Dinner 2 persons without Reservation on a Saturday night. Excellent welcome, we see immediately that everything follows at high V speed, no dead time... We settled on the outdoor high tables reserved for tapas lovers, mostly based on seafood. The service is good, which is nice for those who are not fans of the lengths between dishes. Clientele mostly local. Our average cart was €25 per person, including 5 tapas and a mariscos ration per person as well as drinks ( ++ ). Good seafood cuisine, tasty and varied. The small downside: parking spaces are not legion, but with a stroke of luck... In conclusion, a good address for seafood lovers, in the form of tapas or main dishes.

Had a great meal several times. Delicious fish that is unaffordable in the Netherlands but is prepared super tasty and fresh here. Tapas can only be ordered inside and there is also plenty of room outside. It doesn't look very cozy outside, but the food is really good.

The food is good, of course. But we didn't get what we ordered. Stressed staff who didn't take the time to take orders because they seemed to think it was a pain that we didn't speak Spanish but English. The waitress ran off after only one of us ordered so had to call her back, very strange. We got more food than we ordered (ordered half a grilled fish filet, it came a full portion + half!) and the rice we wanted never came. Due to language barriers, we couldn't complain but paid and left. Didn't even get a hello or good evening from the staff. Definitely a top spot for locals.

Fresh seafood and fish served simply and quickly. Excellent house white wine. Service is friendly & efficient. Tasty tapas served with drinks. Recommend the calamari, the gambas inferno & gambas spicy brochette

Bad treatment on the part of the waiter, he made us get up from a clean table, forcing us to sit at a small table for those who were there and addressing him in a defiant manner, bad speech and bad ways of looking. Obviously we left, it is to be expected when you give responsibility to a child. We will not return.

A big disappointment . First waiter edged without any courtesy first dressed salad two hours ago. Octopus past many days. And to top it off, anchovies with fried fly, at no time was there any kindness or apology from anyone, so I paid for it and left, but it was a great disappointment for everything, with the enthusiasm that I was going for. Let's see if the owners take note.

We went for dinner, sat outside and ordered drinks. When my wine arrived it had bits in the glass (possibly cork but it didn’t taste corked) and this was the case with the 2nd glass too. The mango starter was awful - very over ripe and mushy. I ordered fried squid for my main course pointing to the table next door who had the same and asked if theirs was a half or full size so that I knew which size to order. What I received was baby squid, very different to the dish I had ordered but they refused to take it away and they charged us for it. We asked them to take it away several times but they refused and I ended up asking them to bring a second dish - the one I had actually ordered. They charged us for this too. The rest of the meal came as ordered until I pointed at my wine glass and asked for a glass of rosé (in Spanish) - I added that I would like secco (dry wine) and also pointed to my husband’s beer bottle and requested another. What came some 10 minutes later - not the drinks we’d ordered, but a plate of fried rosado fish (the same name as the word for rosé). Maybe they thought I was asking for my fish to be dry - I am sure they were trying it on! This time we refused to accept it but it appeared on the bill!. We politely advised we would not be paying for it as we did not order it and of course we were already paying for a dish we didn’t order. When some other customers left they had created a great deal of mess, much of which was all over the floor and not one of the 5 members of staff made any attempt to clean it up - they were not busy! This was an incredibly disappointing evening and would not recommend the restaurant to anyone.

It was honestly horrible. Bad food, doesn’t taste anything special. Served in 3 minutes. It was cold and the quality was terrible. I would not recommend it and will never return.

We were 6 adults, ordering 6 different main dishes, and only one of us ate the food. (He was I’ll all night, and the day after). The other 5 of us had a bite each, and then decided to leave it. The Merluza was over cooked, a shoesole would have been more tender. The other dishes was deep fried, and the batter was thick like a bread. Big fat pieces, with almost no fish in it. Absolutely terrible. We would give I 0 stars, but had to press one....

Well we lunch at this restaurant and the food was average but i think they should do better once is in a coast town. The service something like fast food concept and looks like they don't notice what u say to much, because they also brought our orders in double. The restaurant is very big and busy so always will be noisy and lots of people moving around. But is worth a try.

Amazing food gets very busy, have to queue at times, well worth it though xx Frequented by locals which is always a good sign. Tapas are served on the tall tables. If you want plates there served anywhere in the restaurant.

We ate here on the final night of our short break in Velez Malaga. The service was amazing as was the food. If you enjoy fish and shellfish this is definitely the place to go in Velez. Very reasonably priced too, can highly recommend

The restaurant was very busy, we received 2 of our dishes but had to wait on a third.The food was good but the service was a bit casual. We ordered wine and had to remind the waiter twice, the last food dish took 3 reminders. Disappointed
