Andalusia Cafeteria — Restaurant in Cádiz

Paella was very nice, low on seafood content but the flavour and texture was very good. Pizza was also fantastic, not like other reviews say, the pizza we received was clearly freshly made as it was thin and floured and my friend rated it very highly. Service was not the friendliest (but this is to be expected in Europe, especially in a cafe style setting), but it was efficient. I had to wait for my paella, which, considering there weren’t many in the restaurant, reassured me that it was being freshly made, which I have no doubts about. The low reviews on here certainly do not reflect my visit. Usually one to attend an establishment based on its reviews, I would likely have avoided had I researched first, but stopping here after wandering the streets searching for somewhere to eat (not many places doing food late in the evening for some reason), I was really happy with what I received. Pricing was on the high side, this meant I didn’t order any of the smaller seafood dishes, but with that said was transparent and not out to trick...

We stopped by Andalusia Cafeteria and really wish we hadn’t. The pizzas were clearly frozen and lacked any flavour or freshness you’d expect from a proper restaurant. On top of that, we were charged for bread that we never ordered, just appeared on the bill without explanation.

To make things worse, they don’t accept card payments, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere. We had to leave the table and find a cash machine, which ended up charging us €7 just to withdraw money. That’s not only inconvenient but completely avoidable with a bit of transparency.

Overall, overpriced, poor quality food, and shady billing practices. Definitely won’t...

Yes, this is overpriced food considering we had just come Lisbon and spent less money for more food. But I wanted to have boquerones en vinaigre which is what I ordered and my partner ordered the fried calamari. It was excellent. We had two beers. We paid €33 (they don't take credit cards). Our meal in Lisbon was €10 less and we had the best roasted chicken with fries.

If you come here for paella, you didn't do your research as a traveler. If you want really good paella and not tourist paella, travel to Valencia. That is the...
