Andino Gastrobar - Huelin — Restaurant in Málaga

Peligroso! Like a hungry dog, I had my entire face halfway into a bowl of ceviche when the server came and asked how the food was and I gleefully giggled to myself and mumbled… Peligroso. Dangerously delicious.

We came in for an early Sunday lunch and were greeted by friendly staff who seated us. Music playing what can best be described as Salsa greatest hits of all times, perfectly setting the mood for me but let’s not linger on descriptive poetry of this cute little restaurant and get down to business.

We tried a bunch of different dishes to share across the table; Tequeños, ceviche, patacones, nachos, arepas, quesadillas - all with a wide variety of textures, flavors and interesting configurations tickling different parts of my pallet.

I could not possibly pick a favorite! I feel like they all deserved recognition, apart from the beans of the Arepa which had just a bit too much salt that distracted from the otherwise perfectly assembled Symphony of flavors.

Oh and the mint lemonade - an absolutely huge hit with both young and old. Like a very innocent Mojito.

The service was very pleasant without being neither overbearing nor neglectful and even our dog was welcomed with a bowl of water under the table.

Across from us were a family with a small child who immediately were assisted with a booster seat and as a parent, seeing that attentiveness and genuinely perceived kindness and accommodation, yes even when a drink is spilled across the table and the floor… it’s in these details the difference between just eating and actually having an experience. Other restaurants have a lot to learn from both the menu and the mannerisms of this establishment.

I suspect perhaps the person serving us was the owner or was at least a very accommodating and knowledgeable person who seemed genuinely interested in the food that was being served and for me who eat from the heart, it was a lovely addition to the...

Food was really good.. when it arrived. The service here was not great despite the waitress being very friendly. When we were ordering she didn’t write anything down just to come back in few minutes to ask what we ordered again. Half of the dishes arrived in reasonable time however the rest (60% of our order) didn’t come in next 40/50? minutes. Another waitress came over in the meantime and asked how’s our food, we informed that we’re still waiting for part of our order. After more waiting we caught another waiter and asked again. Eventually we got our full order and the food was really tasty, but looking at the fact that we had to ask three different people what’s happening with our food and wait for over an hour for it to arrive I’d say the service definitely needs...

I had a wonderful experience at Andino! The restaurant offers a great mix of cuisines, with the Colombian dishes being especially flavorful and authentic. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, making it perfect for both a casual night out or a special dinner. The staff is very friendly and positive, which makes the whole visit even more enjoyable. I also have to mention their mojito Mango flavour– it was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and probably one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Definitely a place worth visiting if you want to enjoy delicious food and great drinks in a...
