However, generally I wouldn't go back for normal menus because it's pretty expensive for the kind and the quality of food they have. Even so the atmosphere is nice. It's quite like a hipster place in my opinion. It's an ideal place for merianda and beers. The service was a bit slow but okay. I would recommend this place for the promotion time!

Welcoming staff - husband and wife. All smiles and warmth, they were happy to make food and drink recommendations to a Valencia novice that got my evening off to a great start. I had a half-size cheese and meat platter that was freshly prepared and served quickly. A local IPA recommended was a perfect accompaniment. I had to follow up with the smoked sardine tostas- simple yet divine! The sardines were plump and juicy, subtly smoky. Unfortunately these smoky little fish are bought from a fishmonger - nothing I can take back home with me. Afterwards they were happy to suggest some off the tourist track sights to see.

There was a little bit of a wait, but no worries there. They offer some pretty good menu del dia options, though we just ordered a few tapas and some drinks: beer, wine, patatas bravas, albondigas, and croquetas. The bravas were really good and so were the croquetas. They put a unique twist on the albondigas, incorporating some orange citrus notes (when in Valencia, I guess...) but it didn't quite land, especially in comparison to traditional albondigas. Still a really cool place with a fun vibe. Service was friendly too. Would definitely return and try more menu items.

I was recommended the sardines to start -- lightly fried fillets served over a bed of crunchy patatas, peppers, and delicate petals. Beautifully plated and absolutely delicious, it was the perfect portion since I was also planning to order paella. Masusa offers both personal-sized and larger paellas, which was ideal as a solo traveler. Co-owner Ana recommended the black rice paella with fish, calamari, and monkfish cooked in squid ink. It was flavorful and even better with their special garlic sauce. The couple seated next to me ordered the Paella Russafa -- a spicy red seafood paella -- and kindly shared a taste. Delicioso! I'm so happy I had the opportunity to dine at Masusa. Many thanks to the owners, Ana y su hermana, for creating such a warm and homey restaurant experience.

Luckily our hotel was close to some…read morerestaurants and we came across this paella restaurant that our tour guide suggested as previous guests enjoyed the food. The paella is served in 2 person portions since we were 3 we had to order either 1 pan or 2 pans. We ended up getting 2 pans. The food did take alot of time to prepare as they are made fresh to order. We order black squid ink paella and the seafood paella. The black paella was really good and taste was on point. The seafood paella was too salty and we had to drink alot of water after our meal. We did encounter an issue with our order they brought some croquettes and hot peppers to our table. We did not order them and asked them to take it away. Overall the meal was good but if I had a chance to redo it I should have tried the duck paella or the Valencia paella (rabbit and chicken). Thank you for the memorable meal and we were able to dine on the heated patio with some fellow guests on our tour.

Our waitress not only made us feel welcome, but she made worked tirelessly to both answer our questions and to translate the menu for us. When our food came, everything was simply wonderful and delicious! My friend ordered a pasta dish, and I went with a pizza; we ended up sharing both, enjoying them immensely, and leaving the restaurant completely full due to the very generous portion sizes. Tip: It's a very nice touch that you can see the pizzas being made from the outside through the front window :-) The restaurant is situated in a great spot, with lots interesting bars that are very close by. Highly recommended!

Fishmonger setting, great for couples or small groups. This place seemed better as a transit stop rather than a place to spend the evening.
