“ Atmosphere: Typical Spanish Bar. If you like places more quiet this is not for you Food: Croquettes de pollo were ok but not great Campero de pollo was good so were the Boquerones al vinagre. Salpicon de Marisco was good as well. One of the best i had in Andalucia. Huebos rotos con jamon was good as well. Service: Mostly fast and friendly ”
“ Tapas alfresco! Service of a neighborhood bar. Great tapas! I recomemend the garlic snails, but rhe olives, meatballs, spanish frittata were all excellent choices. Not completely free, I do not think we drank enough! Not easy to get to, limited parking, steep hills, try to park above and walk (There is a public park above with parking) ”
“ I went there with my family and we absolutely loved the food and service. Authentic Spanish tapas. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend! ”
“ Unfortunately we arrived to the restaurant at a very busy period (even it was off-season), and also they forgot our food I guess, so we were waiting for our meal more than 1 hour. Otherwise, I can recommend the place; food was delicious and really Andalusian! Don't go to the big cities if you want to try real local food, choose these smaller ones instead! Much cheaper and much better! ”
“ This is the best restaurant during our stay in Costa del Sol. Food was deli, good size portions, service was amazing and very affordable. Our server Tomas was very nice, funny and took great care of us. We ordered the mushrooms croquettes, the Pincho Moron (chicken skeewer), tosta de carne mecha, berenjenas and a flan. All food was amazing. We had a wonderful time. Service was the best. I strongly recomend it. There is a parking very close in the morador, like 5 min walking distance. ”
