We were having a hard time with the wifi all over Spain so we were just trusting our gut (haha) to…read morefind restaurants. We walked by and saw this little restaurant up the hill, a bit tucked away and decided to check it out one night. Holy moly people!!! Easily one of our best meals in Spain! Our server was so nice and the owner was amazing and attentive. We ate early (old American habits die hard) and we were some of the only people in this little cave restaurant. You can just tell that the chef takes immense pride in their food. It showed, both in presentation and taste. We ordered a cheese plate, a jamon plate, the eggplant croquettes (with salmorejo and jamon), and the stuffed mushrooms. I go on TripAdvisor when I got home and see it's rated #3 in Arcos restaurants! Yay! Don't be like us- read restaurant reviews before you get there ;-) This is truly a gem that you don't want to miss. This restaurant is what prompted me to review both on Yelp AND Tripadvisor. It was THAT good. Oh gosh! I just remembered that we ordered paté as well. I guess I forgot to take a pic. It was HUGE for the price and absolutely delicious. I thought we were overly stuffed when leaving and didn't think we got that way from those 3 things- haha. Forgot the paté!! If you're in Arcos you really should check this place out.

What's different about Alcarvan is that it's a former dungeon of a castle - I don't think they do…read morequite enough to capitalize on the distinctiveness of that (instead, it can feel a bit like a sports bar as there are a bunch of folks watching soccer on television). The food is the standard Spanish tapas menu - heavy on fish, ham, and the mixed salad (which, of course, comes with tuna). To put it another way, Alcaravan is not a place to take your vegetarian friends. What we had here wasn't quite as exciting or inventive as other tapas places (probably the best of what we sampled was the salad) and some of what we sampled was simply unpleasant. The "meatballs" of squid had the consistency of wet bread, and the tuna was among the fishiest I have encountered in terms of both taste and smell. The folks at Alcaravan seem perfectly nice, but slightly confused. At first, they sat us as a table that was entirely too small for four people. Then, they tried to squish all of our food (three dishes) onto the too-small table, and then they moved another table between us so that two of us were sitting a good ten feet apart from the other two.
