"Stop in the taberna (really, the bar) for a small plate of bacalao croquetas."
"Delicious!"
"A city-wide poll for Madrid's best croquetas (croquettes; fried rolls with filling) would see half voting for Casa Julio and the remainder not doing so because they haven't been yet."
"The croquetas are the only motive for a visit."
"Javier Martin is a small well known restaurant in Madrid offering amazing crispy and crunchy croquetas saladas y dulces which are truly delicious and mouth watering."
"Some superb appetisers - creamy croquettes."
"For 30 years Sevilla (also the alternative) has surrendered to ham croquettes from Casa Ricardo Bar-Antigua Casa Ovidio, crunchy on the outside and almost liquid on the inside."
"Going to Pez Tortilla and leaving without eating their croquettes is, I don't know, like going to Seville and not seeing the Giralda. Think boletus and truffle. The croquettes of Pez Tortilla are a scandalous."
"If your thing is fish croquettes, make sure you drop by this Basque restaurant run by brothers Jesús and Manuel Medina. Specialists in the art of the spoon and seafood, their Croquetas de bacalao, with sheep's milk and a very delicate béchamel sauce, are a must in the capital."
