Malagon for late lunch/early dinner. Note, it's putting the photos under my previous review but those photos are when we went as of 4/4/26. I have photos from when we went in 2022 but I won't post them as I feel like this place has went from great to fantastic in that timeline (and some dishes have changed that may no longer be available, or the presentation might be different). Sobrasada con queso (Mallorcan soft chorizo w/ goat cheese & honey on fresh made sourdough). Pulpo a la parilla (grilled octopus w/ paprika sauce, fingerling potatos). Arros con cangrejo (crab rice w/ squid ink & paprika, rice is carolina gold rice). Grilled lamb rump with confit garlic (idr what it was called since I think it's fairly new to the menu I believe?). --- Really great. We've been here before but haven't been back since it's star. The sobrasada was really good. Honestly we could've ordered like 10 of these and called it a day. We usually get octopus whenever it's on most restaurant menus. Grilled and garnished with some oils, fried? parsley I believe, fingerling potatoes, and I think maybe fried garlic or something (I'm just guessing). Simple but cooked very well which is how we like octopus. The squid ink crab rice was my favorite thing and what the server mentioned led them to their star. Was creamy, perfectly seasoned, great texture. For any non-SC folks traveling, it's a must try. Carolina gold rice is pretty core to SC's culinary history and the pairing between this texture and the crab and squid, it balanced well. The lamb rump was very tender and grilled perfectly. There wasn't much fat, but the small bits it had were rendered very well. I believe the greens are snowpea leaves? They recommended spreading the garlic confit on the cut before eating and it was subtle but definitely elevated the flavor. I also grabbed a beer which is their collab with edmunds oast, a local and beloved brewery. Light and refreshing. I thought everything was seasoned very well and cooked perfectly. Staff was attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, and the vibe was very nice. It is a quaint and pretty small spot and we were there for quite a late lunch--i think if you go solo the bar is very doable. For a table of two for a weekend dinner you may have a wait. I unfortunately forgot the server's name but everyone that took care of us were great. We had an RSVP for 4:45 but came in two hours early because our plans got mixed up. Immediately seated. Worth it 100%. The quality of the ingredients and cook, the cozy vibe, the service--well deserved star Malagon.
Wow wow wow wow wow. This was my wife's 50th birthday dinner. It was amazing. Tapas done perfectly. Small fun place with a much deserved Michelin star. Bacon wrapped stuffed dates. So tasty salty sweet. Great. House made bread with amazing melted cheese and chunks of chorizo. Salty and savory and cheesy. What is not too love. It was great could've made myself sick on it. Next came this bulb of potato with pork inside and a savory tomato sauce. So good perfectly crispy outside with an amazing texture and flavor. New to us was beef cheeks. Wow wasn't expecting this presentation but it was tremendous. I loved all of the textures the crispy edges with the soft center and the broth was a great compliment. Very different and tasty. House made cheesecake was a perfect finish to our evening. It was one of the best I've ever had. The biggest star goes to the service staff. They made the evening great. Very excited to serve us and others as we could see. They were as excited about the food as we were. Made my wife's birthday very special. Thank you thank you.
Malagón is the kind of place you might walk past if you didn't know better--small, unassuming, and quietly confident. Once inside, it's immediately clear why this market and tapería earned a Michelin star. The staff are warm, attentive, and impressively synchronized, making the entire experience feel seamless. Our server, Cameron, was outstanding--knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely excited about the menu. She encouraged us to try dishes we might not normally order, and every suggestion was spot-on. We began with the Gilda: anchovy, guindilla pepper, and olive skewers. Five small bites of pure magic--salty, savory, and completely addictive. The soppressata followed, thinly sliced and incredibly tender. Where this cured meat can often be chewy or overly fatty, this version melted in your mouth. The sobrasada con queso was a perfect balance of flavors and textures, hitting every note from rich to creamy. The fried rabbit legs were next and can best be described as elevated chicken nuggets--crispy, juicy, and surprisingly comforting. Then came the La Bomba: a pork-stuffed mashed potato bomb atop tomato and aioli. Hands down our favorite dish of the night. Outrageous in the best way possible, and next time, everyone is ordering their own! The octopus dish delivered serious comfort-food vibes--soft, perfectly cooked, and deeply satisfying. The grouper skewer was cooked so beautifully it made us wish we could order the whole fish prepared this way. Our final savory dish was the carrilleras de ternera al vino tinto, red wine-braised beef cheeks, so tender no knife was needed. The balance of savory and salty was absolutely spot-on. We ended the evening with homemade churros, served hot and fresh--three to a plate, perfect for sharing--alongside an excellent cappuccino. A flawless ending to an unforgettable meal. Malagón is a must-do. You will not be disappointed, and it's abundantly clear why this restaurant has earned its Michelin star.
