Great little tapas from breads with all stuff in it. But the name is now 100 montaditos.read more

La Surena is inside Centro Commercial El Saler in Valencia. This mall was near our hotel and on a…read morerainy evening, M and I decided to look for nearby food. We ended up in the mall and on the floor where all the food stalls and restaurants were. We came across La Surena and thinking that I knew all the Spanish in the world after just taking Spanish100, I decided to attempt to translate the menu. I read chicken and fish and all, and naively thought that I would be having a fantastic meal for a ridiculous price. Yea right... So our meal came to $11 euros and that included 2 large pints of beer. And this is really what he had ordered... 7 mini sandwiches and a salad for S (which was also the most expensive item on our bill). So apparently on specific days, you can get mini sandwiches for just 1 euro! Yea, and they were filled with all the ingredients I had attempted to translate...So I hadn't exactly gotten the translations wrong, I just didn't know they would be coming inside a sandwich...a mini one to be exact. And although M hates sandwiches, he admitted that these were pretty good! The ingredients and sauce inside really made it delicious. I actually wouldn't mind having these agin to be honest. Just funny how I sort of tricked M into getting sandwiches when I really didn't know. The place was packed and their other popular items are nachos which are also dirt cheap. This would be the perfect place to grab a quick snack and a beer. On different days, they also have other deals such as a bucket of beer for a really cheap price.
