Possibly the best tortilla we are in Spain. And we ate a lot of tortilla. La martinuca is modern in design and is lovely inside. It is located in a fashionable part of Chueca. And the food was very good. If you like tortillas and are in Madrid, do pop in for a quick bite.

Wow. One of my favorite places I’ve tried in Madrid. Tortilla: 10/10 Artichoke with egg yolk: 10/10 Cortado: 10/10 All around fantastic!

This place is cozy and the people are kind and fresh... The tortilla is out-of-this-world fantastic!! Don't miss this spot if you visit Madrid!

I highly recommend this place. I arrived here a bit by coincidence asking IA for tortillas. It happens that in addition to serving AMAZING tortillas, they serve specialty coffee made to perfection… I couldn’t be happier since it’s hard to find good restaurants serving local food with great coffee. This is the deal you’ve been searching for, let’s go!

We accidentally happen to visit this place and it turned out amazingly nice. Loved tortillas (sweet onion). The coffee was amazing too. Overall we enjoyed the time with food and atmosphere. We would love to visit again. Thanks, Ishu from Netherland

Spanish omelette, both with onions and without is absolutely great and coffee is also fantastic. I will come back to try the caramelised onions Spanish omelette. Service was also very good: fast and very cordial.

Amazing little cafe with one of the best Spanish Tortillas in the city! We chanced upon this cafe through Google, and was blown away by the flavor and quality of their Spanish Tortillas. Both with and without onion were spectacular, and the coffee was equally as good. Ambience and service were so good we had to come back 2x more times before we left Madrid! Highly recommended!

Loved this little place. Has a great atmosphere and the food was very good. Would definitely recommend!
