  • 5/5 David D. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved the place. Ask for their assortment of different meats - this is the best option for a company of 2-3 persons. The steak we had was 10 out of 10. Definitely, recommend the place.

    (Translated by Google) Local with a special charm and tasty meats made of coal, highly recommended. The only one but it is the price of the contramuslo. (Original) Local con un especial encanto y carnes sabrosas hechas al carbón,muy recomendable. El único pero es el precio del contramuslo.

    Had the same my meal 6 months ago as you can see in the pictures, lots more meat and less than half the amount of food for the same price. I asked why the difference and the answer was.... the first meal was too much on the plate!

    We share a Parrillada for 2 and it was amazing! I am from Argentina and I can confirm this asado was authentic. It was served with chimichurri and we drank the house wine which was nice and refreshing. We had mollejas as an entre because they are delicious but pricy as everywhere 😋 Will come back!

    The best restaurant in town! And I don’t put that lightly. One of my favorite restaurants in the world, coming from an avid traveler. We got the provleta picante con tomato asado y jalapeño. It was the perfect size for two people and simply delicious. We then got the parillada por dos personas and when I say everything on here was perfectly cooked and succulent, I mean every piece! The chorizo was a stand out favorite, and I actually loved the blood pudding. I’m usually a hard no, but this one has the perfect texture and flavor. Highly highly recommend! Staff was also nice and charming.

    (Translated by Google) Incredible quality of service, spectacular food and the treatment of ten. Due to the Covid-19, it closed during the pandemic but it is already open and I must say that cleanliness and hygiene measures are on par with the dishes they serve. A wonder, I recommend it (Original) Increíble calidad del servicio, la comida espectacular y el trato de diez. Debido al Covid-19, cerró durante la pandemia pero ya está abierto y debo decir que la limpieza y las medidas higiénicas están a la altura de los platos que sirven. Una Maravilla, lo recomiendo

    The best beef we ever had! We came here last year and this year we couldn't wait to come back. We got an empanada as starter, and the rump steak which comes with grilled vegetables and chimichurri. It was all so tasty, I can't even find words to describe it! Beware, the portions are huge, very good value for money. The service was also perfect, fast, friendly and with good recommendations. It's for sure a must go if you're in the area, we fully recommend it! PS: last year we also got the lemon chicken and entraña, we also recommend these!

    One of the best restaurants in Málaga! The meat is great, super tender! Staff is friendly and welcoming. Amazing quality price ratio. Please try the entraña, ojo de bife y corazón de cuadril. Highly recommended!

    My mouth is watering remembering how delicious their food is. Great food and friendly staff working there. We spoke with the owner for awhile and it just made us love the place even more. It’s no frills and just delicious food. Despite being meat heavy there are a lot of veggie options. The steak is prepared in such a great quality way and comes with so much more than just the meat. I’d recommend the sweet spicy provolone grilled cheese. I loved it and wish I could replicate it at home. Absolutely a must to visit here - it’s so different from all the other restaurants in the best way!

    Amazing local restaurant; one of the best grill restaurants we've enjoyed in a long time. We've greatly enjoyed the rump and skirt steaks, together with a beautiful vegetable dish. Friendly service, great location and atmosphere. Price is very reasonable.

    Environment: you know that feeling when you just think you made it to your friend’s place being serviced by him? It’s this place! Food and Drinks: Savour the buttery chunk of meat that just melts in your mouth and pour some of the house red wine. It’s a match made heaven. Make sure to have it medium-rare. Service: Smiling service that infects the soul. LATEST REVIEW: 201710

  • 5/5 Derya Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Argentina food. If you are looking for a different cuisine to try, here will be the best option. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ate Rib-eye steak which serves with grilled vegetable and flank meat with fresh salad. Both of them were delicious and fantastic!

