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.

Spanish tapas and sandwich bar with indoor and outdoor screens for watching sporting events. It has…read morea small terrace overlooking the river, which you cannot really see, as a line of trees obscures it. It is situated right next to the Odeon cinema. You can see the tapas displayed on the counter by the bar as is usual with Spanish tapas bars. All very tasty, especially the Russian Salad, a potato salad with tuna spread on to fresh crusty bread. The mussels are pickled and comes on a bed of potato crisps. It is an acquired taste! Some of the tapas we wanted to try were not available, so cannot comment on them. The seating area on the terrace provides quite a buzzy atmosphere on a warm evening. Get a bowl of nuts, chip peas and beans too, which goes down well with a glass of lager, while chatting or watching the football.
