The reason is probably because of the paella. Now I know that I'm not an expert in paella. Far from it. But I have cooked it before and I have had it in other places in Spain. So maybe I'm an advanced beginner. And what I got wasn't that good, and it wasn't paella. It was more like rice with some mediocre sauce and seafood in a shallow dish. I love rice, so it wasn't a total loss, but I wouldn't recommend it. On the other hand the cockles were buttery and good, and the place very authentic, the kind of place that gets a lot of locals visiting. But you can do better.

Some days were better than others, as far as cookery and service went at this establishment. But, we didn't mind, because at the end of each meal we received healthy home-cooked local cuisine, featuring the freshest seafood. O.K., the fish was a little pricey, but, the good and cheap vino balanced everything out! O.K., a few dishes were a bit too salty, but, hey nobody is perfect. The unassuming entrance to this restaurant adds to its charm, located off the Calle Pi I Rallo (a good chunk of restaurants are located on that lane). A primitive looking wood-fired oven is in the back left corner of the narrow dining room, where we could see the chef preparing a majority of the grilled/baked dishes; the service dispense bar is to the right. When everything is going well, this is a charming little place, and if it wasn't for the slight inconsistencies mentioned above, I would have given it a perfect review, 5 out of 5. Just be patient if things aren't running so smoothly!

Paella. The positive I can say, the rice was well cooked. The seafood not so. Half the mussels were…read morenot opened, the langoustines were over cooked, the other seafood was, I am guessing, squid? This was cooked tender, but the blackness imparted to the rice was not what I was expecting. If I wanted the black rice paella I would have ordered it. The price of €19 per person made me feel taken advantage of. The wine was good, a nice crisp relief to the heavy, cloying paella. The service? I have had worse, but only once in 30 years of European travel.

After a forty minute wait in mid - September, this dated choice was rather disappointing…read more Amateurish Service + Mediocre Food = Much Less than Stellar. The appetizer of vegetable terrine was sublime. The mains, not so. Unsure about the previous hype, but the whole dorado fish that followed was tasteless. After being boned, sloppily so, and rather bland, even left with scaly skin. The bass was a better choice. During the meal, our server never looked our way, and was inattentive. At the end, I did say that I didn't want it, while it was fully intact albeit sloppily as it was delivered, he did nothing. I saw him speaking with a manager, and still my inquiry was unanswered. Both wait help seemed untrained. Some many great restaurants in this town, and so many good fish dishes, elsewhere. Our ending gift was a tiny display of charred marshmallows and bits of chocolate on popsicle sticks standing to attention. It was the largest display if attention that night. It reminded me of artistic s'mores. We paid and left, never to return.

Inside is nice enough though, and the staff, which speaks good English, are friendly and efficient. The food specialty is grilled whole fish of various species.

We had a late lunch after playing on the beach. We started with a beautiful and delicious slice of seared chèvre on a bed of arugula, endive, and other baby greens and garnished with pumpkin seeds, raisins, and a raspberry vinaigrette. The paella was wonderful as was the grilled dorade. And the dessert - strawberries in chantilly cream - so simple so yummy! The service was very nice - so very warm - they even brought us a chupito - a glass of their local digestive liquor with the check!
