    It's quite reasonably priced for such a central location most places try to rip the tourists off giving under 10 prawns but these provided 20. Their portion sizes are very generous indeed and I left feeling full and satisfied. Couldn't fault the staff either.

    Good food in a convenient location. Good place for fried seafood and paellas. Generous portions and reasonable prices compared to surrounding places. They did not warn us that you can only have half portions if you sit inside, which seems very unusual for Spain (first time I've come across this!). Service was fast and efficient though staff became much less attentive as the evening progressed and the place became busier. Come early.

    We didn't make any reservation but they were able to accommodate us by opening a close area. Staff were friendly and services was fast. Paella price is reasonable. Fish price is on the high side.

  • 3/5 Nicoleta G. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty good, but on the expensive side. We had paella in a restaurant close to the beach and it was *delicious* for 20€, here it was 38€. The oysters were good. The sword fish as well. The waiters don't really know English and I felt rushed when we were ordering (I wanted the red snapper, they didn't have it, tried selling me 1/2 of a sea bass). Anyway. All in all, good food (mediocre deserts).

    Delicious seafood! The pil-pil, fried shrimp, and fried whole mini calamari were awesome! The paella was too wet, although flavor was nice. Service was pleasant, seating was comfortable. They do not have a drink menu or wine list.

    Location was good and close to the center, cathedral. First, personnels welcome us with spanish smile :D We had Paella with lobster, grilled squid, seafood soup. All of them were perfect for us and chef served one more soup to us and made it as complimentary. Especially paella was very impressive and soup was quite mild compared to other cities in Spain.

  • 4/5 Cameron A. 7 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff and great oysters. Quick and good service. Average food though: gummy octopus, oddly tasting/bitter calms and very average shrimps in oil. Wine would be decently priced if I was buying it for that price anywhere in Europe, but here it’s on the more expensive side, it was decent, young and fruity but for 25 euro in Spain you’d expect something a bit better.

  • 5/5 International Foodie G. 3 years ago on Google
    Los Mellizos is a seafood restaurant located in the heart of Malaga. Los Mellizos Malaga has to appear on my list of best tapas bars in Malaga, it offers a wide variety of rice dishes, paellas, seafood and renowned fried fish or ”pescaito frito”. The restaurant features a special area for tapas where you can taste half portions of all their dishes, you can also enjoy the tapas in their terrace. The quality of food and service both are excellent. We tasted the local specialities Ensalada de Pimientos Asados and Chanquetes, we also had a plate of Boquerones al Limon, the food was very delicious. A video of tapas experience is also available on YouTube channel (internationalfoodieguide).

    We went there specifically for fish following nice reviews at a lunchtime. Overall I can’t suggest this place. Price didn’t meet quality. The artichokes for starter were ok. For mains we had two different grilled fishes. Fish was descent, but the sides should be improved. Over-boiled veggies and questionable quality potatoes. Service was quite quick though as the place wasn’t busy at that time.

  • 3/5 Malwina R. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good calamari. We tried to order vegan food, not sure if the soup I ordered was actually vegan. One meal marked vegan had actual honey (which isn’t vegan) so it’s a bit confusing. Great place for seafood but very confusing for vegetarians and vegans. Please let me know if Gazpacho y salmorejo is vegan, as I ate it! Staff can’t really speak much English

  • 5/5 Lefteris D. 2 years ago on Google
    The best paella by far. We visited Malaga for 4 days and we went there 2 times! The black paella is the best paella that you can have! Amazing flavor! Thanks for this experience!

  • 5/5 Run C. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful experience dining at this restaurant. It was a last minute search for a place to eat. Google search has this on top of the list. We came in without reservations at 830pm. The outdoor and 1st floor dining area were almost full, but was immediately escorted upstairs. The upstairs dining is beautiful set up. I hv several pictures attached to this review. The wait staff are very attentive and courteous. Now for the food. For a party of seven, we ordered 1 fried fish and 1 calamaritos as appetizers, 2 paellas, 1 Parridella peschado. Huge portions! The paella marischos is really great but the paella negra is my favorite. All of the dishes and appetizers are great. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try when you are in Malaga. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 to the staff!!

  • 5/5 Ella R. 1 year ago on Google
    The best restaurant in Malaga hands down. If you like seafood, or Spanish food, this is the place to go. The staff is incredibly friendly, the venue is chic and air conditioned which is a plus during summer. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Milos L. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. They open kitchen again at 19h. Paella is very good and tasty, for 2-3 persons.

  • 4/5 uzzy2403 8 months ago on Google
    Great seafood paella - prob the best I’ve ever had!! The octopus was pretty good too! The mix seafood was demolished by the table!! Prices weren’t too bad but I wasn’t a fan of the rowdy atmosphere created by those fuelled by alcohol - that said, it’s highly recommended

  • 4/5 Yuki T. 1 year ago on Google
    Restaurant staff was very friendly and when we were ordering he stopped us from ordering too much for 2 people, which was a plus. Had some clams shrimps and fried fish. Clams were okay not the best in terms of freshness. That large shrimps stood out tho, sweet and tender meat. Personally not a big fan of fried fish but bf said he quite liked it so probably worth a try

  • 4/5 C. K. 5 months ago on Google
    Gets busy really fast. Overall, meal was enjoyable. Customer service was adequate. Food served hot and fresh. The seafood soup was marvelous. The fried sol was okay, edible and filling. Would eat here again.

    To dieeee for! The arroz con carabineros was grand! It had bits of fish which I’m not a big fan of (guess you can ask without it if you don’t like it) but the flavour of that juicy rice was like being in heaven! Also, try the Vieiras gratinadas, it’s a big shell scallop with prawns, tomato sauce and a delicious bechamel.

  • 5/5 Jose E. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place on the city center. Staff is very attentive. Great selection of fish and Arroces. I recommend to make a a reservation, on dinner is hard to get a table.

    We went for my birthday meal. It was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The fish was spectacular. I had hake and my friend had seabass. Both were superb. The staff also sang happy birthday (I think) in Spanish and I got a few dessert. Was very good.

  • 5/5 Ruby N. 5 years ago on Google
    Fresh and delicious seafood in the Centro Historico part of Malaga. The large shrimp is quite pricey, 11e for 100gr, and two shrimps can cost you 35e. However they are absolutely delicious.

  • 3/5 Isabel M. E. 3 years ago on Google
    Disappointing . I wanted to come here since arrived to Malaga . But the mero was overcooked ( in Spain that is a sin ) and the mussels had no sauce . Just plain steam !!!! Tate’s like nothing.
