🍽️ Vaqueta Gastro Mercat: A Mediterranean Spot with Great Vibes, Mixed Bites If you’re after a nice ambiance with a side of Mediterranean eats, Vaqueta Gastro Mercat (right next to Mercat Central!) is worth a peek—but fair warning: the food is a bit hit-or-miss. Here’s the lowdown: 👍🏻 The Hits Croquetas de Jamón 🐷 Total standouts. Creamy, crispy ham croquettes with that perfect golden crust—melty inside, salty and savory in all the right ways. Buñuelos de bacalao 🐟 Fried cod balls that are light, fluffy, and packed with smoky fish flavor. Not greasy at all—definitely order these. Cheesecake 🧀 OH. MY. GOODNESS. Silky, rich, and perfectly sweet—this one’s a showstopper. We’re talking “lick the plate” levels of delicious 🤤 Easily the best dish here. 😐 The Meh Ham Platter 🐖 Standard stuff. Decent quality, but nothing to write home about—just your average cured ham. Steak Tartare 🥩 A friend ordered this, but raw meat isn’t my thing. They said it was “fine, but nothing special”—take that as you will. 😬 The Misses Potato Cubes Hard and undercooked—tasted like they were rushed. Skip these. Gambas Paella Way too salty. The shrimp were fresh, but the rice was drowned in briny broth—sadly, a let down. Chocolate Cake Dry, dense, and overly bitter. Not worth saving room for. ✨ The Deets Vibe: Cute and lively, with a casual market-style feel—great for a relaxed hang. Price: €25–35 per person (reasonable, but wish more dishes matched the value). Vaqueta’s ambiance is lovely, but the food is a mixed bag. Come for the croquettes, cod balls, and life-changing cheesecake—and maybe skip the rest. 📍 Address: C/ Sant Ferran, 22 (next to Mercat Central) #ValenciaEats #MediterraneanBites #HitOrMiss
