After reading all the positive reviews, we decided to try Puratapa on a Saturday evening. They do…read morenot take reservations and some outside tables were already full at 7:45pm, waiting for them to open. We really wanted a seat inside, so that was fine. The menu are chalkboards on two walls. They are only in Spanish language. The atmosphere is hectic. My boyfriend and I ordered 6 different tapas and a sparkling water and 0,0 beer. Olives and a bread basket were immediately placed on the table. They had 6 waiters who provide attentive service. We watched plate after plate being served outside. Finally, my Hamburguesa Ternera arrived. Then my Hummus Tapenade arrived and shortly after that, my Pate de Ave. I had finished and was sitting a good 20 minutes before my boyfriend received his first plate,Tataki Atun. Pretty much all the people seated outside, even those who came after us, had finished their plates by now. Another 15 minutes passed before by boyfriend received his Bikini de Rambo and Bikini Bacalao at the same time. It was obvious the kitchen could not handle the Saturday dining crowd. They were making one type of tapa at a time to fill all orders for them. My Pate was good. I have had better hummus at a neighboring restaurant. My boyfriend's Bikini Bacalao was supposed to have guacamole. The sandwich was somewhat tasteless. When he removed the bread, there was none to be seen. He asked the waiter where the guacamole was. The waiter looked and pointed to a tiny unseen fleck on the bread and said that was the guacamole. The check was 33€ which included a 1€ fee for cutlery and 10% IVA. I don't see how this is considered the top tapas restaurant in the vicinity. We have had better experiences elsewhere.

My boyfriend and I ate here a few nights ago. We had stopped on our way from Tarifa to Estepona…read moreand made a reservation for later in the evening. When we returned, we were greeted warmly. Great location and views! The menu is in English, Spanish and German. The speciality is grilled: seafood and from the land. My boyfriend ordered grilled German sausages and I ordered a hamburger. Both were cooked to perfection. He thought his was coming with potato salad, but came with fries instead. Portions were huge. Service was super attentive and friendly. The above with 2x sparkling waters and 2x 0,0 beer was 35€. No service charge or bread was added. I would not chose here for fine dining, but it is a definite for grill/barbecue/beach fare!

No Paella here. La Escollera is strictly seafood from what I saw. Because of Escollera's popularity with tourists AND locals alike, it gets busy so have a few things in mind: (1) give your name+last name to the host inside (2) if you can grab a high-top outside, go for it and get a Starter bite while you wait, (3) someone will yell out your last name, then (4) you're in. Attention from all the servers is definitely here and each offered individual tid-bit on what we ordered. Dozen oysters (or "12 pieces") were meaty and juicy with the right amount of oyster liquor. What's more, I know the oysters hubs and I have been getting on the East Coast in the States are good- but these here in Spain's Southern Coast are mind-blowing. Horseradish and mignonette? They're obsolete in these parts. You will get Tabasco as an alternate (for hubs) and some individually-packaged red wine. It did just fine. Prawns were good but the Sardines were excellent with a slightly crunchy-garlicky exterior. The oysters took it a bit over from what we've experienced during our stay. But come to think of it, comparing the quality and straight-from-the-sea catch to the East Coast, they were worth the €54. Skip the juicy-flavored sangria and go for a red or white instead. In essence, it's all about the seafood here.

Best seafood I've ever had!!…read more We arrived mid afternoon and the place was crowded. We put our name on the list but ended up just getting a bar table outside (which has service anyway). We ordered a lot of small plates and everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. While we usually prefer sautéed seafood, the fried squid was exceptional. Don't miss out on this spot! Right by the water, beautiful view.

But remember, you have to order rice on the side! My mother had the sweet and sour chicken which was realy good as well. Good taste, consistense and was even served in a halv pinapple which was cool and fun. In the sauce was fresh pinapple as well :)

We picked 3 tapas: Mexican rib taco, Mexican hamburger and the black truffle spinach ravioli. Olives and a bread basket were brought to the table automatically. My boyfriend's rib taco appeared quickly. He had finished by the time both my hamburger and ravioli appeared at the same time. All were good. Service was decent. I never understand the timing of the food coming from the kitchen. Another table with children continually received plates of food. Another table had received none. For a small beer and a Coke, the bill was 21€, which included the fee for the bread.
