A foundation of Spanish rice mingling with mixed veggies and loaded with spicy chorizo, clams, calamari, mussels, and shrimp, all dressed in saffron sauce. This is the paella mixta, one of Cambalache Grill's signature dishes. In fact, the paella has won culinary awards. It's just one of many items on a menu that encompasses elements of Italian, Argentinean, and Spanish cuisine at this Fountain Valley eatery.

If you want to savor the flavors of each country, start with a mix of appetizers to share. Try the tortilla ala Espanola, a Spanish omelet, with an order of Argentinean empanadas and fried calamari. While you nibble on the small plates, peruse the rest of the menu — it's large, so you'll need some time. Opt for a pizza like the simple pepperoni or margherita, or try something more exciting such as the pie topped with the paella mixta ingredients. Try a classic plate of Italian pasta or chicken or veal marsala. Enjoy an authentic Argentinean dish, like the grilled prime short ribs (Asado de tiro) or the jumbo shrimp in spicy Pomodoro (scampi dello chef). There's something for everyone at Cambalache Grill.
