The owner, Jorge, is the nicest restaurant owner you'll ever find and he personally makes every order of paella. If you want the experience of a real, true tapas bar with a true Spanish feel. Go to Elias. There is no excuse for not coming here when in Torrevieja, absolutely the nicest and best restaurant in Torrevieja.

He and his daughters run the restaurant with a few close coworkers who may as well be family, and their service is as good as the food. Everything, from boquerones (lightly fried large sardines) to patatas bravas to pulpo (octopus) has been perfect every time. And the prices are fantastic at 6 euro for a plate of boquerones and 3 euro for the patatas bravas. But by far our favorite is the made to order paella mixto. Jorge puts love into his cooking, and this, and his fresh seafood and vegetables, keep us coming. Ack year after year. It is always our first meal when we reach torrevieja, our home away from home.

Finding authentic Mexican fare in Spain is not easy to do, but I have to say that this restaurant is thriving because there is a definite need for more restaurants like this. The menu is huge, with a section just for vegetarian dishes, and the guacamole is superb. Really, really, really good. Unlike American vegetarian, the food is not swamped with cheese, but the real flavors of the food shine through. The wait staff was very attentive, and handles an international crowd well. They are also willing to put together some other dishes (like a veggie-stuffed chimichanga) when asked. Highly recommend if you like vegetarian food like I do! No, it's not necessarily spicy (although that would have been welcome!) but it is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have tried here in Spain.
