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.

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 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.

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.

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.

They're kind of like the omelette I imagine I'd find in Korea. A little skimpy on the eggs and no cheese (we're lactose intolerant in the motherland) but still quite delicious.

I personally feel the situation could have been handled better, like telling us prior to ordering the drinks or even wording it more politely. It made us not want to even order food at that point since they were so rude about it so we just got the check because we apparently weren't "sophisticated" enough for the restaurant.

We were seated at a small table outside (perfect for people watching) and given a menu. It was a little difficult making a decision, as both everything listed on the menu and every dish we saw go by our table looked absolutely delicious. We finally decided on Battered prawns with treacle and a coriander mayonnaise and the Argentine steak with tomatoes and roasted potatoes. We also ordered a Rioja tinto - Biga 'crianza' to pair with our food. Of note, they have many wines available by the glass. The prawns were incredibly tasty, tender, and the coriander mayonnaise was a perfect accompaniment. The Argentine steak was cooked perfectly and served with a delicious chimichurri sauce that brought a tear to my eye it was that freakin' good. The wine was the cherry topping on a wonderful meal in Malaga. I should mention that we ordered the half plates and we did not leave hungry. The service was fast and the servers friendly. Highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a delicious yet budget friendly meal. Won't break the bank and you will leave sated and happy!
