The buildings…read moreare close together with walkways in between that have wonderful places like Casa Emilio setup outside. The star of this show was our awesome waiter and our awesome Paella. The waiter was like your Spanish uncle that you wished you had. Awesome guy, awesome service. So the Paella was perfectly cooked, nice and tender with the most flavorful crunchy bottom, the Paella trademark. A wonderful saffron flavor permeated through the rice, shrimp and veggies. This was everything you hope for when it comes to Spanish Paella in one of the most picturesque settings.

They have excellent sangria. Our favorite dish is the swordfish. The menu has both Spanish and English but I have had a hard time ordering in either language without pointing. The place is the typical size for a Rota restaurant but we have never had trouble getting a big table for a group if we show up before 21:00.

Taco Tuesday ... HOOAH!…read more We saw the sign for Taco Tuesday with tacos ranging from €1 to €2 and the menu had some things my wife would like, so we asked for a table outside. The gentleman told us that he would be right with us, but we waited 15 minutes to be seated, too long. We were hungry and it was late, so we stuck around. I asked for a Margarita (€7), not knowing the price, even though I had asked for a Drinks menu, not available, something I hardly ever do because that is a sure sign that the drinks are expensive. It came in a small glass, maybe 8 ounces, and was filled with ice, having taken maybe three small sips to finish it off, 3-4 ounces of liquid max and extremely weak ... FUBAR! My wife's first choice, the Philly Cheesesteak (€11) was not available, so she decided on the Pulled Pork Sandwich (€9). I wanted the Al Pastor tacos (€1.50), but they were also out, crap, so I ordered two Carnitas (€1.50 each) and two Steak tacos (€2 each). My better half did not like the taste of the pulled pork, but it tasted fine to me. Her french fries were abundant, but were too salty, even for those of us who like salt on our fries. My tacos were on small 'street taco' tortillas with a reasonable amount of meat, but only some onions and radishes, no cilantro. They were actually pretty good, but not filling, so I polished off what was left of my wife's pulled pork sandwich and a few fries. For €1 to €2 a pop, I was not complaining. The service was good once we got seated and the food was decent, but the lack of available options and the price of my itty-bitty margarita would ensure that we do not return any time soon.

Croquettes were gobbled up by everyone. Large selection of wine, beer, water, etc. several people ordered the sea bass and all were in fish heaven over the perfect presentation and flavor. I had the Iberica pork steak. Acorn fed pigs make this dish a remarkable experience. Medium rare it ate like a high end steak with a very subtle pork flavor. Crispy frites accompanied and were perfect as well. Desserts were decadent and locally prepared. Cheese cake slices are big enough for 3. Lemon tarts were scrumptious. I had a cafe leche and it was a perfect end to a perfect meal. Ample seating in multiple areas. We had an exclusive area to ourselves which lended itself to a great team building experience. This is a place for groups or an intimate evening for two. You really must put this star on your Rota bucket list.

Venue: Come for the food, stay for the ocean view and sunset. This place is in a great spot next to the beach and easy to find. You will need to park your car somewhere in town, we parked a few blocks away near the Embarcadero parking lot. The restaurant is also very clean and if you arrive right at 8pm, you don't really need a reservation. Staff: Great service, especially for our for customers that don't know how to speak Spanish. They are fluent in English and very helpful in ordering local favorites and fresh fish. Food: We loved every item we ordered and it was nice to be able to share the dishes so we can all experience each other's plates. The grilled octopus was tasty and not too smoky or salty. The croquettes weee surprisingly tasty and not fishy at all. Definitely come here if you want to have dinner with a group or want to relax and enjoy a fun meal. We came here during the week and did not need reservations, but it can get busy on weekends, so make reservations if you can.

The group had multiple plates of pork, seafood and sides with everyone seemingly better than the one before. Bottom line: Great food, great venue, great service, exceptional value.

The staff is extremely nice and welcoming, and not to mention they speak both Spanish and English. The food is doubly delicious. Specializing in Cuban style cuisine, they have it all. The fried plantains are great as well as the fried octopus. The Cuban dishes are the perfect portion, not too much but not too little. However, the food is relatively pricy, so know before you go (around €20 for a drink and entree). Speaking of drinks, I had a large mojito and they know how to do it up right. Honestly, this place is great and a sight to behold. From the ambiance to the food to the vista, what's not to like. Enjoy!
