About
If you're on the hunt for a culinary gem in the heart of Puente de Vallecas, look no further than La Coqreta de Vallekas. Nestled on C. de Josefa Díaz, this delightful eatery specializes in two beloved Spanish classics: tortillas and croquetas. With a focus on homemade quality and innovative flavors, La Coqreta sets itself apart in Madrid’s vibrant food scene.
As I stepped into the bustling food court atmosphere, I was greeted by the enticing aroma of fresh ingredients. The menu is a celebration of creativity, especially in their renowned tortilla de parmesano, tomate caramelizado y albahaca, which has garnered enthusiastic praise from patrons. One customer, Cristina Pinap, highly recommends this unique tortilla, declaring it a must-try. With rich flavors and a complex profile, it’s a dish that truly showcases the kitchen's expertise.
While the croquetas, or "cocretas" as they affectionately call them, appear to be a crowd favorite, customer feedback suggests some room for improvement. Manuel Castaño Crespo shares that while the flavors and textures are excellent, he experienced them served at a less-than-ideal temperature. Nonetheless, the craftsmanship involved in their preparation—crispy, golden, and minimally oily—remains commendable.
Another highlight noted by patrons is the exceptional customer service. Henar Cruz Merino describes the staff as both friendly and professional, contributing to an overall enjoyable dining experience. With new dishes constantly added to the menu, regulars are excited to return and explore what’s next from the creative kitchen.
For those craving a taste of home-style cooking prepared with flair, La Coqreta de Vallekas is a worthwhile stop.