This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston because of how delicious the food is and for the element of fine dining it offers as a newly Michelin star restaurant. The staff was very attentive and pleasant and the atmosphere was warm and elegant. You will definitely need a reservation in advance. I recommend ordering items you may not reach for at other tapas restaurants because each dish here is unique. MUST TRY: - White asparagus with sardines was so tender it melted in my mouth like butter. I don't usually go for sardines but they were not overpowering and really made the dish shine - was the star of the show - Ibérico pork skirt, which is not a typical cut of meat so definitely recommend, it was deliciously marinated and tender, would get again next time - Grilled king trumpet mushrooms were cooked well and had woody notes that warmed up the meal nicely, the chocolate in the dish was a nice touch - For dessert the basque cheesecake was so good and melty with burnt flavor that I've been dreaming about ever since CAN TRY: - Crudo was delicious, zesty and fresh but if you want something less common could try the other seafood dishes they offer - Bomba (large croquette) was hardy, okay flavor and also more of a typical tapa but definitely a crowd pleaser for large parties so I do recommend WANT TO TRY: - Carrots, beef cheeks, grilled wagyu steak, cabbage with vinegar, pulpo, charcuterie, chorizo with goat cheese and honey
Had a wonderful lunch at Malagon. Hard to believe a Michelin star restaurant can have such an approachable and affordable menu - while still delivering world class food and service. Lunch menu is the perfect size. It's also plenty diverse. The vegetable and seafood plates were our favorite - white asparagus, grouper skewer are out of this world. The bread with soft chorizo was also exceptional. The service is very good. Attentive, helpful and friendly servers. The vibe inside the restaurant is comfortable; it was not particularly cozy. After we finished eating we felt ready to go. Perhaps for dinner service and wine it's easier to melt into your seats and pass a couple of hours. All in all a wonderful meal. Thank you Malagon!
I finally came back here after a year before they received a Michelin star and the food does not disappoint. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and the ambiance is always inviting. We brought in some of our own wines and they kindly poured it for us course by course. We enjoyed some light meats and cheeses, then some perfectly cooked duck and beef roast that was fork tender. And to end it on a sweet note, we had the infamous basque cheesecake which was perfect. It was a great time with friends, food and wine.
Tried Malagon for lunch and wow! It's a small little place, be prepared to be on close proximity to everyone. The vibe is perfect though. Our service was phenomenal, they were great at helping us understand the menu and recommended some things for us. The food...just wow. Easily some of the best food I've had in a long time. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The mushrooms were a standout. The skirt steak is also fantastic. Tbh I could have stayed and ordered a few more plates (not pictured was the bread with goat cheese we got that was also a favorite), but I'm glad I didn't stuff myself. They have such a variety of menu it's perfect for repeat visits to try different things each time. I cannot recommend enough.
I have wanted to try this spot since visiting their sister restaurant Chez Nous- I have heard amazing things from friends and finally had a night off to stop in. It is extremely small which I was not expecting but the noise level was fine. My party was shocked when they said they didn't serve liquor which was fine for me but definitely something you should be aware of. I wasn't too impressed with the wine service- takes a while to get drinks and they are poured from carafes into preset glasses. They don't have red or white glasses, nor do they have flutes for bubbles which is shocking to me but not a huge deal. Food comes out as it is prepared- we started with the goat cheese bread and fried rabbit. The rabbit is insanely delicious- tastes like chick fil a nuggets if they were taken up 10000 notches. Amazing, crispy, battered to perfection. Next we had the braised beef cheeks and tuna carpaccio. Beef cheeks were tender and melted in our mouth. The carpaccio was fresh and had the flavor of oil, lemon and capers. Next was the chicken and patatas bravas- I have never had potatoes this good... usually I find this dish bland and unexciting but they did it so right. I couldn't get enough. The skin on the chicken was blackened and so flavorful as well. Food was great, ambience was nice only complaint is there is only one restroom and it's cramped. Service was okay, could use improvements but not horrible. Will be back to try more!
