    We wanted you to see a flamenco show while in the Malaga area. We read the reviews so we knew what…read moreto expect. Yes, it's a "tourist trap," €15 per person for a a flamenco show that you are charged for with no prior warning.....but where else can you see flamenco for that price? They don't have a real stage; just a section of the restaurant, but the dancers were good and the show was just under an hour with 2 separate costumes. It was a little difficult to see the dancers from our table because of decorated columns/trees in the restaurant as well as other diners blocking the view. We also read about the charges for anything extra that they bring to your table like bread at €10. (We saw every other table with a bread basket, and it did look quite good.). I ordered a hamburger which came with fries, and my sister ordered a few tapas items. The burger was actually quite good with a freshly baked bun and flavorful cheese. My sister had croquettes that had a stew-like filling, (not sure what it was,), but she said they were delicious. She also had a tapas made of zucchini, bacon and cheese which she said was also really good. It was a cute little restaurant with open air seating. If you want to see flamenco in Spain, and don't want to spend an arm and a leg; or sit through a 3 hour event.....this is a good option. Just be aware that everything comes with an additional cost!

    Our favorite place to eat while in Fuengirola! The food is fantastic, the service friendly and did…read moreI mention the food??? We've been here 3 times now and can't wait to go back. I loved their Mojito Fresa.

    We ended up here purely for the reason that we spied enough outside seating for our group of 10, a…read moremiracle in itself in Mijas (gorgeous wee town by the way, well worth a visit). Menus had pictures for every item, and although useful I'm instantly put off by this, I feel it cheapens a restaurant. My end of the table decided to share the Gambas Pil Pil (actually very tasty), a ham plate and the avocado salad (which was massive!). They arrived in the traditional Spanish way ie as and when things were ready, and although ours arrived in a timely manner, the other end of the table had to chase some of their items several times. We ordered our usual round of coffees after which took a wee time to come out too. I'd rank this place as being overpriced for what it is, probably due to it being on the main tourist drag. Beer is cheap however and comes in the cutest welly boot glasses, so a star for novelty value there. Would I go back? For the welly boot beer - yes, food - maybe, though Mijas had plenty other places which caught my eye, and service - not so much.

    We sat down outside to have lunch. Young waitress had scowl on her face from the time we sat down…read moreuntil the time she made it over to us with menus which was 15+ minutes later. We decided it was too hot sitting outside and moved inside. While seated Inside, we waited another 15 + minutes for the same rude waitress to approach our table. Seeing how horrible the service and attitude of this waitress was, we decided not to order anything and left. Fortunately, we found a great restaurant close by, Meguinez where the food and service was great!
