(Translated by Google) You can order cheeks, sirloin with pepper, snails, all great and a family atmosphere (Original) Podéis pedir carrillada, solomillo a la pimienta, caracoles, todo buenísimo y ambiente familiar

Such an amazing location. Wild, loud and delicious. The food is great, the atmosphere special. It seems to be the local visited place itself. Its so simple, but great.

A tiny bar with a huge customer base, La Farola de Orellana ( The Lamp Post of Orellana ) found on Calle Moreno Monroy a tiny street in Central Malaga , about 3 minutes walk from the beautiful Cathedral of Malaga . It’s loud, with orders and requests shouted across the bar for TAPAS or MEDIO RACIONES ( larger plates ). The staff are fast friendly and efficient . This is definitely NOT a tourist trap and all the prices reflect this . It’s full of locals and altho we’re not locals we were warmly welcomed . La Farola has quite a wide range of traditional Andalucian food on offer, well prepared and served steaming hot . Delicious and rustic too . We all enjoyed , so much so that we’ll be returning several times over our next 6 days. Be brave , step off the beaten track , you won’t be disappointed by La Farola de Orellana. .

Homy n tasty food! Amazing food! And service is great! So lucky for the chance to meet this place, taste the food, and know the people working there. Definitely will go back for next visit. Thanks you guys.

First time I’ve been there I enjoyed, service was good but then the second time I saw the major flaws. The food comes in pieces so if you order separately you will eat while your friends are watching which is not a nice thing. Getting the order sent or the bill takes ages so better go inside and pay. The food is acceptable in size, the price per person will end up somewhere at 10€+ per person. The meat dishes tends to have quite a bit of fat on them which is not my personal favorite. Overall it’s an okay place.

We spent several weeks in Spain, and we ate our first and last meals here. The gambas pil pil are a religious experience...I didn’t know prawns could have such a texture. The atmosphere cannot be beaten. Skip the line by eating at the bar, and just ask the owner (Juan, pictured) to bring you whatever he recommends. About two or three tapas per person if you are hungry. We just left, what a good time.

This place was so good that I went three times in the weekend I was in Malaga. Its cheap, you can combine the dishes, everything is worth trying but the things I remember were so good was the papas a la mala leche, solomillo al rockefort, los pimientos del Patron, los callos, la berenjena frita and the so damn good sombrerito! The beer is so cheap too and it feels traditional af to be there. Its gonna be squished thats for sure and gotta fight to be notice tho!

Amazing authentic tapas bar, a real hidden gem that won't disappoint! The Iberian sausage was unbelievable, as was the chorizo and goats cheese. Drinks are cheap, service is quick and the staff are great! Although the staff didn't speak much English, they still gave us a warm welcome and we communicated as well as we could! Highly recommend and I will be going back there whenever I get the chance!

