I wasn’t going to set ourselves up for anything amazing, the place seemed to be very popular with locals, quite noisy but in a good way. We found a table no bother at all and were seen to pretty quickly with drinks and a menu. We both ordered the beef steak with Spanish potatoes and veg, the stake was cooked medium, which is how we asked for it. I was surprised as to how well it was cooked. So succulent and easy to cut and tender to chew. Really really great meal. Truly is a wonderful restaurant. Service was fast and friendly, I ordered the apple pie as a dessert, and the waiter said it would be 20 mins as it made to order. I was expecting an apple pie slice as you get traditionally, but this was a total surprise it came on time and it could actually be the best apple pie I’ve ever had. It was sliced, bit really thinly like crisp think had a lovely flavour to it and the edge was so crispy and yummy, the more I ate the more I wanted. It was for 2 but my gf couldn’t manage it so I happily took it. Man alive so moreish. If you ever get the chance when in Benalmadena put this lovely restaurant on your list. It won’t let you down. The waiter was superb. We left a tip it was that good.

We had a lovely meal here. Nice local restaurant, full of locals and families. Very reasonable priced. Give 4 star as the service was a bit slow (10 min+ wait several times for drink orders), and the squid ink pasta was a bit too salty and oily. Everything else was lovely. Meal for 3 plus several rounds of drinks came to 50 euro and they gave us a free tapa too.
