Los Cucalos - Orihuela

Lovely and friendly staff. Best paella in the area. You can sit outside in the yard or inside in the restaurant or pub. Live music some nights.

We have been coming to Villamartin for many years, but were unaware that this place existed until this year. What a find! This is a lovely, large traditional Spanish restaurant that offers exactly what you would expect from a restaurant of this kind. Great paellas, lovely seafood and a great atmosphere! There is a large children's play area with bouncy castles, football pitch and a trampoline. Yes it could do with a little refresh, but considering the hell restaurants in the region have been though with covid-19 restrictions, we have to give these guys a break. My kids loved the play area and I loved that I could see them from the restaurant at all times and they couldn't wander off anywhere without my knowing. The service is very relaxed. Order what you want, when you want with whomever. Not having to wait for your specific server means you can dine and drink at your own speed. Keep in mind this is a Spanish restaurant and you should be in no rush to east drink and leave. Relax, make the meal an event and enjoy! We had two kids meals which were served very promptly. We also had some lovely seafood starters which were very generous in size. We enjoyed the Caesar salad and a lovely paella. I would highly reccomend.

Excellent menu of the day can’t fault it except frozen chips the meal was spoilt by frozen chips I don’t know why they insist with frozen chips they are tasteless and horrible the rest of the meal was excellent that’s why it’s only a 4 out of 5 I will back again

La comida la verdad que toda muy buena,lo que no me ha gustado el elevado precio para el menú tan básico que han puesto,y hemos pasado un poco de calor y los aparatos de aire estaban ahí parados y todo el restaurante lleno y la verdad que había demasiado bochorno

Fuimos a ver una banda tributo a Michael Jackson, elegimos Seefood Paella, estábamos un poco escépticos sobre la comida después de leer algunas de las críticas, no era necesario, ya que la comida y el servicio eran realmente muy buenos, esto estaba un poco fuera de lugar. A nuestro manera, fueron 90 minutos para llegar allí, pero como había un espectáculo, decidimos que valía la pena la distancia... feliz de decir que pasamos una noche increíble y lo recomendaríamos, volveríamos para otro espectáculo nocturno.
