LaTabernilla

We visited La Tabernilla during our trip and had an overall average experience.

The waitress who looked after us was very friendly, welcoming and attentive, and she definitely made us feel looked after. We also appreciated the fried seafood, which was fresh and enjoyable.

However, there were a few things that let the experience down. We had to wait a while before our food order could be taken, as only one member of staff seemed to be taking food orders. We also tried the Flamenquìn but unfortunately it wasn’t to our taste and had an unusual flavour.

The interior of the restaurant looked colourful and inviting.

We were seated outside in the alleyway, opposite a kebab shop. Unfortunately, there was a strong smell of urine in the street during our meal, which made the atmosphere much less pleasant. The outdoor seating is in a busy area, and it was quite noisy, making it difficult to have a conversation.

Overall, nothing was particularly bad, but nothing really stood out either. It was an average meal, and not somewhere I would personally go out of my way to return to.

Fantastic service and delicious tapas in the heart of Malaga! Would highly recommend - staff are fantastic and can’t do enough for you. Food came quickly but all perfectly cooked - the sardines and the meatballs the highlights but all the food was delicious. Muchas gracias - hasta lluego!

La Tabernilla is a real gem in Málaga Centro. The food was absolutely amazing—full of flavor and clearly made with care. What really made the experience special was the staff: incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. On top of that, the place itself is super nice, cozy, and full of charm. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and highly recommend.

Great vibes and colorful look. Nice personnel which is very attentive. All food that you order comes to you real fast. Portion sizes are great and everything that I have tried was delicious and I have returned back twice to try many dishes. menu is not overloaded which means that everything is delicious: Fish mix, ham and cheese tapas, hummus, croquets, prawn rice, spanish potato omelet with ham(local food) wine and best sangria in the city (that I have tried). Highly recommend to eat your lunch here. It has both indoor and outdoor seating.

Spent my birthday there in May and had honestly an amazing time. Tapas were so so good, the tomato cream with tuna tartar were one of the best things I've ever had in my life!
Sol the hostess is so sweet and welcoming 🧡 all the staff was super nice. The tinto de verano 10/10. Super recommend!
