    Tapas is fabulous, service is great. We travel a long way to eat here and have never been disappointed. One suggestion, maybe a few fans to keep us Scott’s cool. From one chef to another, thank you for the love you put into your food

    Checked out this little restaurant located at Estepona Puerto Deportivo and it didn't fail. The owner was friendly and service was fast. More importantly, the food was delicious and pricing was reasonable. Highly recommended!

    We were looking where to celebrate my birthday, something not posh, very local and cosy. And our noses told us: this place is here! ❤️ If you want to eat realllyyy gooood spanish food, tapas etc, talk with chef Francisco about everything you are interested in (he speaks english as well), eat here. Highly recommended, 10* 🙌

    It was an amazing experience with a great food taste. I got a table immediately even though an Englishman was trying to get it before me being aggressive and offering bribe. The food is heavenly! Service is top notch!

    Great, I love this place. The owner, his level of service and understanding his customers makes for a great experience. I have been about ten times and I never tire of the place. The only issue is that the greedy ayuntamiento sold off the parking and you have to pay withno more access through to the beach, so it fills up quickly. Also, get there early he closes after lunch. The fish and seafood are fantastic, and I have tried nearly everything on the menu. One of the best if not the best amongst the row of restaurants.

    Great place to eat, stopped here for Gambas pil pil bravas & calamaris, all dishes were good.

    Nice seafood restaurant in the port area. Lovely service from Francisco and his colleague. Very cosy place and we felt at home. We reserved through WhatsApp and the experience was very smooth. I finally discovered the Spanish (or Andalusian?) recipe of pil pil, that is without tomatoes (don’t judge me 😅) the paella is very good but not outstanding. The fried squid is excellent.

    Excellent paella & fantastic, humourous service from Manuel. Pity it closes at 4pm as I like to eat later but I'll be back!

    Not usually one to do reviews but was so impressed with the standard of my lunch here. There’s a few tourist traps along the marina but this is not one of them! Prawn pil pil outstanding

    Great tapas. Best prawn pil-pil in Estepona if not Spain. Paella well worth booking. Carrillada excellent . Classic fish tapas taberna. Hosts good fun Hope it’s here next time I visit

    Lovely little taberna in the port area of Estepona. Great service (friendly and humorous) from the owner Francisco and staff. Superb food at super prices. Highly recommended

  • 4/5 Laimonas G. 4 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff, all tapas were very good, just a bit small for the price. Sangria was really bad, too much sugar..

  • 5/5 Lynn S. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic reasonably priced tapas. Service excellent.

  • 5/5 Michał W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, fantastic staff! If you are in Estepona it is highly recommended (especially gambas pil pil and tuna fish). I will be back, for sure!

    Secret paradise. Best tapas restaurant in Estepona. We visited Estepona many times and every time we come back to this restaurant. Value for the price is awesome. Best Patatas bravas, Pil-pil, chorizo, pimientos de padron etc. Strongly recommend.

    A lovely lunchtime tapas experience. A small restaurant run by a very friendly and welcoming owner, Fransisco. Food lovely and very good value. We returned with friends and would not hesitate to return again.

    Fantastic food, atmosphere & owners! We went there for a family lunch with the kids. We had fried squids, fried green peppers, seafood, patatas bravas with an excellent sauce. Food was fresh & tables super clean . Kids were also entertained with the toys & puzzle the owner "Kiko" brought us. We had an excellent lunch at more than reasonable price. It felt like family. We can't wait to go back! Thank you.

    A very pleasant place to be and enjoy some tasty food. It fully deserves its high recommendation on Google maps. The house Duero and 5-Tapas for two are superb offerings

  • 5/5 Howard C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little tapas bar. The food is excellent,the service is excellent too. The only slight down side is that it is next to a road. And only open at lunchtime. We ate here 3 times and loved it.

    Great foods and service ❤️

  • 5/5 Lesley W. 1 year ago on Google
    A great find. In the port but with plenty of character. We had the tasting tapas menu, wine and coffee. Really good value and super friendly staff. A small restaurant and very popular. Would definitely visit again.

    Best pil pil in the world Great tapas, great service

  • 5/5 Glenn M. 8 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Wonderful lunch-everything is delicious. After we ordered, we were already sold by the olives served in sardine can brine (trust me- it was a great idea and delicious) plus the garlic butter spread for the bread. When the free tasters are amazing, you have to imagine what the food you paid for will taste like and we weren’t disappointed. Trust the proprietors with their specials and definitely order the octopus as well as the Iberian pork cheek. Our only complaint is that we wanted to come back for dinner that evening but they are only open from 1200-1600. Get there between those hours and order your paella ahead of time if you so desire. You will enjoy your lunch.
