Big portions. We ordered sardines "espeto", paella for 2 persons and dorada (500+ grams) and shared everything among 3 people and were full. Total of 75€ for food and drinks. Everything was super tasty and the staff was nice.

Estás en la Malagueta y quieres ir a un buen chiringuito, comerte un buen espeto y estar rodeado de buen ambiente. Fácil, ven aquí sin dar más vueltas. Trato cercano con los camareros, muy atentos. La comida buenísima, el pescaíto bueno de toda la vida en la playa. Volveré cada verano, sin duda.
