Reviews Summary

Restaurante El Rincón Valenciano offers a diverse menu, particularly excelling in its rice dishes and desserts, with a pleasant atmosphere and generally friendly service. However, some diners have experienced issues with food consistency, such as overly salty tuna or oily appetizers, and occasional slow service or uncomfortable dining temperatures. Despite some mixed reviews, many patrons find the value for money to be good and appreciate the authentic Valencian flavors.

"(Translated by Google) The truth is that everything was very delicious, the baked rice was very good and a blood sausage was very good (it was missing the chickpeas) and it was just right.
And my daughters haven't let me have the fideuá so I deduce that it was good.
Super successful stop.

(Original)
La verdad que todo muy rico, el arroz al horno muy bueno y una morcilla muy buena (le faltaban los garbanzos) de sabor y estaba en su punto.
Y la fideuá mis hijas no me han dejado así que deduzco que estaba buena.
Parada súper acertada."

"Wow. Que servico y comida tan mal. We stopped at the Centro Commercial Mirado and instead of eating mall food, we decided to make the 10mins walk to this restaurant based on the Google reviews. We've had really good luck the week and half we've been in the area filled with delicious food. However, when we got there the eating area in the back was hot and stuffy. The weather is very hot at the moment, 36°, and while they had an air unit, it was not on. This really should have been the first sign. The waitress, a thin blond woman, seemed bothered when we asked her questions about the menu (2nd sign), and when we settled on an arroz with shrimp and mussels, she came out to tell us they were out of mussels. No recommendation for another dish or an offer of more shrimp or a fish to replace the mussels. (3rd sign). However, we were so hungry we opted for a selection of the meal from the day. My husband asked for the tuna, which was extremely salty and had no other flavor than soy sauce, and I order the churrasco with chimichurri. I recieved a beef thin cut short rib that was extremely fried and swimming in olive oil. We left without the dessert portion of the meal of the day EXTREMELY disappointed. The waitress seemed surprised and for the first time realized we were bot happy with the meal. After we left, we realized we probably had better odds at the mall. Don't waste your time here."
