Time Out Madrid

"In the area with the most bars specialising in calamari sandwiches per square metre, next to the Plaza Mayor, we find Casa Rúa. Traditional, authentic and finger-licking good."

Jennifer Olvera

"What everyone comes for is the bocadillo de calamares, a hefty helping of toothsome squid tucked into a plush bun. Just remember to ask for a lemon to squirt on top."

Olala Homes

"A bocadillo de calamares is a fresh, crusty roll filled with golden-fried squid rings and topped off with sea salt and lemon juice. While this sandwich might sound strange, the locals swear by it. Casa Rúa is a great choice for seriously good sandwiches."

Miguel Garcia Puente

"An appetising squid sandwich (small and crunchy), with no extra fat, with tender bread and on a typical white earthenware plate. Soon, we are ready to eat it, and we give it a "mmm", because this calamari sandwich is really good."