Our nephew came to visit this week and he's a big time fan of Michelin star restaurants, so we decided to take him to Malagon. Now, I don't go to Michelin star restaurants very often...so when I do, I kinda expect it to be a unique, special experience with outstanding food. I really can't say Malagon fits that description. Let me expound by breaking it down by category: Ambiance - I really liked the atmosphere. It's not stuffy at all. It's small inside and I'll describe it as somewhat laid back. For example, we had a couple guys at the table right next to us (I'm talking ~1 ft away) wearing shorts, flip flops and ball caps...and they didn't stick out as being underdressed. That's fine with me. I really don't care...it's just not what I expect at a Michelin star restaurant. Only negatives with respect to atmosphere were: 1) it's very loud in there (lots of hard surfaces that reflect every sound) and 2) the seating was uncomfortable (I ended up seated on a hard wooden bench that was hard to take after sitting there for an hour +). Bottom line: I'd give atmosphere 3 stars. Service - The waitress we had (coupled with a trainee who was assisting/observing) was friendly and helpful. My girlfriend asked for a recommendation on wine (indicated she generally likes New Zealand Sauvignon blancs) and the waitress recommended what ended up being one that was carbonated...which my girlfriend didn't like. It was fine, though...she drank it and switched over to an Albariño next, which she preferred. I will say, however, that the waitress didn't come by often enough. We found several times where we wanted something and we couldn't find her to flag her down. Bottom line: I'd give the service 3 stars. Food (which is the most important part, imho): I'll break it down by what we ordered: - Marinated olives - 4 stars. Simple, but delicious - Bread & olive oil - 3 stars. Bread was good, not great. - Prosciutto wrapped figs with Marcona almonds - 3 stars. These came out cold...which again, was fine. I just prefer them warm. - White asparagus with anchovies - 4 stars. Another cold dish. The asparagus had been cooked to the point where it was basically mush. However, when combined with the anchovies and a creamy substance that I thought was some kind of soft cheese, it was a delicious bite. That said, it still wasn't "OMG delicious!". - Potato & pork "bomb" - 4 stars. This was a unique dish that I highly recommend you try if you come here. Was coated in a crispy outer shell. Kinda "one note"though. - Fried rabbit - 3 stars. Just tasted like breaded fried meat. - Grouper skewers - 3 stars. The fish was tasty, although I can't say I was a huge fan of the seasoning. - Crab rice with squid ink - 3 stars. It was just ok. - Grilled pork skirt - 3.5 stars. I struggled with this one. On the one hand, the flavor was outstanding. Probably the best tasting bites I had in the whole meal. Too much fat & gristle, though. - Cheesecake - 5 stars. Honestly, this was probably everyone's favorite part of the whole meal. More custard-like than tart. - Price / value -- 4 stars. I will say that all things considered, the dishes were all fairly priced. In summary, this was a good, not great meal. If I could give it a fractional rating, I'd probably give it a 3.8 star rating. Yelp doesn't provide that feature though, so I'll go with 4 stars overall.
We've enjoyed dinner at Malagón several times, but this was our first time trying lunch--and what a pleasant surprise! The restaurant was quiet, which made for a relaxed experience, and we hadn't even realized they were open for lunch. We grabbed a sunny corner table near the wine cabinets, which gave us a cozy spot with lots of natural light. From the appetizer and small plates menu, we shared tuna carpaccio, zorza, octopus, and maja with Marcona almonds--every dish was absolutely delicious. Our server, Christian, was attentive and accommodating, even making sure I could get an iced cappuccino just the way I like it. Date lunch at Malagon is definitely a must to repeat again in my book!
I love exploring my own city, and Malagon is where I ventured today. I already expected the best because it's the sister restaurant to my favorite spot, Chez Nous. I haven't been to Spain yet, but this experience felt like one of those quaint places in Madrid. The food was amazing, the attention to detail was great, and it was plated so beautifully. The wine was my favorite experience. Our server was very helpful on making sure we order enough for for the four of us. This Michelin star restaurant really impressed me and I can't wait to go back. Our
I was so pleased by the food they put in front of me. Delicious savory options focused on Spain, northern Spain if I judged/read correctly. The basque cheese cake was particularly scrumptious. Minding your allergies, point to something random and be surprised. 7/10 says it's delish.
A fine tapas restaurant, but shocked this has a Michelin star. The staff was impertinent and felt overwhelmed, couldn't even describe their favorite choices when asked for recommendations. Even found a spelling error on the menu. Didn't seem up to a star standard.

