I can't say enough about how lovely this small restaurant in Valencia is. On the night we went,…read morethere was a very small staff with the server working also as bartender. It was a warm night and the tables out front were filled, so we sat inside across from the bar. I have never seen harder working people, and the two of them turned out meal after meal after meal. The food was absolutely delicious - so much so that we went back again later in the week, even though our trip was short. The wine, the fresh olives and cheese, the main dishes, and the desserts all were exemplary. When someone at one of the out-front tables was rude to the server, she handled it graciously and sweetly, so we complemented her when she came back in, we all had a good laugh, and she brought another little something to taste along with our dessert. You can't beat grace under pressure with a sense of humor and generosity to go with a fabulous Spanish meal.

Local bar and tapas spot in the old city with nice outdoor tables on a stretch with several other…read morespots. The tapas is not the standard US fare; interesting and good. Good service; reasonable prices. Worth a visit but go a little early; limited capacity that fills up

Without knowing a thing, we sat down at El Botijo based on the crowd of folks clearly enjoying…read morethemselves. This is a local hangout, and only Spanish is spoken. However, we made ourselves understood and ordered wine and tapas. Unfortunately, the tapas were not made to order and the chicken with cheese was overly rich and the coquettes bland. Yet, El Botijo was a bundle of fun and sometimes eating out isn't always about the food. El Botijo is a good time and that often is missing even when the food is great.

I took a Salmon Bocadillo and my girlfriend the pasta salad, without tuna. WARNING TO VEGETARIANS: the "vegetable sandwich" contains tuna! The staff were very nice about replacing this with the pasta salad once we received that plate, though. Hence the "4-star-rating". Tasty foods. Thanks for the treat, Congo Bar! Fun vibes.
