The Path
At Latasia Casa de Comidas in Madrid, Sergio Hernández works in a register built on contrast and control. The kitchen’s identity comes through in the dishes rather than in declaration: seafood kept clean, pork pushed for savor, Peruvian notes brought in with heat and perfume, dim sum forms handled with precision, and Spanish stew tradition given weight and warmth. The result is a menu that reads as exacting without losing generosity.
The Work Today
Ceviche limeño de ají amarillo has stayed on the menu since the beginning, which makes it a useful marker for the kitchen’s baseline. It is direct, vivid, and central to the restaurant’s language. Siu mai de rabo de toro y mole poblano takes a different route, using the form of dim sum to carry the memory of a traditional stew. In both cases, Hernández uses structure as a tool: one dish anchors the room, the other shows how far the kitchen can stretch while keeping its footing.
Signature
Zamburiñas atómicas is one of Sergio Hernández’s signature dishes. The name is compact and forceful, and the dish matches that register: immediate, sharp in impact, and easy to recognize. It fits the wider discipline of his cooking, where clarity is not reduced to plainness and where the plate is meant to land with intent.
Acclaim
Zamburiñas atómicas and panceta glaseada en salsa agripicante were singled out as favorites by the writer. Taken together, they show the range that defines the kitchen at Latasia Casa de Comidas: the lift and brightness of shellfish against the dense gloss of glazed pork, sweet heat against salt and fat. That tension is central to Hernández’s cooking, and it is what gives the menu its shape.
