La Maruca

If you were lucky enough to live in Madrid, La Maruca is a place you would visit on a regular basis. The draw is home-style cooking and Cantabrian flavors, served at prices that are accessible to all budgets. The menu lists a series of salads, fried fish, egg preparations, soups, pastas, fish and meat dishes, and everything costs less than 20 euros. Given the quality of ingredients, one wonders how they can afford to offer such low prices. Specialties include the egg and potato tortilla and the fried squid. Open from breakfast to dinner.
