordered their classic tortilla, ham croquettas, vermut & beer. Their classic tortilla is runny creamy flavorful and delicious. Their croquettas were amazing.. we tried both the ham and mushroom ones and both were amazing. Their vermut was refreshing and tasty. Service is very quick and staff is friendly. It is a local fav spot cos we saw many friends just hanging out enjoying their tortillas beer and having a good time. A fantastic place to try the spanish tortillas. Highly recommend. read more

Pez Tortilla offers flavorful tortillas and a decent selection of beers. The room is pretty tight and doesn't offer convenient seating for groups larger than 4 unless you drag round pub tables together. Even then, though, the volume of the room will prevent you from holding much of a conversation past the person next to you. The service was very good. Order at the counter and you'll get it delivered to your table quickly. read more

tl;dr the ambitious lineup of tortillas and croquetas is worth navigating the out-the-door queues at this Malasaña tapas bar Across tapas staples, one lesser-known dish is tortilla española (Spanish omelette). This fritata-like dish traditionally features potatoes and onion, but one popular tapas bar, Pez Tortilla, is known for pushing the boundaries of tortillas. This casual spot on Calle de Pez has a whimsical menu of tortillas and croquetas: think ingredients like morcilla (blood sausage) and squid ink. The consistent late-night crowds will confirm that these are some of the best in the city. Blink and you might miss the diminutive, hole-in-the-wall bar. The storefront is largely unadorned, and the interior features a minimalist-modern design. A single marble-topped table is tucked up to the window; other customers are relegated to a few barstools or left standing. The food menu is chalked onto a large whiteboard behind the far side of the bar; the sophisticated components will take time to review for the non-fluent. Drinks are listed on a giant backlit letterboard display on the opposite wall. Instrumental rock blends with multilingual chatter. Arrive early and don't be surprised to find yourself shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow patrons. My mother and I arrived in the pouring rain on a Thursday evening, and, still, every table was taken; fortunately, a party left as we were perusing the menu. I opted for the Brie, Trufa, y Jamon Tortilla; the Puchero de la Abuela and the Chipirones en Su Tinta Croquetas; and a small glass of vermouth. The quarter-slice of custardy, runny tortilla was rich, earthy, and mildly funky. It paired well with the chewy bread slices on the side. My only criticism was that I would have preferred it warmer than room temperature (although I concede that may have affected the consistency). Both croquetas sported an expertly crispy exterior with a molten, flavor-filled heart. Of the 2, I preferred the warm embrace of the chickpea stew-based rendition, although the briny squid ones were no slouch. Lastly, the vermouth, served on the rocks, was one of the strongest, most heavily spiced glasses that I have tried across Spain. Service was efficient -- the staff fulfilled orders like clockwork, and an employee was always ready to bus a newly empty table. Each component of our meal cost just 3-4 euros, and just these few items left me feeling content. These are by no means traditional tortillas españolas or croquetas. But, put simply, the flavors just work. read more

Super crowded and rowdy, but seems to be the hot spot in the neighbourhood with over 10k google reviews. We enjoyed a salty, savoury Brie, ham and truffle tortilla. Paired with a super sour, dark fruit beer at midnight and it was the perfect late night snack. read more

Small bar where you can enjoy tortilla or croquetas. No table service, probably because there isn't floor space to walk around. (Plus a sign says the staff is nude from the waist down, haha) You pick everything up from the bar. Good variety of beer, wine, and drinks are offered. read more

Delicious The best tortilla I've had in Madrid. It's a cozy place and be prepared to wait for a table or eat at the bar, but whichever you choose, it's worth it. read more

Great authentic bar vibe. The tortilla and beer is great, what more could you need. My favorite is the parmesan, basil and sun dried tomato flavor or the classic. It's packed in here and hard to find a table but a super upbeat and fun dinner environment read more

This place is such a mood. A very popular hole-in-the-wall in the artsy district of Madrid. Obviously known for the tortillas and beer but I'm here to talk about those olives (see attached photo). I really don't care for olives but I could have eaten those all day. They were complimentary and the guy behind the bar noticed how much we loved them and gave us a second serving. THANK YOU. I don't know what kind of sorcery went into the making of those olives, but I've missed them from the moment I left Spain. They haunt me in my dreams...Jk, or not. *sobs* My visit was in 2019 so this is a very belated review. But, better late than never. Hope they're doing ok in the midst of Covid and all. Spain: I love you and miss you. read more

Almost every restaurant/bar/cafe in the entire country of Spain sells tortilla, but it was nice to have some different options of tortilla here! You can get tortilla with chorizo, different cheeses, garnishes, etc. Fun to have options! The best part about this place? The beers on tap. They have a more diverse list than most places in Madrid as well and *bonus* they had fun names. The vibe here is fun and the place is usually crowded. read more

We went between lunch and dinner and that ended up being good because the restaurant is quite small. The staff was very friendly and the food was quite good. We had the ham croquettes, a Parmesan Spanish omelette, and the classic Spanish omelette. It's worth a visit. read more

Best tortilla's in Madrid. Great service and relaxed atmosphere. If you go, as with most tortilla's places go to the bar to order and pick up. Very reasonable prices. Amazing vino! read more

