Rincón Maritza

Rincón Maritza, which most people search for as El Rincón de Maritza, serves home-style food in unit 7 of Aldeas de Taray, beside Gran Vía at km 17 of La Manga. It is more a neighbourhood place than a stop for passers-by, and the paella with secreto ibérico (a cut of Iberian pork) and porcini is what diners remember most.

What to eat

The menu is simple, with hearty portions. These dishes appear most often in reviews:

• paellas, arroz a banda (rice cooked in fish stock) and caldero (the local fish and rice stew)
• roast chicken with potatoes
• entrecôte and burgers made with quality meat
• ham croquettes and squid
• bread with alioli (garlic sauce)

Google classifies it as a pizzeria and it does make pizza, although people mainly come for rice dishes and meat.

Rice dishes made to order

Many customers order paella in advance, to eat in or take away, ensuring they get the rice dish they want.
