She was ready to go before I got my order. I had the three tacos. They were very small 3" at best. About three bites. Definitely not worth the price and would never recommend this place so be forewarned. Tables and chairs are made from old shipping pallets. Best thing I can say about this place is it was clean and very colorful.

Located quite close to railway station, central market, theater, Luceros Square and other places of interest in Alicante. A short walk of 15 minutes from most places. Creative interior design. Wild colours, brooms, cleaning products' bottles and funny quotes on the walls. The bill was brought on a mousetrap. Drinks and beers were served in jars instead if glasses. The food was fine to my taste but a friend who claims he's an expert in Mexican food said it's nothing special. They have a display at entrance outside with photos of their "Instagram famous" visitors. If you have a lot of followers on Instagram, they will love it :) Visit if you are in Alicante. I probably won't be back anytime soon as I don't visit Alicante often. Polite staff, cards accepted.

Everywhere I go I always look for Mexican food. It has really started to get a good foothold in Europe but I am more often than not disappointed. That was not the case here. I ordered a ceviche starter and then Dorado taquitos. The moment I took a bite out of the handmade tortilla chips and the lime marinated tuna it took me right back to Baja. Best Mexican food I have eaten outside of Mexico or San Diego. A must visit.

Poco Loco ("A Little Crazy") is a Mexican restaurant in Orihuela Costa. Very popular among locals,…read moremostly English speaking. Busy most of the time, it's better to call before the visit and make a reservation. Menu if the day (three courses) - €10, see pics. Ordered for two: nachos, house salad, beef burrito with Mexican rice, chicken enchiladas with fries. Bottle of house red wine - €9.95 (Monastell variety, DO Jumilia). All dishes were quite spicy, I love that but beware if you don't. Awesome desserts (profiteroles and cherry pie). Colourful interior and exterior design (painted furniture and walls, and especially the statue on the balcony) make this place fun to take pictures. Very friendly stuff. Probably the only restaurant in Spain where they say "sorry for delay" when the bill is brought a couple of minutes later than you expected or when they don't notice you immediately after you have arrived :) Located on the N-332 road, Poco Loco is easy to find. A lot of parking space was available near the restaurant (October) and you'll probably park nearby without problems even in summer. Will be back!

What a fantastic place! Seriously good tapas in an informal and friendly setting near the beach…read more Not at all the touristy garbage you find along the Explanada. I started with a rice cake they call a soccorat (like the paella crust) topped with a tartare of the sweetest and freshest prawn. Superb! Next was a peeled whole tomato stuffed with a mousse of cured ventresca (tuna belly) and served atop a tomato soup like a creamy gazpacho. Another winning dish that takes familiar ingredients and through technique makes them special and elevated. The next tapa was a skewer with a single langoustine tail crusted with the Turkish strands you often find in middle eastern desserts. The langoustine tail was stuffed with a little portion of melted Brie cheese. So good. The last tapa was octopus pieces atop wonderfully browned potatoes that managed to be both crisp on the outside and meltingly tender inside. Superb. For dessert I took the server's recommendation and had the apple dessert, which was a sort of deconstructed apple tart that was the essence of apple. They comped me a generous shot or two of a beautiful local dessert wine. Service was gracious and helpful. The prices are treasonable for food of this quality. I really enjoyed my meal here!
