Normally I don't expect high quality food in touristic places. This one has blown my mind…read morecompletely: the food was absolutely fantastic! Freshly prepared aliolli was served with fresh warm (toasted) bread, followed by a menu of local stew and fish. One drink was included in the menu. Portions are big, food is high-quality (the cook is a local woman) and very delicious. In the 5 days that I have spent in Spain, the food at this restaurant was the best.

We ate lunch and ordered different dishes. I bought ribs which were quite okay but not a taste…read moreexperience. My friends thought the food was okay but not delicious. The service was ok except that the waiter took a long time to ask if everything was alright and if we wanted to order anything more. They do not accept payment by card but there is an ATM nearby, about 50 meters away. There may be short of car parking nearby and the parking lot next to the restaurant costs € 2. There is a nice view from the outdoor seating area. The food was barely affordable. I'm sorry to say but they could have made the restaurant so much better from what it is.

Beautifully located close to Guadalest and with lots of grilled options to have. Very gluten free…read morefriendly with knowledgeable staff that made recommendations on how to avoid gluten. The olleta was not the greatest, according to my family who had it. It was watered down (it has barley so I did not have any). The arroz al horno was good! I would recommend though to stick to grilled meats at this restaurant.

We live close to Elias every time we're in Torrevieja and are there almost every night. Torrevieja…read moreis pretty touristy overall but this is a hidden gem.

Go to Elias. There is no excuse for not coming here when in Torrevieja, absolutely the nicest and best restaurant in Torrevieja.

We have eaten with Jorge, the owner of Elias tapas restaurant for each of the four years in a row…read morewe have vacationed in torrevieja. He and his daughters run the restaurant with a few close coworkers who may as well be family, and their service is as good as the food. Everything, from boquerones (lightly fried large sardines) to patatas bravas to pulpo (octopus) has been perfect every time. And the prices are fantastic at 6 euro for a plate of boquerones and 3 euro for the patatas bravas. But by far our favorite is the made to order paella mixto. Jorge puts love into his cooking, and this, and his fresh seafood and vegetables, keep us coming. Ack year after year. It is always our first meal when we reach torrevieja, our home away from home.

I had lunch with four others. The kitchen accommodated our vegetarianism. The staff were relaxed…read moreand hospitable yet inobtrusive. One person had lamb; he liked it. All the dishes were good. The pisto is served cold, btw. The bathrooms were quite clean. Overall, comfortable and good value. I would come here again.

It's next to impossible to get a table here anymore since the food is fantastic and a great price…read moreand so few tables. The chef and his family run the place and it has a great intimate feel with a creative menu. The food and drink are lovely .. Lots of modern interpretation of valencian flavors and ingredients.

Definitely worth a visit!
