El Mascaron - Rubielos de la Cerida

Wow! Wow! Wow! This spot had the perfect salad, steak and truffle chocolates all prepared with our personal choices. And the delightful oil and Cabernet Sauvignon Vinegar condiments were a true '1 ' of a kind!

On a mission to have a nice lunch seaside, we walked along the strip starting from the church side and struggled to even get greeted at most of the nice looking restaurants which was a good thing otherwise we wouldn't have found Mascaron at the other end of the strip. They have a small outdoor seating area with a canopy and plenty of tables inside. We noticed a lot of locals were eating some delicious looking food outside and were determined to get in there. They were pretty busy but we were greeted and only had to wait a few minutes to get seated. Friendly front of house staff, menu looked good, was a bit of wait for the food but was totally worth it. We ordered a soup, a seafood platter and seafood paella for two. AMAZING. Freshest, tastiest seafood. The flavours were clean and seafood cooked well. The paella was handsdown the best paella I've had in all my travels and home. Rice perfectly cooked and not mushy, flavour was banging, not too salty, each piece of seafood tasted as they should. Seriously amazing. Waiter brings you the paella and checks you're happy with how it looks before serving it to you at the table. Delicious. Totally worth the wait. Note, you have to have a minimum of two people ordering paella, can't have paella for one (pretty standard). We also had the house red which was pretty smooth and ridiculously cheap. Yes there is WIFI and yes would def come again.

Food is good but their knowledge of lobster is actually of close family creature , Prawns, a cheap squat lobster,which they sell you for the price of lobster.....lol for those that love lobster, know the difference, stay away. hate being overcharged? don't eat here......
