No Paella here. La Escollera is strictly seafood from what I saw. Because of Escollera's popularity with tourists AND locals alike, it gets busy so have a few things in mind: (1) give your name+last name to the host inside (2) if you can grab a high-top outside, go for it and get a Starter bite while you wait, (3) someone will yell out your last name, then (4) you're in. Attention from all the servers is definitely here and each offered individual tid-bit on what we ordered. Dozen oysters (or "12 pieces") were meaty and juicy with the right amount of oyster liquor. What's more, I know the oysters hubs and I have been getting on the East Coast in the States are good- but these here in Spain's Southern Coast are mind-blowing. Horseradish and mignonette? They're obsolete in these parts. You will get Tabasco as an alternate (for hubs) and some individually-packaged red wine. It did just fine. Prawns were good but the Sardines were excellent with a slightly crunchy-garlicky exterior. The oysters took it a bit over from what we've experienced during our stay. But come to think of it, comparing the quality and straight-from-the-sea catch to the East Coast, they were worth the €54. Skip the juicy-flavored sangria and go for a red or white instead. In essence, it's all about the seafood here.

Best seafood I've ever had!!…read more We arrived mid afternoon and the place was crowded. We put our name on the list but ended up just getting a bar table outside (which has service anyway). We ordered a lot of small plates and everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. While we usually prefer sautéed seafood, the fried squid was exceptional. Don't miss out on this spot! Right by the water, beautiful view.

For this scant decorated restaurant, Urban T. delivered on exquisite tasting tapas and plates- which we only spent all but €46 on 4 glasses of solid (if I may add) Sangria, 2 Tapas and 2 Plates. So expect savory, aromatic and super delicious foods. Service is speedy- but don't think for a moment you're being rushed out. My girl Nuria was a bubble of unicorn and bubblegum energy and super welcoming. Even though hubs and I didn't come for Paella, we met the chef who confidently showed off one he'd just prepared. Urban Tapas is super chill, funky and you take it all in at your own leisure. Then again, you're in Spain.

A tiny little restaurant in the port of Estepona. We were told about the delicious 'arroces' (rice…read moredishes) so we decided to try it out. I have been to Spain many times, and have tried paella and am usually disappointed with the muddled taste and the fattiness, until now. This paella was really delicious. The shrimp tasted like shrimp, the muscles tasted like delicious muscles and the rice had the flavor of all the seafood. The salad was very refreshing to eat while we waited for our Paella to be cooked, which took some time, but all in all, not so bad, considering it has to simmer long. I recommend this place.

The price was reasonable for the quality of the food. We also ordered a special red wine called Faustino I. The service was amazing and the waiter was very attentive to our needs. The manager himself came to our table and asked us if the food was good. For dessert, we ordered arroz con leche and it was authentic and delicious!

It's very popular so it's not easy to get a table if you want to sit outside. I had deep fried shrimps for a starter and was just what I been longing for. Very simple but tasteful My girlfriend had gazpacho which was delicious. Spicy and full of taste. For main course we had a fish caught from the sea 100 yards from the restaurant. I don't remember the Spanish name but it was very good. Served with boiled vegetables. That would not have been my choice but they were ok. I like Mediterranean french fries so next time I'll have that. Two sodas, two glasses of wine, starters and two main courses 41€ it's pretty good. Recommended!
