The closure of this neighbourhood gem (since 1979) caused extreme distress, so when Rafael Requeni and two pals resurrected Melo's in 2021, the city heaved a sigh of relief. Their giant, crusty Croqueta is legendary. If you want an elegant croqueta, get a table at La Bien Apreciado but if you want a truly unique Croqueta - Melo's. And if you dare: try their signature "Zapatilla" ham and cheese sandwich (It feeds four).
