My favorite restaurant and tapas bar in Nerja, recommend by several locals as the best do high…read morequality food, reasonable prices and good service. All of this proved true and resulted in not one but two evenings to enable enjoying more of the menu! Thr tapas were so amazingly delicious and flavorful, sensory rich , fresh, creatively presented, savory and satisfying! The flamingo chorizo was fun and tasty, the fried eggplant and molasses was so so good! Thr goat cheese with walnuts and jam, creamy and nutty like some sort of dessert. A pitcher of Sangria was had the deck second visit after enjoying a glass the first time and the pitcher gave 4 plus glasses of tasting and fresh red wine and fruit. flavor that is a local specialty. The white sardines are so light and wonderful, not as rich as the ones in the US. The ambience is very charming, authentic and feels very local with many Spaniards dining here and the staff are all friendly, helpful and patient ! Service was overall excellent! The seating is close and intimate inside and outside a bit more open and cafe like. The facilities an bathroom are all clean and well kept despite the obvious age of the bldg. It's on a corner across from a music club called Fitzgerald's and they had Irish music for St Patrick's Day! Both dining experiences were excellent and it's the most tapas I've ever ordered and been able to eat at a single meal time ever, because it was so damn good! The food taste is Michelin level but has a neighborhood charm and locals feel to it! A must do for anyone in Nerja or traveling through Andulusia!

While it is small, it is really lovely and the views from here are amazing. We had the Pate de la Casa and the Ensalada "Pipirrani" con Queso Feta. You can easily share the salad as it is quite a good size and the Pate was the creamiest I have ever had. However, be patient as it takes quite a while to make the salad. It is worth the wait. I would definitely visit here again.

It gets crowded and loud soon after they open at 8:30 for dinner after closing for a few hours post lunch. No English menus but that's ok. Come in, open up your Translator and make friends with the servers behind the Bar. It will be so worth it. I started with a Verdejo and first Tapa was the Torezznos de Soria (Fried Pork Belly). Had this as an appetizer back home and this version is so much better-salty, crunch outside, tender inside-beyond delicious! Next was the Carilladda de Cerdo (Pork Cheeks) had the taste/texture of Short Rib-super tender and tasty. Solomillo à la Poniente-tenderloin with creamy sauce taking it over the top. Pinchito de Cordero (grilled lamb cubes) so tender and without the gamey. Pulpo Frito (fried octopus)-first time having it and enjoyed it. De Buey (their mini burger)-cooked medium rare and leaves you wanting a few more. 2nd visit-Busanos (snails-not escargot), -Ostras (Oysters), -Flamenquin Cordobes (deep fried ham/cheese in a roll-delicious), -Lomo en Manteca (pork loin in lard mini sandwich), -Pinchito de longanizo (sausage skewer) a little spicy, nice snap and salty, -Sombretito de Cabra (fried goat cheese with honey) on the bottom, slice of eggplant and tomato, -Sardines ahumadas (smoked sardines) with tomato on bottom-salty oily-delicious, -Cazuelita de christorra de Arbizu-salty sausage pieces pair nicely with Bravas. Friendly servers behind the Bar. Melen took great care of me-A Local's favorite where you plan on spending a short time or a few hours and trying out a few of their delicacies paired with your beverages of choice. When in Malaga, a must stop!
