No Paella here. La Escollera is strictly seafood from what I saw. Because of Escollera's popularity with tourists AND locals alike, it gets busy so have a few things in mind: (1) give your name+last name to the host inside (2) if you can grab a high-top outside, go for it and get a Starter bite while you wait, (3) someone will yell out your last name, then (4) you're in. Attention from all the servers is definitely here and each offered individual tid-bit on what we ordered. Dozen oysters (or "12 pieces") were meaty and juicy with the right amount of oyster liquor. What's more, I know the oysters hubs and I have been getting on the East Coast in the States are good- but these here in Spain's Southern Coast are mind-blowing. Horseradish and mignonette? They're obsolete in these parts. You will get Tabasco as an alternate (for hubs) and some individually-packaged red wine. It did just fine. Prawns were good but the Sardines were excellent with a slightly crunchy-garlicky exterior. The oysters took it a bit over from what we've experienced during our stay. But come to think of it, comparing the quality and straight-from-the-sea catch to the East Coast, they were worth the €54. Skip the juicy-flavored sangria and go for a red or white instead. In essence, it's all about the seafood here.

Best seafood I've ever had!!…read more We arrived mid afternoon and the place was crowded. We put our name on the list but ended up just getting a bar table outside (which has service anyway). We ordered a lot of small plates and everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. While we usually prefer sautéed seafood, the fried squid was exceptional. Don't miss out on this spot! Right by the water, beautiful view.

Great views. The positives stop there. My boyfriend and I…read morewere on the early side for dinner and there was just one other table dining. We sat outside on the terrace. We had been given menus immediately, but no one returned to take our order. My boyfriend had to stand and walk to the entrance of the inside dining to get the attention of a waiter. Mind you, we saw 4 inside walking back and forth, but again, there were no guests. We ordered a hamburger (13,50€) and Borqueronies (11,50€), water, small beer and a wine. The food was served in decent time and in the meanwhile, another table of diners had sat down outside. The hamburger was dwarfed by the bun. It was 1/4 inch thick and 4 inches across, had a single tomato slice and a scrap of lettuce. It was charred black on the outside but red on the inside - telltale indications of going from freezer to grill without being thawed out. This was smaller than Burger King's child's burger (meal) for 5,99€. The boyfriend's Boqueronies were "ok," but nothing special. No one ever returned to check on our food or ask if we wanted drink refills. The table that had been outside near us moved inside and inside had now filled. The wait staff was rushing around inside serving those dining inside. After 45 minutes, my boyfriend went inside to get the attention of the waiter and ask for the bill. We complained that no one had returned to our table - ever. He gestured pointing to all the people now sitting inside and said he was busy with those guests. Ummm.... weren't we "guests" as well? Rude, unapologetic attitude. Bill was 36€. Not recommended and will never return.

Lovely restaurant on the beach in Estepona. Initially we had a grumpy waiter but when we insisted…read morewe needed more time to order he was replaced by two younger men. The artichoke hearts were wonderful. We had grilled vegetables and fish (rape) and our friends had grilled octopus (pulpo) and a skewer of fish shrimp and veggies over a wonderful rice base, with the smallest rice I've ever seen. All excellent. Confusion reigned when we ordered desert as the waiter knew the word fruit but not sorbet and my husband ended up with fresh sliced fruit. He was happy with it. My order of lemon ice cream was not available but instead of telling me it was not available and letting me choose something else, he brought me something he thought I wanted, which I didn't. When I clarified that I was ordering chocolate and vanilla ice cream, he brought me a desert that was neither and told me it was the only ice cream they had. It didn't take like ice cream, it was vanilla and chocolate but wasn't creamy. When I asked another waiter about it, he said it was an Italian dessert. It was good. When they realized the confusion, they sent a complimentary bottle of limoncello and four chocolate covered ice cream bites. So all was well. The restaurant is not expensive by North American standards but is for this region of Spain. We had a magical night with our first views of Gibraltar and the African coastline at sunset. I would come back.

All correct. Well until 20 days prior to this post. Now you can grab Authentic Naples pizza after your bath. Right on the same dirt road that leads you to the baths. Set back in the foliage over a precious foot bridge over looking the creek that's fed by the baths. (It's far enough down steam that the sulfur smell of the baths is not noticeable.) Joseph and his wife Asusana were so so gracious and the food was Excellent! Seriously. So go for the baths. Stop for the pizza Not sure I got the location exactly correct but if you navigate to the Baños de Hedionda- you'll find it.

Urban T. is totally off, off, off, off, off, off the beaten tourist trap. It's so residential, only…read morelocals come here. To me, that says something. For this scant decorated restaurant, Urban T. delivered on exquisite tasting tapas and plates- which we only spent all but €46 on 4 glasses of solid (if I may add) Sangria, 2 Tapas and 2 Plates. So expect savory, aromatic and super delicious foods. Service is speedy- but don't think for a moment you're being rushed out. My girl Nuria was a bubble of unicorn and bubblegum energy and super welcoming. Even though hubs and I didn't come for Paella, we met the chef who confidently showed off one he'd just prepared. Urban Tapas is super chill, funky and you take it all in at your own leisure. Then again, you're in Spain.

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!
