Best Pintxos I've eaten in a long time. Self service fir cold items and waiting staff tempt you with delicious hot options. Count up your little skewers fir the price. Add delicious red wine and it makes fir a lovely evening

You pick you own tapas from the counter and keeps all your sticks for final amount

I just love this place! You can either sit at a table and wait for the waiters to come with tapas and ask you which one you want or you can go inside, take a plate and serve yourself. The price is calculated by the type of stick (look inside for the price). Delicious food, great service and brilliant pricing idea!

I had the pleasure of visiting an amazing tapas bar in the charming old town of Málaga, thanks to a wonderful local friend who introduced me to it. I absolutely adored the unique concept of having tapas brought directly to you, with the price reflecting how much you enjoyed. The service was truly excellent, making the experience all the more delightful!

Visited three times while in Malaga. A great selection of hot and cold pintxo with cool fresh beer. Staff were great and very helpful. Can't wait to visit again.

I love this kind of toothpick tapas bars and was excited to get my hands on a few items of their wide selection. Great tapas accompanied by some good red wine, an absolute recommendation.

I called in here for a few pintxos and a cool caña on Sunday afternoon. The selection is pretty impressive, with some tasty choices available from both the self-serve area as well as the hot pintxos being brought around straight from the kitchen (the fritter containing asparagus was beautiful!). The staff were helpful too. Will happily come back in.

Love this place, it's a buffet where all the food have a little stick in. You pay after you have eaten, they then count your sticks and tell you the bill. We liked all off it, then we saw the dessert buffet... we were full but we found our dessert stomach and had a little more to eat. Fun concept.

Quiet evening when I was there but great help yourself tapas (€1:50-3:50) and occasional hot options that the waiters bring to your table to tempt you (similarly priced) Good wine €3:50

Went to this place 3 days out of 4. Great food, very friendly, would definitely recommend. I’m terrible at taking of photos of food; the pork/mushroom sauce /balsamic was glorious. As was the prawn tartlette. Thank you x

Great place if you just want a no hassle snack. Here's how it works. Sit down and they will ask you if you want a drink. They bring a plate(or you grab one from the counter) take any of the cold pinxtos you want from the counter and they come round with various hot ones. The price is based on the stick shape and is illustrated on the walls. I found it tasty and a quick way to make sure I was getting some food!

I really enjoyed this restaurant. It's a great concept of self service cold tapas at the bar and the lovely staff walk around with freshly cooked tapas, and explain what everything is and you can either say yes you want them or no! The bill is calculated from the sticks that are attached to the tapas. Really good value for money. I will go back!

Great location in the city for a nice lunch or dinner. Friendly and helpful staff. The pinxtos was lovely. We particularly enjoyed the crab and pate. The Russian salad was nice- quite mild flavours. We also had a lovely salmorejo. Finished the meal off with a nice sweet pistachio and cream cheese pinxtos. Would recommend

Our first few hours roaming around the old town Malaga and we are getting hungry. What a terrible place ! Just too many choices of where to eat. It’s just too much ! Decisions, decisions, decisions ! So we sat at an outside table at this inviting looking establishment and we were NOT sorry that we did. Smiling, happy to see you, friendly people working here and the food was delicious. The beer and wine is tasty and very reasonably priced. The worst part was after you pick from their large selection of tapas they come to your table with more temptations of freshly made morsels from heaven !

CYY

Delicious & affordable pinchos! I love their chilled tomato soup, it was so delicious! Other than those on display at the bar, there are freshly made pinchos, where waitress will bring and ask each table if they want to eat it. Do go earlier (before 8pm) so to be able to get a table and avoid dinner crowd.

Cerca de Larios tenemos esta buena opción de buenos pintxos variados y cerveza Victoria. El matrimonio está espectacular, pero en general bastante buenos. Pedimos una ración de calamares y eran las típicas anillas, pero por 10,50 y esa cantidad no te pueden dar calamar nacional. Muy buen servicio, las camareras muy amables y profesionales.

Bar con terraza. Eliges los pinchos (fríos o calientes) que quieras y luego te cobran según los palillos que tengas. El precio de los pinchos varía. Los camareros también se pasean con bandejas de pinchos para que no te tengas que levantar. La bebida se pide al camarero. El trato del personal fue bueno. Estaba todo muy bueno. Dim duda alguna una buena opción para comer o picar algo en pleno centro de Málaga.

Reseña: La Taberna del Pintxo La Taberna del Pintxo es una experiencia gastronómica que combina calidad, rapidez y variedad en pleno centro. Su concepto de barra autoservicio es práctico y dinámico: eliges los pintxos que más te llaman la atención, llenas tu plato y a disfrutar. La oferta es amplia y bien pensada, con opciones que van desde mariscos frescos hasta carnes sabrosas. Los montaditos son una delicia; en particular, el de pimientos con anchoas es brutal y se lleva la ovación. Además, no faltan opciones calientes como frituras, ensaladas y otros platos que complementan la experiencia. Lo mejor? Buena calidad a precios razonables, lo que hace de este lugar una parada ideal para tapear sin sacrificar sabor ni frescura. Perfecto para quienes buscan una comida rápida pero memorable. Recomendado!

