Chiringuito La Cubana — Restaurant in Benalmádena

Always good service but maybe serve a smile as well, even for not regulars?

I were impressed of the food my first visits, good (but expensive) food. Portions has turned smaller though, salads has turned in to mostly green leafs and the last times my Cookie Frappe got smaller and smaller, closer to less than half a cup, the rest was left in the blender. (For that price I actually do expect a full portion..)

A very nice and cool place, but the toilets are a truly downside! One big wish..after all these years visiting you for lunch..I do believe you could afford a new toilet seat..? Maybe even upgrade the toilets a bit..?

Hamacas (sunbeds) usually available. In the summer not always because it is so busy then. But that is a general problem on the...

This is not your typical chiringuito with fried fish and such; here you'll find more international things like Hawaiian poke bowls, salmon and tuna tartars, pita and hummus bowls, delicious fresh salads with creative ingredientes, among other things. But they also have burgers (massive!), wraps, nachos, pastas, risottos that all sounded and looked amazing. The decor is really nice and different, bathrooms were clean and well equipped, and the patio was well covered from the sun with big umbrellas. The only minus was the speed of the service; it took them more than an hour from the moment we were seated (at 1:30pm on a Wednesday at the end of August) to deliver our plates.