(Translated by Google) A CLASSIC MALAGUEÑO. Orellana is one of those places in Malaga that, in addition to having good food, has a very particular charm. They have as many tapas and very good portions, and with an excellent product. I love their farolitos (an asparagus wrapped in ham and with a delicious cheese sauce). Also its crests, its pilpil prawns, sirloin, flamenquín, goat hats, stuffed mushrooms ... And the potatoes "a la mala leche" are tasty and spicy, hey! Hence the name, of course ... Personally, every time I've tried something new, I've liked it. Anything on the menu is worth it. And it already depends on what you want the most: whether a general tapas, fish, meat, Iberian ... And the prices are very good. It is one of those typical places that I like to take people who come to visit me from abroad. It seems to me a very authentic place and worth knowing, because it shows you a lot of our gastronomy, our lifestyle and our character, because our sympathy and good humor can be seen in its staff and in the same coexistence that exists between diners . A nice place to stand and drink your beer or your wine, while enjoying some delicious tapas, talks and laughs. Hopefully COVID returns us to normal one day, and we can continue to enjoy this site as we used to. Meanwhile, we adapt, because the truth is worth it. (Original) UN CLÁSICO MALAGUEÑO. Orellana es uno de esos sitios que tiene Málaga que además de tener buena comida, tiene un encanto muy particular. Cuentan como muchas tapas y raciones muy buenas, y con un producto excelente. A mí me encantan sus farolitos (un espárrago envuelto en jamón york y con una salsa de queso buenísima). También sus crestas, sus gambas al pilpil, el solomillo, el flamenquín, los sombreritos de cabra, los champis rellenos… Y las patatas “a la mala leche” están sabrosas y pican, ¡eh! De ahí el nombre, claro… Personalmente, cada vez que he probado algo nuevo, me ha gustado. Cualquier cosa de la carta merece la pena. Y ya depende de qué tengas más ganas: de si un tapeo general, pescaito, carne, ibéricos… Y los precios muy buenos. Es uno de esos típicos sitios al que me gusta llevar a la gente que viene a visitarme de fuera. Me parece un lugar muy auténtico y digno de conocer, porque te muestra mucho de nuestra gastronomía, de nuestro estilo de vida y de nuestro carácter, pues nuestra simpatía y buen humor se deja ver en su personal y en la misma convivencia que hay entre comensales. Un sitio simpático, para estar de pie y tomarte tu cañita o tu vinito, mientras disfrutas de unas tapitas ricas, de charlas y de unas risas. Ojalá el COVID nos devuelva algún día a la normalidad, y podamos seguir disfrutando de este sitio tal y como antes lo hacíamos. Mientras tanto, nos adaptamos, porque la verdad que merece la pena.

Absolute hidden gem - best tapas experience ever. Friendly staff and service with smile. Loved every bite of everything we ordered.

It’s very rare to give 5 stars but this place deserves them. It was recommended by my landlord as her choice when she goes out for tapas and I went twice. It can be hectic on Fridays/Saturdays as it is very crowded. I actually found a nice spot on the bar and I ate a lot of tapas. They are just amazing. I spent two weeks in Seville with terrible food in many different places. This tapas bar is a hidden gem at the heart of the historic centre. The staff is amazing, lots of locals eating there , the vibe is superb. You eat amazing food, drink great wine and socialise with people around you! Highly recommended!

Excellent 5***** ...great food 👍 Locals eat here ...so it must be very tasty 🥰 I recomend this place

(Translated by Google) We ordered 2 cañas and 2 vermouths, a tapa with two croquettes, a tapa with a large mushroom stuffed with cheese and a half of cheeks with straw potatoes. In general it was all very good but what we liked the most were the croquettes. Great price, € 18.70 all. And the waiter was very friendly. (Original) Pedimos 2 cañas y 2 vermuts, una tapa con dos croquetas, una tapa con un champiñon grande relleno de queso y media de carrillada con patatas paja.

Amazing Tapas, nice familiar atmosphere! The lamb is incredible. Also try some vermouth!

Delicious tapa on a quiet little road The staff are friendly and the food is gold Asparagus with ham and cheese was simply exquisite And I'll definitely get the pork cheeks when I come and revisit Already want to go back to try the pinchitos, The ligeritas too and boquerones fritos!

Awesome food and the staff is fantastic! Very friendly, helpfull and always nearby to take your order. Would recommend this authentic spanish bar to everyone!

Great, authentic and original tapas bar. Comprehensive range of food served by a very happy and helpful staff who, even without English (I have no Spanish) were easy to communicate with. I can say no more - excellent tapas bar but don't expect a comfortable seat!!

One of our favourite bars here in Malaga! Very good traditional tapas/food, and very nice people serving us! Always full!

Wonderful experience!! A pity that we didn’t take any pictures. We ordered small portion oxtail, scallops, shrimp skewers, fried eggplant with honey and a pork skewer, all very delicious!! It is a small and crowded bar, mostly for local people so they don’t have english menu, but the food quality is over our expectation, and the staff was also very kind and friendly! Highly recommend.

Delicious food, perfect service, nice atmosphere! We loved every dish we ordered, especially the aubergines.

