    Very nice atmosphere, authentic, and good quality tapas. You might have to wait 15 minutes to get a table. I would also rely on the staff recommendations. We live in Malaga, and go there often

    Very good and authentic tapas. Huge variety and all are amazing. Vermouth is delicious, I recommend to try it. Atmosphere is inviting and cozy. It is not expensive at all considering the quality. Amazing place you should definitely not miss!

    One of Casa Lola's - any time we walk by, it's packed, people waiting outside, the waiters taking only booked reservations inside... today we went a bit early and snatched a table. Ok... great choice of foods. Some really interesting combinations. Small portions for a small price. We tried a lot of things and were generally satisfied. Not your quiet bar to hang out and let the evening pass you by, but definitely an option if you want to taste your way through the regional food or just like the food and reserve a table for dinner, or take a table for your group and laugh over some nice tapas and drinks. Always lively!

    If you're looking for delicious food affordable price then you came to the right place. If you want to have a service team treat you like a king then go somewhere else. Ordered 8 different dishes, 4 different glasses of wines Cost around 40 euro. Happy tummy, Happy wallet. Happy happy holiday!

    Easy tapas bar from a local chain. It takes a while before we can order, but after that the food is deliver rapidly. Service is not very personal. No conversations today. Food is ok, nothing special

    Was recommended online and wow, was a very good experience, everything ordered tasted fresh and delicious, we came twice and on both occasions full stomachs without breaking bank. You will have to queue outside though but worth it in my opinion, their sangria is the best one yet in Malaga.

    Quality and tasty tapas with decent price. We love the authentic, delicious tapas and the atmosphere here. Most of the foods we ordered were amazing! Recommend a try. The restaurant was very busy, you need to talked with the one in charge and let them know how many people were waiting, we didn’t wait for so long, they are efficient.

    Fantastic Tapas place in Malaga. Was referred to this place by a local. The food was delicious and the service was quick. There is a wait usually between 30-45 min so make sure you take that into account especially during busy periods 2-4pm and 830-1030pm. Worth the wait.

    We tried Casa Lola, as it was recommended by a local. It is always quite crowded and loud. There is indoors and outdoors seating. The stools were not the most comfortable type of seating, especially considering being there for a while, ordering a variety of different tapas with drinks... Their sangria was yummy and the staff was nice. The prices were also quite affordable. We tried more than 10 different tapas and enjoyed most of them.

    A local recommended Casa Lola and I was not disappointed. It it a very popular spot for tourists and locals so depending on the time you go, you may have to wait for a table. I was mostly dining alone so was able to get a table straight away. I really enjoyed all of the tapas dishes I tried so much so I came back the following day! There is also a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. The service could be improved, I had to get the waiters attention to order on both occasions I visited. They also took their time to bring the bill and then a further long wait to pay the bill. I know they are very busy but staff could be abit more attentive towards customers. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the food and would return!

    Wonderful real tapas, great varieties and delicious for both meat and fish. Intense, busy but casual. Staff works with great efficiency in the almost constantly crowded atmosphere with great panache! Highly recommended. Went there three times in 5 nights !!

    Everything was very tasty and it took very small amount of time. Without a doubt I can recommend this restaurant. There is a lot of seafood in menu but if you don't like it there are also other options. The only problem is that it can be a bit noisy sometimes but I guess that the most important thing is food and when it comes to food everything is perfect.

    We really enjoyed dinner here, such reasonable prices and really tasty food. We had 9 types of pinchos/tapas and 3 drinks for 40€, the best value of our trip! There was a short wait (and don’t wait for the front of house staff to ask you for your name, get their attention and ask them to add your name to the list!) but it wasn’t long at all and once seated the service was quite speedy. It was a great experience and we would definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Jenna B. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this place, you need to get there for opening at 12.30 to get a table without queuing. The food is delicious, fresh and a big variety to choose from. Our waiter on the 6th January was so nice, really attentive and friendly and he gave us some traditional Kings day cake after our meal...such a nice touch.

  • 4/5 Hata H. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a 4 stars restaurant! Food: 2/2 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ quite good Tapas. Highly recommend the Iberian hamburger 🍔 which has their special sauce, quite tasty Service: 0/1 star always busy, need to queue for 20-40 minutes. —> tip: there is another Casa Lola nearby, not too many tourists go there. We tried both restaurant, the menus are the same. If you hate standing in a narrow street, probably you could try that Casa Lola. Price: 1/1 star ⭐️ reasonable price for food. Location: 1/1 star ⭐️ easy to find it via google map.

  • 5/5 Bachar F. 1 year ago on Google
    I went there without reservation and I waited only around 30 minutes which is totally fine considering the crowd and that I have not booked. The food is AMAZING. The shrimps are so tasty and the chicken sandwich as well. Highly recommended! The service is nice and the staff are friendly, almost everyone speaks english. The tomato thing I was expecting it to be hot but it is more like a fresh drink, I personally will not take it again.

  • 5/5 Renuka M. 1 year ago on Google
    Delightful experience of authentic tapas. Great atmosphere. Expect to wait at busy times. Don’t expect waiters to hang around and chat. They are very busy but soak in the atmosphere and ambiance.

  • 4/5 Soonyon F. 5 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere was very nice and the staff were really friendly 👍We ordered octopus with baby potatoes, Port fillet with pickled onions, grilled pepper salad and tuna burger with kimchi sauce. Every food was delicious but highly recommend octopus & tuna one. Also loved the green olives 🫒😍

  • 5/5 Dita M. 6 months ago on Google
    Be prepared to wait a bit in line because is a very popular tapas place here in Malaga. But once you’re in the service is very quick and friendly. The food is quite nice and I would suggest to try the cold seafood salad (so good) 👍🏼

  • 5/5 wilabst 5 months ago on Google
    Superb casual Tapas restaurant in the heart of Malaga Old town. Bit of a queue to get in but very well organised by the head waiter. Took our names, gave us a time, and everything was ready when we arrived back. The atmosphere was great, really friendly efficient waiters and waitresses with a good sense of humour. All dishes were excellent as was the Vermouth. A great night out!

  • 5/5 Aileen H. 6 months ago on Google
    The front desk at our hotel recommended this spot and I’m so glad he did. First off, there was a 15 min wait for dinner on a Thursday, and it took a while for them to take our order, but once the order was in, everything came out super fast. I got the Sangria which was so refreshing, and everything we ordered was great! The highlights were the Casalola Style Tomatoes – the green salt on it with olive oil was so simple but really good. The octopus is a must – it’s so tender and fresh, served with yellow potatoes. The Iberico acorn-fed ham was really good – oily and great taste. It was a bit too much for my husband, but I really enjoyed it and recommend. This place is packed with tourists, but I didn’t mind it at all – it obviously is so good that people from all over the world eat here. We also got 3 pinchos (toast/bread with toppings on top) here, and I would skip these and order other tapas, only cuz the bread is filling and honestly, I didn’t care for the bread. I wish I came here 1 more time during my stay in Malaga, but I guess I gotta come back!

    We went here because of the high amount of reviews. It was amazing! Fast service, authentic, inexpensive Spanish tapas and cuisine. I would highly recommend stopping here but come before 8:30, the line gets very long after, it does move pretty quickly though. Sitting on the street was a great way to people watch.

    Very tasty, fair prices. I went twice in 4 days. Everything tastes fresh. It's very popular so I recommend going slightly before the rush. Staff are well organized and efficient.
