We came after someone on YouTube recommended it. Glad we were able get a table without making a reservation (we couldn’t make one on their website) around 3pm. We ordered rice with Scarlett shrimp (carabineiros) and other mixed seafood, and it was pretty good though it could’ve been a little less salty. A perfect portion for two people. The coffee with milk (over ice) complimented the rice dish. We were charged for the bread even though we didn’t eat any of it, as we forgot we get charged for bread at Spanish restaurants. We ate outside in a comfortable shaded area so we had some reprieve from the sun and heat. The only disadvantage of eating outside is you get “pestered” by people selling stuff and constantly asking for money. Service overall was good and efficient. I think staff appreciated our attempt at ordering in Spanish.

I stopped by Los Mellizos in Malaga after craving for seafood for a few days. In terms of food, I got the Fried Fish Platter. It was A LOT of food for one person so I definitely recommend sharing with others. I’d rate the food 8.3/10 and there was multiple types of fish/seafood with varying texture and flavour/taste - Anchovies: 8.8/10: Fresh and nicely fried - Chanqetes: 7.5/10: Little white/silver fish, interesting texture as the fish were so small (strings of protein) - Calamares: 8.3/10: Decently fried - Rosada en adobo: 9/10: Nice chunks of fish (Cod?) that were nicely battered and fried. - Acedias: 8.5/10: More delicate fish, good combo with the rest, i.e. cod - Pescadilla: 9.3: Good flavour, nicely battered and fried, felt like a great value - Squid tentacles: 8.3/10: A bit dry but interesting to try

Was searching for a good restaurant that could deliver a quality paella, Mezillos was not the place. Ordered the calamari dishes with a plate of swordfish steak and a seafood mixed paella. Starting with the first order, the calamari was under seasoned, it had a little resistance when chewing it but it was ok, the mini calamari was the better of them two but still under seasoned, for the second dish I specifically ordered the swordfish steak to come with the paella came 15 min before had to sit there and eat it by myself before it went cold while the familly had to wait for the paella, swordfish steak was ok nothing much to it, I think the chef was holding on to the salt like a bag of gold, vegetables was bland and soaked in oil looked like they bought it from the frozen section at mercadona , was not pretty on the plate. Now for the star dish, the paella (46€). Wasnt much to the taste, wasnt any flavours that stood out, just plane tasting paella, think if they added some mussels which it lacked and better stock it could of hightened the flavour in the dish. The price for all this including 4 soft drinks ended up inn little over 100€ just was in my opinion way too much and I would expect a higher quality and standard to these dishes. Not worth it.

Despite reading unfavorable reviews about the food and service, I decided to give this restaurant a chance, assuming it couldn't be that bad. I arrived for a late lunch around 3 PM and found the restaurant to be very busy. After a 10-minute wait, I was seated and ordered grilled octopus and paella casa. I was informed that the paella would take 20 minutes, but the octopus would be served first. However, after waiting for 30 minutes, I inquired about the paella and was told it would take another 10 minutes due to the busy kitchen. After approximately 20-25 minutes, the paella was finally served, but unfortunately, it was far from satisfactory. The dish was watery, lacked flavor, and the rice was undercooked to the point of being crunchy in parts. Despite my hunger, I could only manage to eat three spoonfuls, mostly shrimp, as the dish was simply unpalatable. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant, especially for solo travelers. It's not worth the money, (paid total 37.50eur), with the paella alone priced at 17 euros. Id go to Los Marangos instead.

Quality of food average and over priced! We have ordered the ham croquettes: by the pic on the menu, they were served with potatoes and padron peppers but when we received them, they only came with potatoes.The waiter didn’t really bother to apologies or to explain they didn’t have certain items in stock(it can happen).The waiters were very unhygienic and most of them wearing dirty shirt uniform- they were smoking in between the delivery of dishes without washing their hands and leaving the cigarette on the edge of the wall. Also the crockery and glasses were dirty as we sat( see photos attached). The glass for the water smelled like stinky fish. I have preferred to drink from the bottleneck of the water bottle. Also, the taste of sangria wasn’t the best compared to others places in Malaga. I wouldn’t come back to this restaurant.

Wonderful experience dining at this restaurant. It was a last minute search for a place to eat. Google search has this on top of the list. We came in without reservations at 830pm. The outdoor and 1st floor dining area were almost full, but was immediately escorted upstairs. The upstairs dining is beautiful set up. I hv several pictures attached to this review. The wait staff are very attentive and courteous. Now for the food. For a party of seven, we ordered 1 fried fish and 1 calamaritos as appetizers, 2 paellas, 1 Parridella peschado. Huge portions! The paella marischos is really great but the paella negra is my favorite. All of the dishes and appetizers are great. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try when you are in Malaga. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 to the staff!!
