Venta Los Pacos — Restaurant in Marbella

Edited (added another review for a second visit) First visit: Overall a very nice place frequented by locals. We were staying at the adjacent hotel and the place was recommended by the receptionist since we asked for a place where locals eat. Tried the set menu for lunch. The pescado frita and merluza a la plancha. Good tasting food. Although I managed with my little Spanish, but none of the staff spoke enough English. The service overall was slow as the place was busy. If you’re not bothered by the slow service, it is good food and great value. Very recommended.

Second visit: we came back the next day for breakfast and the service was a real disaster. We have a 14 months baby. First they got the order missing. And then when we were waiting for the remaining part of the order, it came wrong after waiting literally 30min. During this time we asked for water more than 3 times and we didn’t get it. Mind you the place was not busy. What a nightmare! We wasted 2 hours of our schedule that day because we had breakfast there. I would not recommend this...

Horrible service

Update on the visit (you asked to be honest):

Horrible service! Came in at 12:20 and asked to be seated to eat. We sat at the table and waited for 10minutes before our drinks arrived. We then waited another 15minutes before we got annoyed and asked for someone to take our food order. We have then been told the lunch service starts at 13:00. No one told us this when we arrived and the menu that was on the table did not say this either. We then made a complain to which no one cared about and a woman told us we should have ordered the breakfast menu. So we asked for a breakfast menu and then been told the breakfast finished at 12:30. Neither English or Spanish language is a problem for us, but clearly your communication skills and...

Pésimo no lo siguiente.la comida nada buena.platos grandes pero calidad pésima. Me pedí un solomillo pimienta y estaba malo como recocinado o cocinado no de un día sino de una semana. Se lo dije al jefe me solucionó,pero evidentemente ya no quería lo mismo,le dije q le diría y ni me trajo la carta para que decidiera, después de que los demás habían comido se acordaron el pasar por la mesa, así que me pedí un postre.comible.pero vamos cuidado a la hora de los camareros en echar los pudings cero patatero.no m pedía yo nada que me tuviesen que cortar. La estrella la pongo porque tuvieron la amabilidad de no meter el plato que devolví en la cuenta

En respuesta a su contestación.entiendo que se pueda poner malo.el trago pero el olor de la carne me puedes decir que no me gustara....que me tocó a mí en ese dia..precisamente fue por recomendación.no buscando una calidad excelente a precio menú.y pedimos a la carta no a menú. Claro los demás comidos, se quitan las ganas. Otra cosa vamos me aprendí la carta de memoria para decidir que quería de nuevo sin que me la diera.pues como comprenderá mi reseña es negativa. Al igual que las positivas .hay que encajar las negativas y cuando pase eso por lo menos ofrézcale la carta ,que pueda...
