Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan｜El Valenciano

This is a Spanish restaurant located near Keio Hachioji Station. For lunch, the restaurant opens at 12:00 and is sometimes full. The place filled up quickly today, and several customers were turned away. The homemade hamburger steak, which is a regular lunch menu and also a signature menu, is very popular. Soup, salad, homemade hamburger, and rice or baguette for 1,150 yen. Everything was delicious and I was wondering if it would be okay for this price. The stew of beef also looked delicious. It's a very popular restaurant at night, so I think it's safe to make a reservation.

Visited for the first time in 10 years. The paella here is really delicious. I'm also happy to see the store staff's concern for customers ☺️Conscientious stores prosper! I don't have any business in Hachioji these days, so I don't visit the area anymore, but I think it's still a good idea to come to Hachioji just to eat the food here.

“Dinner was really delicious! (Reservations required for dinner)” 2021/10/2 Two people used it on Saturday. It's the first weekend after the end of the state of emergency, and they are still open with reduced hours, so I made a reservation in advance (although I made a reservation in the afternoon that day). I visited at 5pm, just after the store opened, but there was already one group of customers in front of me, and I was the second group of customers, and due to the time difference, three groups of customers came in after me, and by 6:30pm, the restaurant was full, including the counter. . Advance reservations for dinner at this restaurant are a must. Looking at the menu, it seems that the standard style of this restaurant is that the main dish is ``paella'', and while waiting for the ``paella'' to be prepared, you have ``TAPAS'' and wine. . You can order 5 types of paella for 2 people or more, but it takes over 40 minutes to prepare. "Marmitako (Stewed yellowtail and potato Basque style)": 790 yen (tax included, same below) Taste 3.7 points / 4.2 points Order from the blackboard menu. It was a stew dish with plenty of paprika in addition to yellowtail and potatoes. The sauce looks like tomato sauce, but the seasoning felt strongly like Japanese-style soup stock. It tastes like dried bonito flakes or dried sardines. Seasoned with Japanese-style soup stock, tomatoes, and plenty of garlic. It was a strange dish that had a Japanese feel to it even though it was Spanish cuisine. This is a delicious dish. I wanted to eat it with bread. “Potato with garlic mayonnaise”: 451 yen, taste 3.7 points/4.4 points This is a potato salad-like dish made with mashed potatoes and shaped potatoes mixed with garlic. This is also delicious. "Spanish omelet": 506 yen, taste 3.6 points / 4.2 points It's an omelet, but it uses more potatoes than eggs. It is lightly salted and served with garlic mayo. Is he a chef who loves garlic, or does Spanish cuisine use garlic a lot? We love garlic, so we welcome this kind of thing. “Seafood Paella”: 1,650 yen x 2 servings, taste 3.8 points/3.8 points The main dish is finally served. It took nearly 60 minutes from ordering, but I received a reasonable amount of appetizers, so I didn't feel tired of waiting. There was more volume than I expected. When the meal was served, we were told, ``If you can't eat it all, you can take it home, so don't overdo it.'' That's kind of you. When I received it, it was a paella with plenty of seafood flavor. This is delicious! The ingredients were large shrimp, small shrimp, squid, white fish, mussels, and clams. However, although it is delicious, the problem is that it gets cold easily because it is served in an iron pot. As it cooled down, the flavor gradually became stronger. Personally, I might have preferred a little less seasoning. But it's delicious. You can also order paella using pasta instead of rice. It also sounds delicious, so I would like to try the pasta paella next time. The total cost for two people was 6,587 yen including tax, including 3 appetizers, 1 main dish of paella, and a decanter of white wine. It was a very satisfying meal. I can't beat the cost performance for lunch, but I think the dinner prices are pretty competitive as well. (Lunch is way too cheap to begin with!) Please make a reservation in advance for dinner! This is a restaurant that I would recommend with confidence for both lunch and dinner!
