Voltereta de casa | A visit to the store

🍴 Voltereta (Casa Branch): A Valencia Favorite with Standout Hits We finally checked off Voltereta from our list—and friends were right: The Casa branch is the best. Cozy, bustling, and worth the pre-booking hassle, it’s a spot that nails both classics and creative dishes. Here’s how our seven-course feast stacked up: 🌟 The Must-Orders Secreto por las nubes 🥩 Our absolute favorite. Tender, charred pork “secreto” (a juicy cut) paired with silky truffle mashed potatoes. The truffle isn’t overpowering—just enough to make the creamy spuds sing, while the meat’s crispy edges balance the richness. Perfection. Ensalada Voltereta 🥗 A fresh, vibrant salad with avocado, tomato, mango, and red onion. Light, tangy, and full of summer crunch—ideal for cutting through heavier dishes. Croqueta de puchero 🧀 Is there such a thing as a bad croqueta? Not here. These are creamy, warm, and packed with savory puchero (stew) flavor—crunchy outside, gooey inside. A no-brainer. Pan Bao 🥢 Fluffy white bao buns (we ordered five—and finished them all). Soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for sopping up sauces or pairing with meat. Simple, but addictive. 😊 Solid but Unremarkable Tarta de Atún 🐟 Tuna tartare with mango, mayo, and rice. The sweet mango cuts the tuna’s brininess nicely, though the rice was a touch undercooked. Still, worth a try. Tempura de verdura 🍆 Crispy fried veggies (zucchini, bell pepper, etc.). They’re hot, crunchy, and fine—but nothing to write home about. Skip if you’re full. ❌ The Miss Mystery Rice Dish 🍚 A last-minute order that tasted nearly identical to the tuna tartare… but with even more undercooked rice. Save room for better dishes instead. 📍 Why It Works Vibe: Warm, lively, with a “local favorite” energy that makes you feel in the know. Consistency: Even the “just okay” dishes are never bad—Voltereta knows how to keep quality steady. Pro Tip: Book ahead (it fills up fast!) and prioritize the Secreto por las nubes—you won’t regret it. For a meal that mixes comfort and creativity, Voltereta’s Casa branch delivers. It’s easy to see why it’s a Valencia staple. #ValenciaEats #LocalFavorites #FoodieFinds
