They have won several prices for their rices and we make it a point to come every year we visit. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. They recommend dishes and go out of their way to accommodate their guests. THE FOOD IS AMAZING! As an added bonus it is located water front, in the port, with nice views and atmosphere.

A tiny little restaurant in the port of Estepona. We were told about the delicious 'arroces' (rice…read moredishes) so we decided to try it out. I have been to Spain many times, and have tried paella and am usually disappointed with the muddled taste and the fattiness, until now. This paella was really delicious. The shrimp tasted like shrimp, the muscles tasted like delicious muscles and the rice had the flavor of all the seafood. The salad was very refreshing to eat while we waited for our Paella to be cooked, which took some time, but all in all, not so bad, considering it has to simmer long. I recommend this place.

The praise ends there. We had a late lunch and were one of five tables. We ordered a beer, sparkling water, vegetable wrap and bruschetta. My boyfriend ordered in Spanish & the waitress didn't understand him. He pointed to the items on the menu. She looked closely & wrote them down. Ten minutes later she returned & asked me what we ordered. She also asked either if I was French or spoke French, or that's what I understood. After another 10 minutes, our orders appeared. I took a small bite of the wrap and tasted chicken in the supposed vegetable/vegetarian wrap. My boyfriend's bruschetta looked like one thin piece of white bread with pieces of tomato atop. He got another server's attention & pointing to my wrap asked if that was indeed chicken inside the vegetable/vegetarian wrap. Yes, it was. She whisked it back to the kitchen. Another 20 minutes passed and our waitress appeared with the vegetable/vegetarian wrap. In broken English she explained she thought we ordered the chicken wrap & then changed & said the kitchen had gotten it wrong?!? Both the wrap and bruschetta were mediocre at best. The bruschetta was obviously someone's interpretation of what bruschetta was. The vegetable wrap was supposed to have Philadelphia cream cheese. Half had cream cheese and half had goat cheese!?! Small children were running thru the restaurant & onto the beach and back. Their parents ignored them. A table next to us filled with three men and began chain smoking. The table closest to them asked for another table. We also got continuous cigarette smoke, but at this point were only waiting for the check. It was 28€, so not inexpensive for the bad experience. Don't think we will eat here again.

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.
