This is really a cop out since it requires no cooking or creativity. Others at the table reported that the fish and meat courses were good. The staff, of which there were quite a few, seemed to be a bit stressed and grumpy and that was a bit distracting from a positive experience.

We really enjoyed picking from the trays filled with little wooden boards, each offering something different. We made it our mission to try as many as possible, and we loved every single one! It's also awesome that everything is priced the same, which makes it super easy. We paired our meal with some refreshing tinto de verano, and it was perfect! The whole atmosphere was so much fun and interactive, especially counting the boards to see how many we devoured and figuring out the bill. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our time there truly unforgettable. We didn't wait much for a table but there was a big line when we were leaving, it is definitely a very popular place and we can see why! Can't wait to go back!

This place serves different as you don't order the tapas from the menu as they constantly bring trays of hot tapas from the kitchen and this is how you select. When I was there you were fortunate if there were any tapas left when the servers got to your table. Tapas were tasty and cheap and the beer was good too. Great place to go for a quick tapas Lunch or dinner! I recommend the calamari , squid and fried cheese. FYI, lots of fried tapas so may not be the best healthy choice.

Kucuruchos is a nice, fast-service, cafe-style restaurant near the central market in Alicante. We…read morestumbled upon here after visiting the market on our way to the beautiful beach. I liked that this cute restaurant was unpretentious and had a nice "menu del dia" lunch offer which was displayed on a chalk board outside. We were greeted warmly by the staff and chef whose creations were displayed in a case and within view. I liked that I could see what was offered/I was ordering. We learned that Kucuruchos was only open about two months at the time we dined there. Everything was clean and nice. My hubby enjoyed that there were hightop tables to sit at. There were a variety of options for the meat and non-meat eater. I settled upon a fish stuffed pepper item for my main course and some medley of beans for my first course. Bread accompanies the meal and it was enjoyable. The owner thoughtfully brought us an amuse bouche of sorts, a typical seafood of the area which was quite interesting (Nick had inquired about it prior). I liked the flavors of the dishes I tried and the portion size was hearty. There are bottled drinks and beer and wine available which are not included in the "menu del dia" which is fine but just varies from the norm we found with "menu del dia" offers elsewhere in Spain. If I could change one thing I would say that the dishes I sampled were a tad salty, but that is coming from me, someone who doesn't use or prefer a lot of salt. We were offered dessert and we were so full we took it to go. The desserts were a nice treat during our time at the beach. I really enjoyed my experience at Kucuruchos and hope that you will too!

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.
