Eating good seafood should not mean exorbitant prices. For 50 years, this has been the philosophy of Marisquería Moreno, a family business located south of Madrid that continues to focus on high-quality products.
This seafood paradise is located in the middle of an industrial park in Getafe, where they have 2,400 square meters dedicated to the sea. Its main attractions are the seafood platter and the grill platter for four people, both priced at $18 per person, although the menu includes a wider variety of dishes.

Marisquerías Moreno was founded in 1976 by Cecilio Moreno and, thanks to his wife, children, and granddaughters, the tradition has continued to this day. The idea began as a simple cooking facility, but today you can buy fresh products or eat them in the restaurant area, offering customers a complete experience.
The Getafe establishment is located at Calle de Las Islas Cíes, 1, but they also have another in Móstoles, at kilometer 20 of the Antigua de Extremadura highway, which demonstrates the success of the business.
This year, they are celebrating the personal and professional growth of the Moreno brand and, on their website, they thank their customers, suppliers, co-workers, and friends who have made this possible.