  • 5/5 Tabitha S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an Argentinian restaurant located in the heart of Malaga. I dined here for dinner with a friend in June, we sat outside on a small table located in the alley and it was a lovely atmosphere - Highly recommend the mixed grill for two! It’s excellent value and very delicious! The waitress was lovely, unfortunately she didn’t know much English and we didn’t know much Spanish, however we managed just fine in the end. The food didn’t take too long either. I got two glasses of white wine for €3 each along with my meal which were also great value and well as tasty. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Ella O. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Argentine food. Excellent prices. Generous portions. Lots of gluten free options. We had steak, mollejas, and grilled veggies, all were very tasty. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Torgeir A. 1 year ago on Google
    When I lived in Malaga, this was my favorite place, together with friends and colleagues. It's now 10 years ago, but I still remember the good times and especially the good food. When I BBQ at home I compare my results towards what I remembered being served here. Coming back 10 years later, it still delivers the best steaks i ever had.

  • 5/5 Graham B. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow... Great place for steaks. I had the skirt steak cooked rare with a nice Rioja. Really good! It gets busy at the weekends but didn'tind sitting at one of their counter seats. Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 L G. 2 years ago on Google
    A must if you like meat. All the types of steaks are cooked at perfection, and they are juicy and super tasty. I would recommend to try also their grilled provoleta cheese, in particular the Dulce Picor. People who work there are super friendly and prices are reasonable. Definitely a place to be recommended.

  • 4/5 Clyde B. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food, very good service and well maintained toilet facilities. If you are a red meat eater, this place is for you. Generous portions and not expensive. Bonnie and Clyde.

  • 5/5 Jack C. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible. Almost a joke how good this place is. If you're looking for great food worth its price, you must go here. We shared the BBQ for 2 and it was brilliant. The morcilla was a standout. We're only here in Malaga for a week and are already talking about going back for lunch. The chimichurri should be bottled up and sold. Service excellent, and the music being played inside was exclusively bangers. Just go!

    Fantastic! The steak was soft as butter and the dessert absolutely delicious. Staff were very nice and welcoming. I absolutely recommend it!

  • 5/5 JJ R. 1 year ago on Google
    I almost went to a Michelin Stared restaurant when I came across El Farolito. I am glad I came. So down to earth. I would call it a hole in the wall, which is why I enjoyed it. It was a great setting for a cold night. The food was great and the lady that took care of us was super welcoming.

  • 4/5 Stephen P. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a GF-friendly restaurant. Wonderful grilled goat cheese and provision. The grilled steaks and pork we also very good. The house red wine was well worth the price.

  • 5/5 Hugo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very fastly prepared, and the meat was awesome, and served at the perfect temperature (we ate the bbq for two).

  • 5/5 Gal S. 1 year ago on Google

    Absolutely loved El Farolito and their team. They were incredibly caring, attentive to details and us, as guests. The food was awesome, we enjoyed everything we ordered. Great experience, planning to come more to try other dishes and steak varieties. The people below who rated it as great — I agree 100%!! ❤️❤️❤️

  • 4/5 M P. 7 months ago on Google
    I ordered medium-rare rib-eye steak. The taste was very good and I really liked the plate (but it was definitely not medium-rare) Unfortunately, it is very expensive in comparison to other Argentinian places. It is a small place and I was sitting outside - so I cannot say something about atmosphere. Service was good. I liked it but I don't think I will visit again.

  • 5/5 Rob B. 6 months ago on Google
    Started with the grilled cheese, jalapeño and chilli jam to share followed by the bbq grille for two with a side of tomatoes all washed down with a large glass of Rioja. WOW best meal of the week and good value also.

  • 5/5 Agnieszka B. 9 months ago on Google

    Excellent steak house and BBQ by far the best in Malaga. Owner was very helpful in the ordering process and explained everything. The BBQ platter for 2 people @€22 is exceptional value for money. Highly recommended. Will be back soon.

  • 1/5 Javi L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The day we went, at 10 pm ... they didn't have half of the menu, which in itself is not very varied. And terrible attention from the waiter. In fact, we went to another nearby restaurant, to finish dinner, because of their poor attention. (Original) El día que fuimos, a las 22.00 h... no tenían la mitad de la carta, que ya de por sí, no es muy variada. Y pésima atención del camarero. De hecho, nos fuimos a otro restaurante cercano, a terminar de cenar, por su mala atención.
