    Popular place between locals. During busiest time will need to wait a bit for a table but it totally worth waiting. All kinds of fried meats, veggies, seafood and fishes. Very reasonable prices, good service. We had various 5 dishes and 2 glasses of wine, payed 25€.

    An amazing traditional place where find local food and enjoy a real Spanish mood. Plates and drinks are very good and cheap at the same time. Good balance between money and food. Extremely suggested to everyone who, like me, love to try traditional tasty food

    It’s a definitely 5 stars restaurant! A gem 💎 in the small town. Food: 2/2 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ fresh materials and the way of cooking, i can only say “amazing!” Service: 1/1 star ⭐️ friendly staff. Price: 1/1 star ⭐️ you will be surprised when you receive the bill. Everything is so well serviced with a very reasonable price. Location: 1/1 star ⭐️ not very hard to find it, just follow google map, it will navigate you there correctly.

    Wonderful food and value for money - definitely the best we experienced when we were on holiday in Nerja. Service was a bit sketchy. OK so maybe I'm just a *Guiri* who expects people to be served in the order they arrive at the restaurant, or that when you catch the waiter's eye they at least acknowledge you. To be fair, when they did pay attention to us they were excellent. And yes, I would definitely go back tomorrow if I could

    Very authentic place. Full of locals having loud conversations. Lots of laughing! Mainly seafood which was very tasty. Also some chicken dishes which was also very good.

    Definitely try this place. If you're not a fish lover, don't worry, they have meat and salads too. Great selection of seafood, all freshly cooked and served quickly. Only gave it an overall 4 cause there's no coffee, but I understand why. Book in advance. Despite being pretty big, it fills up fast.

    Tapas with a modern twist. Menu is not extensive, which did promise tasty food. Lots of locals eating here from 21pm. We really liked the food, especially their home made croquettes. This can be daily of different ingredient, we had aubergine croquettes which was sublime. However, the prices are above average and the atmosphere is so so (terrace situated next to a street with lots of cars and inside minimal cosy vibe). Best is to do a sharing concept so that you can try various bites & flavours together

    The food here is excellent, a real Authentic Spanish restaurant. The tomatoes are delicious, as is the seabass, battered prawns, homemade chips, calamari is melt in the mouth. Very reasonable too. We go here every time we are Nerja and will be back.

    Food seems fine, as I Spaniard myself I can see the quality but the service was horrendous, slow, half of the order never arrived but it was added on the bill that had to be edited before paying, over ,€20 between drinks and food we never got and it seemed that the issue occured to different tables as the next 2 to us had to ask for items to be removed as they never got them. Was hard to enjoy the experience when having to ask up to ,3 times for stuff and still didn't get one single thing I reminded them and that was in Spanish... definitely would chose somewhere else

    Delicious lunch, very local atmosphere and spacious covered outside dining area. Was too bad the open bbq was closed for and that Sunday/Monday their seafood selection is limited (due to markets not being open).

  • 5/5 RO 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh fish, very well done. Tastes like homemade food. Delicious and fairly priced. Very friendly and attentive service :)

  • 5/5 Zlatan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing seafood tapas, and abundance of them. Drinks are very cheap, but also good. We had beer, wine and vermouth. Cannot recommend more!

  • 5/5 Carol A. 1 year ago on Google
    The most amazing authentic Spanish Tapa Bar / Restaurant. Just a 5 min walk off the main square in Nerja. 100% Recommend of you want authenticity. Very reasonably priced. The tapa bar brings out free tapas with every beer, soft drink and or water you purchase. Impossible to spend your money here. Full of locals, incredible atmosphere. Family friendly and the staff could not have been more welcoming.

    We were lucky to get table for 6 at 9pm on a Sunday, recommend booking or arriving before 9pm. Very attentive service. All the food arrived promptly and was excellent quality. As per many others who have visited, we included the Sardines in our selection and we were not disappointed, delicious and you can see them cooking on an open fire pit. Ambience is vibrant, lots of tables filled with locals and tourists. Everyone well looked after.

👍👍 Extremely warm hearted service and honest food. Try the special tuna version as a starter! And the only fresh Paella in Nerja, because you have to pre-order and they really cook it fresh for you…and you will taste it. Wine is also delicious. We visited „La Puntilla“ 3 times and truly recommend this...
