    Horrible service! Seems they are simply seating on legacy and treating customers very badly! I’ll never go back to this place and won’t recommend it to anyone.

    Tapas? No tapas inside or outside. You have to get to the other end of the restaurant, on the other side of the street there is a very small but cute tapas bar of theirs.

    Felt they were trying to just fleece us and send us on our way. The food wasn't bad, but wasn't worth the price or having to put up with the rude service.

    The place is OK, but nothing spectacular. We had a hot and fresh meal for a fair price, but there is so many better places.

    La terraza es enorme. No tendrás problemas de sitio para comer pero a la hora de cenar se suele llenar. Aunque es muu famoso, no defrauda y tiene muy buena relación calidad precio

    El Pimpi es sin duda uno de los sitios más emblemáticos de Málaga. Una parada obligatoria para cualquier visitante a la ciudad. Y también fue el sitio donde se organizó el Foursquare Day 2014. Read more

    Riesengroße Tapasbar. Auch bei den Spaniern beliebt. Die Tapas sind allerdings ziemlich große Portionen, also mind. in einer Vierer-Gruppe hingehen.

    Bana ilk başta bol turistli ve çok pimpirikli geldi. Bir akşam 20 Euro'ya önüme kocaman bir kayık tabağı taptaze deniz ürünü gelince fikrim değişti.

    Un clásico de Málaga capital, donde siempre tienes un servicio y atención adorables y comida típica andaluza de una excelente calidad y presentación. Ensaladilla rusa, hamburguesa de rabo de toro.

    Karışık deniz ürünleri tabağı söyledik sözde 2 kişilikti ama çok rahat 4 kişi yerdi.Tapas için öğlen gelmeniz gerekiyormuş ve yalnız içeri girerken ufak bir bar kısmı var orada yiyebiliyorsunuz.
