We live close to Elias every time we're in Torrevieja and are there almost every night. Torrevieja…read moreis pretty touristy overall but this is a hidden gem. The owner, Jorge, is the nicest restaurant owner you'll ever find and he personally makes every order of paella. If you want the experience of a real, true tapas bar with a true Spanish feel. Go to Elias. There is no excuse for not coming here when in Torrevieja, absolutely the nicest and best restaurant in Torrevieja.

We have eaten with Jorge, the owner of Elias tapas restaurant for each of the four years in a row…read morewe have vacationed in torrevieja. He and his daughters run the restaurant with a few close coworkers who may as well be family, and their service is as good as the food. Everything, from boquerones (lightly fried large sardines) to patatas bravas to pulpo (octopus) has been perfect every time. And the prices are fantastic at 6 euro for a plate of boquerones and 3 euro for the patatas bravas. But by far our favorite is the made to order paella mixto. Jorge puts love into his cooking, and this, and his fresh seafood and vegetables, keep us coming. Ack year after year. It is always our first meal when we reach torrevieja, our home away from home.

Beautiful food! You won't be disappointed. Lovely service…read more Consider these dishes, we were beyond happy with them: Solomillo (sirloin steak) - perfectly cooked Grilled artichoke with Jamon - an especially great type of ham in this dish Shrimp croquettes were so good (ham and chicken as well) Pan con tomate (Bread with tomatoes) Place is located off the busy beach front streets and crowds, and we liked that.

I was looking for a low key place to eat some tapas and have a few drinks so we ask a local taxi…read moredriver that suggested this place. He said it was very popular among locals because it had a chill vibe, service was great and food and drinks were cheap. We arrived around 3pm and easily found two seats at the bar. The inside space is super small, make sure you don't go in rush hours, usually at dinner time is packed. Right away a girl came to take our order and we ask for two 'Tintos de verano' which is a traditional summer cocktail in Spain. The amount was generous and the taste wasreally good. We also order some 'Jamón de Bellota' and 'ensaladilla rusa'. To be honest not the best quality but it was ok. I love foia gras so I asked the chef for a tapa with it. He prepared the most delicious tapa right on the spot. Overall, the staff is super friendly, food is good and price is even better!

From arriving to leaving I cannot give this restaurant high enough praise. We arrived earlier than…read morethe rest of our party so sat at the bar for a drink. The barman asked for our order and mine was a dry vodka martini , why change the habit of a lifetime lol. After a few minutes he came over with an iced martini glass, a bottle of vodka and a bottle of vermouth. Smiling, he said ' 50/50?' My reply '90/10'. A great guy that started a wonderful evening. When the remainder of our party arrived we were shown to our table, outside on the patio overlooking the sea. What could make this idyllic situation better. The food. There was a mixture of orders around the table and everyone was in awe of the standard of cuisine. My mussels were totally delicious. A fantastic restaurant with good food, excellent service with a friendly attitude. We loved the place and, if we are back in the area, will be revisiting.
