We ordered: -porra with quail egg: this was very similar to gazpacho (which I love) so I automatically loved this -anchovies with guacamole: I'm not a big fan of anchovies but my boyfriend is and he really liked this dish -octopus: delicious! -squid with crispy black rice: this was my favorite dish, the squid was so flavorful and went perfectly with the crispy rice -sea bream: also delicious, loved the eggplant and goat cheese sauce that came with it -boar stew: I'm not a big fan of stews, but I can tell that it was cooked well You honestly can't go wrong with any of the tapas. Highly recommend!

We tried the shredded chicken plantain app, the assorted croquettes, the steak tartare bao, a bison and lamb burger - all delicious! Homemade with care, and attention to detail in spice and flavor profiles. A yes if you can swing a table right away OR if you have to wait a bit for one. Well worth the delights that await!

Picture in your head what a stereotype tapas place should look like and I'm pretty sure something…read moreclose to this is what most would imagine. I love this place. Service is slightly slow because of the amount of people that they serve at any given time. So yes understandably, you will probably have to flag your waiter/waitress if you want anything after your initial order is taken because it can seem a little chaotic. The place is total old school Andalusia. How about the food? The food is just as authentic as the look of this place, which is always packed. I had the typical tomato salad with fish which is always delicious because the basic ingredients are always so fresh. Tomatoes stand out here because they are soo good. I enjoyed patatas bravas, salpicon, gildas, jamon, olives and croquetas de toro. What better to wash it all down with than a cup of Jerez amontillado and a glass of tinto de verano. Those that have left mediocre reveiws probably don't know what to expect or have no idea what to order, which, will probably end in an unfavorable experience. If you want a genuine experience of Malaga, then this place should be on your list of places to eat.

Overall, we had a great experience at Casa Lola! Everything we ordered was delicious, and we really…read moreenjoyed the tapas. However, the one disappointment was ironically the most expensive dish we ordered: the Langostinos al Pil Pil (€12). We were expecting nice, plump prawns, but what arrived were tiny shrimp. They really should have called the dish "Camaroncitos al Pil Pil" instead of langostinos! Other than that, everything was excellent. Just a heads-up for anyone ordering the langostinos: don't expect large prawns!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! I've been craving paella for a few days now, so…read morewe decided to stop here to try the Paella de la Casa, which was only €30.

It was A LOT of food for one person so I definitely recommend sharing with others. I'd rate the food 8.3/10 and there was multiple types of fish/seafood with varying texture and flavour/taste - Anchovies: 8.8/10: Fresh and nicely fried - Chanqetes: 7.5/10: Little white/silver fish, interesting texture as the fish were so small (strings of protein) - Calamares: 8.3/10: Decently fried - Rosada en adobo: 9/10: Nice chunks of fish (Cod?) that were nicely battered and fried. - Acedias: 8.5/10: More delicate fish, good combo with the rest, i.e. cod - Pescadilla: 9.3: Good flavour, nicely battered and fried, felt like a great value - Squid tentacles: 8.3/10: A bit dry but interesting to try

I was hesitant to try this place given how busy, popular and hyped it is. I went Sunday afternoon…read morefor lunch and stood at the bar as all of the tables were full. But, two of the fastest, hardest working and efficient bar keeps took great care of me. I had a Tinto de Verona, a burger and patatas bravas. Both were superb. All of the meals and tapas coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. I was very surprised and impressed. I even left the bar keeps a tip for which they seemed quite grateful. While there us a wait, always, I'm glad I took a chance. It was great. And any place that has Tinto de Verona on tap is doing God's work in my opinion.

People come in the hope of sighting this celebrity, crowding the restaurant at all hours and overwhelming its staff. Our server pointed us to a QR code on the cocktail menu so we could look up what's on offer. This menu gave ONLY the names of the dishes on offer, WITHOUT any description of the dish or its sides. Nor did the server have the time to describe them to us. Service was a 2, at best, while the food was a 3. If you're looking for good food and good service, there are plenty of other options in Málaga. If you choose a place to eat on the off chance you will see a movie star, this is the place for you.

We started with a local White Wine. Eresma Verdejo (2022)-light and on the drier side-we enjoyed it. For Tapas, it was Patatas Bravas-crispy potatoes with a tasty aioli. Fried Eggplants were delicious. The difference in Malaga is they use Molasses vs Honey which was the case in Barcelona. Last but not least is this spot's specialty-Espeto. Sardines on a stick grilled over charcoal. Besides Vendors on the Beach, this is the only spot in the city you can get it prepared this way. Watched the Chef prepping them-smoky and a must try! Saw a Charcuterie board for another party and it looked delicious. Interestingly, Mentidero means liar. Service was upbeat and friendly. Great atmosphere, food and a taste of Local Flavor.

If you're looking for some authentic Malagueña food, this is your place. Except on Mondays…read more Explanation below... I'd been planning to hit this place all week, and finally was able to make it. I'd been wanting to try their authentic fire cooked Espetos de Sardina, sardine skewers, and my last night in Málaga, a Monday, was going to be it. Unfortunately, Mondays they don't do any of the skewers. Turns out they have one guy who specializes in this sort of Malagan cuisine, and he has Mondays off. So, no sardine skewers for me. I was major disappointed. I did get some fried sardines and a some other dishes, along with a really good sangria. Still, I couldn't help but think about what I really wanted. Wait staff was nice and attentive. They switched to English when they heard my accent, but were fine switching back to Spanish when I kept at it. That was nice too. Cost on the higher side, but not outrageous. 3 plates and 2 sangrias set me back €35. Way more did than I could possibly consume. 2 plates would've been sufficient for 1 person.

First, the restaurant is small from the outside. Seriously, you need to use a gps to find the entrance but once you do and walk inside you'll be treated to a an interior that is welcoming and comfortable. The food is great, from the patata bravas, the goat cheese salad and salmon, all dishes are delicious. Haven't had a bad dish at all. Wine selection is fairly comprehensive but hey, this is Spain after all so that's expected. Try any of the local Malaga wines and you won't be disappointed. Service is great and friendly. Carolina is an awesome server so definitely ask for her when you go by, though all the servers are wonderful so you'll get great service regardless. Can't recommend this place enough. If you're in Malaga you should definitely be outside the door at 7p when they open!
