We ordered: -porra with quail egg: this was very similar to gazpacho (which I love) so I automatically loved this -anchovies with guacamole: I'm not a big fan of anchovies but my boyfriend is and he really liked this dish -octopus: delicious! -squid with crispy black rice: this was my favorite dish, the squid was so flavorful and went perfectly with the crispy rice -sea bream: also delicious, loved the eggplant and goat cheese sauce that came with it -boar stew: I'm not a big fan of stews, but I can tell that it was cooked well You honestly can't go wrong with any of the tapas. Highly recommend!

I was hesitant to try this place given how busy, popular and hyped it is. I went Sunday afternoon…read morefor lunch and stood at the bar as all of the tables were full. But, two of the fastest, hardest working and efficient bar keeps took great care of me. I had a Tinto de Verona, a burger and patatas bravas. Both were superb. All of the meals and tapas coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. I was very surprised and impressed. I even left the bar keeps a tip for which they seemed quite grateful. While there us a wait, always, I'm glad I took a chance. It was great. And any place that has Tinto de Verona on tap is doing God's work in my opinion.

This restaurant is more about its famous owner than the food.

People come in the hope of sighting this celebrity, crowding the restaurant at all hours and overwhelming its staff. Our server pointed us to a QR code on the cocktail menu so we could look up what's on offer. This menu gave ONLY the names of the dishes on offer, WITHOUT any description of the dish or its sides. Nor did the server have the time to describe them to us. Service was a 2, at best, while the food was a 3. If you're looking for good food and good service, there are plenty of other options in Málaga. If you choose a place to eat on the off chance you will see a movie star, this is the place for you.

Of all the restaurants near the center of Malaga this was the best meal we had (we stayed in and…read morearound for a week). Staff was on point. Very attentive. We ordered the set and the value was immense. Gazpacho, pork medallions and flan or ice cream. Wine recommendation paired well and they have coffee for after meal relaxation. Nothing fell short and they really seem to be well staffed, and care about what they are doing. If ever in Malaga again, we will definitely return.

This restaurant knows what they are doing. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The place is…read moreclean and organized. It is not a great decor but it is inviting. The food is excellent. Croquetas were moist on the inside a perfectly crunchy on the outside. The Jamon iberico and the Manchego cheeses was top notch the wine selection was excellent Yelp Now that I have been yelping for a while, I realize what a cool application this really is. Yelp has become my "go to" site whenever I go to a new city around the world. I've also been able to communicate with yelp friends from around the world whenever I travel to a new city in order to get advice of where to eat and also for business information. Yelp is also a great way to keep track of your past experiences and it has become a digital record of where I have been and how much I enjoyed those locations. Yelp is also really great place to connect with people in your own town to see what is going on and what is fun and which restaurants are new and exciting. Try it, you may very well enjoy becoming a yelper also.

Hands down one of the most unexpectedly best meals we enjoyed in Malaga.

We tried the shredded chicken plantain app, the assorted croquettes, the steak tartare bao, a bison and lamb burger - all delicious! Homemade with care, and attention to detail in spice and flavor profiles. A yes if you can swing a table right away OR if you have to wait a bit for one. Well worth the delights that await!

We sat outside and asked our server for recommendations.

I truly think next year if I will be back and they will get a michelin star!!! and I really wish for them! they won the prize as best tapas in malaga..

Picture in your head what a stereotype tapas place should look like and I'm pretty sure something…read moreclose to this is what most would imagine. I love this place. Service is slightly slow because of the amount of people that they serve at any given time. So yes understandably, you will probably have to flag your waiter/waitress if you want anything after your initial order is taken because it can seem a little chaotic. The place is total old school Andalusia. How about the food? The food is just as authentic as the look of this place, which is always packed. I had the typical tomato salad with fish which is always delicious because the basic ingredients are always so fresh. Tomatoes stand out here because they are soo good. I enjoyed patatas bravas, salpicon, gildas, jamon, olives and croquetas de toro. What better to wash it all down with than a cup of Jerez amontillado and a glass of tinto de verano. Those that have left mediocre reveiws probably don't know what to expect or have no idea what to order, which, will probably end in an unfavorable experience. If you want a genuine experience of Malaga, then this place should be on your list of places to eat.

Overall, we had a great experience at Casa Lola! Everything we ordered was delicious, and we really…read moreenjoyed the tapas. However, the one disappointment was ironically the most expensive dish we ordered: the Langostinos al Pil Pil (€12). We were expecting nice, plump prawns, but what arrived were tiny shrimp. They really should have called the dish "Camaroncitos al Pil Pil" instead of langostinos! Other than that, everything was excellent. Just a heads-up for anyone ordering the langostinos: don't expect large prawns!

Disappointing ....back to the dorada....it was so good I destroyed the fish. Careful w the bones, but savor every 1/4". Excellent. Ensalada mixta also good.
