I have been to their Madrid's Gran Via location several times and I loved it, so when I found one…read morehere in Alicante I was overjoyed. The churros are excellent as in Madrid, the coffee was surprisingly not that good, which was very disappointing considering that any random coffee shop in Spain usually served excellent coffee! Service was the worst, the waiter sent half the powdered sugar on my lap while whipping the table and didn't care to apologize, this too was such a disappointment considering that service was always excellent at the Madrid location. Bottom line it may be worth the visit for the churros and the great patio on Alicante's promenade, but expect rude service and average coffee.

Kucuruchos is a nice, fast-service, cafe-style restaurant near the central market in Alicante. We…read morestumbled upon here after visiting the market on our way to the beautiful beach. I liked that this cute restaurant was unpretentious and had a nice "menu del dia" lunch offer which was displayed on a chalk board outside. We were greeted warmly by the staff and chef whose creations were displayed in a case and within view. I liked that I could see what was offered/I was ordering. We learned that Kucuruchos was only open about two months at the time we dined there. Everything was clean and nice. My hubby enjoyed that there were hightop tables to sit at. There were a variety of options for the meat and non-meat eater. I settled upon a fish stuffed pepper item for my main course and some medley of beans for my first course. Bread accompanies the meal and it was enjoyable. The owner thoughtfully brought us an amuse bouche of sorts, a typical seafood of the area which was quite interesting (Nick had inquired about it prior). I liked the flavors of the dishes I tried and the portion size was hearty. There are bottled drinks and beer and wine available which are not included in the "menu del dia" which is fine but just varies from the norm we found with "menu del dia" offers elsewhere in Spain. If I could change one thing I would say that the dishes I sampled were a tad salty, but that is coming from me, someone who doesn't use or prefer a lot of salt. We were offered dessert and we were so full we took it to go. The desserts were a nice treat during our time at the beach. I really enjoyed my experience at Kucuruchos and hope that you will too!
