Great hospitality and service we had from this family owned cozy place. We are treated super well. Service did not stop for a moment. We tried many things from the menu and we had many complimentary small local snacks. The place deserves every single good review they have. Thanks again for your hospitality and keep up the good work. Wish we could have more time to go and visit for the second time. We are El Turcos 😁

To say this is the best restaurant in Andalucía would not be an understatement.

As Iranians we wanted an authentic Spanish meal and we were recommended to visit this restaurant.

The owner was so warm and hospitable. Off the bat when we told him we were Iranian he asked us if there was anything we did not eat.

Luckily for us, we eat and drink everything! The Russian salad, the artichokes and lettuce tuna dishes were some of the best vegetable dishes we have ever eaten. The owners 94 year old father makes his own olive oil and this was on par with the best olive oil we have ever had! And it really added another dimension to all the dishes.

I am obsessed with Iberian ham and this was one of the best ones I’ve had in the Malaga region. The owner asked me for a price range for wine and he picked out one of the nicest reds we have ever tried. So good we had two bottles (greedy us).

The pork steak was also on a another planet. Moorish and rustic it was amazing with their home made chips.

I could go on all day about the quality of the food and service but it would still fall short of what you will experience when you actually visit.

A real gem, thank you so much and we will be back!

Best Tapas bar in San Pedro - been coming to spain for years and been all over San Pedro, this place in a hidden gem. Amazing food, great selection of wine and run by lovely people. Reasonable too. Not to be missed!!!

Amazing tapas restaurant. Food was great and the staff were super friendly and service minded. The owner even came and suggested to put together a selection of dishes for us - saying yes to that was a good decision. And of course limoncello on the house. Great value for this area.
