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.

We got: Pulpo en salpicon - More like a salad, with diced tomatoes and onions, and we only found like 2 pieces of octopus in the entire dish. Although ignoring the fact that we signed up for octopus, I liked the flavors and found it quite refreshing. Sardines - Good, fairly standard. Bacalao (cod) al pil pil - This came highly recommended by the friendly local at the neighboring table. It's a pretty large dish, coming with two sizeable pieces of cod. I wasn't a huge fan of the dish, but not because of the execution, but because it's not to my palette. But I could find no fault with the dish - this was perhaps one of the most tender cods I've ever had and served as an excellent vessel for the pil pil sauce. Pil pil sauce turned out to be more of a creamier (and salty) white sauce, and I don't tend to like those sauces - but if you do, this may be your jam. All in all, nothing we had that I found astounding but not a bad meal. Prices did seem higher than in other cities (€3 for an oyster) but not sure if that's Malaga or this restaurant. Note: they offer free profiteroles at the end, though you may have to ask for them if they don't give them to you.

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.

The place is actually very nice on the inside with barrels of liquor and old bullfighting posters. I was seated upstairs and tended to by a waiter with glasses who took me to my table threw the menu down and without saying a word walked away. Right off the back he had a bad attitude and didn't explain that you need to scan the QR code to see the food menu. I don't know if he heard me speaking English. I had never seen this guy before entering this restaurant. After a long while he returned to my table and asked if I would like something to drink. After reviewing the drink menu I asked if they carry sherry (Jerez). There was no sherry listed on the menu? This set him off and he went on a rant about how I need to be more specific because there is various sherries. Yes, I am very familiar with the various types of sherry but made a simple statement that none are listed on the drink menu!?! I'm thinking, the hell with the sherry and his atitude just bring me a glass of verdejoI never raised my voice or anything, but he did, as if I'm a problem. He takes his time returning to my table to take my order, but finally does. Okay, at this point I'm noticing everyone around me that came after me was being served their food!?! I don't know if he purposely put in my order late? Nothing I ordered needed to be cooked. I ordered cheese, bread, olives, and jamon. After waiting long while, I flag him down to see if there is some sort of problem in the kitchen. He answers me with a bad attitude and walked away still talking in this huge dining area where everyone is talking. There was no way I was going to be able to hear what he was saying as he answered walking away. Okay, once again I am waiting and now I am starting to become a little angry because obviously he has a problem with me. So once again I flag him down and let him know that he is walking away from me as he answers my questions therefore I cannot understand anything he is saying. Well this time he said that locals talk fast which is why I can't understand him! Little did he know that I am very fluent in Spanish and have never had a problem understanding anyone speaking to me in Spanish!?! At this point, I started to see red and began to raise my voice and create a seen because he insulted me and blamed me for not understanding him. This person (OP. Isidro) should not be working in any restaurant insulting people he has never met before. At this point, I just wanted the bill to pay and leave. As a result, I cannot recommend anyone stopping by this place and having the same experience that I had.

First, the restaurant is small from the outside. Seriously, you need to use a gps to find the entrance but once you do and walk inside you'll be treated to a an interior that is welcoming and comfortable. The food is great, from the patata bravas, the goat cheese salad and salmon, all dishes are delicious. Haven't had a bad dish at all. Wine selection is fairly comprehensive but hey, this is Spain after all so that's expected. Try any of the local Malaga wines and you won't be disappointed. Service is great and friendly. Carolina is an awesome server so definitely ask for her when you go by, though all the servers are wonderful so you'll get great service regardless. Can't recommend this place enough. If you're in Malaga you should definitely be outside the door at 7p when they open!
