Recently one afternoon the gods smiled on us and we scored a table here, and finally experienced why this little place is so popular. The setting in a small plaza under an olive tree is pleasant and lively, but the main draw is clearly the large selection of great tapas. We tried the croquettes, and they were delectable, in a portion so large we both decided to skip dinner. The service was friendly but a little distracted (possibly because the staff were rocking out to flamenco music), but we didn't mind (we enjoyed the music too). The prices were a bit on the high side, but then again, the portion we received was quite large. We both plan to sample some of El Olivo's other offerings soon. If you stop by you might notice a couple of people hovering around the place like vultures, hoping to score another table!

We went to Valencia and Seville for our honeymoon (we were staying at the Hotel Arenas) and somehow…read morestumbled upon La Paca during our second night in Valencia. We're from New York City and finding a dimly lit "dive bar" in Spain was incredible. It has an edge to it, but the bartenders were amazing. Our Español was pretty terrible, and they helped us out. We ordered two large beers and were handed a plate of tapas all for 3 euro... which led to several more rounds... and then led to us returning the next night. I would've happily returned night after night if our itinerary did not put us on a train to Seville the next day. Hands down the best olives we had during the entire trip. I love the decor. I love the whole vibe of the bar - and it got pretty lively in the evening. I look forward to returning to Valencia and I hope to find La Paca thriving. If you happen to be in the El Cabanyal neighborhood, please stop by!

The atmosphere looks nicer in the photos; in reality, the lighting is too bright, like a cafeteria, not an evening spot. The service was best of all.

There was a little bit of a wait, but no worries there. They offer some pretty good menu del dia options, though we just ordered a few tapas and some drinks: beer, wine, patatas bravas, albondigas, and croquetas. The bravas were really good and so were the croquetas. They put a unique twist on the albondigas, incorporating some orange citrus notes (when in Valencia, I guess...) but it didn't quite land, especially in comparison to traditional albondigas. Still a really cool place with a fun vibe. Service was friendly too. Would definitely return and try more menu items.

My wife and I met our friends there and it was such a welcoming experience. We really loved the ambiance and that the restaurant was filled with so many locals. That's always a great sign! Recommendations: 1) For Quesos, try the goat cheese with onion chutney and walnuts. It goes great with the bread basket. 2) For Montados, try one with cream cheese and dried tomatoes and capers, and one with serrano ham and brie. So good!

Upon arriving in Valencia and exploring a neighborhood full of dining options, I decided to stop by…read moreTin Tapa because of its close approximate to the hotel. At first, I was a bit hesitant -- the place gave off a slightly touristy vibe, with people out front trying to draw you in. That usually makes me skeptical, as great spots often speak for themselves. The area was not short of options, but we still chose this place on a hunch. That said, Tin Tapa surprised me. We arrived after the typical lunch break ( which is magical) which actually made for a relaxed and pleasant experience. Place was crowded but mostly outside. Inside was still warming up. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The beer was fresh, the hummus was excellent, the beef gyro was hearty and flavorful, and the fries were absolutely on point. Despite my initial reservations about the place, this turned out to be a solid and enjoyable meal. It didn't feel like a tourist trap once we sat down -- just good food, good service, and a laid-back atmosphere. I'd definitely come back again

The place is really small with 5-6 bar stools which my sisters and I already took two. There were customers who went away because of overcapacity.
