Chiringuito Picasso — Restaurant in Málaga

I have had 3 meals at this restaurant (breakfast, lunch and dinner), so I can offer a review based on a wider experience. The food was ok, nothing amazing, but not bad either, the prices seem a bit high for what they're offering, but I'm assuming it's what you find in this area. What I was really disappointed in was the service. It feels like all the waiters working there are new, like it was their first day. They were messing up the orders, going to the wrong table and I could even overhear a discussion between a young waiter and an older one about how the young one was not doing his job well (they were literally talking next to me, which is really not how the etiquette of a restaurant should be) and as for my orders, I had to wait about 10 minutes just for someone to see and hear me and bring me the menu so I could order. If I wouldn't try to look for someone all the time, probably to this time I would still not have the menu. They prepare the food relatively fast, which is a good thing. Another disappointment was when I had to pay, I literally had to beg them to let me pay, because everyone was forgetting about me after asking 2 times to pay. The person who helped me with the payment was the hostess in the end, which unfortunately didn't know how to make a POS payment and passed me over to the bartender. I m surprised about how bad their service is and the only advantage they have is the good location by the sea. If they were in an unpopular place, I doubt that they would make it with this service. I'm truly...

I am from the Netherlands, and I also work in restorant. So I want to say that its not easy business, maybe the people have bad day.

Unfortunately as a customer we pay. So we expect, and give criticism for good.

The sardines was precious, maybe little bit too much salt, but I dont know I am not fish specialist.

Lubina Espeto perfect I recommend with two hands, only too much time waiting for it like 1h 10 min around.

Calamar Espero, again we waited too much time maybe 10 min less that the other fish, but came half warm. Then I said to the waiter which he didn't spoke alot of English, I think nobody in the restoeant understood me correct and every time was misunderstanding. So my Calamar and his salad was thrown away or I only believed so. Aperanrly the salad was in the trash the calamar was again on the stick just little bit warmed up, with new salad. And I paid as you can see 30€ for it.

The Chiken with fries for the money you could put some marinate to be more juicy or bake it better. But it came fast so my son was happy.

Again I give a criticism I am not an angry client.

Just for a restorant on first line, on the beach can be waaaay better organized.

For the fresh fish I dont have words it was butiful to see it. But turbot 66€ for a 1,10 kg i dont know. For me was too much.

Still it was fresh...

This is the most disgusting resturant I have been to! Vi came for lunch and got a table, vi ordered 1 tapa de ensalada rusa that was from mercadona, then a plate of Rosada, that was not very fresh fish. Then for the main pulpo that was so chewy that it was almost impossible to eat, not only that it had a very bad taste. My partner spit out a piece and it was a FRIED USED CIGARETTE FILTER INSIDE!!! I almost puked I was so disgusted, we openden the pieces more up see (photo) We complained and the lady that was coming to us was very dirty and smelly, she whent to the kitchen..2 min later another crazy lady from the kitchen was laughing of us and saying it was not from cigarettes. We ask here to take a bite and taste for here self but that she clearly dident want to do. We got ready to leave and not paying anything, we had not even got an apology from no one neither!! Then they stopped us and asked us for to pay for the food!! Super rude and clearly struggling with their business as they treat customers like that, we ended paying for all other dishes and 2 waters. STAY AWAY!! DRITY, TERRIBLY AND...
