Had dinner here on a Friday night. We sat outside at a table closest to the water. The ambiance was…read moreso relaxing. Service was good. We started by splitting a salad. My friend who Lives nearby noted they are that big. It was a very hearty salad and had lettuce, corn, tuna, tomatoes, carrots, and beets in it. It could have been a meal at lunchtime- especially if that was half. Then we had my favorite dish which is the friend small fish- I forget the name. I got it several times throughout my trip but this place was extra delicious. I loved them!! We ordered fresh fish for our main course. They brought it out to show before cooking it. My friend pointed out the fire pit next to the restaurant where they do the cooking. The fish was amazing. So yummy!!

With the exception of us on a Tuesday night everyone is a local. The fish and seafood is as fresh as I could every imagine and the prices very reasonable.

I forgot to mention your right on a board walk over looking the ocean and the fire pits! Check out the pictures

The seafood was fresh and delicious and the prices were very reasonable. We were very happy with everything that we ordered. It was all cooked really well. The grilled cuttlefish was probably my favorite. The shrimp in garlic sauce was really good too, as it had a really strong garlicky taste. Friendly service.

Their specialty is grilled sardines. Only open from 11:30 through 4:45. They have other options if you want fried food but we prefer grilled.

Very sympaticos staff. Dorada from the special beachboat grill was succulent and fresh. The paella subtle to allow the seafood taste to emerge.

We had their fish sampler for two, curd pudding and white chocolate flan. Everything was excellent. Fresh. Tasty. Server was very nice and spoke some English too. Day 2: We went there at the same time as Day 1 (around 1:30pm) but we realize they have a late lunch. But on day 2 they just refused to open the door for us. No explanation, so courtesy coming to the door to say they are closed just snuffed out. And then we liked their food so much we went back again twice that day, both times they were closed...maybe they are not interested in getting business? Also guys, do something about the flies! Too grimy, too dirty, too annoying.

I really enjoyed the "Twister de gambas" (shrimp tempura), the "boquerones" and the "espetos". We also try clams and small fried calamari. Everything was amazing! One of the best places I've never try in Costa del Sol. Not surprise the restaurant was full (even though the beach seems to be big to have enough tables). The service was perfect: quick and diligent. And our meal was super cheap: 85€ for a 6-person dinner, including 3 beers for some of us and wine. I will come back for sure!

This restaurant has a broad selection of super fresh fish and seafood. They charge it by weight. The service is friendly and impecable. The ingredients are the best quality that can be imagined.