I wanted to go here because I was intrigued by their unique tortilla flavors and I was getting bored of just plain tortillas. I tried 3 different tortillas, as well as 3 of their croqueta flavors, which are also interesting. Of the 3 the I tried, my favorite tortilla was definitely the goat cheese and caramelized onion one. The rich goat cheese added so much flavor to it, and the caramelized onion added a nice sweetness. Regardless of fillings, I still enjoyed all of their tortillas, since they're all ridiculously melty and creamy inside, oozing with delicious tortilla essence. And the croquetas were great, too. The outside is perfectly crispy, while the inside is very creamy and flavorful. My favorites were the squid ink one (since it tastes like squid) and the mushroom truffle one (since it tastes like truffle and mushroom). I was disappointed by the shrimp one because I couldn't taste any shrimp. Overall, I like this place a lot because they excel at what they do: tortillas and croquetas. The quality is definitely better than most, and both go really well with their great beer options. read more

The best tortilla I had during the week I spent in Madrid! I ate many tortillas and this ranked the highest in my list. Great atmosphere, wine, beer and food! The service was also fantastic! read more

We had tortilla at many establishments during a recent trip to Madrid and Sevilla. None of them compared to those at Pez. The textures and flavors of the few we tried (including sun-dried tomato and original) blew all of the other right out of the water. The beer was also great and a nice break from the copious amounts of vino tinto we had been drinking. We also learned that you can take an entire tortilla away for about 18 euros, which is a great price given how much food you get! We'll definitely be back on future trips to Madrid. read more

Pez Tortilla was the best meal of our entire trip to Madrid. If you go nowhere else, go here and try and many of their gourmet tortillas as possible as their menu is filled with all different interesting flavors. Loved the croquettas and wine too! The staff was friendly, accommodating and able to offer great recommendations, including veg-friendly options. This place has a relaxed cafe atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Literally a hole in a wall kind of place. We were having drinks late night across the street and read about this place so decided to go try their tortilla. Was really good. But they served it cold. Wish it was warm food. Being a vegetarian, couldn't try anything else since this was the only dish without meat. read more

Pez Tortilla is a wonderful place to nosh on gourmet tortillas and drink craft beer. I ate the asparagus tortilla and it was wonderfully cooked. More importantly, the beer selection had more depth than many other menus that I saw during my time in Madrid. Everything was very well priced and the service was very attentive. read more

Very authentic Spanish tortilla restaurant. This is not touristic and highly recommended to get to know the local culture.

Really good selection of beers on tap (especially for Spain). Great tortilla and croquettes. Come prepared to stand and knock elbows at the bar and you'll be rewarded with delicious, artisanal takes on staples of Spanish cuisine. read more

Went there with my friend (we are both tourists) and sat at a table enjoying our night. We had 1 drink here and an hour later a man sat at a stool beside us and began talking to us and asking questions, making us uncomfortable. A lady who is part of the staff immediately made eye contact with my friend and asked if we are okay with her thumb. My friend nodded no and she came to our rescue by asking the man to stop interjecting our conversation and night. We headed out a couple minutes after that and while we were leaving, another staff member came and apologized to us for the situation. We stood out for our Uber and the creepy man came out the door to talk to us again. As soon as he said a couple things, a 3rd staff member opened the door and waited with us till we got safely in our Uber. We were so touched by how nice and caring they were and recommend this place to everyone!!! read more

Not very efficient staff; we even couldn't try the food since we had to leave. I hope I could change my opinion in future visits

Best tortilla I've ever had (and I used to live in Madrid). Great prices and bustling ambience. If you go around 9pm or later, though, you'll probably have to stand. Also has a nice beer selection (I had a very affordable and tasty trippel). Still worth it! read more

great place they don't serve any food from 4 - 7:30 Saturdays and Sundays. weekdays open at 6pm. I had the rum and coke with lemon. very big beer selection. staff very nice and speaks good english. they do croquetas. they are excellent and change everyday. drinks are 6 euros. very good price. when the kitchen is closed they give you chips. but make a point to taste their food you won't be disappointed. read more

This is a live place fun atmosphere. Excellent croquettes and tortilla. The classica con ceballa pochada is a tortilla worth the waiting and standing. The inside is a typical standing or high seating tapas/bar. The food and legacy of being there forever makes the place one to go by read more

It's not that often that you find a bar with a great craft beer selection in Madrid. On top of that one that serves delicious versions of Spanish tortilla for 3€ a portion! Last time I had the sun dried tomato, Parmesan and basil tortilla and it was dreamy. read more

Tasty tortillas but we weren't expecting the amount of cheese in them. We were expecting an omelette level of cheese, and these were closer to a Mac-and-cheese level of cheese. Perhaps the tortillas were undercooked. The jamón, brie and truffle was delicious but the other tortillas and the croquetas were too salty. Overall fun atmosphere and good beer. read more

IPAs!!!!! And just beer other than Mahou!! Tortilla portions are huge and only 3 euro. Croquetas looked like less of a good deal, but I haven't tried. Their beer menu changes and isn't always updated online, but when I was there this week there were a few beers from California, 2 from MAD brewing, and a few others. Highly recommend! read more
