Spanish people are purists when it comes to their tortilla. Potatoes, onions, egg and a runny middle normally do the trick. However, it all changed when we discovered Queen Potato, the best tortilla in Valencia, and we had to unlearn everything we knew about the perfect tortilla.
Queen Potato Valencia. The tortilla for adventurous people
The idea behind this place that popped up round the corner one day was quite simple, tortillas to take away.
However, while they still offer the classic Spanish tortilla, they have definitely added a twist to them and also have in their menu some unusual combinations and with very peculiar names.
As a matter of fact you will find a tortilla with chorizo, a carbonara and even a tortilla called Mariah Carey.