The dining experience at Malagon was like being in Basque Country again. Fabulous energetic atmosphere. Cameron, our waitress, was engaging, helpful and congenial. The bottle of txakoli wine was delicious. All the apps and entrees were delicious especially beef cheeks. Cheesecake was amazing. We will be back again. read more

I can easily and confidently rate this place a 5! I only have positive things to say about my experience. To start, the restaurant itself is tucked away right off king. It is very small and cozy inside and we sat at the bar! The lights are dimmed and there are tons of wine bottle and other market items just made the place feel comfortable. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Every single dish we got was insane. We started with an amazing orange wine which I can rave about for hours. Some must order items: La bomba Marinated lamb w/ and order of bread for dipping! Although I found some items to be slightly pricey, after having eaten there the price is more than justified for the amazing quality. Truly an amazing dining experience!! A must go place! read more

I saw some reviews stating this was not Spanish food and I beg to differ. I mean certainly, it's not in SPAIN - but it is obviously spanish inspired and damn good! We went for a late lunch and sat at the bar. The space is small and lovely. Sitting at the bar, we had the best service. We ate: Gilda - I adore Gilda and this did not disappoint. I could have eaten 50 more. Olives - I always, every time, order olives to start and these were good. Mojama con almendras marcona - this was so different and yummy. It's cured tuna belly with Marcona almonds. A wonderful dish and great with their bread. Calamar con mercilla - this was a star - the squid and chickpeas were a great combination. Jamon Iberico - this was also a star - something to only get imported. We had some kind of lamb meatball too - for me, it was overseasoned and too salty, but my husband loved it! With all this fabulous food, I had a wonderful Rose - the server helped me pick it, but I can't remember the name. I also bought imported sherry vinegar from their little shop. Overall a wonderful tapas lunch. People who complained about the portion sizes should google the definition of tapas! read more
This place was small but the food was great, we had reservations and we heard those that didn't was well over an hour wait. We were sat within 5 minutes and immediately offered water and asked if we wanted something else to drink. We ordered wine and ordered several tapas for the evening. It did feel like it was loud inside with tables sitting very close to each other, but was not uncomfortably loud. We got the bomba, octopus (pulpo), patatas brava, and Sobrasada con queso. Everything was truly great with the exception of the Sobrasada, we felt like it was tasteless and wouldn't get it again. We would come back and like to try other tapas as there are many, too many for 1 visit. read more

I'm still in shock. For the most part, all was good - especially the crab rice! What crushed all the positives was the Paella of the day at MP - Ours was chicken that was fairly dry. The bill came and I was stunned to see $90 for the paella. Our party walked out and I had to go back in to inquire if there was a mistake. No, no mistake, it was actually $90! That price is completely unwarranted and you should be ashamed! read more

Argh! This is a hard review to write as we really wanted to love Malagon. We saved it for our last dinner in Charleston and honestly I found it pretty disappointing. The restaurant is on the smaller side and the decor is pretty nice, it's quite dark and rustic. We reserved a place at the bar thinking it would be a fun place to sit, but it ended up being us sat on stools at a countertop looking at lots of bottles of wine and no action. Also the stools were backless which didn't make for the most comfortable dining experience. Our server was quite sweet, but the service was pretty minimal. They do have a wide range of Spanish (only Spanish!) wine which were price in the $50-$150 range I believe, but they only had one beer on offer and a small selection of bottled sodas which I though was poor. We ordered our tapas all at once and they arrived all at once, which was fine but did make our dinner feel quite rushed which wasn't what we wanted. Food prices are on the expensive side. What we ordered: Bread, $8 for TWO slices, yes it was good bread but seriously what a ripoff/ price gouge. You can't eat tapas without bread, and they didn't offer us any extra once we had eaten our two slices. Lomo, this was quite a generous portion, it was good. Marinated Lamb, salty AF. I like lamb and I like salt but this was not great. 'You can dip your (overpriced) bread in the oil' our server said, hmm I did and it wasn't pleasant. La Bomba. Basically an oversized and overpriced croquette. It was just okay. Octopus. The octopus was tender, it came with one new potato split in pieces. This was a small portion and while it was okay it didn't taste particularly Spanish, the smoked paprika was barely there. Yeah, so that was our Malagon experience - overpriced small portions that didn't hit the spot for me and we left feeling hungry. read more
Ambience 5/5, service 5/5, food 5/5. My new favorite restaurant in Charleston! Everything was so perfect and so delicious. The vibe was so European and I didn't even feel like I was in Charleston. The food was delicious and great portion sizes for a tapas place. And the selection was perfect. Our server was excellent and recommended the squid calamari and lamb which were both outstanding. The patatas bravas were delicious and the famous bomba was so good we ordered it twice! Will definitely be back. read more

