Manuel LorenzoOctober 14, 2012Massive crowded with tourists but worth it, specially if you sit outside
Кузьменко ДенисMay 17, 2016Cold meals, bad prepared fish without any taste. Won't recommend the place. Be aware when ordering something on terrace you'll get extra 15% to the total price. Fresh tuna seems to be served from can.
Boris BeckerApril 14, 2017The serving is really slow even when they are not busy. They call "the tank" to a glass of beer(too pricy for the city and the size). The atun is not fresh. Lot more say. There are better places.
Alexey ZiyangirovMay 1, 2018If you enjoy fish burned in tons of oil, come and don’t forget your puke bucket. The food is disgusting
Maren StangelandJune 29, 2019High expectations but disappointed. The food was good but served VERY unevenly. We were brought to an area of the restaurant which was rather uncosy, looked kind of like an old bathroom
Karen De BaetsAugust 20, 2016Autentic , nice place to visit with friends and kids. Great Tapas and drinks. The paella is top! We visited El Pimpi during la Feria the atmosphere was great!
Brandon BurnsApril 5, 2019Everything is terrible. The food gets a zero, and the service gets -1000 points. There are so many bad reviews on Foursquare, how it got an 8.9 is beyond me. The algorithm must be broken. ABORT!!
BivitriJune 25, 2017Outside lunch was amazing. The fried dish with various fish is really good, same as the shrimp mango salad (both pictured). The croquetas were not that good.
Pavlos RoidisJanuary 5, 2017Excellent ambience but food is overpriced and just above average for Andalucian stardards
- Elin GunnarssonJune 11, 2017The atmosphere is nice but the food is nothing special. The drinks are nice though so I would recommend to go here after you have eaten.
Elke Van HooghtenJuly 5, 2017Nice location and fast service. The dishes are small and quit expecive for what you get. Not what I expected.
Chris R (thechristophe)February 12, 2022Food was random. Limited vegetarian options, random portion sizes and needed to chase for the rest of our order.
Mavis ChenApril 29, 2019Really disappointing that it has high score, but the food quality just really bad. The restaurant is huge, and looking professional, but not aligned with the food they serve, Not recommended.
Lars Anders FlingtorpSeptember 3, 2017Very nice place, but the waiter was an asshole and we left before we ordered food👎
Pieter W.February 15, 2019Very crowdy, too touristy for my taste. The food was ok; the service was fast but not friedly
FrankFebruary 22, 2019Too commercial and popular to my taste. It was good, but prefer something smaller and authentic.
Malte L.February 23, 2024Not a fan. Seems to be one of those places tourist frequent. Deep fried food. To my mind: Money is better spent elsewhere.
Yasemin FidanAugust 28, 2017Over rated tourist trap ! The food is mediocre . They serve pre- cooked stuff thats why their famous service is too quick. To cut the long story short ; stay away .
Daniel MartinAugust 14, 2019Overpriced and overrated in comparison with some of the amazing places in Malaga. Tourist trap. Don’t do it
