# Oxtail croquettes (croquetas de rabo de toro)

> Oxtail croquettes are a La Pilastra special, served when available. How to ask for them, the year-round alternatives and what to check with the team.

https://lapilastra.com/en/menu/oxtail-croquettes

Oxtail croquettes are one of La Pilastra’s specials: they are served when available, so they are not always on. If they are off, the homemade croquette selection on the main menu is the year-round sharing option, and the Ronda-style oxtail stew gives you the same flavour as a main course.

**Oxtail croquettes** — 14.50 EUR. Allergens: please ask our team.

## A special, not a fixed dish

Specials are dishes the kitchen prepares outside the regular menu, and they can change from one day to the next. If you are coming with these croquettes in mind, ask about them when you book or as soon as you sit down.

As with the other specials, ask the team about allergens on the day. If anyone at your table has an allergy, mention it before ordering; [allergens and gluten-free](https://lapilastra.com/en/allergens-gluten-free) explains how to use the information on the menu.

## How they fit into a meal

A croquette made from the stew is an easy way to try oxtail without ordering a whole plate: a couple of bites to open the table before the mains.

If there are several of you, pair them with another sharing plate and follow with a main; [tapas and sharing plates](https://lapilastra.com/en/tapas-and-sharing-plates-ronda) has ideas for putting a table like that together.

## If they are off that day

The homemade croquette selection is always on the menu, with four fillings: stew, porcini, prawn and spinach. If it is the flavour of the stew you are after, the [Ronda-style oxtail](https://lapilastra.com/en/menu/ronda-oxtail-stew) comes as a main course with fries.

The other specials and all the regular dishes are on [the menu](https://lapilastra.com/en/menu).

- **Homemade croquette selection** — 17.90 EUR. Stew, porcini mushroom, prawn and spinach. 8 pieces.
- **Ronda-style oxtail stew** — 26.50 EUR. Slow-braised and served with fries.