One of the oldest and traditional tapas bar in Malaga. You will be welcome in a great atmosphere with generous and quality food. The staff is very kind and will leave you with a great experience

I love this little tapas bar. It can become very busy and getting served can take time but that's what makes this place special. Its authentic tapas, the staff work hard and will get to you. Find a seat, sit back and enjoy the atmosphere on a busy day, grab some amazing tapas and a beer or wine and enjoy a real authentic tapas experience.

Nice little tapas bar, tucked away into a street. Full of Spanish, so had high hopes being the only tourists! Did not disappoint, very tasty dishes and filling too. Very small bar so limited seating, and others were standing up at side bars to eat. Only dropped a star, since we didn’t receive one of our dishes and got charged twice!

Small tapas place with very limited seating. Definitely worth visiting, although will be hard to sit unless you're lucky or wait outside for it to open. Large selection of tapas - all that we tried were great, with the ox cheek and the callos standing out. Normal prices, friendly staff.

Vibrant atmosphere, busy, people queuing by the door before the place even opened. The service is great, I don't know how they keep track of orders but my bill came out perfect. Then we get to the food. I just wish I had a bigger stomach to try more things or someone to share more tapas with. Truly outstanding and authentic food. No wonder this place is a gem mid touristy area. Lots of well informed tourists but lots of locals as well. I'd definitely come back there!

Decided to pop in for a glass of wine and some tapa after walking passed and seeing it wasn't too busy (not something I'd normally do in Malaga) Sat at the bar looking at all of the incredible seafood. The white wine was delicious and very cold which was appreciated. For food the pinchitos were excellent, loved the Langoustine and Jamón one, as well as the lamb one. Had a few delicious mini scallops too, bathed in a garlic butter, luckily I had plenty of bread for dipping. Service was friendly and there were English menús available for those who need them.

This bar deserves more than 5 stars as the food and service by the waiters are top notch. We specially enjoyed the wines, potatoes in spicy sauce, iberico ham, eggplant and cheese pinchito, and champiñones.

We had a great lunch in La Farola de Orellana. Waiters are so welcoming when we standing outside waiting to be serve. And they so helpful when we can’t speak Spanish. Thank you so much for everything :-)

Fantastic place. Great and really delicious food, we had 5 tapas and all of them were great. Service was pleasant too. Fully recommended to visit once in Malaga.

Busy bar for the locals in Málaga center, really busy all the time, the locals never move for you to get a drink .... the idea is to shout and get the attention of the waiter behind the bar... no table service.... all self service... The food comes fast and hot, snails and boquerones are the quick snacks that the bar is famous.. The staff have seen it all and move really fast.. you have to ask or you won't get...

I arrived just before last order. The food is to be enjoyed early for sure. Still a nice place but my opinion, dont serve food that is not to be served. Waiter, top !!

I love this place. Just got there as they opened and got a place at the bar. I took the iberico with mushrooms in cream sauce with fries and a beer. I payed less than I expected. The Tapas are fresh and all soooo good. The waiters are very friendly even if they have a lot to do. Nice and cozy atmosphere.

Very nice authentic place! Food is delicious and the service is super friendly :) I highly recommend! :)

Totally authentic. It's a tapas bar in the heart of Malaga with the very best of Spanish food. If you go, don't miss the "Callos".

This is a really buzzing place full of locals. It is tucked away down a narrow passageway just off the main shopping street but could be a million miles away in terms of character and atmosphere. We went for a last drink one evening around 11.30 p.m. and it was still busy and people eating tapas. The following lunchtime we tried to get in for something to eat but very busy and no seat (seating only at the bar). Food looked fab and everyone tucking in and chatting away. Mixed ages of people - one to definitely find again when we go back

Great sangria and vegetarian paella.. courteous and helpful owner..

This bar was an excellent place which was busy with locals for tapas and wine. You will find some unique tapas in this bar, for example, patata mala leche that we had for the first time. This place is in the centre of Malaga, the tapas selection is diverse and it is very popular with locals, kind of a meeting place for locals to catch up and socialise too, the delicious taste ambience and friendly staff all provides a very nice tapas experience.
