Rincon del Mar is almost a one-dish decision if you read the strongest reviews. The house seafood stew is the reason to go: a rich broth, plenty of fish, shrimp, mussels and vegetables, and portions so large that staff may advise you not to order much else.
That advice matters. Reviews repeatedly mention abundant portions and the owner explaining the size before people over-order. Choose it when you want a generous seafood meal rather than a delicate tasting spread. The dish is the draw; the smart move is to trust the portion warning.

Guest review summary
Commonly mentioned by visitors.
The house seafood stew gets exceptional praise for rich broth, fish, prawns, mussels and vegetables.
Portions are huge, and staff actively help guests avoid over-ordering.
The dish feels memorable enough to justify choosing the restaurant around it.
It is less useful if you want many small dishes instead of one large seafood speciality.

I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the seafood stew actually was. Very well seasoned, abundant in fish, shrimp and mussels, the broth was amaaazing and it was a truly delicious dish, full of flavor. The restaurant itself is quite unique, I appreciate small businesses that managed to stay strong for decades, and this one is one of them. The waiter, who is also the owner, was very kind, funny and outgoing, the only thing I found a bit pushy, is that he recommended everyone this stew. I went to this restaurant specifically for it, but heard other costumers trying to order something else, but kept being persuaded to order that meal only. I understand why, because it truly tastes delicious, but it made them feel uncomfortable and my husband and I as well , as we were eating next to them.

One of the best dishes we’ve ever had!
It was recommended by the kindest and most fun señor on the island, and he gave us excellent advice not to order anything else, as it was more than sufficient.
The special is this amazing seafood soup, served with new potatoes baked in salt.
Simply delicious — a dish to remember and to come back for! Please, please do yourself a favour and try it! And to top it all off, it's a highly affordable dish as well!
Worth noting that we didn’t speak Spanish, but the menu is available in many languages, including Romanian, so it was easy to follow. There is no phone service in the restaurant, which made it slightly difficult to use translate and tell the gentleman serving us how much we were enjoying the experience - apart from that, genuinely no complaints on the service!!
Para el amable señor que nos atendió: gracias por recibirnos, ¡especialmente con nuestro español tan roto! Nos encantó la comida y todo el restaurante, volveremos — las dos chicas rumanas ligeramente confundidas de la mesa de la esquina :)

Thank you very much for the unforgettable experience. This is one of the most delicious seafood dishes imaginable. An excellent broth, plenty of vegetables, and a variety of seafood that come together with a wonderful aftertaste. It is served with potatoes. The portion is so large that it can easily be shared by three, or even four people. Authentic cuisine, not a touristy place. Something truly worth experiencing when visiting another country.

we had a short great time here, lot of choices between fiches and seafoods. The portions are really big and it’s already explained from the owner at the moment of commanding. 40€ for two persons (Marinera for main dish and a half liter of red wine) is good.
