El Coso in Valencia

This is a review of the restaurant only.

I went there for lunch on the 31st of Dec, waited for a very long time to even get a menu, finally, being ignored by the staff I got one myself. After finally asking someone to take my order I was not informed about the Menu del Dia option, and in the end we ordered pretty much the same food but paid more than we should have. As I heard the conversation at the next table, the waiter was trying to charge the next table the festive menu price rather than the regular, even though another waiter informed our neighbours that it's the regular menu's price. Overhearing the conversation I asked to change my order to use the menu, but was refused. The seafood paella wasn't good - definitely not freshly prepared, possibly reheated or overcooked. I had to wait and again fight for the waiter's attention to get lemons for the seafood. Finally, the bill came with an extra charge for bread we never had. On the plus side the waiter instantly corrected the bill, but you need to be vigilant and read it carefully. Overall, a very disappointing and overpriced experience with slow, inattentive service. There are many better places in the area with better service and food.

Unbelievable. From the second we got inside the restaurant, the staff was staring us down. They did not want us there. The entire restaurant was empty (understandable), but they still did not want to serve us, looking grumpy and impolite with everything they were doing.

The food: mid
The service: awful
The Temperature: -20 degrees

I have never been at a place this awful. One of the waiters literally looked like he wanted to kill us. We felt very unsave.

DONT GO HERE, EVER.

Probably the last time I’ll ever have paella in my life. The entire experience went downhill from the moment our order was taken. Dishes came out more than 20 minutes apart, from the starters all the way to the paella. We made the mistake of arriving hungry, which only made the long waits worse. The seafood paella was far from fresh, and overall the meal was deeply disappointing. I honestly recommend avoiding this place. Please 🙏

The food was good, but the service and people who served were a little impolite.
More then, what disturbed me more was the fact we ordered day menu with dessert included and at the final they charged us with two desserts. You can’t do that.
And another this was the tap water they charged with.
The food was medium.

my husband and i got a table for 2, the lady who brought us to our table was very nice but as soon as we sat down and she heard that we were tourists they didn’t come to get our order. we waited 15 minutes for someone to pay attention to us. we left and went to the restaurant beside them. it’s a shame because the food looked delicious on the tables beside us. definitely not a tourist friendly restaurant
