Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"What a cute little gem this is. The Christmas setting with the warmers really set the cosy Christmas atmosphere. I had the Beef burger which was very tasty and a great portion for your money. The menu had something for everyone. The staff were super friendly and attentive to your needs. Overall, great El Mono experience. Thank you. Merry Christmas"
"This place is so cozy. Nice ambiance right at the beach. It's beautiful, especially at night. The food and the service are espectacular. 100% recommend."
"I was invited in. I had a beer and patatas bravas. Beer and patatas bravas come in the next 10min. Well done Patatas bravas come with a sauce that tastes more like a ketchup. I asked the waiter what sauce they used, and he called another waiter to explain. Not a big deal, but I think they should know their basics. I will return! Hasta Luego :)"
"The food was good, the servers were excellent. boss, please give them a raise. they were so nice, especially the girl with ginger hair and pretty smile. We ate vegeterian/vegan options - paella and patatas bravas. we also had a beer and a delicious and (quite high in alcohol content - which i enjoyed) Tequila sunrise. The center of veggie paella was a tiny bit burnt but i think it's due to the pan they used. other than that it was great"
"This is probably the best place to dine in next to the sea. The smoothies are awesome the cocktails as well, great pizza and the seafood plate is also one of our favorites, chill and pleasant atmosphere definitely coming again."
"Very nice restaurant. Juan and his crew knows what we like to eat. Good price and fantastic food, specially the Paella! We will vome back again! Thanks. Best regards, Dennis & Gisèle and the dog DenGi"
"Really nice bar. They have good food and the best mojito in torrevieja."
"We've had lunch today here for the first time and I have to say we've had a good experience. It was a bit chilly outside so we had lunch indoors. Jefferson and Jorge took good care of us so thank you guys if you see this review. When it comes to the food I've had an entrecote, my wife had Caesar salad and for my kiddo we had a grilled chicken skewer. And for starter we went for jam croquetas. The food was great and comes in big portions so keep that in mind as you might not want to have too many starters if you want to finish your main meal. Also, be patient as the food might take a bit to come. We didn't mind but it can take around 20-25 minutes for the food to be served. So overall a good experience"
