Classic tapas bar in Málaga. It’s located in the city center, just a short walk off the main tourist drag, which gives it a slightly more authentic, local feel despite still attracting its share of visitors.

We came here straight after landing, so it ended up being our very first tapas stop of the trip - which added to the excitement. In the end, it was a great choice and well worth the visit.

The food and service were both AWESOME! After visiting Sevilla and Granada, FINALLY we've eaten delicious tapas with satisfying portions. We order twice what we ate. Here is the best of best! The staff is incredibly kind and smiling. So good! Thank you very much!!!

Amazing tapas bar in the heart of Malaga! Reasonable prices for great quality food. Loved the oxtail and tinto de verano. The staff was extremely nice and efficient for a busy Friday night. The music perfectly matched the local vibes. Will be back for sure!

The best place we ate at in Malaga! After a series of terrible meals, this was such an amazing surprise. What a gem of a spot! Great atmosphere, super fast and friendly service, every dish was flavourful and delicious. We’ll be coming back every day we’re here now!

Probably the best place we visited in Malaga. There is a level of chaos and control that nicely complement each other. There is little table service but they are quick and attentive to serve. All the food is spot on from the Gilda through to Padron Peppers and dishes in-between. The Tinto Verano is also reasonably priced and perfectly served. We visited 3 times including after the Argentina vs England game and the atmosphere was great every time. A must try for Malaga!
