Juana La Loca

Top choice in La Latina & Lavapiés


Juana La Loca does a range of creative tapas with tempting options lined up along the bar, and more on the menu that they prepare to order. But we love it above all for its brilliant tortilla de patatas, which is distinguished from others of its kind by the caramelised onions – simply wonderful.
