We really enjoyed this place. The service was very fast and attentive, not something we are used to in Spain. We picked a few things, sadly we didn't really tried any of their specialities. The food was very good and simple. Nothing to write home about, but again, we didn't tried their specials, so that's on us. Would definitely recommend

Probably our favourite place that we ate at during 7 days in Malaga. We ate here twice. We've been to Cadiz a few times and their Cadiz styled food is great. Tortillitas are good as you'd expect but the stews and specials are excellent too. The homemade desserts were lovely. Friendly lads serving. Drinks were sensibly priced to especially the manzanilla.
