Poncho's has an excellent varied menu with many of the dishes you expect in an Argentine grill. I visited recently in August and we sat outside on the terrace which has recently been improved and was quite comfortable. Booking is recommended in high season. Being an Argentine grill, well you don't go there for a salad (although they do have these on the menu) - a few starters and a mixed grill. We ordered a mixed grill and a half which was more than enough for our family of five. Quality of meat was excellent (as you would hope) although our rare meat did not have as much sear as I would expect, nevertheless very tasty. They serve the meats on a heated platter which tends to broil the meat a little in the juices. The Chorizo and Morcilla (black pudding) were excellent. House wines was fine and served at the right temperature. Service was very good and staff were attentive and friendly. The meal cost about 125€ with the tip which is a little on the high side but I consider reasonable value. They charge for bread which annoys me a bit but that is me being picky.

Excellent fried fish options - especially the crispy boqueroncitos (sardines) and bacalao (cod chunks). In addition to tapas, most fried fish items are also available in shareable half ration and full ration portions if you're with a group. Perhaps most interesting were the inky-black choco y gambas croquetas (squid and shrimp croquettes). Wash it all down with draft beer, local wines, and/or sherry and vermouth from the barrel.

One of the best meals I had in Spain, wasn't Spanish! It was Argentinean. On my last day in…read moreTorremolinos, I decided to walk to the next town over, Carihuela. I looked and looked for something different than the fried fish, pre-prepared tapas places and the Irish pubs that abound here. One place caught my eye. There were cute flower pots on the tables and the spot looked more elegant, more cared for than the rest (I found out later that it was only 10 days old). The restaurant is called El Canto del Agua and it is located right after Playa Tully. Nancy (from Argentina) is the proprietor. She is an interior decorator, hence, the loving touches. I was going to order the shrimp brochettes, but thank goodness Nancy passed by to talk about the hot stone concept of cooking. Now, I rarely cook, and when I do, it isn't very palatable, and I hardly ever eat red meat, so I was super skeptical about cooking the steak at my table on my own. But, it is their specialty and Nancy is Argentinean, so she would know, so I figured I should give it a go and ordered the smallest entrecôte (sirloin rumpback?) on the menu. Oh. My. Gosh. I truly think that it was the best steak I've ever had. Argentine beef, apparently, is the best. Nancy showed me how to prepare/cook it and it was so EASY! I can't believe I was going to order shrimp! You HAVE to go to El Canto del Agua if you are in Torremolinos! And do the hot stone thing! You will not be sorry. Please say hello to Nancy for me!!!

We found Los Tony's on our first night in Marbella and we ate here twice. It was amazing both times. The ambience is incredible, as it's right on the ocean with a direct view from any table in the restaurant. The seafood is local & as fresh as it gets. You are presented with the daily catches after you sit. The paellas are also plenty and incredible. There is also a great selection of tapas & sangrias. The first night we had a fresh hake that was oven grilled with a wine sauce over oven potatoes and fresh vegetables. The second time we came we had the sea bass baked in salt & potatoes bravas. Our daughters shared a lobster paella on night one and had a lot of leftovers : We started with croquettas and an Iberian cheese board the first night and the 'crispy gambas' the second. One thing : if you don't want the bread, which is a surcharge of about 1.90€ , say it before it's placed on your table.. it will be charged pp on your bill. Our sangria was the best we had in Spain --and we visited 6 places. I had a small 'jug' of Sangria cava and my husband had the small 'jug' of Sangria tinto (red). Dessert is more than listed on the menu -- it will be shown on a large tray; because I struggle with so many allergies and my Spanish is limited, I decided it was best to stick to what I know .. and it was also amazing. Our service was outstanding each time we came here. There are great restaurants along this beach up and down and Los Tony's is one of the best on Nikki Beach .. make a reservation and get a window table. You won't be sorry. Our server was Joavi and he's amazing. Tip well. It's deserved.
