If you visit Fuengirola Cafeteria, el Molinillo is a must. The food was delicious, and the service was great. We had the Cristina sandwich just delicious.

This cafe is absolutely astonishing, the ladies working behind the counter are so lovely and they treat you like family. I cannot recommend a place better than this in Malaga. If you’re visiting in the morning or night, you will be treated like family. 100/10

I came here with my family for an early lunch and got seating outside no problem. We all ordered something different and really enjoyed our food and drinks. The waitress who looked after us was great and very prompt, I would highly recommend coming here if you are in the area or visiting the bio park.

Had a really bad and over priced tapas: pinxto few doors down today; needing the down to appreciate the up”s. Good range, surprised that all pinxto are the same price. First time I have seen fresh cod on bread even though really hanging out for it; the sea urchins was a surprise,

Lovely little local cafe which we popped into for brunch on our way to Bio Parc. Really friendly service and although we only had two tortilla espanol bocadillos the food was so tasty and fresh. Place was popular with locals.