Okay wow I was blown away by this quaint tapas restaurant!!! I felt like I was transported to Spain the moment I walked through the door. The decor and ambiance were sooo charming and they even sell goods important from Spain to take home and make/eat yourself!! Service was wonderful and we felt well attended to. The sourdough bread with olive oil was chewy, flavorful, and well portioned. Next we had the pork stuffed potato bomb, which was packed with flavor. The octopus was tasty and well done. The tuna was perfectly seared and paired well with onions. The star of the show was the lamb with fig and almond paste. I literally had a dream about it last night. My dad was just as impressed as I was and we even had enough to take home! read more

Made reservations about a month in advance for this place, which I highly recommend since it's a small restaurant I LOVE the octopus. It was perfectly cooked, seasoned and didn't have a rubber texture. Everything else was good too. They even gave pine nuts which were yummy read more

I came here for dinner on a Saturday evening. I made a reservation the day before via Resy and 5:00pm was the only time available. I was told the food was delicious and they are a popular spot, so reservations are a must! We were seated in the outdoor private, which felt secluded and quiet. We were on a busy street, but we were so far from the road that I forgot that a busy street was nearby. The server was knowledgeable and accommodating. For starters, I had the Spring Salad with asparagus, snowpeas and dressing. I wasn't a huge fan. For our tapas, we ordered the Marinated Lamb, La Bomba, and the Potatoes. The tapas were good. The Marinated Lamb was my favorite. It was melt-in-your-mouth type meat and I loved that. The LaBomba was pretty filling. The Potatoes came w/ aioli sauce and spicy salsa. You get a small serving of each, so I recommend ordering a lot of food. Frankly, I don't think I ordered enough! For parking, I recommend the nearby Hyatt parking deck. It's not expensive ($8 for 2 hours) and there's ample spots available. We didn't find any street parking available. read more

This was my first time in Charleston and our group hadn't put much thought into dinner. Tapas sounded like a good idea so our group headed out. Malagón had a quite extensive menu which accommodated the group. The prices varied a bit, so you can easily end up with an expensive bill. We were able to balance indulging in a few unique things and some more affordable items. It's a neat little space suitable for small groups or intimate dining. read more

Since moving down to Charleston, I have been to Malagon probably about 5 times already. Full disclosure, I've only been living here for 2 weeks! First time I came to Malagon, I was with a friend who has been living here in Charleston for over 6 years and was baffled at how she was just experiencing this amazing restaurant for the first time due to my arrival. But I myself, wasn't ready nor prepared for this food experience or 5+ star service that was given. From the moment I walked into the restaurant , I was greeted by this charming, charismatic, kind, yet handsome man with a very distinctive French warm accent. I told him I was a party of two and told him I didn't mind dining at the bar. The feel of the restaurant was small and intimate but inviting. The waiters and waitresses dress in unison and the flow of the restaurant was energetic. My waitress "Emma" greeted me in a timely manner, because as a New Yorker(I) myself can be impatient but have to remember to be patient and just enjoy the experience. She was so sweet and kind with her southern draw was very endearing. As I waited for my friend, enjoyed the atmosphere and ate some sourdough bread with olive oil. You can never go wrong with that combination. Once my friend arrived, it was on! I ordered so much that I can't even begin to go through each dish. And because it's Spanish tapas, it's meant to share and be shared that you end up ordering everything. And when I say you won't be disappointed, you will not be. Chef Juan who is Colombian, who has truly done something special At Malagon left me coming back for more! Thank you for creating such an amazing menu and to your team for executing your vision throughly. Mid way through the every bite, my friend and I was checked in on by another handsome man with blonde hair in a slick back man ponytail who was also just as kind and gracious as the first Gentleman. Thank you for the amazing hospitality again. Last but MOST Importantly ! DO.YOURSELF.A SERVICE.AND.GET.THE CHEESSECAKE! I tried to take a piece back to NYC for my mom(it made it from CHS TSA to my gate in CHS). read more

