Chiringuito La Campana Playa — Restaurant in Málaga

We were here with our family a couple of days ago. We were put at a dirty table. But it's okay, I get it, they haven't had time to clean it up yet, okay. A couple of minutes later, a waitress girl comes. We ordered 1 leche manchado and a glass of ice, 1 cortado, 1 bottle of fizzy water, 2 daiquiri strawberries, 1 non-alcoholic mojito and 1 banana strawberry smoothie. Another waiter is a man who comes, we say we have already ordered, but I asked to bring a rag and I will wipe the table, he says "where is it dirty? these are traces that do not wash away anymore" I point to him on the rice that remains after past people and he says "it's about to be eaten by pigeons," but thanks for eventually bringing a rag and wiping the table... We sit for 5 minutes, ok, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes... bring 2 daiquiri and 1 smoothie. We're still waiting for 10 more, but the second part of the order is still not visible... It seemed like they were growing coffee to give it to us. After another 5 minutes, I went to the bar because many waiters either ate lunch or worked in another area of the establishment. They're asked, "Tell me, do you want anything else?" "Yes, we've been waiting for 2 coffees, 1 water, and a no-alcohol mojito for over 20 minutes" And the waiter tells the bartender to "look in their order" "yes really, we're going to take it out now." in one minute, they bring us 2 coffees and a bottle of water. Let's miss the moment that instead of a cortado, bring espresso... Another waitress girl comes and says what a mojito, replies without alcohol with strawberries. They brought it in 5 minutes. We finished and asked for a bill, waited 10 minutes, I look at the bill, everything was fine except for 2 mojitos in the check, and there was only one on the table. I talk about it and the man starts counting the glasses on the table, and I explained to him what was in every glass, finally he removed 1 mojito and counted us. But during the calculation, another young waiter came up and they started talking in Spanish, and the older one says, "They don't have any money." as a joke.. And the younger one replies, "don't say that," the older one, "they don't understand anything anyway," and I laughed and said, "I understand, and I speak 4 languages fluently, and I know little other languages," and the older one I thought his eyes would fall out of surprise and he left in a quick way. Not...

Not recommendable, the experience was disappointing. The shells in the sauce of garlic (peregrina al pilpil) was awful: too much of garlic and over-baked. The rings of fried squid weren't very fresh and looked that was industrial remade from a mixed mass of squid and dough. "Ensalada rusa" had very bad taste and decoration of prefabricated crab sticks. In the restaurant there is a mess with organisation, waitresses are running with over-sweated shirts and one of them randomly dropped a check of another table into one of our plate. Two positive things: the waitress was nice and sardinas were great. The price is over over! We paid 50 EUR/two persons for a food that should cost 20 EUR according to its quality. If you come here, recommendable to eat only sardinas and take a drink. There are much way better restaurants in Malaga with high quality food, high quality service and more...

Ayer, mi pareja y yo decidimos dar un paseo por el paseo marítimo de Málaga y nos topamos con un encantador chiringuito que parecía prometedor. Con una entrada decorada con una barca de espetos y una agradable iluminación, el lugar ofrecía varias zonas de estar, incluyendo camas balinesas al fondo. El personal nos recibió amablemente y nos dejaron elegir nuestro sitio, aunque las camas balinesas estaban reservadas. Optamos por una mesa para disfrutar de la brisa marina y el ambiente costero.

Al principio, solo queríamos tomar algo, pero ante la sugerencia del camarero, decidimos probar los espetos. Sardinas pequeñas pero sabrosas. Sin embargo, nos sorprendió que poco después otro camarero viniera a tomar nuestra orden para la cena. Aunque nos tomó un poco por sorpresa, pedimos una rosada a la plancha.

Desafortunadamente, la experiencia culinaria no estuvo a la altura de nuestras expectativas. El pescado parecía haber sido descongelado y estaba empapado de agua, mientras que las patatas y los pimientos carecían de sabor. El plato, lejos de representar la calidad culinaria de Málaga, resultó decepcionante y sobrevalorado, especialmente considerando su precio de 15,90€.

Como residente en la provincia de Málaga desde hace muchos años, estoy profundamente enamorado de esta tierra y su oferta gastronómica. Es una provincia que destaca por su calidad y hospitalidad hacia los visitantes. Por lo tanto, es desalentador encontrarse con establecimientos que no estén a la altura de este estándar.

Aunque pueda parecer una crítica dura, creo firmemente que es importante ofrecer retroalimentación honesta para promover la mejora continua. Invito a otros a formarse su propia opinión sobre este lugar, ya que las experiencias pueden variar y siempre es posible que hayan realizado mejoras desde mi visita. Como consumidor, valoro la transparencia y la oportunidad de compartir mis experiencias para el beneficio de otros usuarios.

En resumen, mientras que este chiringuito tiene un encanto innegable y un personal amable, su calidad culinaria dejó mucho que desear. Como amante de la provincia de Málaga, espero que este establecimiento tome en cuenta estas críticas constructivas y aspire a alcanzar los altos estándares que esta región...
