If you are out at the beach with the kids, this is a great place to stop for Paella. The food is excellent, there's a covered outdoor patio, and service is quick. Child friendly dishes (besides paella) include bread smeared with tomato, spanish tortilla, and croquettes. There's also an inespensive 3 course menu del dia for lunch.
