Lovely meal, great service by a charming waiter who gave a generous wine pour. The oxtail stew was delicious but the menu said it came with potatoes, peas and carrots. I guess fries can be listed as potatoes but I did not detect any peas or carrots. The Fabada Lo Gueno was very good .

We ordered tomato with avocado, patatas bravas and fried anchovies with lemon. All fresh and very delicious. Definitely recommend 🫠

Food it's delicious! Server is really kind and in Lo Güeno you'll find the soul of Malaga and Andalusia. It's lovely 😄🫶🏼

Fantastic food; great experience. Keep coming back to this place year after year.

Foods are delicious! We wasn’t expecting much before eating as we just randomly chose this restaurant but turns out it’s really good!! We ordered the black noodle + croquettes + pork skewers, all three dishes are fantastic! Especially the pork, very juicy and well flavoured（sadly I didn’t have a picture for it but we cleared the dish out)! Highly recommended🤍

Andrew Panicker

Loved the experience. Tried the mixed paella (seafood and meat) was delicious. Perfect quantity (rather more than enough) for 2 Gabriel who waited our table was enthusiastic and recommended the perfect dishes

Ruth Offen

Looking at the restaurant on a side street from the main street in the old town, one senses a bit of quiet off the beaten main track. The tapas were good, and the recommended wine was just what we wanted as it was the middle of the day. Highly recommended.

Loved the grilled artichoke, clam bean stew and revuelos roto with foie gras and etc. Service was friendly and efficient. Go earlier than Spanish lunch time to get a table without a reservation.

Jaime Chacoff

We stopped by for lunch. Although, the place was packed, the waiter managed easily fit us a table indoors. The menu is written in English and Spanish, it is very clear. The service is attentive.

Restaurante correcto para una comida tradicional. Pedimos flamenquín, conejo a la brasa y costillas de cerdo. En general, la comida estaba rica, sin más. En el caso de las costillas, el sabor a brasa era bastante intenso, hasta el punto de ocultar el sabor de la carne. El camarero que nos atendió en mesa tuvo un trato muy bueno, cercano y amable. Sin embargo, al salir quisimos reservar para otro día y el camarero que atendía las reservas, nos respondió de forma bastante borde,“eso iba a ser imposible”, lo que desentonó con la experiencia. La relación calidad-precio es normal tirando a alta. En conjunto, un sitio correcto, sin grandes pretensiones.

El bar es precioso, pero la comida si está de medio cachete. Como entrada pedimos la ensalada de tomate y anchoa, estaba decente. De ahí el pulpo a la gallega, el sabor del pulpo era cumplidor, pero la papa estaba sobrecocida y se sentía pastosa. La alcachofa con jamón la verdad muy rica. Y las vieiras con queso también deliciosas. Pero en los fuertes nos fallaron a todos. Yo pedí un entrecortado, que estaba bien cocido, pero le pusieron la sal disparejo y habían zonas que carecían mucho de sabor (en si el sabor tampoco era para volarte la cabeza) Las costillas de cordero no sabían a cordero. Y el costillar de cerdo también bastante mediocre. Una lástima porque el lugar está precioso 5/10

Buena comida,mejor de lo que me esperaba después de haber leído varias de las reseñas.Un poquito lento y descordinado.Sitio para repetir.

Muy recomendable. La atención es 100%. La comida muy rica pero el lagarto un poco seco

Comida buena pero hay sitios mejores y a un precio más competitivo. ✅ Comida casera. Carta bastante amplia e incluso con buena variedad de carnes maceradas. ❌ Precios bastante caros para lo que ofrecen. Por ejemplo, el pan y picos muy caros y sin preguntarte, los montados (montaditos de toda la vida) caros para el tamaño tan pequeño que tienen (sorprende que son muy pequeños), las carnes carísimas como para plantearse pedirlas, cualquier plato vale lo que un menú del día completo… Y el trato de los camareros tampoco es exquisito, ni nos ofrecieron un chupito ni nada con una cuenta de más de 100€… son detallitos que hay que cuidar o a lo mejor es que saben que van a tener gente sí o sí con tanto turismo… El ambiente bastante muy ruidoso que cuesta incluso hablar… Hay cosas que mejorar…

Sí estás por el centro de Málaga es un buen sitio para comer. La comida esta rica, pero por ejemplo la ensaladilla estaba sosa. Es un sitio donde puedes probar platos típicos de la zona. Lo que no me gustó es que tardaban mucho en servir entre platos y no estaban atentos, tenías que llamarles tú varias veces para que te atendieran y aún así tardaban en llevar las cosas a la mesa. Si vas con prisas no es recomendable ir. Pero si vas con tranquilidad es un buen sitio para comer en el centro.

