Anna, the bartender at Claddagh Irish Pub in Marbella, turned me on to this new Spanish restaurant…read morejust around the corner. She told me that they had good, authentic Andalucian cuisine, excellent wines, and reasonable prices and she was absolutely right! There was what I would call a "Mariachi" group on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant strumming four guitars and singing familiar songs I have heard many times in Mexican restaurants in California and Texas. I was told that they are called "Tunos" in Spain, but these four gentlemen were much more talented than any Mariachi group I have ever heard. The guitars and voices were melodically synchronized, rendering four part harmonies unrivaled by some of the best barber shop quartets I have heard. They performed non-stop from 9:30pm until nearly 11:30pm when I finally left for my room and they were superb. The waiter spoke English reasonably well, suggesting wines, starters, and a main course. Nothing I ordered was on the menu. He first brought me a glass of Tempranillo, a dark, robust Spanish red wine with hints of oak along with a "tortilla". Not the Mexican variety tortilla we expect in stateside restaurants and supermarkets, a tortilla in Spain is an omelette made with eggs and potatoes, resembling a very thick piece of quiche the size of a slice of pie. The tortilla de patatas (€2.50), two slices actually, were light yet savory and delicious. Anna had recommended the Gambas al Pil Pil (€9), an Andalucian specialty with prawns baked in a sauce of olive oil, garlic, and chili peppers accompanied by fresh bread for dipping. The ceramic dish came to me still bubbling with 12 small shrimp, slices of garlic, and a few diced red chili peppers. The fresh sliced baguette easily soaked up the decadent garlic infused oil, raising my cholesterol level by several hundred points. I have to admit that this was one of the best dishes I have had in quite a while. The service was impeccable, attentive and friendly, always there when needed but not suffocating. I had no idea how much the check would be when it arrived and when it did, I was shocked! Just €16.10 (less than $18) for three glasses of wonderful wine, s starter and a main course, while enjoying excellent, traditional Spanish melodies - what more could I ask for? Unfortunately, my wife was unable to accompany me on this trip, but even still, this was one of the most enjoyable, affordable dining experiences I have had in quite a while and I will return before leaving Marbella ... sorry honey! I always hesitate before giving the maximum score to any establishment, but I honestly could not find a fault to deduct even a single "bomb", hence ...

Maquila is a perfect place to chill when it is in between meals and you just want a snack!…read more Nice selection of crafted beers from local breweries on taps. We tried: Happy Otter Summer Ale In Yer Face Small plate of food to share. You can actually pick the size and they also have daily specials on their chalkboard. (Menu in English available and bartender was nice enough to help us with their daily specials which was in Spanish only) We tried: Bravas Maquila - (Euro 4) Spicy Potatoes with Garlic Mayonnaise Navajas Gallegas a La Mantequilla - (Euro 4.8) Razor Clams I did understand **Chris' Ghost Scorpion Salsa Extrapicante**. So make sure you ask them for their extra spicy hot sauce to go with your food! Good looking bartenders and super friendly service. Must sit at the bar.

We came to Maquila because most people said they had the only other craft beer in town besides Hops…read more& Dreams, but we found more than just beer. We also found beer. Such good beer. The long and short of it: 1. Beer. Maquila specializes in some of the only craft beer in Seville (see Hops & Dreams for further options) and they've got plenty of it. They seemed to center around the sweeter beers, hefes and saisons, but they seemed to change regularly so this might have just been at the time we were there. Still I got an IPA and a porter and couldn't have been happier. Then I had another IPA and was happier. 2. Food. Maquila also offered a pretty diverse menu if you're there for dinner. The mussels really stood out. Tossed in Chinese 5 spice they were succulent and delicious, so much so that my vegetarian fiance devoured most of the plate (seafood was partially back on the menu). Pair that with some tasty croquettes and chicken wings over noodles (why the hell not) and we had an odd and tasty pre-dinner. 3. Atmosphere. Maquila feels like a local bar in a really friendly city. It feels that way because that's pretty much what it is, but the room was bright and warm, the staff was friendly, there ample room and bar seating and it didn't seem overly loud even though it was full. A nice place to grab a drink. 4. Price. Converting to the Euro was the wrong way to go currency wise at this time (for some reason they wouldn't take Moroccan Dirham), but 3 appetizers and 4 beers came out to just over $40 USD. I would have taken that even had everything not been as good as it was. And it was. 5. Location. On the edge of the Hercules de Alameda, there are plenty of other bars and restaurants in the area if you're feeling like a more substantial dinner or a glass of wine/cocktail. There was pretty much nothing wrong with Maquila, as solid a spot as you'll find in Seville if you're looking for a good beer. Given the lack of it around the city, it becomes a must visit when you get tired of the same 3 drinks. We'll be back on our next trip for muscles and beer round 2. Overall Grade: A

Also great flavors (and much less salty than the other places we've visited). We tried several dishes, and the unanimous favorites were: -razor clams.

Also had a great combination of flavors Service was friendly. They spoke English well enough.

By the end of our meal, I wished we had more room in our stomach to try more dishes. The deep fried items were in a very tasty batter that I never had before. Everything about the red tuna was wonderful. I loved the avocado cannelloni. The squid ink pasta was delicious and the ink didn't taste bitter or anything. The dessert was very well balanced and wasn't overly sweet. The prices here were great and affordable. If a restaurant like this was in the US, the dishes hands down would be at least $10+. The service here was great. The staff was very attentive and were patient. They took the time to explain what was on the menu in English for us (menus are only in Spanish). If you decide to come here, you'll want to make a reservation online because it is popular. At the end of our meal, they treated us to a shot of limoncello. If this wasn't our last meal in Seville, we would definitely return to try other dishes on the menu!
