Taberna Los HUEVOS DE LUCIO

Always first on any list of where to try huevos rotos in Madrid is Taberna Los Huevos de Lucio in La Latina neighborhood. This local favorite is actually run by the children of famed restaurateur Lucio Blázquez. The original Lucio first arrived in Madrid in 1945 at the age of 12 to work at the Meson del Segoviano. Years later, the owner sold Lucio the business and in 1974 Casa Lucio opened its doors. Now, his children carry on his legacy just a few doors down at Los Huevos de Lucio. The secret to their huevos rotos? Top quality potatoes, olive oil and jamón.

Taberna La CARMENCITA

Housed in Madrid’s second oldest tavern which dates back to 1854, La Carmencita can be found in the lively Chueca neighborhood. It’s said the writer Frederico García Lorca once lived in the apartment just above the tavern, and it’s long been known as the night-time haunt of poet Pablo Neruda, who could be found sipping vermouth at the tavern’s bar. You can try La Carmencita’s huevos rotos with either Iberian ham, chorizo or morcilla (or try all three if your arteries can handle it!)
