Espectacular, los espetos están buenísimos. Todo lo que probamos estaba muy bien, muy típico de Málaga. El ambiente es auténtico y agradable, ideal para disfrutar de buena comida cerca del mar. Repetiremos.

Si no buscas lujo ni tranquilidad pero te gusta comer bien, un trato afable y una playa al lado, a buen precio, este es un magnífico lugar. El único pero, el aparcamiento.
