"We stopped in here for a lunch whilst driving from Nerja to Andorra. The town is close to the highway and on the beach etc. We picked this restaurant based on TA ratings etc and it was directly on the beach. We decided to share a 2 person Paella, I discussed with the waiter the Mixed Paella I have a shellfish allergy. He assured me that the shellfish would be excluded, wasn’t sure about content in the sauce though. We took a chance. (He later popped back to say there was shellfish in the sauce and they would only use a meat based stock this was well managed). When it arrived it was all very decidedly salty (so much for the meat stock), the fish (unknown white fish squid) was very “fishy smelly” and rubbery, and also contained some mussels !! Seems they use frozen prepacked shell fish parcels for the Paella, and the chef didn’t bother picking them all out... really!!! Needless to say we were both suffering from stomach problems all the way to Andorra (5+ hours). The decor etc isn’t great and needs a serious overhaul. The service wasn’t bad overall, and hence the 2 stars."

"I would give zero stars if I could. Walked up with plenty of open tables and the waiter said that everything was reserved. We said that we wanted a quick lunch and he said everything was reserved for right now. I had a really hard time believing that and feel like I was denied more because we were American. Sorry that all of the reviews were good and tricked us into stopping for lunch here on our way to Teruel."

"Nos lo encontramos de casualidad y decidimos tomar alguna ración para cenar. Fue un acierto. Tomamos ensalada de tomate con ventresca, pan con alioli y tomate y calamares a la romana. Todo estaba muy bueno, en especial la ensalada con mucha ventresca y el pan en su punto con el alioli fuerte. Buena calidad aunque algo elevado de precio. Servicio muy bueno y personal atento y rápido."

"I repeat with some frequency and I don't consider myself an expert, if I consider myself a gourmet and if I'm lucky to let myself go to medium/high-category sites. is one of the best rinconcitos I know, with excellent treatment and top quality products. it is difficult to find another nearby place with the variety of wines and the detail that puts you to combine with your choice of dishes. from ignorance and from the point of view of which you think eating well is eating half a cow in family, given and without just paying for the preparations, it is an expensive place, but from my point of view, it is joto, comparing to what the others offer in their surroundings and in the province. It is worth noting the humility and the commitment to improve that I have found in more than years that I know him. recommended for those looking for good pairings with special dishes. For everything else, in the super there are paellas for two and frozen burgers and, without underestimating, that of my environment does not know what a steak is and has never taken a wine worth more of that, I recommend the site to people who do not surprise themselves with the price, nor consider plaster to the service to explain and recommend the best choice of the moment."

"el mejor helado de Oropesa sin duda. Así que los helados de frutas saben fruta real, son cremosos y deliciosos. Buen jardín de infantes o ferretes de cazadores son super logrados. Si quieres probar la auténtica calidad italiana, tienes que ordenar los helados que han cubierto en la barra trasera, como el chocolate oscuro. No exagero cuando digo que no he probado el mismo helado en el entorno. No lo dudes, si quieres disfrutar de un buen helado, este es tu lugar. Además, el precio es más o menos el estándar."
