If there is a dish with tradition in this restaurant that is the Paella Pepica which owes its name to a story that happened to the great Valencian painter Joaquin Sorolla while dining at La Pepica:

"He came one night for dinner and he could't carve prawns and crayfish the removed and the peeled in the kitchen, when he returned to the restaurant was served directly the paella with peeled seafood and since then include this dish in our menu" (F.Balaguer)
