The paella is served in 2 person portions since we were 3 we had to order either 1 pan or 2 pans. We ended up getting 2 pans. The food did take alot of time to prepare as they are made fresh to order. We order black squid ink paella and the seafood paella. The black paella was really good and taste was on point. The seafood paella was too salty and we had to drink alot of water after our meal. We did encounter an issue with our order they brought some croquettes and hot peppers to our table. We did not order them and asked them to take it away. Overall the meal was good but if I had a chance to redo it I should have tried the duck paella or the Valencia paella (rabbit and chicken). Thank you for the memorable meal and we were able to dine on the heated patio with some fellow guests on our tour.

Definitely worth a quick stop for visitors to the city. Quality: We went with house special a Fried Cuttlefish Sandwich, and it was incredible. The texture was great, browned to perfection and just a little bit of spring to the fish. Pair it with a couple cold beers and you would struggle to find a better lunch. Quantity: Massive portions. Value: Very cheap. Ambiance: El Tostadero is a locals spot in Valencia. The casual shop has a wrap around bar for seating, with food options on display in front of you. They also have a few tables outside. Inside prepare to watch yourself eat and drink in a mirror with music blasting as the workers constantly push out more sandwiches. Crowd: A few regulars, constant take-out. Service: Fast.

But also being somewhat upscale they were a little more formal than obviously a casual place. Once seated we were told we had 2 hours to finish our meal which is a very long time for just two Americans eating. The only issue I have is that our food arrived amazingly fast I mean like maybe under 5 minutes post ordering. After that the staff kept coming by asking if they could clear my plate because I eat quite a bit faster than my companion, my wife. They asked me two to three maybe even four times if they could clear my plate which really was unwelcome since we had 2 hours to finish our meal. As I stated earlier the food was really really good if you check out my photos the atmosphere was really nice. I am an architect and can really appreciate nice design and configurations. I would gladly go back and run to recommend this place I do know my wife stated the same issue I outline regarding being rushed and they said that they would adjust it. I would gladly revisit the establishment and when we return back to the Valencia I plan on going there once again. I highly recommend it especially the steak that was very well cooked perfect for our desire which was rare.

Serving locals and visitors alike since 1917, they are known for their Clochinas (Valencian Mussels). Definitely a must try!

If you want to beat the crowd, you can head over at 20:00. Recommendations: 1) Toasts: Rebana pan con Tomate 2) Tapas: Patatas Bravas, Calamares, Clochinas 3) Sandwiches: Lomo con Queso

It's a cozy place, that's meant for tapas and drinks. We didn't know what to order for drinks and they recommended the aigua de Valencia, which is like a tastier/better version of a mimosa, it was hella good. For food, we got the padron peppers, tomatoes with tuna belly, and the entrana steak. The padron peppers had some that were really spicy, which we've been looking for, so good. The tomatoes were fresh and simple. The star of the show was the skirt steak though. When I tell you that I had to close my eyes and pinch myself and that's how good this. If I could eat this everyday, I would! Definitely recommend coming here if you are in the area. From the food to the service, it was an amazing experience.

They've also got bocadillos, salad and other combination plates. They're specialized in seafood.

For dessert, they've also got quite a lot of varieties. At the end, they offered a shot too which was a really good ending for me. I had always wanted to go to this place because it's near my house. And finally I went there and will definitely go back again. If anyone happens to pass by, I would recommend this place. It's just right next to Turia Commercial Center. There're not many choices for restaurants in this place anyway, so why not take a walk outside and try this place!