I love tapas and this place did not disappoint. We started with bread and olives. I could make a meal just off the fresh sourdough bread alone. Glad I didn't stop there though we were off to a great start. Next we had the crispy pork belly. These bite sized cubes had the perfect layer of fat over the meat making them perfectly moist and the seasoning I can't even describe except maybe cumin!? Yummmm! But the main reason I came was for the Spanish tortilla. Ultimate comfort food! It's a delightful potato and onion omelet that just satisfies as comfort food should. We also got the churros. They were AMAZING! And best of all, our server, Johanne, was attentive and had great suggestions. Can't wait to go back and try some other things. read more
Malagón, Mercado y Tapería in Charleston was decent. Happy I tried but not keen to go back. Pictured first is La Bomba De La Barceloneta which was the Pork stuffed mash potato "bomb" w/ tomato & alioli. It was tasty and we split 4 ways. The seafood paella also pictured was good and filled 3 people. I didn't love the Tortilla Española but others at table were into it. Did give free corn nuts which was a new food for me but was salty and like an Unpopped kernel. Olives were kind of expensive but tasty. My cider was not great so would also skip the cider. Warm atmosphere and friendly staff. We sat outside and there were heaters which helped reduce the cold. Staff were nice. #bergerknowsbest read more

Malagón is incredible and a must-dine if you're looking for a small, hidden gem in Charleston! It's a small restaurant but the patio is really nice to sit at and enjoy on a mild summer evening. Malagón is a market and tapería with offerings focus exclusively on Spanish cuisine. The market offers canned seafood, Spanish wine, Spanish cheese, charcuterie, and other Spanish gourmet items. The tapería menu has both regional Spanish small and large plates Must order at the tapería: Iberian Ham (so incredibly tender with a sweet and smoky flavor) Asparagus with Anchovies Octopus Mushrooms Squash Blossoms (in the summer) Bread Malagón is the sister restaurant of Chez Nous, which is a block and a half away -- they are an amazing and quaint restaurant that features delicious food and wine from Southern France, Northern Italy, and Northern Spain. Malagón is located in the neighborhood of Cannonborough in Charleston, SC You can book a table through Resy read more

Small intimate Tapas restaurant just off of King Street. Great ambiance for a romantic meal with a dim setting and cute European vibe. If you have minimal familiarity with Tapas it can be a bit overwhelming, luckily the waiter we had was knowledgable about the menu, patient, and very helpful in making recommendations when we had questions and were choosing between items. The dishes came out quickly and filled up our table which gave us plenty of options of food to try and explore all flavors. We ordered the following: - Fuet (dry cured pork sausage spiced with nutmeg--recommended by the waiter) very good starter! - Olivas mixtas--mixed olives - Bread--house made sourdough with Spanish olive oil--Excellent! - Gambas a la plancha--Grilled Shrimp with sea salt. They were smoky and salty crunchy char outside - Padròns--roasted peppers with sea salt--salty, smoky. Mild heat, a surprisingly large portion relative to the other dishes - Tortilla española--potato and onion omelet with aioli--savory, rich flavor, the chive cream was a nice touch - Carrilleras de ternera al vino Tinto--red wine braised beef cheeks--charred crunchy outside tender juicy inside. Savory and so flavorful! Favorite of the night. This was an experience meal and we would recommend it if you are looking for a meal that will be at least a two hour event. The staff was excellent, the vibe is great for a date, getting some friends together, or doing something a little different that of course incorporates delicious food. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Went to lunch with my wife (Wednesday) and was excited because when we walked in you were greeted by a deli case of Spanish goodies. The side wall filled with different Spanish wines and Spanish ingredients. The decor was very homey from the light fixtures to watch the service staff was wearing. We started off our lunch with the wrinkle potatoes warm bean salad and bread everything complemented each each other very well. We also had the La Bamba, which was a fried mashed potato bowl with ground pork and a spicy tomato sauce, as well as their secreto which was a perfectly cooked pork steak. Everything tasted amazing our server Christian was very helpful and guided us through our lunch. Highly recommend this place. read more

Had a delicious meal at Malagan! We came when it was pretty close to their closing time, and the employees were super accommodating. It is a super cute atmosphere and very quaint. Our waitress Whitney was super helpful and friendly. We ordered a bottle of wine that was delicious and shared some food. My favorite was the chorizo and goat cheese toast (not pictured) and the octopus. Next time I'm back in Charleston I would definitely come back! read more
