Restaurante xaloc — Restaurant in Calvià

We ended up coming here TWICE for dinner bc the food was spectacular, the ambiance serene, and the service TOP notch.

First night: Restaurant was packed and we were suggested to wait at the bar since at that point they were only taking further guests that would queue. We were told about a half hour wait with two 3-person groups ahead of us, but a small 2-person table opened up inside next to the grill and they started us after had just ordered drinks. For dinner we ordered 1L sangria, pimientos, and the lamb chops and T-Bone. They were out of the handed potatoes and they gave us both fries instead. The lamb chops were a bit over cooked, but well seasoned. The t bone was under seasons but perfectly cooked.

Second night: We wanted to come for lunch, but arrived at 15:38, 8 minutes after the restaurant closed. We decided to save our appetite and come back for an early dinner because we were set on trying the Paella here! We tried the white Sangria. It was bright and refreshing, but we prefer the original/red and highly recommend for a dinner beverage. We had fried baby squid to start, the breading was SO light and the squid perfectly cooked, not tough or chewy. For mains we ordered the Ciego Paella. It was fresh and full of flavor. There was pork, chicken, squid, mussels and shrimps. The pork pieces were surprisingly my favorite, they were perfectly cooked compared to the chicken which was slightly over. But it could also be just chicken breast. The shrimp was my second favorite bc it was juicy. We ordered the flan for dessert which was very good and not too sweet.

Service: The servers at the restaurant were friendly, conversational and all around awesome. Some spoke German! They offered recommendations and really help you make an...

Been to xaloc a few times over the past few years very good experience until this year .booked our table in advance (3days) turned up very much on time . couldn't find my booking to start with .turns out the guy that took the booking couldn't spell the name Bruce properly eventually got seated at nice outside table .only for waiter to come up a few minutes later and said he gave us the wrong table and ask us to move not too happy as we liked where we were but moved without a fuss .we ordered jug of rose sangria as we always do .waiter came back with red wine sangria.told him we ordered the rose . apologies then went to change it came Bach a few minutes later with a white wine sangria .told him he's not having a good night but said to leave it we will drink it .then when meal came thing on the plate not ordered and things ordered were missing left half meal as they put garlic butter on it without it being on the menu and never had it previous times bit of a disaster but still left a good tip as a fair well won't be back to xaloc...

The staff here were just lovely, and the restaurant is placed well on one of the main strips in Santa Ponsa, so it’s very easy to get to. We shared a starter garlic bread, which was okay; served a little burned but with cheese and a fair amount of garlic flavour, more garlic and fresh butter would have made this more enjoyable. The main was a shared seafood paella, again, very respectable although slightly salty for my taste and very light on the green pepper and veg, I would prefer it with more fresh veg. There was tons of squid in it, all cooked brilliantly - none of this was rubbery. The crabmeat was hard to get too as it was all legs and claws and one of my prawns was rotten which was a shame. The mussels were delicious and overall it was a very enjoyable meal- filling and tasty so we skipped...
