My daughter and myself visited last week, we had the most amazing tapas, the young lad that served us was so lovely and helpful. It was the best food we had all week. Fantastic service and atmosphere and a great place to people watch. They’ve only been open a couple of months go give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.

What an absolute gem. The family that run this place are beautiful people. The Chef sat with us on his break and talked as if we were friends, all about his brother and mother (who also run the place). The location was great for us as our 2 boys were able to pop for a stroll while we sat, chilled, drank and sunbathed.... while enjoying the wonderful tapas they serve. We stopped for a drink in the heat, tasted the tapas and then stayed for a bottle (or 2) of rose. We ended up having 2 rounds of tapas due our extended stay - it was that good. Would 100% recommend and will return when we visit Torremolinos again.

Hidden gem, all tapas were delicious and service was great. It seems to be run by a Dutch family who were all friendly. Would go back here to try the rest of their dishes! It was 21 euros for 6 tapas and a beer. Recommend trying the chorizo in wine sauce.

Little gem in the area. Small menu so they focus a lot on their dishes and making them perfect. Steak was absolutely amazing. So so tasty. We acc came here twice on our holiday we didn’t even bother tasting steak somewhere else. Owner is so kind and helpful. Pepper sauce is also amazing but not even needed with the steak
