We ordered traditional bread with goat cheese and asparagus. The portion was big and completely enough for 1 person to eat it. We also ordered 2 Sangrias and they were excelent.

We visited this restaurant for an evening meal, we sat quickly and ordered paella and chicken and chips. I would say the food was ok, it was what it was. Not particularly outstanding, it may have been what we ordered. For £35 for the food along with 2 beers and a glass of wine, it was fairly cheap for the centre of Malaga but I think there are better places to eat.

The atmosphere is cozy and the service very attentive, but what truly left me speechless were the txistorra croquettes. Creamy, flavorful, and with just the right amount of intensity. Honestly, some of the best I’ve had in a long time. I’ll come back just for them!

Location is away from the main tourist eating area and there is some walkthrough on the pavement so it's ok for a short stop. The food was ok, the wine was ok. It wasn't special but was fine for a quick lunch. I don't think it represents value for money however I have to recognise that there is a basine cost to provide and operate a restaurant. The goat cheese and tomato with rosemary and olive oil was ok. Maybe the highlight. The chips (potatoes bravas equivalent) was freshly cooked and crispy so I really appreciated that. The service was good. The quality of the food was ok the fresh salad and vegetables were the better part.

I've been here several times during my holiday in Málaga. The tapas are really tasty and feel authentic, and the homemade sangria is very good. The staff are friendly and helpful, which makes it a nice place to visit. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.
