Traditional horchatería that's more local than tourist, which means it's less charming but more authentic. The horchata is well-made, the fartons are standard, and the space is fluorescent-lit functional rather than plaza-pretty. Locals stop in for quick horchata on hot days, treat it like getting a soda rather than a cultural experience. If Santa Catalina feels too performative or crowded, this is the utilitarian alternative. Just horchata, just Valencia, no romance.

Horchata and fartons, same as anywhere. The quality is good, the experience is just less atmospheric. Takeaway works fine.
Afternoon when you want horchata without the scene. Anytime if other places are packed. Summer is horchata season everywhere.
Cash only. Minimal seating, mostly takeaway. No English, but ordering is simple. This is a functional stop, not a destination. Lower prices than tourist spots.
