Uno mas. The name of this place means one more and the food here stands by the name. you can never stop at one here. This place has the BEST paella one can ever have in Goa.

Back in 2018, I went on the most memorable trip. I came back with loads of memories and some food cravings, which I could not satisfy in Goa, till the time I came across this beautiful restaurant. This mini Spain in Goa if full of surprises or sure. From the time you step into the beautiful Frida Kahlo cushions and the lovely tapas. They have it all. With a spoilt choice of food and drinks, every bite on the menu is worth trying. There is nothing striking about this place when you see it from the outside as you pass through the streets of Vagator, but the bright and quirky elements as you enter the place will scream joy and happiness from every corner. As we say in GenZ language, a total Instagram-worthy place. speaking about the menu, they have made sure the authentic tapas along with a few Mexican dishes will tingle with your taste buds. Their speciality Gambas had my heart with the first bite. Beautifully cooked prawns with some fragrant prawn head oil. Need I say more? Next, let’ s speak about Patatas Bravas. Faultlessly cooked baby potatoes served with some rich smoked salsa brava with garlic aioli. This dish was textbook perfect.

Not to Forget how they served the Paella in the kadhai and we were totally enjoying having it from one kadhai. The perfectly balanced spices with the seafood were perfect to end our meals with. wait once cant end their meal without any dessert right? And they make sure that you won 't be disappointed with your last course. For desserts, we had, Tres Leches cake. I honestly have no words to describe how amazing this was. The silky and airy sponge soaked in the 3 milks was a perfect pallet cleanser. it is said that bac in the 1920s when Spain when Coca Cola was not easily available in the country, the riches of the country would make this drink called Kalimaxto (coca-cola and wine mixed) later in 1953, when the first coca-cola factory was opened up in the country, it became a common drink. But Uno Mas actually served us Kalimaxto in Parron. How cool is that? everyone out there is missing out on some good fun if you haven 't been to Uno Mas as yet.
