My husband ordered what was shown on the menu as seared tuna however he received overly cooked, gray tuna that tasted as if it had been reheated after having spoiled. When we complained the waiter simply stated that is how they serve the dish and walked away. The ox tail was hard and did not fall off the bone. The pork was dry and overcooked. And, the prices were exuberant considering the poor quality of the food. All in all, every dish seemed preheated, overcooked, and just plain awful.

We really enjoyed picking from the trays filled with little wooden boards, each offering something different. We made it our mission to try as many as possible, and we loved every single one! It's also awesome that everything is priced the same, which makes it super easy. We paired our meal with some refreshing tinto de verano, and it was perfect! The whole atmosphere was so much fun and interactive, especially counting the boards to see how many we devoured and figuring out the bill. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our time there truly unforgettable. We didn't wait much for a table but there was a big line when we were leaving, it is definitely a very popular place and we can see why! Can't wait to go back!

This place serves different as you don't order the tapas from the menu as they constantly bring trays of hot tapas from the kitchen and this is how you select. When I was there you were fortunate if there were any tapas left when the servers got to your table. Tapas were tasty and cheap and the beer was good too. Great place to go for a quick tapas Lunch or dinner! I recommend the calamari , squid and fried cheese. FYI, lots of fried tapas so may not be the best healthy choice.

The place opened at 1pm and shortly after, the small place was quickly filled up with patrons. I do believe there is a connecting room with more tables (maybe for the dinner crowd). We ordered the grilled octopus and the grilled scallops. But were extremely tender and you could taste the freshness of the seafood. We also got the fried eggplant sticks which was pretty good, but we had better elsewhere in Malaga Spain. My son got two meat sliders which he also devoured. All in all, great local place with local patrons and a must recommend.

He and his daughters run the restaurant with a few close coworkers who may as well be family, and their service is as good as the food. Everything, from boquerones (lightly fried large sardines) to patatas bravas to pulpo (octopus) has been perfect every time. And the prices are fantastic at 6 euro for a plate of boquerones and 3 euro for the patatas bravas. But by far our favorite is the made to order paella mixto. Jorge puts love into his cooking, and this, and his fresh seafood and vegetables, keep us coming. Ack year after year. It is always our first meal when we reach torrevieja, our home away from home.