Comimos allí cuatro personas de fuera, pedimos unas croquetas, unas vieiras, unas patatas y arroz con carabineros para cuatro(tres adultos y un niño), lo primero en destacar fue que el camarero nos podía haber informado de que alomejor era mucha comida, cero comunicación, la comida en si estaba buena, tampoco se puede decir buenísima, las patatas bravas si, pero todo se vio ensombrecido a la hora de pedir el postre para mí hijo, una tarta de chocolate que probamos y sabía rara y fijándome bien tenía moho......vergonzoso..... además otra cosa que me parece fatal es que con casi 200 euros q pagamos que te cobren el pan y sin avisar previamente......lo dicho...., el sitio es chulo pero no repetiría calidad precio me parece caro

Very nice food but on the expensive side. We had three "starters", mushrooms, croquettes and asparagus. The first two were quite nice and priced at 13 and 14 euros - a lot. The asparagus were 6 (six), with a tiny bit of jamon and cheese, priced at 15 euros - I believe this is way too much. They seem to have nice and well thought of recipes, as per the extra photos, but unfortunately today's experience means unfortunately I will not be coming back

Coco

Good food but bad service. we had the anchovies in vinegar, padron peppers, stuffed aubergine, beans with iberian ham and seafood paella. the paella was more wet than we expected but still tasted good - more like a risotto. the bread was not free and when we asked the waiter to remove this, his mood went sour and did not speak to us when serving us our food. Never had such bad service before!

We decided to come here based on a recommendation, but we were disappointed. When we ordered, the staff didn’t really want to help us with the choice. The food was just average, not the quality we expected. On top of that, they forgot to bring one of the dishes, and when we got the bill, it was already charged. The waiter admitted it, but still – make sure to check your bill so you don’t get overcharged.

Allyson Brooke

For the price, the food and service are just not there. We ordered the mixed paella and what a waste of 40 Euros. Don’t recommend.

Sara BADRI

I don’t recommend. Didn’t feel welcomed.. they know very little english.. We ordered paella ==> good but very very salty Fish was good, the sides meh We ordered grilled veggies, they were too oily :( It was too hot inside.. the AC didn’t seem to be working although they said they had AC.

Ordered Salmon and Fabado. All cold and black pudding casing in the dish. Very disappointed, will not be back.

Terrible experiencia. Estuvimos unos 50 minutos esperando que nos trajeran el último plato (solo pedimos raciones para picar) y nos lo trajeron mal (habíamos pedido boquerones al limón y nos trajeron boquerones tradicionales). El camarero me dijo “esto fue lo que pediste” y le dije que no, que le había pedido boquerones al limón a su compañero, el cual estaba al lado y afirmó. Se fue a cocina a pedir el plato correcto y volvió a los 30 minutos a decirme que lo sentía pero que no le quedaban más boquerones al limón. Lo cambiamos por unas habas salteadas con jamón, a lo cual estuvieron otros 20 minutos sin aparecer. Tuve que levantarme a reclamarlo en cocina y me dieron a entender que se les había olvidado apuntar la comanda. Un auténtico desastre, no tuvieron ningún gesto amable de compensación por hacernos esperar tanto y tratarnos así. Este camarero muy grosero, estuvo discutiendo con todo el personal y hablando a gritos con todos. Es uno de gafas alto. No recomiendo este sitio aunque el jamón estaba bueno y las habas también

Usualmente cuando la comida está tan regular, el buen servicio resalta...sin embargo ni lo uno ni lo otro...y más allá de tener culturas diferentes, creo que la educación es universal. El mesero que nos atendió (un señor mayor, gordito, de gafas) fue muy cortante cuando le pedimos recomendaciones, llegando a la grosería, era impaciente y no se interesó en lo absoluto en ayudarnos a elegir. En cuanto a la comida...solo puedo decir que no volvería. La paella no sabía mal, pero las carnes fueron tan regulares y básicas, que el precio simplemente no lo vale. Súper condimentado todo. No lo recomendaría.

Nefasto, estuvimos hace unos días y tuvimos que marcharnos tras pasar una hora y media sentados y no traernos ni un plato. Los reclamamos varias veces y aparte del descaro de los camareros que gritaban quejándose de la demora sin buscar soluciones ni dar explicación cuando decidimos irnos ni se disculparon. No sé el problema que tendrían pero al igual que nosotros se marcharon otras mesas más por el mismo motivo. Una pena que con el nombre que tienen pierdan clientes en estos tiempos con tanta competencia, no volveremos con seguridad.