La verdad que muy sorprendido. Quién iba a decir que en esta zona te puedes encontrar con un bar de pintxos. Siguiendo la tradición de los palillos para la cuenta pero curiosa adaptación, al estilo de la subasta de los platos, pasan con pintxos calientes ofreciéndote por si te animas, la verdad que curioso, el sitio muy chulo.

Estuvimos comiendo. Me han gustado mucho los pintxos, mucha variedad y muy buenos. Se paga dependiendo del tipo de palillo que tenga el pintxos. También pedimos un plato de brocheta de pollo que estaba muy buena. Sin embargo, los calamares no nos gustaron, no sabían a nada. Al principio, cuando había poca gente, muy buena atención, pero según se fueron llenando las mesas, tardaron mucho en atendernos y en cobrarnos.

Estuvo bien! Tienen sistema de autoservicio en montaditos y postres, cada quien toma de la vitrina lo que deseea y al final te cobran de acuerdo al número de palillos en tu plato, eso me pareció chévere. Pagamos 10€ por una cerveza, un tinto de verano y dos montaditos de muy buen sabor y tamaño

Peter Laursen

Very delicious tapas and a big assortment and all I tried was very good. Comming back to try the rest😃 The staff was quick, smiling and helpfull. Don't like the seating, would prefer a proper chair.

La comida (tapas y platos) está buena pero es muy justa de cantidad para el precio que tiene. (Tapa de croquetas 3,5 € y son dos croquetas minúsculas; plato de rissoto 14€ y es la cantidad normal de un primer plato en un menú, pan para 3 personas 4€ y eran 5 trozos pequeñísimo...) El servicio correcto pero no amable y un poco acelerado. Comimos dentro y la barra estaba todo el rato atareada con platos, vasos y demás haciendo bastante ruido y gritando los números de las mesas.

Pinchos ricos, pero en la terraza casi no sirven calientes. Fui a pedirlos y me los negaron, diciendo que había que esperar en las mesas. A las mesas de la terraza nunca llegan los calientes. Camareros muy majos, camareras muy antipáticas.

El pan de los pintxos blando, los rellenos no están mal, pero si has comido pintxos alguna vez, pues eso, que allí no irías... pocas opciones frías (recogieron un expositor) servicio de una de las camareras bastante caótico (se equivocaba todo el rato y comunicación con nuestra mesa 0). Nos dijo que ya no sacaban más pintxos porque habia poca gente y por no malbaratar y nos comentó lo que les quedaba. Sorpresa cuando empezaron de nuevo a sacar pintxos que no nos habían ofrecido pero que ya no pudimos pedir porque estábamos llenos... No volvería .

Young female waitress, unsmiling, abrupt, no eye contact, obviously in the wrong job. Tapas good and beer ok, good atmosphere but experience tainted by greeting (or lack of it!)

Vamos seguido con la familia y amigos que nos visitan en Málaga, pero hace poco tuvimos una experiencia desagradable en Enero 2026. No había pinxos fríos y calientes solo se podía ordenar con demora. Las meseras unos totales ROBOTS sin expresión ni simpatía, les pedimos si podíamos unir dos mesas porque no estábamos cómodos y no nos dejó. Aprecien en la foto la cantidad de espacio vacío que había y no nos dejaron. Dejaremos de ir por un tiempo porque no nos gustó el trato último ni la atención para nada.

We hoped for a lovely pintxhos and nice flavours. Unfortunately this was an unpleasent surprise. There were nearly uncooked ”patatas bravas” with disgusting sauce, the whole dish was so awful that we couldn’t even eat. The undercooked fries were eatable since they washed away the tastes of pintxhos, which looked quite decent, but speacially the tuna and tortilla ones tasted bad. The service wasn’t good either. This was not the worst pintxhos experience, but in the bottom 3.

When we came with a little dog - they just took our order. Afterwards they DIDN’T allow us to use a bathroom!!! So we had to go away, but they pushed us to pay for the order we didn’t even eat/ dri…

La atención es fatal. Tienes que perseguir a la gente para que te atiendan. Lo peor es que tienen una política de no dividir la cuenta, cuando hice un cumpleaños allí fue un desastre porque además también les da flojera explicar o contar cuánto cuesta cada cosa. Y las cereza del postre es que después que nos tomamos todo el tiempo para ver cuánto debía cada quien, nos dijeron que nos apuráramos porque iban a cerrar. Muchos malos ratos seguidos al hilo, aparte que todo caro

Strange method of ordering and paying, but I can handle that. Food good, no problem. But service and ambience? I’ve never been served by such a miserable bunch of people. It was like somebody had died and they were all in mourning! Please, I want happy, smiling servers who look like it is a pleasure to work for the company (put on an act even, but smile). Won’t be coming back or leaving a tip. Depressing experience.
