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!

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.

This restaurant is more about its famous owner than the food.

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.

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

It gets crowded and loud soon after they open at 8:30 for dinner after closing for a few hours post lunch. No English menus but that's ok. Come in, open up your Translator and make friends with the servers behind the Bar. It will be so worth it. I started with a Verdejo and first Tapa was the Torezznos de Soria (Fried Pork Belly). Had this as an appetizer back home and this version is so much better-salty, crunch outside, tender inside-beyond delicious! Next was the Carilladda de Cerdo (Pork Cheeks) had the taste/texture of Short Rib-super tender and tasty. Solomillo à la Poniente-tenderloin with creamy sauce taking it over the top. Pinchito de Cordero (grilled lamb cubes) so tender and without the gamey. Pulpo Frito (fried octopus)-first time having it and enjoyed it. De Buey (their mini burger)-cooked medium rare and leaves you wanting a few more. 2nd visit-Busanos (snails-not escargot), -Ostras (Oysters), -Flamenquin Cordobes (deep fried ham/cheese in a roll-delicious), -Lomo en Manteca (pork loin in lard mini sandwich), -Pinchito de longanizo (sausage skewer) a little spicy, nice snap and salty, -Sombretito de Cabra (fried goat cheese with honey) on the bottom, slice of eggplant and tomato, -Sardines ahumadas (smoked sardines) with tomato on bottom-salty oily-delicious, -Cazuelita de christorra de Arbizu-salty sausage pieces pair nicely with Bravas. Friendly servers behind the Bar. Melen took great care of me-A Local's favorite where you plan on spending a short time or a few hours and trying out a few of their delicacies paired with your beverages of choice. When in Malaga, a must stop!
