Good paella. If you want any of meat paellas, you need to order it when making a reservation. (…read moreeveryone comes here for paella). Was not very impressed with small fried fish - not crispy and very blunt taste - no salt or any spices. Decent house salad. Must make reservations. Designated parking.

However, when we got our appetizing seafood Paella but reported that one of two tiny lobsters was mealy because it was likely dead before cooking and liable to make us sick, the manager or owner dismissed it entirely. Further, the sliding glass door to the canal side was a bit irritating as it squeaked and rumbled each time it opened and closed. Overall, we had greater expectations that did not live up to the reviews.

We rode our bikes from Valencia to El Palmar and I was starving by the time we arrived at Mateu. We were determined to have paella and since my friend does not eat chicken we opted for the Seafood Paella. The paella takes 30 minutes to prepare as each pan is made to order. We waited without ordering an appetizer which I do not recommend if you are hungry. The paella was delivered hot in a large pan. The paella was good and filled with lots of seafood. We enjoyed it and ate the entire pan just us two. We were not disappointed with our experience at Mateu.

Secret to a good parking space? Even when the ocean is appearing closer, "keep driving, keep driving", there is parking the back. Our paella taliban companion thought our appetites needed whetting, so we tucked into tellines, calamares, and mojama with red pepper and aubergines with hard boiled egg quarters. During this time, I was educated about paella borders, etiquette, wars, and the crispy rice. A great education. Then the paella arrived filled with rice, green beans, large broad beans, rabbit, and chicken pieces. It was great, tasty, challenging (never had rabbit kidney before or rabbit leg). I really enjoyed this experience and everyone should visit. And before or after dinner, play on the beach.
