Los Rotos — Restaurant in Madrid

Los Rotos means the Broken Ones, sounds like a therapy group, but it’s actually where Madrid feeds the soul with carbs and cholesterol. Their famous huevos rotos usually comes with jamón, but we went rogue and ordered the version with cod fish.. because nothing says “vacation decisions” like swapping pork for something that swims.

Turns out, it still worked. The eggs were perfectly broken, the potatoes beautifully confused, and the cod just salty enough to remind you of your past choices. Served in their trademark little metal pan, the whole thing looked like breakfast that gave up on structure, and won.

Famous for their pan dishes, Los Rotos doesn’t bother with fancy plating. Everything’s dumped in the same trusty pan, like your abuela decided to serve straight from the stove just to save time and your dignity.

The place is casual, noisy, and unapologetically alive.. kind of like Madrid itself after its third glass of vermut.

Statistically speaking, Madrid has more bars than churches, and if you end up in the wrong one, you’ll pray. But in Los Rotos, you’ll only sin.. with extra potatoes and a perfectly...

We stumbled upon this gem while on our mission to find a local spot, and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth the hunt.

The vibe of the place added an extra layer to the experience.Can't...

Worth a visit! We went here on a Saturday evening and had to wait in line for a little bit. I think they were managing the work load because it was very busy and there were only 2 waiters for the whole restaurant but it resulted in quite a long waiting time infront of the restaurant. It might have been better to seat us fist (because there were empty tables) and have us wait with a drink than have us stand in line but ok: that’s the only critique I have. Once we sat the service was super fast and friendly. We ordered 2 beers, a huge plate of pimentos di padron, croquettas with cod and two of the signature “muffins”. And let me tell you: it was all delicious. I had the ratatouille muffins and my boyfriend the one with Jambon. Portion sizes were crazy for the price and the restaurant has a cute...
