The paellas seemed reheated as opposed to made from scratch. Bacalao was tasteless. Also kind of dirty inside

Great value seafood paella, we had a special seafood paella for 2 and it was packed with different seafood and full of flavour. Still think the prawns and langoustines were frozen as that’s expected for the prices (€20 pp) but the flavour and quantity made up for it.

We arrived at 12 noon and had to wait a bit as they were still setting up. Service was good and attentive. They serve bread and pork appetizer as you wait. We enjoyed the Paella Marisco and the almejas a la marinera. Good value for morney and perfect lunch for a visit to the beach.

Food was fine but the waiter was rushing us. We ordered the menu and the waiter was coming to the table all the time to collect plates and putting a lot of pressure to serve the next course. At the end the experience was ruined by their speed and even good food wouldn’t compensate. Ps: I asked the waiter directly if we could slow down, he ignored.

The sea food parillada was pricy but very good. Everything tasted very fresh and was prepared simple but very well. It was just the parillada nothing accompanying it which would have been nice. A boiled potato perhaps. Service was friendly. We had a bad table at first but it was changed after a short while. Atmosphere it has lots, very spanish really a sound restaurant in an otherwise touristic area!

Paco Alcalde is a fantastic restaurant in Barceloneta. I’ve been there with my family during a cruise to Barcelona. We took the fixed menu and we were surprised by the food quantity and quality. Lot of starters (pan y tomate and various seafood dishes), fantastic paella and a gorgeous crema catalana. Really a fantastic experience.
