Tecolotes Valencia

This charming and cool cantina should be on your culinary radar. Come here for the fajitas and the margaritas, of course, but also for the Mexican coffee. The place is colourful, fun and also price-friendly.

The menu has only a few options, but I know now that that’s a good thing. I believe I have tried all the tacos and burritos listed, so feel free to ask about any of them. The Mexican vibe is on display with famous artists painted on the walls and colourful lighting decorations. That’s the cantina vibe I mentioned before: an enchanting bar to enjoy margaritas, beers, or any cocktail you like.

If you come for an early dinner, no reservations are needed. But keep this in mind as the place is not very big and gets crowded rather quickly.

One of my favourite things here is “café de olla”. It’s a Mexican way to prepare regular coffee and is delicious. Trust me, if you haven’t tried it and make space for it post-meal, I even dare to say: skip dessert altogether and have just coffee. It's that good.
