About Restaurante Exotica

Rare in the casco antiguo, Exotica pulls off Spanish, Italian and something wilder on the same menu without any of it feeling like a compromise. The paella draws the most attention by some distance, and the cocktails — the piña colada especially — keep people at the table long after the plates are cleared; the sangria runs a close third. For something further off the map, the crocodile tacos have their own following. Seafood runs through the kitchen too, with grilled squid among the dishes reviewers pick out. The room is as good as the food: what arrives at the table is described as beautifully presented, portions are generous, and the price sits honestly at the €20–30 mark for what you get. Breakfast draws regulars as reliably as dinner does.

Restaurante Exotica is one of those places where the dessert menu is not an afterthought — a detail regulars tend to mention first.

In the last 90 days, Restaurante Exotica has drawn 33 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.

What Stands Out

Paella and seafood

Paella mentioned in 61 Google reviews; grilled squid, sea bass, and crocodile tacos appear across recent reviews as signature dishes.

Cocktails and wine

Cocktails mentioned 45 times in Google reviews, pina colada 16 times, sangria 11 times; GBP highlights note 'Buenos cócteles' and 'Muy buena selección de vinos'.

Generous portions and honest pricing

Multiple recent reviews praise portion sizes and value; the €20–30 price point is noted as rare for the zone given ingredient quality.
