"We made an online reservation for a specific time, but unfortunately, when we arrived, there was no table available. The waiter told us to wait 10–15 minutes, but we ended up standing for 35 minutes before finally deciding to leave. The next day we tried again without a reservation — we still had to wait a bit. It seems they have some difficulty seating groups of five people. As for the food, the experience was mixed. The grilled octopus was really delicious, and the baby squid were also good, though part of the dish was too salty while another part lacked seasoning. The paella was, unfortunately, the first one in Spain that I didn’t enjoy — the shrimp were unpleasant, and the rice was just average. For the first time, I couldn’t finish my paella, so I wouldn’t recommend it. The tuna tataki was also rather underwhelming. On a positive note, the waitress kindly brought us a complimentary piece of cake — it was delicious and left a nice final impression."

"A nice location with inside and patio seating. I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the food. I ordered fried baby squid, Spanish omelette, sardines and one meat empanada. All had great flavour and arrived hot and beautiful! I was there for an early dinner and waited at least 20 minutes to get a drink, as then another 20 minutes order . I actually had t go and find the waiter and ask if I could order after 20 minutes. All in all t was a great experience and reasonably priced. I would recommend having dinner here while in Malaga."

"Brian and Gabi (I hope I spelled their name correctly) was looking after us and everything was absolutely fantastic. The food was served within minutes, it was delicious,tasty and fresh. The guys were really polite and they were very patient with my poor Spanish :) Thank you so much for having and looking after us."

"I ordered the Iberian Pork Chicks with honey cane sauce, and I have to admit, it was good. The service was okay, the interior was pleasant, and the prices were reasonable. Overall, it's one of those places you can visit more often when you need it."
