When I am in Estepona, a few months out of the year, this is my favorite restaurant and I eat here…read moremultiple times a week. First, you will definitely need a reservation. It is always busy. There is seating in the "patio" with a nice man made fireplace in cooler months. There is the main area with the bar and a long table. And there is the option to sit on the 'terrace,' which is a pedestrian street. Weather cooperating, we love to sit on the terrace and people watch. All areas are extremely clean and cheerful. Service is friendly and efficient without being pesty. When a table is reserved, it is yours from your reservation time to the remainder of the evening. They never try to hustle you along so that others (without a reservation) might be seated. American restaurants could learn from this. The menu has about 30 different tapas offerings as well as pinchos, tostas, and entrees. There is something for every appetite. There is always one or two tapas of the day, which change. I am not a seafood eater, so I am thankful that at least half the items offered are not from the sea. My boyfriend loves seafood, so there is plenty to satisfy his tastes, too. We really like to chose 2 to 3 tapas each and that is very filling. My favorites are "taco de manzana" and the chicken burrito, oh, and the mini lamb hamburgers! I guess I really don't have just one favorite! Everything is very fresh and tasty. Most of the tapas are 2€ and 3€. The tostas are 8€ and very filling. My favorite is tosta queso de cabra. Among larger items, my boyfriend really likes the shrimp brick. They will also accommodate an appetite and make it larger or smaller. I normally drink sparkling water or tea. My boyfriend is the wine drinker. They have an extensive wine offering and at least once a month will have a special event with wine pairings or a wine class. They have a full time sommelier who organizes these events. There is also a full bar. I will usually have an after dinner drink. The pours are generous! Our bill for the evening (2 people) is usually 20€-25€ for 6 tapas, a wine (or two), water and an after dinner drink. Highly recommended!

We ordered both from the broad menu and from the tapas case and have been here 3/5 evenings! Everything is freshly prepared. My boyfriend has had a seafood soup and the entrecôte from the menu. He thought the seafood soup was one of the best he has had. I think we have had 9 or 10 different tapas. My favorite is the lamb skewers over French fries. Each has been unique and tasty. I think the most expensive was 3,70€ with most priced at 2,60€ or so. The weather has been a bit chilly, so we have sat inside rather than outside. It is very pleasant with upbeat music and stools. The restrooms are super clean. Service is absolutely excellent; friendly and efficient. We were never rushed and tapas would appear one after another instead of all at once. We feel they are genuinely happy you are here. The check has been between 18€ and 26€ for 6 tapas, 2x 0,0 beer and a sparkling water. There has not been a single time we have had to wait for a table. It is as of yet, undiscovered! Our new favorite tapas restaurant in Estepona and now among the "must" visit restaurants!

Chiringuito was referred by a Spanish-speaking Moroccan restaurant owner after walking around a…read moreplaza at midnight and asking her about whether paella was on the menu. She gave me crystal clear directions on how to come here for their Seafood-only Paella instead. Talk about al fresco and literally on the beach dining. Stars almost aligned at this super popular spot. These folks know how to keep a crowd. We chose beach-dining and at 11:30pm, the energy said, "keep going". I'm not even sure if Sangria is even a Spanish thing anymore- because the last 3 (pitchers and single glass) we've had were beyond weak and tasted like juice. Our Pata de Pulpo was indeed an octopus leg and that was turn-off as the ENTIRE grilled tentacle laid on lettuce. Yes, it had good flavor- but we didn't like the chewiness. Grilled Sardines had great, garlicky flavor though. The star of the show was a heaping pan of Seafood-Paella. Except at first sight, hubs and I looked like deer in headlights because it was super juicy (and not in a good way) with a heavy tomato sauce base. Our server knew exactly what we wanted and asked if we wanted it 'dry'. Of course. The saffron, seafood broth and the seafood itself, instantly gave the paella a nice taste overall. Service was very friendly. And if for nothing else, take advantage of sitting beach-side, enjoy other bites, sandy toes and Chiringuito's energetic vibe.

I knew then this was the place I had been looking for. We sat down and ordered some drinks and food. The food was fantastic and the prices were great. A plate of tapas was 1.20 EU. Drinks were averaging $2.50/glass. Water was a in big water bottle. They had the freshest seafood I've eaten so far. My daughter loved the fried squids - very tender and not too chewy. The olives that came with the drinks were delicious. If we hadn't had dinner already, we would have order a lot more food. I would highly recommend this place.
