All of this proved true and resulted in not one but two evenings to enable enjoying more of the menu! Thr tapas were so amazingly delicious and flavorful, sensory rich , fresh, creatively presented, savory and satisfying! The flamingo chorizo was fun and tasty, the fried eggplant and molasses was so so good! Thr goat cheese with walnuts and jam, creamy and nutty like some sort of dessert. A pitcher of Sangria was had the deck second visit after enjoying a glass the first time and the pitcher gave 4 plus glasses of tasting and fresh red wine and fruit. flavor that is a local specialty. The white sardines are so light and wonderful, not as rich as the ones in the US. The ambience is very charming, authentic and feels very local with many Spaniards dining here and the staff are all friendly, helpful and patient ! Service was overall excellent! The seating is close and intimate inside and outside a bit more open and cafe like. The facilities an bathroom are all clean and well kept despite the obvious age of the bldg. It's on a corner across from a music club called Fitzgerald's and they had Irish music for St Patrick's Day! Both dining experiences were excellent and it's the most tapas I've ever ordered and been able to eat at a single meal time ever, because it was so damn good! The food taste is Michelin level but has a neighborhood charm and locals feel to it! A must do for anyone in Nerja or traveling through Andulusia!

We ordered glasses of house red and rose wine (E2.50) which was pleasant. The tapa that came next, some kind of cold beef with pine nuts or something was outstanding, but the waitress could not put a name to it, so neither we nor you can order it again. We shared a rustic salad, which was excellent for about E8. Bread was an extra E1.1 each, a delicious but small crusty roll. For mains, my wife tried the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, excellent at about E18. I had the pork belly with rice noodles which was tough, about E16. We may or may not have been offered cava after the meal, but I couldn't understand the waiter (my Spanish is minimal) and asked for the bill. Overall, a good meal, but not a good value.

Time, about 3:30PM. Despite a posted full menu and written one we were handed we were told the kitchen was closed and we could only order tapas. Upon ordering tapas we were told only some were available. Delivery of said tapas was sporadic with time between them, all going to the wrong people and some not arriving at all. Some of them were quite odd with sausages looking like they were purchased at a seconds mill outlet in Milwaukee, Pork in tomato sauce that gave hours of indigestion and Russian salad which seems to be overgarliced potato salad. My thought, if you must go, make sure the kitchen is open. However, there are many similar places nearby that might fit the bill too.

This is one of those COMPLETELY surprising dining experiences that simply blows you away…read more  We were out for a walk in the evening and saw the sign directing you to Mo's. Deciding to walk by and just check out what we thought would once again be the typical tourist trap bar with uninspiring tapas that seem far too plentiful in this region.  Okay. We were wrong. And I might add...we were both VERY HAPPY to be wrong! I am vegan and my husband is pesca-vegetarian or pescatarian so it's hard to find menus we can work with. We have lived in Valencia Spain part-time the last two years and we do find it's getting easier to eat out but most of the time I just cook at home. You never know what you will encounter when you seek out a vegan or vegetarian menu! Some will work with you. Some won't.  But... No problems at Mo Gastrotapas!! They will work with you.  Comfy and nicely decorated dining area. Outside seating is available.  The food was simply INCREDIBLE, presentation was spot on. We are talking 5-stars type here!!! But the best part was the staff. The men that served us treated us like we were VIP guests. They were so friendly, fun, attentive and both of their smiles lasted the entire time we were there. What an exceptional meal out, all the way around.  My husband had a salad with large shrimps and roasted veggies. I had a mixed salad with the most tasty selection of bell peppers and for my main, a veggie crepe (shared with hubby) which is listed as the vegetarian 'surprise'. The chef will work with you so simply ask for changes to fit your dietary needs.  They gave us an appetizer of a tomato paste with anchovy and finished the meal with a dessert wine with whipped creme. Yes my hubby got to indulge in the items I do not eat.  The prices were UNBELIEVABLE! We expected the meal to be much more for the quality you receive.  Luckily we are in Nerja for one week so we get a chance to go to Mo Gastrotapas once again...or twice again, if I'm lucky!! Note hours: Closed on Tuesdays (I know, bummer as you can't eat here 7 days in a row!!) and on other days they serve lunch from 13:00 to 16:00 then dinner from 19:00 to 23:00.
