Maybe one of my favorite restaurants ever! This place is delicious if you manage to squeeze your way in. If you can make reservations I highly recommend doing so. They have a bar area you can stand and eat at, but it's packed. We got there right as they opened and there was already no room.
They specialize in Pintxos, which are basically tapas on a slice of bread. Don't worry because they have a Spanish and English menu.
TORTILLA - The best tortilla I've ever had in Spain. Crusted well, great flavors, potatoes and eggs are out of this world.
SECRETO - Iberic Ioin of pork cooked to perfection, topped with a bit of tomato and placed on top of peppers. Great cooked pork with some great flavors.
COD - You wouldn't even know that it was cod it was so perfectly cheesy. It's served with some peppers which gave it some great flavors that cod usually lacks.
Almost 5 years later, and Juana la Loca is still my favorite spot in Madrid. Everyone that visits me is taken for at least a slice of tortilla and a glass of Txacolina, and when we can, a sit-down dinner.
Favorites: forever and always the delicious, caramelized-oniony tortilla; the mozzarella/sundried tomato/anchovy pintxo; and the cod gratin pintxo (among many, many others).
The service is still incredible and fun. My recommendation is to either make a reservation or to arrive right at opening time. Don't rule out standing and eating at the bar!
Fantastic fantastic - literally my favourite restaurant in Madrid. It gets packed so be sure to make a reservation. The tuna special was phenomenal and their Spanish omelette is spectacular and will show you how good they can be.
