A true Málaga institution! Pollos San Juan has been serving incredible rotisserie chicken since 1963, and it’s easy to see why. Located right next to the Atarazanas Market, the food is as fresh as it gets.
The Bocadillo San Juan is a must-try—simple, high-quality ingredients that create the perfect sandwich for under €5. If you’re hungrier, their daily menu (Menú del Día) is an absolute steal at €8. The staff are seasoned pros who make everyone feel like a local. Whether you’re grabbing a takeaway or a quick bite on the street, this is the gold standard for roasted chicken in the city. Don't skip the Tortilla Campera!

About the neighbourhood: Distrito Centro
Málaga's historic core, bounded by the Guadalmedina river to the west, the port to the south and the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro to the east. The district contains the Cathedral, the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba fortress, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre, plus the main shopping street Calle Marqués de Larios. Inside Distrito Centro sit the well-known sub-areas of Centro Histórico, Soho, La Merced and Lagunillas. The area is almost entirely pedestrianised, served by Metro Atarazanas and the Málaga–Centro Alameda rail station.

I ordered half chicken and croquettes from this restaurant on uber eats.
All food arrived cold and soggy.
And before blaming the delivery service for the timing, it's a responsibility for any business to check the suppliers and partners they work with.
Disgusting
Ordered the full chicken menu through Glovo. The delivery was super fast, no issue with that. It’s not the first time I have ordered a full chicken from Pollos San Juan; I was always happy before, but this time I wasn’t. First, the chicken quality was below average: the breast was cooked but not properly roasted/grilled. The chicken was placed backwards in the tray with the breast touching the bottom, which was strange. I also noticed a big increase in price but no increase in quality and the chicken is still very small. Not sure I will order again, to be honest.
Great fresh juicy chicken. We were passing by and came back by the great smell of the chicken. Absolutely worth the money. Two whole breasts with fries were about 8.5€s!! Full with locals which is a very good sign. Don’t doubt to jump in :)
