That is obviously such a stark difference from my daily habits tied to decisions based on what I discover while researching online, but it was a welcomed change that allowed us to stumble upon La Reina. They have outdoor, patio seating in a prime location for ample people watching and a menu with a nice array of items to accommodate a range of tastes. Our first visit, we went an impromptu dinner and I ordered pulpo (per usual) and we were blown away by the presentation of dish. The vibe of the restaurant felt more like a family-casual style of restaurant, but the plating was that of a high end dining establishment. (And delicious as well!) The salad that my friend ordered was huge, and everything looked so fresh. We noted to ourselves that this might just be a place we would have to revisit once more before the trip was over and that we did. During our second visit, we came for the lunch menu which had great lunch specials. I grabbed a burger this time around and that too was great - lightly toasted bun, fresh veggies and what I believe was a bit of crisp pancetta. The burger also comes with shoe string fries and although they came out cold, they were still pretty damn good! My sister who is a vegan and struggled a bit with vegan options on this trip even found a pasta and veggie dish that she could rock with. It was simple, and maybe less than exciting but it filled her up! When I went inside to go to the bathroom, I also discovered a top floor with a large dining room. I can only imagine how quickly this fills in season, but off season this could be a great option for a private event space. Overall, I think most people would find something to enjoy here and will miss the ability to drop by with ease!

We were fortunate to have 3 seat at the window so that we could enjoy our light meal. No hot food other than paella which was a 45 minute wait. Everything was lovely and the people were kind given the circumstances. The cheese and meat tray was filled even for 3 of us. Some bread sticks, slices of bread, olives, quince paste, manchego cheese, jamon and thinly sliced sausages (?). The salad was fresh other than canned corn. A simple dressing of local olive oil and white wine vinegar. Please support this local business

Just another table full and then all of a sudden they were sold out 20 minutes later around 2. Calm before the storm. We started with a Beer and I wanted one of the Spanish/Local Beers. Our Server offered us Heineken or Amstel. What? Where is the Spanish Beer?! I'm not in Amsterdam. (Ha Ha). They don't serve any unfortunately. That said, they have a Peruvian Lager-ok something new to try. Cusquena -crisp Lager, we enjoyed it. Decided to get some appetizers-Artichoke Flower stood out and was delicious. Romescu Sauce, Truffle and Jamon pieces-a must try. Bravas Lima were also tasty. Service started strong and suffered slightly as they got busier. Took a look inside and had a casual atmosphere with a Bar in back. Would definitely return to try more of their creations.

It's a cozy place, that's meant for tapas and drinks. We didn't know what to order for drinks and they recommended the aigua de Valencia, which is like a tastier/better version of a mimosa, it was hella good. For food, we got the padron peppers, tomatoes with tuna belly, and the entrana steak. The padron peppers had some that were really spicy, which we've been looking for, so good. The tomatoes were fresh and simple. The star of the show was the skirt steak though. When I tell you that I had to close my eyes and pinch myself and that's how good this. If I could eat this everyday, I would! Definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area. From the food to the service, it was an amazing experience.

My family had the salmon couscous which was very good. One thing that was rather odd was they gave spray on Olive oil with the bread (almost like a cooking spray). One noticeable thing was the man seating tables was a VERY hard worker. He ran down the street trying to get customers and he was the reason we chose to eat there.

Loved that they had a great tapas menu and drink menu. We went with the cava which was served in these fantastic glasses with flowers . Such a pretty picture! Great cava too! We also got the Jamon sampler platter. With bread and crackers and crushed tomatoes. This was so good and fresh and that Iberian ham is my favorite thing I've eaten in Spain for sure. When you layer the ham, tomatoes and bread honestly there is nothing better . I can make meals out of this. Delicious! We also had to get the Dulce quatrro leche cake... I suggest you do too. Amazing moist and definitely milky. Not your average tres leche ! This 4 milk cake was outstanding. . Full of rich milk and the cake literally crumbled and a light caramel flavor . Loved that. You typically don't tip in Spain but we did here as the service was so good. So happy we found this in Valencia! Such a great little cafe.
