    (Translated by Google) Attention from the waiters is good, but we ordered a grilled eggplant, and it was not cooked enough. They were served half raw. The squid, normalitos and the pork tenderloin very sparse and ultramega bathed in sauce. It was more Good sauce and a pinch of meat. That, plus two beers per head, 20 euros each of the 3. It seems to me that for the quality they offer, how small the bar is ... It is clearly an option that I will not return to take to eat (Original) La atención por parte de los camareros es buena, pero nos pedimos una berenjena a la plancha, y no estaba suficientemente hecha.Nos la sirvieron medio cruda.Los calamares, normalitos y el solomillo de cerdo muy escaso y ultramega bañado en salsa.Era más bien salsa y una pizquita de carne.Eso , más dos cervezas por cabeza, 20 euros cada una de las 3.Me parece que para la calidad que ofrecen, lo pequeño que es el bar...Es claramente una opción que no volveré a coger para comer.

    (Translated by Google) Restaurant in the historic center but absolutely not touristy. The food is excellent and well prepared, generous portions, the fish and the malagueña salad were delicious! And the meat is no less. Friendly staff and excellent value for money. Bravi! (Original) Ristorante in pieno centro storico ma assolutamente non turistico. Il cibo è ottimo e ben preparato, porzioni abbondanti, il pesce e l'insalata malagueña erano buonissimi! E la carne non è da meno. Personale gentile e ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Bravi!

    La Cepa saved our evening! We had booked at a completely different restaurant who brazenly ignored us, even though they knew we had arrived. After 15 minutes we gave up and went to La Cepa. What a difference! Lovely, helpful, pleasant staff and service. Steaks were phenomenal, and cheesecake always goes down well. Wine was fab. Slightly pricey, but hey, you get what you pay for! Many thanks La Cepa 😘

    In general i like this place.Food quality is good but prices are a bit overpriced. Especially the avocado with lettuce.A few thin slices of Avocado (5-6) a handful of lettuce for 8€. This is just not acceptable and compared to other places with the same or better quality a rip off.

  • 1/5 Jan 2 years ago on Google
    Very bad food. The avocado salad was so salty I couldn’t eat it. Furthermore, it consisted of only green salad leaves and avocado slices.

  • 1/5 Alexander G. 2 years ago on Google
    The worst dinner I’ve ever had. No words

  • 1/5 Jenny K. 1 year ago on Google
    We were so disappointed in this restaurant because we like traditional Spanish food and contact with locals and hoped to find it here. However we didn't feel welcome. It was as if they did not want tourists here. The food wasn't what we expected and not worth the money. We know Spain very well and have meet wonderful people all through the country. But we did not meet them in this restaurant. Such a shame. Every client should be welcomed and respected, even tourists.

  • 1/5 Fred F. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't usually leave reviews, but this place outright insulted us and wasted our time. We, a family of six, wanted some drinks and this restaurant was empty. We sat at a table and the waitress took our order. Ten minutes later we were told that we had to buy food or leave. We left. Probably the worst restaurant experience we have had. Surly, arrogant and insulting. Go elsewhere.

  • 3/5 Karen I. 1 year ago on Google
    We wanted to try this restaurant but were quite disappointed by the quality of the meat Moreover they are over priced. The other dishes were ok, a bit bland though. There are so many other typical and better ones in the city.

  • 3/5 eliseo o. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The truth is that everything is phenomenal but I lower the score because every time I go to Malaga (from Madrid) it is a must since I discovered the "cod in vinegar" but the last 4 times I always go it is exhausted ... it is better Let them say that they no longer prepare it! One more time and I erase myself and look that I'm sorry because I love your attention and quality of products (Original) La verdad es que todo está fenomenal pero le bajo la puntuación porque cada vez que voy a Málaga (desde Madrid) es visita obligada desde que descubrí el "bacalao en vinagre" pero las 4 últimas veces siempre que voy está agotado...es mejor que digan que ya no lo preparan! Una vez más y me borro y mira que lo siento porque me encanta su atención y calidad de productos
