My husband ordered what was shown on the menu as seared tuna however he received overly cooked, gray tuna that tasted as if it had been reheated after having spoiled. When we complained the waiter simply stated that is how they serve the dish and walked away. The ox tail was hard and did not fall off the bone. The pork was dry and overcooked. And, the prices were exuberant considering the poor quality of the food. All in all, every dish seemed preheated, overcooked, and just plain awful.

My Spanish friends brought me to la Tartana, and it was an unforgettable experience. We ordered…read moretwo arroz, one chicken and one seafood. Unlike what I had in Madrid or New York, they don't mix chicken and seafood in Alicante and Valencia. I told the owner that her food is better than that in Jose Andres' Mercado Little Spain in Hudson Yards, and Angelita was very pleased. But I am sincere. La Tartana prepares arroz for individual groups, while paella in Mercado Little Spain is for the mass. Also I was told that water in Alicante is suitable for arroz. Angelita invited us to see the kitchen, and I was amazed by the operation. It was run by her, her husband, and three sisters. The kitchen is very clean, cleaner than mine where I don't even cook! She explained to us different broths and cookware for various arroz. Her sisters said that it's hotter than 40 degree celsius, or 105 Ferenheit. I could feel it. The family certainly takes pride in their food. I told them that I would return to Alicante just for la Tartana''s delicious arroz, and I certainly will.