Algo está pasando en este restaurante, de un tiempo a esta parte , mal servicio , hablan a gritos entre los camareros , en él se Strachan pudimos presenciar hasta una fuerte discusión de los camareros. Pedimos fideos negros , eran espaguetis l cortados, estaban fríos , sin sabor , las setas y vieiras poco cocinadas(crudas) , la carne fría , dura y el plato bastante escasos , lo Único que llegó caliente a la mesa , fue la cerveza . Una pena , antes era un sitio exquisito.

We stopped by on December 25th to watch the Málaga Christmas light show and decided to have some tapas and drinks beforehand. There were many empty tables available. From the start, the waiter was uninviting toward us as two guys and gave us a dirty look when we arrived. We were dressed appropriately in blazers and did nothing out of place. I had to wait and ask him if we could have a table for 2 and he just said "choose what you want". He avoided coming to our table, and when he did, he was very curt. During the brief interaction at our table, we asked for a cocktail menu and he said that he did not have one and he suggested that we might want to try another restaurant down the mall instead!!! I responded by saying, “I don’t think we are wanted here.” He just stood there and said nothing. We left. While leaving, I clearly said that I was going to make a google review and I turned and took a picture of the restaurant, luckily, the rude waiter was the man in the picture also! The experience made us feel profiled and unwelcome. Completely unacceptable way to treat potential customers. I would never go to the restaurant again and anyone visiting Malaga, choos one of the may others.

This was extremely bad. Our first holiday since my husband had died. We have very memories not just of Malaga but of many of the tapas bars. I came here with my two sons a year after his death to commemorate as we have very fond memories here This was an absolute disgrace. If it wasn’t for my son holding me back I would have been extremely rude. Uncharacteristically we were shoved off into a restaurant area and left for over an hour without food or wine. We were charged 30€ for a poor wine and had to wait. Eventually we left, the young staff were apologetic but there was an extremely rude elderly gentleman with blue glasses and a flash wrist watch who was rude to both my sons and to myself. He was extremely Rude to the other customers- pensioners- and I’m very glad I left. Please do not come here. They do not respect their customers. I feel so upset. They ruined the first day with my family in Malaga since their father had passed and they treated us so badly.

Shock horror: you go to a restaurant and expect to be fed. Perhaps that’s too progressive an attitude for this southern Spanish establishment. Mañana was very much the order of the day here. This isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve spent plenty of time in the region and would happily sit in the anarchist bar in Nerja with a few beers and at least get a decent sandwich. The waiter was gruff — fine, par for the course — but something was clearly wrong. The family next to us hadn’t been served either and were politely asking if their food had disappeared into the ether. The waiter was extremely rude to them… Normal?… One overpriced bottle of wine later (and being from Glasgow, my patience isn’t infinite): nothing. An hour passed. No bread. No explanation. Eventually, some uncooked, frozen, king-sized prawns arrived for my brother. They were immediately sent back. The waiting staff, individually, seemed fine. But if the guy in the blue glasses hadn’t been so monumentally rude , we might have given them another … five minutes. It’s fried food. What exactly is hard about that? We paid for our drinks and left — taking another couple with us. Shame on The Guardian for reviewing this place well. As it transpired - there are two side to the restaurant. They deliberately stick tourists into one corner and a - ignore/ b - charge over the odds, where no tapas is available, only bumped up prices for main courses. It was frankly and insult. We will not be back. Es un robo. No — es un chiste de mal gusto. *** in light of the response to this review - “due to the extremely high volume of orders, we are unable to provide the service our customers expect.” Ah yes… “high volume prevents us from meeting expectations” — a classic excuse, wrapped in the faintest whiff of Spanish defensiveness. Maybe next time just say “we’re full” instead of taking on more customers and then whining about it. And if anyone doubts your charm, just watch how your staff humiliated the pensioner at the next table. Perfectly on brand. Believe me. We came here to remember our father. This was an insult beyond comprehension. All the best ***

Alex Messenger

Their food may be nice but it never turned up. We were hustled into a side corner, order abruptly taken, given a very mediocre bottle of wine for 30 euros then left in a wasteland for an hour. When we chased our starters, we got slung a single plate of soggy fried anchovies to keep us quiet, followed by the most incredible frozen king prawns. We left and had to pay for this. You have a better option: don’t go.

Angelique Boumans

Don't go here!!!! The food was oke but we got mislead and blamed for it too. Mistake by waiter ends up saying its our mistake. Ended up threatend with "if you dont pay, the waiter has to pay it himself" and " the owner called the police" ...... we never said we don't want to pay but this was crazy. We order tapas and they charged us with the bread we didn't have and charged the full dish of salmon instead of the salmon tapas. We don't know what it looks like but in there opinion we should have known. We wanted to come to a solution to pay for one full dish salmon but still they said the Police were coming. In the end they agreed with me but this is not fair. So watch out here. To avoid any trouble just don't go here.
