Los Marangós Pedregalejo | Tapas y Comida Española — Restaurant in Málaga

We had very nice salad, then vegetarian lasagna, I was expecting a bit more, this was very average. Then we had paella, this was beautiful, great portion good taste. We were a bit disappointed with staff, we finished the food and more than 30 minutes nobody haven’t took out plates, nobody ask for another drink. The table next to us, they have wait so much longer, the older guy was waving with his glass to have another drink, nothing. But when some new customers arrived, they have been served by waiters immediately. Sorry, but this is not good service. One waiter was eating his dinner a few meters away from us. We understand when the pub is full and they are busy, but this was...

The food was a huge letdown. The entrecote was had no proper sear, and bizarrely raw on some outer sides. The fries were limp and soggy. The croquetas were borderline inedible. I had to force myself to swallow them. Only the shrimp and pimientos del padrón were passable.

My girlfriend ordered callos a la andaluza, and it was basically a bowl of oily blandness. No depth, no seasoning… just a spoonful of grease.

The service didn’t help either. The waiter brought the main dishes before the starters. Maybe it was meant to be tapas style…

The seaside atmosphere was the only enjoyable part of an otherwise lame experience....

We had a fantastic experience in Pedregalejo, Spain, and Mimoun made it even better! He was our waiter and was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. His recommendations, especially for the seafood dishes, were spot on—the paella was absolutely delicious, and the flavors were unforgettable.

The atmosphere of the restaurant, located near the beach, added to the charm of the evening. While the food took a little longer than expected to arrive, Mimoun’s excellent service and kindness more than made up for it.

Thank you, Mimoun, for making our visit so special....
