"Really wonderful, authentic experience! The food was extremely fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Despite the language barrier, the waitress was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy genuine Spanish hospitality and cuisine"

"Unfortunately we arrived to the restaurant at a very busy period (even it was off-season), and also they forgot our food I guess, so we were waiting for our meal more than 1 hour. Otherwise, I can recommend the place; food was delicious and really Andalusian! Don't go to the big cities if you want to try real local food, choose these smaller ones instead! Much cheaper and much better!"

"Tapas alfresco! Service of a neighborhood bar. Great tapas! I recomemend the garlic snails, but rhe olives, meatballs, spanish frittata were all excellent choices. Not completely free, I do not think we drank enough! Not easy to get to, limited parking, steep hills, try to park above and walk (There is a public park above with parking)"

"Great little tapas bar / restaurant in Benalmadena Pueblo. Situated just off the main street on the way down the hill and the church spa is one of the great little stops in Benalmadena Pueblo. With a really extensive menu and some really good meals such as cariada ( pigs Cheeks) Super tasty one of the favourites and this one is cooked really nice also tried the Rosada on the hot plate, both plates were served with fritters chips and some salad. The staff were really helpful they were very attentive and gave us some really good service as the seats were out on the terrace near the roadside where you could watch the world go bye. The range of tapas inside were really extensive and very nice. Overall very good service very nice food may be a little expensive but it’s in the Pueblo and obviously the tourists go there quite a lot."

"Atmosphere: Typical Spanish Bar. If you like places more quiet this is not for you Food: Croquettes de pollo were ok but not great Campero de pollo was good so were the Boquerones al vinagre. Salpicon de Marisco was good as well. One of the best i had in Andalucia. Huebos rotos con jamon was good as well. Service: Mostly fast and friendly"

"This is the best restaurant during our stay in Costa del Sol. Food was deli, good size portions, service was amazing and very affordable. Our server Tomas was very nice, funny and took great care of us. We ordered the mushrooms croquettes, the Pincho Moron (chicken skeewer), tosta de carne mecha, berenjenas and a flan. All food was amazing. We had a wonderful time. Service was the best. I strongly recomend it. There is a parking very close in the morador, like 5 min walking distance."
