New Frasquita Fish Restaurant Caleta

[Johnrgby2]

Went to take a look last night, the pictures on here are of the front, from the Back/carpark, it lookslike a World war 2 bunker, but will try it and see.

OK went last night, to say that nothing has been done to make this place aesthetically pleasing inside or out is an understatement, it reminds me of those eat in chippies you could find all over the UK in the 50,s and 60,s { all Formica and plastic } utilitarian in the extreme.

View of rear.




Outlook from the front.





Part of the outside seating area.



It opens from 12:00 until 16:00 and again from 18:00 to 22:30

There are about 40 covers outside and around 30/35 inside, while we were there from 19:15 until 20:25 about 30 people came and went.

They accept credit/debit cards.

There is no menu as with previous incarnation what is available is brought out on a large platter.

Last night there were around 12 varieties of fish available, Dorada, Sardines, Halibut, Octopus, Parrot fish and Sea Bass and a number of others, it is fair to say what was on the platter looked fairly tired, and you take it as read this is not the actual fish you are going to get, you are offered a first course, last night Fish soup or garlic prawns, we both went for No starter and Sea bass, which came with 3/4 boiled potatoes, a slice of tomato and green pepper, and  a mix of onion and white cabbage. there appears to be no dessert menu, but Mrs Rgby saw vending machine inside which dispenses ice lollys and the Spanish version of Cornetto etc.

Summation

Service was OK no more or less what you would expect, polite, but not particularly swift, we sat out side at the front, and as you would expect you get a large number of people walking past, and it was a little windy, so would not sit there again, but that was our choice.

Asked for the bill and waited over 10 mins to then find you go to the counter to pay
along side the pay point there was a very large Paella pan covered with foil and cling film, which you have to assume is where they served that particular offering from, as we saw a couple served and they came on two separate plates, so would not chance ordering that.

Was the food good? no it was better than that, it was excellent.
Would we go again? without a shadow of a doubt.
Would we recommend it? yes obviously.

Price

The meal came with the normal Bread and dips, the bread was good and the dips well made,Two Sea bass a red wine and a bottle of water. â,¬32 we were offered a brandy on the house, but declined, for no other reason than Madam does not drink brandy even good stuff, and I will not drink and drive.

It seems a case of “don`t judge a book by it`s cover” as it is an uninspired sight. Thanks for the pics and review.

Just don't have the Paella. There's only one Authentic Paella, and that's in Pozo Negro.

To be honest Woe it does not look appetising in the pan it is cooked in, and a couple of plates went past to a table behind us that did not look good.

Is that in Los Pescadores woe? Haven't been yet. Do they do Paella with only seafood and no meat?
